  1. ESPN SP+ power ratings had UNT as ~3 pt favorite over Texas on a neutral field. This whole sport is a fucking joke.
  2. You would think that between Barnes and Atkinson, both guys who were considered by some to be the top LBs in their class, you have at least one guy who can credibly spell the starters. If Brad Spence is coming back, he could give you snaps in a pinch. Based on what I saw from him this year, he may be an improvement on the Trey Moore LB snaps. Tend to agree with you that we'd ideally bring in one guy with proven ability in a year where we need to make noise.
  3. I’m trying to relay your thoughts to the staff but I’m afraid it might be too late.
  4. That QB was really good at the "fuck it Kohen down there somewhere" throw. He's not DK Moore by any stretch, but he looks like a guy who could produce for us a few years down the line.
  5. This is flat out wrong. He's had some terrible moments, but he is at worst the 2nd best receiver on the team. Moore and Livingstone are fine players, but not difference makers. There's not another receiver on the team that could do what Wingo did in back to back weeks against MSU and Vandy.
  6. My bad, I read too quickly and thought you were talking about Cam Coleman. You're absolutely right.
  7. He's currently a sophomore, so he's a lock to not enter the draft.
  8. Interestingly, from The Athletic's draft guys today: "Another of the standout performers for the Longhorns came from senior defensive end Ethan Burke, who made plays on defense and special teams. Though not a high-level athlete, the Austin, Texas, native plays physical at the point of attack and isn’t shy about sticking his nose into the fire. Considered a borderline draft pick entering the season, Burke has built a strong case to hear his name on Day 3, thanks to tapes like the Texas A&M and Vanderbilt games."
  9. What about those two guys makes you say this?
  10. Yes, and even if you go based off pure resume, we have a road loss against the #1 team, they have a home loss against a top 5 team. Road loss to Florida is worse than road loss to Miami, but not by as much as it seemed early in the season. Our wins over OU and Vandy are better than USC and I guess Arkansas? It's all moot because if we win out we will absolutely be ahead of them and if we lose one more we will be behind them.
  11. I don't put much stock in what Taaffe says. Love the guy, but he's essentially a PR rep for the program.
  12. There's no way he plays if he's not cleared by the doctors. Then it's up to him and the family.
  13. Should’ve known better than to open this thread. Arch was fucking awesome in the second half and that fucking ruled. If you didn’t enjoy that or think otherwise get fucked.
  14. I think if we go 9-3, it will likely come down to whether our offense improved down the stretch. If we win a bunch of 17-13 games and our offense continues to play they all met each other 15 minutes before the game, I think there will be end up being enough teams with comparable resumes that we'd get left out on optics. The good news is, we are not going 9-3 and we will probably wake up feeling the cheesiest some time in December.
  15. If Colin Page takes a meaningful snap this year I will live stream my suicide on this forum
  16. Santa Margarita (coached by Carson Palmer) beats Mater Dei 7-6. Mater Dei’s first loss to another Orange County team since 2015. Some slight cracks forming in the MD dynasty. Emmett Mosley’s brother scored the lone touchdown. Pretty nice player.
  17. I'm all for shitting on this staff, but who were the better IDL options in the portal, other than Lee Hunter? When you're filling up that position group with 5-6 guys from the portal, you're bound to get some JAGs. I think the bigger failure is that January is the only playable homegrown player on the roster. That is insane.
  18. Our OL has problem areas, such as pass blocking, run blocking, holding and pre-snap penalties.
  19. I don't know, I think the biggest issue with the Texas football team is that our offensive line wouldn't pass for average in the Mountain West Conference.
  20. The negativity about the coaching staff is dumb? Personnel decisions are made by the coaching staff. They chose to roll with these offensive line and running back rooms, while numerous other teams hit the portal hard at those positions. The players are getting their fair share of blame, but at a certain point drive killing penalties and special teams disasters is on the coaches. This isn't the first year where this was an issue, this is just the first year where we don't have players capable of making massive numerous explosive plays to negate the inability to consistently move the ball. Sark and staff are working with the same resources as Ohio State, Oregon and Georgia and this is Year 5. There's no excuse for the team be this bad.
  21. I assumed Kyle Flood knew better than me when he and Sark would repeatedly hype up the BIG HUMAN thing while signing giant cubes with ankles the size of a cinder block but it appears he absolutely did not. The guy should be gone. I think the writing is on the wall with Sark too. His teams have been as undisciplined as any in the country for his entire tenure, but he had the talent to overcome it the past two years. I don’t think he should be fired, but I expect he will be within 2-3 years.
  22. Definitely a real concern going into the Swamp after... 3 G5 games and a bye week.
  23. That's not really how it works at all, but I think it's probably smart to get all your crowing out before OU plays a team with a pulse.
  24. Anthony Hill had 8 sacks, 19 TFLs and was First Team All SEC last year. Colin Simmons had 9 sacks and 17 TFLs last year and was the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year. Worth noting that they combined for 2 sacks, 6 TFLs and a forced fumble against OU last year. Is your contention that they've both gotten significantly worse based on box score reading from primarily meaningless games so far this year?
