So…pretty much the same, I guess.

Agree.  However, I’ll always wonder what would have happened if we had started Casey in that game.  

[markstanco 12,509]

I feel good about the team and Sark based on how we’ve bounced back, but Arkansas still kicked our teeth in and embarrassed us pretty badly on national tv. Even if they end up running the table, that loss still sucked and we should be pissed about it.

100%. Gonna lose a few more games, because that is what happens with a new coach. He’s new because the last one sucked. But this board will lose their shit because that is what we do. It’s shocking here when tom Herman or sark or strong comes in here and doesn’t win 11 games in year one.

However, sark seems to be on the right track. No dumbass coin flip issues (Jesus that was embarrassing) or mocking a college kid with a backpack.

  Both you guys are a beating. You guys go read the last offerings by your favorite $9.95ers and then come back here and regurgitate it on the board. You tell me I don't know about football when its pretty clear you don't understand how constraint plays work. I never said we can't run outside. I said its not a good idea to base your run game off of it. I said OZ doesn't offer a lot of options in the RPO or play action dept, and too often your QB is exposed on the backside while your line is trying to carry out the fake. You saw that play out when Casey got hit and the ball got intercepted while we tried to run counter action. OZ offers the same straight alleyways to your QB. A lot of really smart offensive minds use IZ as a base for a reason. But you two guys, sitting at home on your couches, are better at drawing up plays than guys who've been doing it at the highest level for decades. Got it.

I believe this team is good enough to win the rest of the games on the schedule. The Thompson kid is making everyone look better. He has poise, and the bright lights don’t seem to bother him. If possible I would like another crack at arky.

We'll see.  Our secondary is porous enough to lose to the 3 State U.s, OU, WVU and Baylor.  At this point, I'd guess 8-4 or 9-3 but hold out hope for better.

Ah, so the guy starting a thread telling people to apologize can’t admit he was dead wrong about shifting the offensive running identity from IZ to OZ? Got it. 
 

This has nothing to do with what 9.95ers say. It’s obvious IZ would be more ideal and offers more options if your team can block it well. It’s been clear dating back to last year that our OL and personnel can’t, but they can block OZ so any good coach should adapt to that. It took them a few games, but Sark/Flood have. It’s hilarious you still can’t admit that. 

[CurlyDumps 4,440]

By the way, OP is the same guy who vigorously defended Charlie Strong for about a year and a half on the USF thread, then mysteriously disappeared…riiiight around the time the fightin’ Charlies lost to Wisconsin 49-0 at home to begin year three.
 

Don’t recall him ever coming back to eat crow there.

  "It took them a few games". We played 2. Rice and Tech, two team perfect to run OZ against. We are big and physical enough to block IZ. You also obviously don't know what happens when you run OZ vs an athletic front 7. I will continue to watch you ride this rollercoaster of emotions you always do.

Wait, so let me get this straight...because arky beat aggy, you started a post to point out that UT is just as shitty as aggy? Or slightly shittier than aggy? Or aggy and UT are both shittier than arky? Or what kind of moral victory quality loss bullshit are you getting at here?

   We were as shitty as Aggy with Card starting, yes. We are not as shitty as Aggy with Casey starting, no. Shaggy has a tendency to overreact wildly to each game. We won game one. "Oh we are so great! Sark is the man for us!". Got run over by Piggie. Same posters. "Oh no we made a mistake with our coaching hire. They have no clue what they are doing!". Let the shit play out and wash the sand out of your vaginas.

Wait...OP is using Arky beating A&M--a team that literally everyone knew was overrated as fuck before having to resort to our god-awful backup--as some sort of proof that Arkansas is really good? To make y'all's loss not seem that bad?

Wut?

Arkansas, just like pretty much everyone in the SEC not named Alabama, is a middling, mediocre team with a limited offense.

   Strong had his issues we all know that. My defense of Strong was in reference to firing him in favor of an unproven guy who was bringing a low scoring offense to the big12. At the time the whole board was raving about the idea we would offer Herman, and I was totally against it. But typical Surly we forget the whole premise of the argument and only cherry pick the defense of Strong. People even accused me of defending him because he was Black. There were jokes about how dumb he was, and people were raving about Herman being Mensa. But here we are in 2021 and I was dead right about Herman. He turned out to be absolute trash, but no one ever came to get their plate of crow. Now as trash as Herman was imagine him without Ehlinger. Imagine him with Swoopes and Shane. Herman turned out to be no better just with a better QB. We wasted millions for no reason.

   The whole point of the thread is just that. Let it play out. That's what I said after we got our asses kicked and that's what I say now. People were losing their minds about the PK gameplan of staying in 2 deep against. I said maybe PK knows something we don't know. Well the Ags tried to load up against the run and it turns out that motherfucker can throw the ball just fine. It also turns out the last thing you want to do is have Treylon Burks singled up on the outside. Bottom line, IT IS way too early to make judgements about Sark. That's exactly what I am talking about. People were bringing out the noose in game two of the man's tenure. Let it play out.

As an neutral Arkansas fan observer its pretty obvious Card is not the guy.  You wouldn't have won, but our game would have been a contest going into the 4th if Thompson started.  When you come to the SEC you have to address the LOS feel free to down vote but it is true. That is the only thing holding you back.  You either have to have a legend at QB or control the line. That is the only way to win on consistent basis because even the mediocre Kentucky types of the world have great Olines with good enough defenses to win football games. Shouldnt be an issue with the recruits you have access to.  I imagine Sark knows this.

Look, we got blown out in our second game under Sark by a team that went 3-7 last year.  Of course there was some "shit, here we go again."  Now, is Piggy better than we thought?  Maybe.  Or maybe aggy with Calzada is just dogshit.

And we do look to be improving week to week, especially with Casey at QB.  So posters have the right to re-evaluate their impression of the team and/or Sark from week to week.  That's how the first season is going to go with every new coach we ever have, but especially with the recent flop hires.  Fun fact: you can be really critical of a performance and still be in the team's corner.

And posters absolutely have the right to expect 10-win seasons at Texas and to bitch when we're not getting them. 

Cliff Notes: stick your self-righteous rant up your poophole.

Many of us predicted this exact scenario after the Arkansas debacle--we would beat shitty Rice/Tech teams, and people would immediately drink the koolaid. If we win the next two I might have a small sip, but as of now nothing has changed.

motherhumping this.

and why is this take heresy?  have we not seen enough of this in the last 10 years?  in soccer the term is "flatter to deceive".   we look fucking great and yesterday was 1000% better than i ever thought possible and it doesn't change a fucking thing.

bellmont has a habit of reading it's own press clippings and whether anyone wants to believe it or not the koolaid around here is frequently brewed in inverse proportion to the performance the following saturday.  that's been the pattern since colt went down.

what i liked the most about yesterday is that we did confirm that sark is chill, win or lose, and has the long game.  it is now safe to say he is not trolling us.

what i liked 2nd most about yesterday was the execution and the obvious improvement in the lines over the last 3 weeks.  that's coaching.  and it proves sark's hires are money.

and none of that changes the exact scenario we are in - too much instant masturbation over crushing shitty teams.

in the fog of last night i saw someone post "possibly the best offense in the country".  BLASPHEMER!  STOP THAT SHIT!  do not bait the football gods.
