9.27.21 Coach Sark press conference 11am

[bigup2dahorns 3,343]

On LHN, Austin radio and www.texassports.com

Offense goes wild, defense work in progress, two weeks in a row of NOT PUNTING (first time ever)

Horns crush Tech 70-35 and move to 3-1. Next up:

You look at TCU over there and it's just all about the tradition of Gary Patterson's shirt being drenched in sweat even if it's 5 below outside.

Back row, 3rd from the right.  Kind of a dirtier, bustier, younger Parker Posey thing going on.  And then of course front row, far left for that wholesome look.  

What are we talking about?  Oh yeah, defense still has serious question marks and we're already 1/3rd through the season.  I knew we'd be porous but this is looking downright ugly.

Hope we get up for TCU.  It's not the OKL or ARK rivalry, but they have our number dialed in and we're fucking tired of it. 3-7 in our last 10 games with then (since the breakup of the SWC).  5 of those losses by double-digits, 4 by over two touchdowns.  Many of those ugly losses coming when the current roster was playing organized ball in middle school/high school.  They remember.  We remember.  Pepperidge Farms remembers.

When I see the "Stunt on these hoes." pic this is the game I was thinking about. Let's bring a case of RAID with us and slept these roaches. 🤘

FWIW---Matt Sarz seems to think OKL game will be announced later today as a 2:30p kickoff on ESPN.  Or it may also be held back as the networks' first use of the 6-day window option.

OU time should be announced today right? 

[mdmost 43,330]

Yeah, the game being on ESPN is a wildcard. Will be interesting to see if ESPN wants to test how Texas OU does head to head against the SEC CBS game which is Georgia-Auburn.

I assume that's who "OKL" is.

I don't like it when people speak of an event time in their own timezone.  They should be talking about it in the timezone in which it is occurring.  /firstworldproblems

I thought so too, but it's much further out.

Just now, Red Five said:

OKL=Oklahoma 

OSU=Oklahoma State

BAY=Baylor 

TEX=Texas

TTU=Texas Tech 

TCU=Texas Christian 

WVU=West Virginia (appropriate since unlike OKL and KAN, their official school name is actually the West Virginia University, not the University of West Virginia)

KAN=Kansas

KSU=Kansas State 

ISU=Iowa State 

sorry for being so bizarre, but I thought these three letter initials for BIg XII schools have been pretty well esablished for 25 years.t

After 35 years of fine-tuning, I've finally gotten our 11 AM kickoff routine down pat....including mixing up enough Bloody Mary's to for the DART train from Parker Road, and making it on the first train that leaves....so I'm not all in on this "2:30 is better" bullshit.

Most TV people solely use Eastern time, especially with CFB which has such set timeslots, to make talking about it easier.

[Guest Lobo]

I used to get a kick out of it as a kid when the TV announcer would say the show name and then say "Wednesdays, 9/8 central."  We were the only one of the 6 U.S. timezones that got a shout-out.  But yeah, I get why East Coast broadcasters quote sports time in ET.   

Here's hoping it's a 2:30p.  

As my friend Kramer once said before chugging a beer, "Here's to feeling good.  All the Central Time."  

[Red Five 41,114]

I don't like 30 minute lines everywhere at the fair three hours before kick, which is what you get with a 2:30 kickoff. There are zero lines anywhere at 8:00 with an 11:00 kick. I guess the solution is to get there at 8 no matter the kick time. 

[Js1 85,909]

Team #Fuck2:30Kickoff for the OU game.  No.

Big 12 confirms - 11am ABC for OU.

[ClubWhatever 12,168]

Second row third from right.  With back row third from right.  

[mdmost 43,330]

Careful guys or that one guy is going to get pissy that we're talking about what time a future game is going to be. 

Mark me down as liking the 11am kickoff as well. Get in, breakfast of championship, drink some more, go into the Cotton Bowl. F waiting around all day. 

[bigup2dahorns 3,343]

I’m a fan of the 11AM kick for TX/OU

[Guest Lobo]

I think 11am is more fun in person, 2:30p is better on TV.  Ah well, just killing time here until Sark comes on.  

There's a chance that Kansas is gonna be an 11am kickoff with the Gonzaga game in the afternoon.  That's a lot of early kickoffs.  KSU is one as well that's booked. 

Maybe OkieState will be a night game.  We could use a raucous atmosphere for that one.

11 AM kick is especially nice when we win, that way all the inbreds take off right after the game to drive their homes back across the border, and Horn fans get the Fair all to ourselves until nightfall.

[Huckleberry 33,669]

I'm an even bigger fan of the 11am kick after running that TV viewership analysis this offseason. The 11am time slot truly does get better viewership numbers after controlling for other variables (team, network, etc.), that's not just hot air the networks and conference blow up our skirts.

oSu is probably a Big Noon game as Fox hasn't had us yet and you know Joel and Gus love to come to Austin. Plus, if we beat OU, the whole setup with their pregame comes to town.

[Valmy77 13,455]

I really like 11AM games when we win, as then the halftime of every game the rest of the day has our highlights for other fans to enjoy.

If we lose well then my day is ruined.

Texas could be 4-2 or 5-1 and OK State could be 5-0 if they beat Baylor.  I hope Ok State is a night game for that one.

Norm will be happy that he has plenty of advanced notice of game-time.  "it's a schedule for human beings."

Shit, good point.  FOX would love to pick that one up especially if we beat Oklahoma.  I think an undefeated Top 15 Oklahoma State is also a near guarantee.  Their pregame "gameday" is a nice bonus but fuck, that's a game we need a drunk and rowdy and full DKR with the illuminated Longhorn.  Not some half-assed morning kickoff.  that's easily our most challenging home game this season, we need all the extra help.  But Big Media gonna Big Media.  Our road games are gonna probably be all night games from here on out after TCU as BAY, WVU, ISU will all very likely have winning records and quite possibly ranked.  Meanwhile, our home games are all in the morning with 1/4 of the stadium empty and mostly sober and quiet.  Real nice. 

With only three league games that weekend, I doubt FOX exercises its 6-day window so we should know our OSU game exactly 7 days from this exact moment.  Although WVU & BAY suddenly has some implications given how well both are playing as of late.

Depending on rankings,  OSU @ Texas looks like a sexy pick but so does BYU @ Baylor. 

FOX should go to Waco so they can start practicing for Big 12 marquee gamedays post-Texas/OU.

It would be nice if they would ask Sark questions which have answers we'd be interested in hearing. "Coach can you give us some random coach speak about TCU? Thanks!".
