  1. Watching Bobby defend Akina knowing Akina is his best source of team info is hilarious. “He’s not the problem because it will hurt my site if he isn’t coaching next year!” Akina was a bad hire. We knew it at the time and we know it watching his pass defense play like absolute dog shit given that he has no idea how to coach zone defense. He was run out of Arizona last year for having one of the worst pass defenses in college football and we decided to hire him for only God knows what reason. Flood should get fired but I’m curious to see if Sark actually has the self awareness and courage to fire someone from his inner circle. One or two coaches always get poached away because that is how it goes every year. Going to be an interesting offseason.
  2. Caleb Hawkins of North Texas needs to be our first call at RB. The guy is 6’2/200 and a fucking monster. I have no idea how the recruiting services missed that guy.
  3. I also am not sure what bringing in a tackle accomplishes. Baker and Goosby got a lot better as the year went on. They are going to be solid next year. C/G is where we have to allocate NIL money to. It’s also very likely Flood gets fired here very soon, too. We cannot just go into 2026 without a running game.
  4. The reality is we do not have a schedule consistent with a team trying to build a resume for the playoffs. Unlike basketball, you are penalized far more for a loss than rewarded for a win. It’s our own fault from this point forward if we do not schedule accordingly. Texas should cancel the Ohio State game and we should have one FCS scrimmage on our schedule every year. If we hold our noses up and say “We’re Texas we are not doing that!” then we should not bitch about missing the playoffs. There is no sense and playing a different game than our competition is so we can chase money.
  5. Texas does not need to have a schedule harder than our peers if we are not rewarded for it. We need to play the same game everyone else is.
  6. I want us to cancel the game immediately if are not in the playoffs. If the game is manage the win loss column, we need to play the game. Fuck what anyone thinks.
  7. Anyone with a fucking brain knows what would happen if we played BYU right now. If the point is to get the best teams in the playoffs we should be in. If we do not get in we absolutely should pay whatever the penalty is and cancel the Ohio St game next year and schedule an FBS school. Fuck the TV executives if the only goal is wins and losses.
  8. That was probably the most rewarding live sporting events I have been to since the Rose Bowl. The atmosphere before the game was a 10 and the crowd was insane. I am totally wrecked this morning and fuck anyone in the face who thinks this is not a playoff team.
  9. The situation you described is literally what happened at Ohio St last year and they won the national championship.
  10. Cognitive dissonance is one of the most powerful human conditions. I just do not know how you convinced yourself that Sark, a former addict/alcoholic is incapable of falling off the wagon.
  11. Something is wrong with Williams. That knee injury has robbed him of his elite athleticism. He’s the safety version of Baxter to me until proven otherwise. We need multiple veterans brought in to the secondary next year.
  12. Outside of Wisner and Simon I think you can change over the entire room honestly. Cooper comes in as a true freshman and two transfers to compliment those three is how I would go. Do you have eye balls and have you watched any football this year?
  13. That’s meant to be we do not know who is going to win or lose ahead of us in the rankings. Prepare for A&M like the playoffs are on the line because they just might be.
  14. Baxter is a flop. His injuries have taken away all of his athleticism and I do not want to see him in a Texas uniform taking any NIL next year. Caleb Dawkins from North Texas needs to be a priority as soon as the portal opens.
  15. The no development argument is fucking stupid. There are plenty of things to be bothered about but we have seen a lot of great stories in player development. Just on this team we have seen Arch develop during the season to go along with players like Goosby, McDonald, Baker, Livingstone and January. The issue we had is when there was a gap like RB and OL we did not do anything in the portal to address the problem. And we also hired a defensive back coach who quite literally does not understand zone concepts. That was a comically stupid hire. But lack of player development is not the issue at all.
  16. We should get a veteran safety and corner. Next year there can be no excuses.
  17. We do not know what is going to happen outside of our game. Sark should be preparing the team like a playoff spot is on the line.
  18. These stupid narratives need to die. This site is filled with people who give a lot to help Texas win.
  19. I think in 2025 we are all past the point of needing a purity test from our coaches. We just do not want their lifestyle affecting their job performance. And we have pretty compelling evidence that happened this year at Texas. I still think the admin wants him here but they are absolutely going to strongly encourage/mandate changes. If Sark leaves it’s because he chose to leave or things spiraled out from here.
  20. No one I know ever talked to me about any of the rumors you mentioned. Other than the bizarre plane story about Herman’s wife but that was after he was fired.
  21. The people “indulging the rumors” are people with names on buildings. And those people are not prone to engage in gossip. I guess I glossed over a lot of posts but how many people are wanting him fired? The accounts I do not have on ignore are wondering if he leaves on his own.
  22. There is no good way to leave a school to take a job in the NFL or another school. Unless you go full on Lane Kiffin most people forget about the process in about five seconds.
  23. I have no problem if Sark’s aspirational goals were to go to Texas to build his resume to go to the NFL. If he left us for the NFL it meant he was successful at Texas and he kept his past demons in check. That’s an outcome we all can root for. That’s not something to be resentful about, IMO.
  24. What is obvious from this post is you have made no attempt to get involved with NIL, go to any functions or meet anyone on this site. If you had you would realize how ridiculous you look making statements like this. On top of that you spend a very large percentage of your time trying to dismiss everything you read here. It’s a very bizarre path you have taken.
  25. It is funny watching internet trolls like yourself project your insecurities onto people who actually have some insight into what is going on.
