  1. I expect a “trending to Texas” post from Nahlin right before he picks Arkansas.
  2. Some of us are dad’s in our 40’s, you fucking cunt.
  3. I doubt that. Anything is possible but there is too much money involved. And that probably would only make things worse.
  4. I wouldn’t lose one minute of sleep if Joe Rogan never recorded another podcast again but there is something disturbing about the release of this clip and the timing over the controversy of his vaccine comments. Of all of the criticisms of him, has anyone who knows or worked with him ever said he was racist?
  5. Citing player buy in as a reason to see improvement is the literal definition of hope as a strategy.
  6. The optimistic view for 2022 is we have probably found a long term solution at QB, improved WR/TE and odds are the offense is really going to be exciting to watch. The pessimistic view is the fact that Sark took the Charlie Strong QB Solution to the defense. By merely hoping things will get better, he’s probably already setup that unit to fail. Our entire hopes rest on Gary Patterson sprinkling fairy dust from a distance on the unit and coaches. I fully expect PK to get fired early in the year and 2022 to be far less successful than it could have been as a result.
  7. The play in the Kansas State game where the 4.99/40 QB blows right past him.
  8. Has Tim Brewster now worked for about 30 teams?
  9. He won’t even last the season if he doesn’t show improvement. The special assistant to the head coach will be taking over.
  10. Well, I fell into the trap of “Texas coaches are confident.” I should have known better.
  11. Looks like we are going to get another starter for the secondary from the portal. When you add Cook and Allen on top of what we are getting in Watts and Brini, we might actually have a functioning secondary next year. Now Patterson just has to help Joseph and PK remember how to coach.
  12. Austin Jones is a solid player. He will do well there.
  13. I remember thinking their secondary looked like the best secondary I have ever seen in college football. Some of that certainly was quality of opponent bias but this guy is a significant upgrade over Foster.
  14. I watched several Georgia games this year when he was starting and their definition of struggling and ours are vastly different.
  15. He was supposed to the be the true number one receiver after the Pickens injury. Anyone know what happened this year?
  16. Even adjusted for you, this is a particularly shitty post.
  17. Majors can absolutely get better with another offseason and camp. That’s doesn’t mean we sit by and not try to get another player from the portal. But absolutely every single player in that group that is not severely limited physically can improve.
  18. This is where I am at. I get that with a seven player class in total at the position numbers are where they want to be but I would process at least one player after the spring and get one true starter in the portal. I wasn’t thinking that way previously but that’s when I was mistaken about there being a hard limit on transfers. Essentially outside of interior defensive line and running back every position should be upgraded with a transfer if possible. Realistically if we got 5-6 starters from the portal that would be amazing if they hit the key groups. But at some point we are going to have to also scheme better and improve players on our own roster. Offensive line is the one position where more experience and coaching can have a real effect unlike some other positions. It is at least possible that another year for some of these players will yield better results than 2021.
  19. I remember John Elway playing in DKR like it was yesterday. We were very fortunate to have a young Favre playing in those games against A&M.
  20. Equating expressing concerns about a player with some red flags to a “boo-hoo train” is peak surly. We are obviously hopeful that he plays like he did in 2020 with a different coach but it’s foolish to simply write off 2021 because it bothers you.
  21. “There is growing confidence by Texas coaches” means we should see a commitment tweet to OU from Sanders tomorrow afternoon.
  22. I hope he proves me wrong for being concerned. Hopefully being utilized more like a large slot receiver gets him to buy in.
