I blame the EOT debacle on ill-informed, impressionable players and adults who knew better. The whole situation was asinine. 

I agree wholeheartedly. Nevertheless, I am glad it was formally investigated and official findings were issued that deliver the nothing burger controversy to the same fate as minstrel shows.

 This reeks of bullshit. 

And it will ultimately be bullshit until and unless Brian Jones gives us names and proof. But recent donor statements have been very ugly to say the least, so at this particular moment, I'm concerned and not quite ready to dismiss it outright. If our BMDs are serious about having a winning football team, they should be doing a lot better by setting up a bag manufacturing company and creating NIL opportunities. I just hope at the end of it all, I fell for a dirty trick by Brian Jones and if so, I will gladly eat crow.

Mike at Night: Thoughts on Devin Brown after live viewing

Mike Roach
 

— I made the trip to Utah to see four-star Draper (Utah) Corner Canyon quarterback Devin Brown. I like to see as many players in person as possible and I think it’s double important with quarterbacks. Corner Canyon faced off against Lone Peak in the state finals with revenge on their mind as Lone Peak is the only team to beat Corner Canyon in the regular season. Unfortunately, Corner Canyon fell just short despite a special performance by Brown. The four-star prospect finished 22/30 for 380 yards and four touchdowns. He also added 100 yards on the ground and a score rushing as well. During the game, he broke the record for single-season passing yards in Utah, but he will likely only remember the deflected ball that was intercepted with 2 minutes remaining.

— Brown was awesome in the first half operating with surgical precision in the passing game. He didn’t have an incompletion in the first quarter and made several big throws lighting up the scoreboard early. There’s a ton to like about Brown, and it’s no wonder schools are coming on fast for the USC commit.

— When it comes to tools, there’s no question that Brown is blessed. He’s got a big frame, but it’s still somewhat wiry and can stand to add some weight. His arm strength isn’t off the charts, but it’s good enough to get the job done for anyone. He showed the ability throughout the evening to change speeds and consistently and accurately deliver the ball to his receivers. His offense doesn’t ask a ton of him from what I can see, but he operates it with incredible precision. He’s extremely comfortable in the pocket and has a great feel for the rush. In the 4th quarter, he put the team on his back and escaped two sure sacks to convert on 3rd and 4th down.

— Brown plays with a quiet confidence. He’s not the type of overly vocal leader some quarterbacks are, but he’s not the type to shrink from it either. He has no problem doing what the game asks of him instead of forcing balls into coverage. There were a couple of times when Brown would get into a rhythm and then try to put a ball into a tight space where it was almost intercepted. For the most part, he found the open man quickly and hit him.

— When I say the offense doesn’t ask a lot of him, I mean that in the context of post-snap reads. The coaches do seem to trust him to operate with a lot of autonomy pre-snap, and he showed the ability to get them into several successful plays when he found alignments he could exploit. That tells me he’s adept at reading coverages and tendencies pre-snap. Overall, I was most impressed with how decisive he was about everything. He was decisive with his checks, his decisions to run, and his pass reads. He’s advanced technically for his age, but he still has room to develop.

— As a runner, he won’t keep anyone’s defense up at night, but he was effective with his legs. He’s the type of guy who will escape the pocket vertically and pick up 4-5 yards instead of taking a loss. He also had a few designed runs inside the 10-yard line where he succeeded with some toughness and physicality. Overall, if you want to find negatives from this department, it would be extreme nitpicking. There are probably some mechanical things to shape up, but he had an incredibly impressive performance against the top competition in the state.

— As for his recruitment, there’s a growing confidence Texas can land him after his official visit to Austin. I think he sees himself as a fit in Steve Sarkisian’s offense and sees an opportunity to enroll in the spring and play immediately. In fact, a source familiar with his recruitment believes that if he does make the flip, it would be to Texas as of now. Brown will head to Columbus to see Ohio State this weekend, so that situation should be monitored. Ole Miss is also factoring in and Notre Dame is trying to get into the mix. Still, I feel that after his visit to Ohio State, the picture might get clear enough to start narrowing it down and making some predictions. I didn’t get to talk to him tonight after the loss, but I should be connecting sometime next week.

We lost an off the ball LB Cook. Who felt his talent wasn't being used. 

Luke B playing has had a lot of folks wondering. Especially how  Ford and Mo B has come on. 

You ask what kinda leverage boosters could bring to bear to move Sark?

I think thatd move the needle. And it fits the narrative 

[futureman 22,565]

I think donors are absolutely pushing sark to start players based on race. it explains why imade is taking snaps from conner and also why kai money has barely seen the field. and where had sawyer goram-welch been this year? he’s been a ghost. the donors are indeed racist and sark is a pawn.

Everybody loves Jones 'cause he's not like Manny and then he says something like this and y'all turn on him....Anthony Curl wasn't even as good as Acho, lol. 

Why do y'all not believe that we might have some racist-ass boosters trying to call the shots? We should be doing our best to cut them out of the program instead of shooting the messenger. 

Jeffrey McCulloch said basically the same thing on this site's podcast in the pre-season....He didn't explicitly say it was racial....But it was racial. He said there were some dudes who were going to play ahead of better players because....reasons.

We are letting senile old farts run this program into the ground and blaming it on those who expose it will just keep us circling the drain forever.

100%. I believe  mentioned “schools”. It pretty hard to say that boosters want white players to start and they are influencing a line up that starts 80% black players. Either it’s BS or their influence isn’t very effective #mathishard

The guy who told Jones that bullshit is the father of a player who will not be on the team next year, both the father and the kid know this. This is a player who has been competing with a player of the opposite race for playing time, especially in the last few games. The father has not historically been a fan of Texas until his kid played here. I will be very happy to see both of them gone from the program. This player has been vocal in the locker room about transferring if he doesnt keep the starting job. Donors had inquired why the guy this player is competing against hasnt been getting a shot, but only in a curious way, not in a "we want this to happen" way. The idea that the inquiry was about race or that race was referenced in conjunction with ANYONE demanding that the coaches make certain personnel decisions is completely ridiculous. 

I dont doubt that Brian Jones was told what he reported, but I cannot believe he went public with it like he did considering its the word of a disgruntled parent whose son has had a tough year. If I'm Sark, I'd be done with Jones in a big way.

Sounds like a linebacker or safety backup lol

 

[HateYouAndMyself 828]

Jones is an attention seeking fuckwit and this behavior by him is despicable. "I don't want to be a detriment to the program"...      but instead of waiting just one more fucking week till the season is over I'm going to lob this grenade into the coach's laps. When they are trying to keep the trust and focus of these kids? Not to mention doing it just a few weeks before early signing period. You already have a fuck ton of recruits, including some of our biggest targets, a bit wary of the EOT and other bullshit chatter. Now you validate those concerns with this vague accusation and give every rival coach their neg recruitment wetdream. It is just pure idiocy. 

I've seen some of you suggest that perhaps this was being done at the behest of coaches or others within the program who've tried to get things to change but failed..   that doesn't make any sense. It is the timing. There is just no fucking way anyone whose career actually is staked on Texas succeeding would ever want it to come out in this haphazard a way or to come out now. If this had been leaked to The Athletic or some other credible journalists in late February, along with a call to action and demands being made of our university leadership to excise those involved... then yeah. Sure. But the way this was handled? Hell no. In the very least you take it up the ladder to CDC, Hartzell and others first and force them to take a stance. If they then handle the situation and remove all access from the BMDs involved... great. No need for a scandal. If not then you can put them on blast also and remove obstacles to supposedly needed change.

This was an orchestrated hit by someone manipulating the fact that Jones is too fucking stupid to keep his mouth shut nor capable of releasing information like this in a way or at a time that would not simply immolate the program. What an absolute dipshit. 

 

 

[ClubWhatever 12,161]

Yeah it’s  pretty transparent who that is.  Hope Sark has a player lined up in the portal for that position.

tbh if the program wants to turn the page it needs to shun people like that and distance itself publicly.

BJ Foster. Or linebacker 

[SarkAfterDark 1,702]

Man some of you are bad at this. What was posted pretty much narrows it down to guys competing with Schooler or Brockermeyer. So it’s either Thompson or Ford. Answer seems obvious to me.

Schooler and Brockermeyer have been getting plenty of shots so I find this unlikely. If donors have been inquiring about them in any way then that would be fucking weird. 

[HateYouAndMyself 828]

I just hope our administration shows some goddamn spine for once and goes on the attack. Not directly, of course, but the identity of this player needs to be leaked as soon the season is over. Then you can have the pundits and analysts go through and post all the many reasons for which the roster changes made sense and were clearly not 'based on race'. If its Casey Thompson, for example, anyone with a sliver of rationality can understand the need to give Card one last final chance to seize the job late in the season before he inevitably entered the portal. As far as starting in the first place you have hundreds of reports out there about scrimmages and practices in which Thompson fucking blew to back up the original decision as well.

You can't do the usual "we need to stay above it all" strategy with something this damning and toxic. It has to be directly addressed, at least through proxies, and attacked. 

edit: or if god forbid it is true then obviously you need to use this situation to expose the BMDs once and for all and blacklist them. I know CDC will balk at anything that damages the money faucet but either way you have to show action on this. Can't let it be yet another ghost story about the big bad powerful racists looming in the dark behind our program. Only so much of that you can overcome and we are fucking drowning in it already.

I’d bet good money that Texas is in the bottom quartile in game starts by white players in the 2000s (among P5 teams). Hell, we may be in the bottom 10%.

Almost every team we lose to - or beat - has more white players than Texas.

Look, if the kid could learn to string together any amount of consistency he would have been named the starter ages ago. When he is on, he plays outstanding. When he is not, the offense goes 3 and out for multiple quarters at a time. Case in point, the first half vs WVU. He played like shit, granted so did his receivers.

Not sure how this information hasn’t gotten out earlier.  Hard to believe given the opportunities this player has had why so gruntled.  Injuries happen and if unable to perform of course the back up should get in.  As a parent that should be the concern your son not risking further damage.  Get the hell out of here with your cancerous attitude.  Hook’em🤘🏼
