  1. I think it may be time for Sark to tell Flood to fuck off. 8 scholarship guys in the room is an absolute disaster. We should be looking to raid the cream of the G6 at this point.
  2. Please don't do this. The thread is rough enough without having this kind of argument injected.
  3. Goddamn how many times are we going to change the thread title today?
  4. Yeah, why the fuck are you labeled as a new poster? Nice. Sark has some negative qualities, but the dude can close. Remember this: This kind of shit makes me unironically want to fire Flood. Such a stupid, limited view of how football can be played for someone who ostensibly has made it their career. Maybe his is just some fucking good ol' boy meathead who made friends with the right people.
  5. regarding your third point - I generally agree that this fucking annoying (with a caveat). Don't tell me you know something but aren't going to share it because that means nothing to me. I get that it bolsters their reputation to show they have connections, but that's not what you get paid for. You get paid to tell us things. If you can't tell us, that's fine. I get it. But don't say anything then, because saying you know a secret you can't share is just annoying and self serving. The caveat I mentioned - I don't mind them telling us that something is going to drop later but that they can't tell us now. That is actually valuable information because it tells me to keep my head on swivel. I also don't mind if they tell us they know something but can't share when there's a "wink wink nod nod" quality to it. Like, the secret is probably obvious to anyone paying close attention. But in both of those situations, they're actually sharing information in an indirect way.
  6. It's already been discussed to death, but I couldn't agree more. I like Bobby, Gerry, and the guys at OTF, but I don't take their word as gospel and they usually don't either. They hedge plenty, but people hear what they want to hear and ignore the rest. I also agree with @SydneyCarton rant - why are people so hung up on the semantics of whatever phrase people use? If they had used some phrase other than "going all in" would the complainers be happier? What exact language did you want? I have to assume that lot of the more vocal whiners on this thread have not been following Texas recruiting very long, or at least not recruiting from the portal, and don't realize how fluid things are. OTF has earned their credibility, but the thing is still unpredictable. It is what it is, they can't change that. They're going to get things wrong, and you can't lose your fucking mind every time they do. Especially if them being "wrong" relates more to the words they used than actual facts. Of course you do.
  7. It’s the 21st century. Israeli people are white now.
  8. Number go up and turn green/blue = good Number go down and turn yellow = bad
  9. It's the 21st century. Italians are white people now.
  10. I'm actually hoping that's exactly what he is. Because it's an opportunity for him to show that he is better than a 7th round draft pick and will be a solid QB2 at a more stable franchise.
  11. You're not wrong, but to be fair to myself (and the other crybabies on here), my "fan expectations" of what we would target in the portal were based on my own perceptions of what we need, rather than anything that the 9.95ers said. We need an experienced every-down RB. We need starter-quality OL at guard and center. Based on what I'm seeing and hearing, we are trying to meet those needs, but are not having success. Plus, I don't love the big softbody IDL we took from Arkansas. Hope he proves me wrong, but that seems like wasted time and money that could be better spent on meeting our needs on offense.
  12. The only player I really feel like we "wasted" during the Sark era was Bijan. And I can't really blame that on Sark or anyone other than Herman for leaving the roster in such awful shape. But every season since 2022, I find myself thinking "what could this team have done with Bijan on the roster?" I don't feel that way about Manning this season. I wish we had done more to support him and to prepare him for the starter role, but those would have been band aids on the bullet wound that was Arch's play for the first 5 or 6 games this year.
  13. I remember watching that play live and thinking the dude got embarrassed. Game on the line and you can't drop the QB? I get that it's harder than it looks, but come on.
  14. "I'm just gonna stop giving a fuck" was Arch's "let ya nuts hang" moment.
  15. But Arch has a lot of natural athletic talent, most notably speed, which makes it hard to accept that he's really "white"
  16. I agree with this sentiment and have been banging the same drum for a long time. But at some point I have to ask, what is the point of having "fuck you" money if you never say "fuck you"? I get that we have a lot of money dedicated to keeping our current roster happy. And I get that (over)paying for a transfer player can upset the room. But are those really factors for our OL room? It seems like we can get someone at guard of Goosby's quality for Goosby money without rocking the boat too much. I readily admit my ignorance on this subject and am probably just being impatient. We've got irons in the fire. But I don't think we'll feel good about how frugal and smart we are if this portal window closes without us taking some quality OL, regardless of how much they cost.
  17. We have people on this board who are directly involved in funding NIL who are telling us what went down. They have nothing to gain by lying and there’s no reason to doubt their credibility. And yet people are still inventing hypotheticals so they can keep arguing / nursing their pet grievances. Some of y’all need to have a hard conversation with the man and/or woman in the mirror.
