  1. I get your point, but there is a huge difference between "not meeting expectations" and whatever the fuck RT is doing.
  2. That was quite a rabbit hole. I'd completely forgotten about this guy but I remember the car wash abduction. Really freaked my mom out at the time.
  3. Even having him as the DB coach seems like a bad idea. Don't get me wrong, I love the dude and wish he was coming here...as an analyst. He is way too old to be a position coach. I can't imagine he has the energy for the modern recruiting grind. With all due respect and deference to the septuagenarians on this board, of course. But dude should be playing golf and chasing grand kids, not convincing 18-year-olds to move to Tucson.
  4. Fuck them regarded corndog motherfuckers. They're almost as bad as Aggies.
  5. Yes - this is well put and closer to the point I was trying to convey. It's not that these teams will hate us more than anyone else, but they will hate us. They will all be just as motivated as OSU, ISU, or KSU ever were.
  6. Honest question - why? It seems like the team has steadily improved every season as the personnel has improved and become more experienced with the system. I haven't seen any evidence that Sark calling the plays has been holding us back. I get that it can be frustrating to watch us run the same plays that aren't working over and over (ahem TCU in 2022), but are we sure that's on Sark? It seems like the problem in the past has been with execution, not playcalling. This season the players executed better and we made the CFP. If the guys execute even better next year, why can't we look like Bama in 2020? I guess that's my long-winded way of saying if it ain't broke...
  7. I get it. Y'all aren't wrong. I just really liked his tape. I think he is super underrated and is going to be a monster wherever he ends up.
  8. I was mostly joking with that post, but reminded me about something. It is strange to me that everyone assumes we won't have a target on our back in the SEC like we did in the Big 12. I'm not sure I can get on board with that notion. I lived for a big part of my life in the southeast. Those people fucking hate Texas (the state) and Texans. More than A&M ever could, we represent the state of Texas and those fans will absolutely be out for blood. That is on top of not wanting the embarrassment of losing to one of the new teams from the inferior Big 12. We will 100% still be a jihad game for almost every SEC program we play. Tennessee won't hate us like they hate Bama, nor will Georgia hate us the way they hate Florida. But they will still hate us. And that's a good thing. Fuck those schools and those fans. We're Texas. But don't think for a second that they won't play their best game against us.
  9. Can we post a few from this season?
  10. I don't disagree with most of this, but I think DE will be much better. Sorrell is coming back and Burke will have another year under his belt. Simmons in the room will raise the floor considerably and provide motivation to the veterans. I think DBs probably improve as well. Our most talented players (Williams, Brooks, Muhammad) were young this year and more experience will make a huge difference. Barron coming back is also a huge boon - I assumed he was headed to the NFL. I know he didn't close the year out strong, but he was pretty dinged up and was playing because we didn't have anyone behind him who was worth a damn. Him coming in and playing hurt against Houston probably saved that game.
  11. My brain: "People have short memories and love binary thinking. They forget we had extremely close games against weak competition, and start to think every win was a blowout. I'll never be comfortable until the game is over." My balls: "The SEC is scurred. Undefeated is on the table."
  12. I gotta stop coming back to this thread. You crotchety bastards are terrible for my mental health.
