Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
I just donāt see how that 49 year old man is going to play OL for Texas.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Everyone sees that. Iām talking about things like playing Missouri without their QB, the fact that ND is over-rated, etc.

Sanity has been restored in the universe. Sark in the second half was way better than Elko. While Iām still frustrated with Sark for not getting the full value out of his talent this year, I thought I was taking crazy pills seeing Elko in the first half look better than Sark. Elko is a decent DC, but he just canāt be as good as A&Māa record this year. They had a sneaky easy schedule.

Nope. The Texas WR talent is wayyy better, but being completely wasted. People think itās the WR but itās the terrible OL and bad route trees by Sark.

Heās just a terrible OC. Heās totally wasting a very very good QB, just like he wasted Ewers. And to the question of talent, those saying Texas doesnāt have better talent arenāt very involved with the recruiting board. A&M does NOT have better talent.

Sark getting outcoached in the first half. He has better talent, home field advantage, and isnāt doing well. I never thought Elko would be a better coach than Sark.

I think you are getting wrapped around the axle on some word definitions. If you actually do an ai prompt for addiction, addictions are described diseases. But, your hangup in this conversation is way less offensive than how others have characterized being an alcoholic.

Gone posters
I am intrigued to figure out who you are. I know your style I just canāt place it.

Isnāt it awesome to have a view that conflicts completely with mountains of evidence compiled by some of the brightest minds on the planet?Cool!

Trivial things that please the ever living shit out of you
I had that video in the 70ās. It was my bible for learning how to swing a golf club. I never had the money to have enough lessons to learn the golf swing properly so that was the best I could afford. Interestingly, that video was missing some critical bits of information about the swing that I never learned over the next 50 years. Finally 10 months ago I embarked on the journey to truly learn the right golf swing. Iām still not there, but Iām getting closer. That video started it all.

Yes itās new. As you just said, things have changed. Texas last year did not get commitments a few weeks before signing day from four white three star players who had offers from just lower level schools. Thatās definitely different.

I caught the cancer
Did she also do testing on the cancer cells themselves to verify they arenāt the type that requires chemo and radiation? That is a second critical gene test. Iām sure she did, but I have found some doctors donāt do that test when the cancer is caught early, and they really should.

Texas Basketball 2025-26: Itās Miller Time
Way to avoid the question. At the time Alabama hired Oats, was the Alabama program a better destination than Texas, yes or no?
-

Good grief. Are you really this dense? No, not Alabama now. When they hired Oats originally. Seriously dude, are you half asleep right now?

Agree. He needs a year. I just know that Beard immediately showed a massive impact.

Texas Basketball 2025-26: Itās Miller Time
Iām not saying at all that the mistake was not getting Oats to leave Alabama. Let me try again to restate the point. My point was that Alabama, a school similar to Texas (not a top destination job and more of a football school), managed to find a great coach and keep him. They found him in obscure Buffalo. That was very impressive coach scouting. Meanwhile, Texas took a guy who on paper has some real questions. If Miller kicks ass, then great. All this worrying will have been for nothing. And when Alabama took Oats Iām sure there were tons of questions about his hire. But it turned out to be a very good hire. And he was a pretty unknown entity. Miller is a pretty well known entity, and if history holds he wonāt be as successful as Texas or its fans would expect or want. Thatās what I find frustrating. Itās a little bit like OU finding Stoops from the DC ranks and Riley from the OC ranks and then beating Texas fairly regularly. Those guys werenāt the big names when they were hired but the OU powers knew enough about football to make sure they got the true up and coming coaches. Of course Riley has plateaued and may flame out, but at OU he caused a lot of issues for Texas.

I would agree with that 100%. Hence my question to Aces. Just because the Texas job was according to him, āover-ratedā, which might be true, he missed the whole point of my post, which was that another school that has the same challenges as Texas (Alabama), still managed to hire what appears to be so far an outstanding coach. If Miller succeeds, then this message board fodder will have been pointless, but many, myself included, are all speculating about the quality of Miller.

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
So many of the products and services today are becoming enshitified, itās actually a pleasant surprise when you are a customer of products that arenāt enshitified. I thought about that when I renewed my AllTrails subscription. So far, still an awesome product.

Ok, but do you believe Alabama was a better basketball job than Texas?
-
Texas Basketball 2025-26: Itās Miller Time
I think what was most frustrating about the Miller hire is Oats. Alabama had a shit basketball program and somehow not only found him, but have kept him (so far). I just donāt buy the argument that Miller was the best Texas could expect given the state of the program. But maybe the administration really believes Miller can win big. Weāve got a ways to go before we find out.

There is clearly a new idea on the 40 acres about how recruiting should be done. Iām not sure where these new insights are going to take the program, but it will at least be entertaining to see if all these guys succeed or fail at Texas. Iām very skeptical.
