Georgia was a different animal. The 4th and 1 from their 35 was huge. Then the 4th and 5 from around the 50. Then TD and subsequent onsides. Brilliant coaching on Kirby’s part. None of those were no brainer decisions. Yes, we likely needed some recovery physically but emotionally our spirit was taken too when they got that recovery. We still had a fighting chance had we recovered it. We were never composed after that. You’re right. Very demoralizing.

Sark’s offenses are at their best when they’re highly efficient on first down. I know that sounds simple, but in ‘23 and ‘24, Texas was one of the best offenses in the country at the percentage of first downs gained on first and second down. Sometimes, Sark’s best third-down offense is to avoid those situations.

No doubt. I'm not Texas to really dominate the time of possession battle, but it sure would be nice for a more consistent approach to the complementary style of football Sarkisian consistently preaches about to show up on a week to week. No more Kentucky/Florida type games with this roster should be possible.

Maybe literally the only one.

The Georgia game is the one where it stood out to me. It was 14-10 when Texas kicked off after the Arch-to-Wingo touchdown and the Longhorns had a plus-6 edge in play differential. The next time the offense had the ball, it was 28-10 and Georgia had a plus-13 edge in play differential because of the 10-play touchdown drive where they converted a fourth down and moved the chains on a fourth-down penalty by Texas, the onside kick and then a nine-play touchdown drive. Georgia never faced third down on the drive after recovering the onside kick. For the defense to give up a long drive and then have to go right back out, it was demoralizing.

A student from Texas A&M, a student from The University of Texas, and a pig were in the hospital waiting room, each awaiting the birth of his firstborn. Suddenly, the lights went out. Fortunately, power was restored shortly thereafter and the head nurse made her way to the waiting room. "Good news and bad news, gentlemen and pig," she announced. "Despite the electrical outage, two healthy young boys and one healthy piglet have been delivered. "However, since the lights went out at the most inopportune time, we aren't sure which firstborn belongs to whom. The only way we know to resolve the problem is to draw straws and have the winner choose first." The three proud papas agreed, and the Longhorn won the drawing. He was escorted into the delivery room and looked at the three newborns for a painstakingly long time. Finally, with head bowed, he scooped up the piglet and headed for the door. "Sir, are you quite certain that you've made the right choice?" the nurse asked. "No, I'm not," replied the Longhorn. "But I just couldn't take the chance of choosing the Aggie."

An aggie went to a drug store to buy a box of condoms. He asked the clerk, “How much are they?” The clerk replied, “$10.99 plus tax.” The aggie, looking more confused than usual, replied, “I have to use tacks to keep them on?”

I get the praise for Becton so it was the discredit to PK to which I didn’t agree. There have been discussions about our defense being on the field too much and being tired. I’d wager we rotate more players than most. This discussion is good because it’s about the number of plays rather than TOP. A note on snaps. For example Ole Miss had one Dlineman average 51 snaps a game. Another was 46. Kanu averaged 36, January 34. Now the Kentucky and MSU games were the highest. The weather at UK was good so that was not an energy draining type game. Go back a decade ago when many teams ran 80+ plays a game and ask how they feel about only playing 60 or fewer snaps per game. Ultimately the snaps discrepancy was two games. One we created separation. Then there was Kentucky. Even at the last possession of regulation, the offense had a great chance to end it. Kentucky was definitely a challenge but one game does not make a trend.

This guy walks into a bar and orders a drink. As the bartender serves the drink, the guy asks, "Hey, I heard a good Aggie joke the other day. Do you want to hear it?" The bartender says, "Well before you tell it, I should warn you that I'm an Aggie. See those two guys at the end of the bar? They're Aggies. And see those guys over at that table. They're Aggies too. Are you sure you want to tell that joke?" The guy replied, "Hell no! I don't want to explain it five times..."

Tremendous report.

Cuban is involved.

I don't get why it's always traffic violations. Take a damn Lyft!

OTF with the goods as always. Y'all always seem to outpace the competition with the TRUE scoop! Great stuff Hank!

I was speaking in general about how bend but dont break keeps your cold offense from getting warm and also keeping your defense on the field longer. Becton is key because our guys were not gassed in the 4th quarter which resulted, if you recall, in a number of goalline stands to prevent touchdowns. If your defensive line is gassed—even with the depth we have—we lose some of those games That is why I am praising Becton

Exactly Dawson , It wouldn’t surprise me at all you would see Bookie businesses sponsoring Bowl games in the near future. I’ve stated my thoughts on College sports gambling. No need to rehash it . But it’s bad , and getting worse.

I’d rather click on a link to a Russian or Nigerian scam than a video of that dumba$$

Did you hear about the Aggie elevator operator? It took him 3 weeks to learn the route!

Did you hear A&M just took delivery of 1000 septic tanks? As soon as they figure out how to drive them, they are invading UT. Did you hear about the Aggie whose wife gave birth to triplets? When he heard the news, he grabbed his double barrel shotgun and took off to go find the other two guys. Did you hear about the Aggie that learned to count to 21? He was arrested for indecent exposure.

Kirby should probably keep his mouth shut next season with regard to culture.

I hope he's around at 25 for the Lakers. They need athletic wings.

Would be happy to be wrong! I've been thinking more 17-18 tops, and 21-26 more likely

I've seen Swain mocked at 11, 13 and 14 now. He's definitely moving on up.

I thought this was your meme, Joseph!
