  1. Meh, a marriage of two losers. FYI the guy that closed the Nike Texas deal is sitting in the C suite of Nike. Texas will be fine in any new deal.
  2. Yesterday was great. They had a nice mix of running and passing. However………… I’m fed up with watching dozens of other college offenses easily and very quickly complete 5 yard slants, 5 yard button hooks in open spaces, and 5 yard outs or ins, while Texas rarely if ever does this. Our short passing game almost always consists of bubble screens behind the line of scrimmage. The problem with this approach is that the defense can basically play the run and still handle the bubble screens. That reduces the effectiveness of the running game and that puts Texas into too many 3rd and long plays once they blow up the bubble screen. It also makes the offense more vulnerable to sacks. For Christ’s sake mix in a few quick hitter short pass plays, especially the slant. Why does Sark hate the slant?? #sarkhatestheslant. #bringbacktheslant.
  3. Arch is improving. He played well yesterday. Sark schemed better for him in the game. I did notice he never gets rid of the ball fast on the very first quick read. I wonder if that’s because Sark isn’t scheming many routes where guys get open quickly across the line of scrimmage, or whether he’s late with the reads. He had to step up and go to second reads a lot yesterday.
  4. I know, right? What are we supposed to say to the other 198 guys on this board?
  5. If you’re getting ejected from your daughter’s water polo matches you may have some problems to address.
  6. Unpopular opinion? She was highly over-rated and a terrible choice as Michael Corleone’s girlfriend/wife. But…rest in peace?
  7. If you weren’t giving handies to some ESPN executive somewhere, you never would have been on the air. You would have been fired again, just like you were at The Ticket in Dallas.
  8. He needs to post a sequel.
  9. One of the really cool things about Niblett is that he almost didn’t sign with Texas, but did, and then seriously considered transferring several years because he was having difficulty breaking into the lineup somewhere. But didn’t. Now he’s a legend in the Texas OU series. Hook Em.
  10. I’m talking about ctj lambasting everyone for suggesting he might play.
  11. I was highly confident he wasn’t Heisman worthy but couldn’t prove it yet, until today. Bullshit.
  12. Man. We needed this. Bad. I needed it.
  13. Well you had me convinced, but these posts aged poorly.
  14. There were multiple stories that said the injury was different. What’s the true story?
  15. I have no idea why this post showed up in this thread. Surly isn’t working well with the new IOS
  16. K stands for K*@!(:^# and S stands for S&+$”#{}. I hope that clears things up.
  17. This is an incredible story. I’m sincerely touched by the effort you put into creating great experiences for Texas fans.
  18. Some sort of beef bowl
  19. Ate there for the first time in probably ten years. Have never had a worse salt bomb than that. It’s like they poured an entire canister of salt onto the meat. Terrible food. Will be another ten years before I go back.
  20. I hated the news Safari design in iOS 26, so I changed the Safari settings to something similar to the old setup, see below. However, it appears to have created a really screwed up interface when trying to post on Surly. See below. Anyway to fix this? It grays out the posting area
  21. My quest for getting back to a sub 10 handicap continues. I’m going thru another swing adjustment from a new instructor. I’m pretty excited about the potential. However, I’m also finding that mentally with chipping I’ve completely fallen apart. This is after having, and getting rid of, the yips earlier this year on putting. Does anyone have a good recommended book or resource for dealing with the mental aspects of golf? I’m losing it.
  22. Who else will be at the Texas Stars opener drinking beer with us?
  23. 1. OL play and recruiting. 2. QB play. 3. Stalling offense that can never run. 4. Bullied defense against tough running offenses. 5. Underdeveloped star receivers. 6.Special teams gaffs. 7.Penalties galore. 8.Execution mistakes galore. 9. His teams always play with less passion than the good opponent. I’m officially out on Sark. He’s a decent coach, but not good enough to build a consistent top program that can win it all, given the plethora of talent and resources he has to succeed, more than most other programs. His coaching shows a lack of attention to detail, a lack of creativity, a lack of analysis and response, and a lack of leadership. See y’all once everyone else figures out he’s not the guy. Probably will take until the middle of the 2027 season. I guess there’s a 1% chance he realizes he’s failing and figures out a way to adjust. But usually guys that aren’t smart enough to succeed, aren’t smart enough to fix their own inadequacies
  24. This is where my head is at. Manning sucks, but so does the offense. So does the OL. And Florida is showing that you just need to bully the defense to break through. And the special teams effed up. It’s a total program breakdown, and at this point you have to look at Manning’s and Ewers lack of development and point to the coach.
