  1. Less “heavy in the loafers” and more “fat in the ass”
  2. Is Brandon Harris actually any good? I always thought he was just a biddable yes-man who was good enough at his job to keep his job but no better. Was I wrong? And if I’m not, why did we give him a huge raise? Because Sark likes the guy?
  3. lol at all the Micah Hudson posting. The white knights and the "greatest generation" posters are both ridiculous in their own uniquely stupid ways. Fuck Tech, fuck the Aggies, and fuck Micah Hudson too. And Looch is such a thin-skinned pussy. Any criticism is a "crusade" against him that is "ruining the board" for everyone. Never surprising but always entertaining.
  4. This thread prompted me to go back and look at our class on 247. I didn't realize that 22 of the 25 HS recruits are early enrollees. I knew it was a big number, but 22 out of 25 is insane. Awesome head start for all of those guys.
  5. Today fucking sucks. Glad he got to finish Twin Peaks but I don't think we'll ever see a director or artist like him again. I don't give a shit about celebrity deaths but I'll admit this one hit home.
  6. Locking this thread until April would probably be for the best, but someone would just start another one.
  7. I get why you might think that, but go rewatch the OSU or Baylor games from ‘22 and tell me you don’t think Ewers has improved. He has some serious limitations and fit issues in a pro-style offense, but he definitely has gotten better.
  8. I get why you don’t like Ewers. he’s the kinda guy to dive head first into a linebacker because he knows we need the yards. He’s not perfect, but he’s damned good and leaving it all on the field. You aren’t the kind of person to think through what that requires or how to adjust your expectations. You’ve always struck me as being more of a Casey Thompson type of guy. Preening. Whining. Like you think you’ve done enough just by showing up, and if things don’t go right it must be someone else’s fault. It’s not really your fault. You just weren’t raised right and maybe you don’t have any real friends. But if your brain is really reflected in the takes you post on this board, you should know that your point of view is not healthy, normal, or in step with how the world and people actually work. Go fuck yourself.
  9. Goddamn, is literally every thread on the $9.95 board going to be about obviously attractive women and the gay men that won't bang them? NTTAWWT. But come on. We have Aggies to make fun of. Like how fucking stupid are they to not clock that Austin doesn't have an NFL team? That's the obvious meaning behind the statement "wherever Ewers plays next year, won't be in Austin, Texas." Right, because he'll be in the NFL. But the chucklefucks that run TexAgs know their audience is so stupid and blinded by hate that they'll immediately assume that means Ewers is transferring. So they throw the chum in the water and see how these idiots lap it up.
  10. You know, I’m probably getting my dates mixed up. I know that the black players on PSU’s squad were concerned about going to Texas, which they viewed as being less welcoming of black people at the time. But literal segregation was probably not the issue at that point. still, I’m sympathetic to their concerns.
  11. They refused to play in a segregated state (players can’t stay at same hotel, etc.), so I can respect it.
  12. It's a pretty part of the state. Also nowhere near where the game is played.
  13. I think the list of differences between Herman and Sark is much, much longer than this. For example, the fact that Sark doesn't use his QB like a fullback, which allows us to recruit QBs who would rather focus on other things. Like passing the ball. I also have yet to see Sark flip off a camera or challenge an opposing coach to a fight. He also seems to know his kicker's name (although its debatable whether that's an improvement). In fact, I think it would be easier to list the very, very few ways in which they are similar. Like the fact that they both tend to play more conservatively with a lead and...well that's pretty much it.
  14. We certainly need some big bodies but I hope he's (relatively) cheap. The guy's historic production coupled with UNC's "development" of its defensive players suggests he may not be a serious contributor.
  15. One of the mods on the LHN subreddit started a patreon account to host the game videos. You have to join to watch them, but joining is free. He just asks that some people donate some money to cover the cost.
  16. But this is what people are complaining about - Sark is stubborn and calls plays for the team he wants, not the team he has. He needs to look at his roster, and most notably his QB, and call plays that allow the team to lean on their strengths. He has never done that at Texas. The TCU game in 2022 is the best example. That shit felt punitive. Stop listening to Colin fucking Cowherd. He is garbage. Despite what I said above about Cowherd, there was something of a coaching mismatch in this game. I honestly think Dillingham has the biggest upside of any coach today. He's still young and has plenty of time to develop or disappoint, but I've been watching ASU all season and am impressed with the dude. He's a gambler but he bets smart. He's willing take chances and move his pieces around to create whatever advantages he can. Doesn't always pay off, but the level of innovation and adaptability is something I wish we had more of. Not saying he's a better coach than Sark, but he definitely has some strengths that Sark lacks. 100% TSRH. Our ceiling has been limited since the day we lost Baxter. I love how Wisner has stepped up and I'm glad Blue has settled into his niche, but we do not have an every down back like Brooks, Bijan, or even RoJo. It doesn't excuse all our offense's woes, but it was always going to be a problem for an offense that relies heavily on a successful run game. Because Sark is stubborn and bad at in-game adjustments. We come out at half time and the other team has made its adjustments to what we're doing. We don't adjust to their adjustments until the fourth quarter (if at all), and it means we consistently have shitty third quarters. Part of me thinks it would be better for us to be down at halftime against OSU - at least then we would know that we have to change our game up and would have the half to do it. The only other game where we trailed at half was UGA and that was probably our best third quarter of the season. This is drivel with a bunch of clichés thrown in for good measure. I feel like I'm reading a comment on reddit from some poster who watched two of our games all season and gets most of their football analysis from memes.
  17. That fan base is bizarre. Became instantly obsessed with us after the game in Austin, like they had just won the Super Bowl. Huge born loser syndrome. They remind me of ISU fans. I think they actually buy all of Kirby’s bullshit about them being perpetual underdogs.
