To quote the great Norm Hitzges, "Yards are for suckers, points are for winners."

Can I raise a practical question at this point: are we gonna do Stonehenge tomorrow?

At Alabama, Sark had multiple first round draft picks at QB. At Texas, he has a QB that makes us long for the days of Case McCoy.

Maybe I am not a sophisticated football fan, but since 2010, no matter who the HC is or who the DC is, the Texas defense has looked the exact same every single year. Maybe we are better at tackling some years than others, but regardless, we never seem to be anything but a mediocre, plodding defense that never seems to make a play when we need it most. I will then watch other teams play teams that beat us, and their defenses seem to be bigger/faster and make the plays that we didn't. NC State turned Tech inside and out defensively, forced turnovers and dominated the game. How many players on the NC State defense would have been recruited by Texas? Also, I don't believe in football savants. I don't believe our program is "the right coach away" from being great. We have hired many coaches since 2010 and for all the pomp, none seem to look any better or worse than the guys that proceeded or followed them. Just the same thing over and over again.

It feels like this program just can't get it right. Since the Bama title game loss, we're on our 4th coach, we've burned through OCs/DCs/ADs and millions and millions of dollars with no success. Baylor does nothing but hire winning coaches for the last 15 years and we can't seem to get out of our own way. This feels like 7-5/6-6 all over again.

Still would have rather had a pick than not. Not getting one means we have to explain why to every kid we recruit this year because we all know every school we recruit against will push the "highly ranked class, 0 draft picks" narrative.

That entire draft was painful. Wish Kyle Shanahan had thrown Texas a bone with that last pick, but I guess not. Hopefully 2022 is a banner year on the field and the 2023 draft reflects that.

Necrobump. I stream with YouTube TV and I have ESPN+, but I am being told that because YouTube TV doesn't offer LHN as part of its lineup, I can't watch LHN on ESPN+. So, bottom line, what streaming service can I use that does have the LHN so that I can watch today's spring game?

What is the logic in taking a long snapper as a recruited player? Isn't this normally a position that you can find someone currently on the roster to do and not have to take up a scholarship?

Long time reader, first time poster, I created an account just for this moment, what a day, what a weekend, what a close by Sark and staff. It's been a long 12 years wondering in the wilderness, brighter days are ahead and I cannot wait!
