Ok, it’s been addressed by basically everyone so can we stop talking about it now? Mistakes were made and have now been addressed so it should be a done deal.

The money definitely chimed in

Was it a dumb penalty? Absolutely. Should it be anything more than “that’s not who we are and we’ll handle it internally”? Absolutely not. CDC breathing more life into the story when the media was finally letting it go

You act like this has been going on all of 6 years 🙄 of Sark’s tenure. It was handled properly and it's over with.

Kinda how I feel. Was definitely being sarcastic saying the 5.5 sacks allows him to act like this. But I am interested at THIS causing such grief amongst the hire ups yet a lot of these other “distractions” haven’t garnered much attention. think it’s time some of these higher ups get offended at the lack of offensive cohesiveness with all the money they shelled out this offseason

How do you know they're not pissed about Nansen?

Because 7 million people didn’t watch the drunk driving on TV. Some things can be swept under the rug, some can’t.

Wonder why the higher ups are more pissed at two 20 year olds celebrating immaturely than a 50 year old endangering innocent people driving drunk?

I have some doubt about Illinois too. Guards are most important in cbb and I'm not sure about their lead guard play. Not saying they'll be bad or anything, I just wonder if it limits their ceiling.

Because its their actual heights and you don't have to wonder who's got thicker heels, soles, etc boosting their actual height.

Year 6 and the AD is having to make this statement 😬

It’s not the kids fault if he wants to go to a school that can get him the ball. We haven’t shown the ability to showcase a receiver like this’s talent. Hopefully it will get better, but so far Sark has played with his food too much on offense.

I think he's a good player but let's be honest. Outside of Worthy and possibly Wingo, what other HS WR has Sark utilized and developed? All of his better WR's were transfer portal guys. So maybe it's jsut better to get some developmental guys and hit the portal for a top end guy or two. I'm more worried about the hit rate at TE and RB. Sanders and Helm were good TE's for the most part but ever since them, it's been really rocky. Same with the Bijan, Rojo, Brooks trio after them it was shaky, too. Just my opinion. Either way, Royal will make his decision. We'll either be happy about it or look elsewhere. That's just recruiting these days. You can't get as invested in it, because it's all NIL these days (mostly).

Pass. There’s a dude or 2 that’ll want to be here and have talent via HS or portal. Him still considering kiffin alone ends it for me. lots o clouds tonight, lol

Sad if that’s true. Hoping cdc and sark simply value very basic respect and decency. Though, a few minutes later they were mugging with cigars in a tweet from a coach. Actions speak far louder than any prepped words. They are your responsibility, not friends. It’s a very fine line that they need to clearly differentiate. Shouldn’t need cigars, ill thought out celebrations, etc to have fun. The concern is Colin has long done things like over chirping or purposely bumping people unnecessarily, etc. Just make plays and others will hoist you up.

Agree with you Gerry, I had the same feeling and hope the young men get fined so they feel it and become proud to represent Texas like all of us are! Hook'em Horns and hope this is all behind us now.

And thank goodness there are still some people left in the world in places of authority with enough gumption and pride for our institution to feel shame and remorse for when people don't live up to the standard and expectations.

For this statement to be made the way it was… some higher ups around UT must have been extremely pissed IMO

I’m not sure what one would consider a meaningful snap of football. If you like share a little more insight into the meaningful snaps you’ve played. Does that start at the college level?

I heard people including @CJ Vogel saying Colin got snubbed on defensive player of the week. He rightfully didn’t earn it by his one action. I do credit him for playing the rest of the game under control. But you don’t get that reward when you do that. Learn from it and get better big fella!🤘

This nails it, and shows why the team still makes a ton of penalties. There’s no discipline.

While those stats tell a story, watching the actual game tells another. I’ve watched the tape at least 4 times now along with watching ball knowers like Film guy and Landon Tengwall, all agreeing that the constantly collapsing pocket and continuous pressure greatly affect the QBs ability to make the to made decisions. If you’ve played a meaningful snap of football , then you would know how those two factors affect your game. On top of that, I’m not even sure those statistics are remotely correct either. What, are they sitting there and calculating every single football game? Lastly, Watching the game back doesn’t tell me Faizon Brandon played bad. The tape tells me his offensive line was trash, he got hurt on a designed run, and was rattled the rest of the game. Give our defense credit, they made plays all day. PFF also rated the Tennessee Dline higher than Texas

I'm not sure this is about a total lack of discipline. It was stupid and misguided. But Colin Simmons has been nothing but a great example to Longhorn Nation up until this point. The question now is: how does he respond? Then we can get into character questions. It was stupid. Colin Simmons is 20 years old. He will learn and grow and be fine.

Thanks Del Conte - I agree 100%. This ain’t just a standard celebration penalty. I wonder what DKR would do?

Crazy
