I think of those two Ohio State games, the semi final one we held them to 21, hell 14 if Guilbeau didn't take a poor angle on the screen that went to the house before half. But even then, the D held them to 21 and gave the O a chance to win the game, which they then fumbled it away and gave up a TD. The following year with a lot of replacements, they hold them to 14 points and give the O the whole game to score any points for the win, they can't do anything until late in the game. I understand the arguments against PK, because I have my own gripes against him but for Sark's talk about complimentary football he sure struggles on his own side a lot lol.

Thank you! Another person who watches the games. If Sark’s offense was anywhere near our defense we have a natty. Hopefully this is the year

I was being sarcastic, I always forget that doesn't come across well in text format lol.

If he didn't want PK, why did he keep him around for so long? Nansen was a DC, he could've changed it up then. Don't get me wrong, I get where you're coming from with your opinion but it just seems like a weird situation. Definitely didn't feel like Sark and PK parted on good terms. But I don't think Flood deserves a pass because he's Sark's guy or whatever. If they underperform again, he's gotta go. Can't set a precedent with PK and keep Flood around (assuming his unit struggles again). You made some good points though - thank you.

I realize Choate's time frame. My bad, I was not as clear as I could have been. But I never said Choate was there in 2024, just that our LB play suffered without Choate. Choate and PK had a history and understanding which allowed them to work together better than PK and Nansen. Yes the offense was the main problem in 2010. Call the 2010 D what you will but.... Yes there was a defensive drop-off from 2009 to 2010 and it was not just the offense. 2.2 yds per rush allowed in 2009 vs 3.5 yds per rush allowed in 2010 3.8 yds per play allowed in 2009 vs 4.6 yds per play allowed in 2009 16.7 ppg allowed (12th in FBS) 2009 vs 23.7 ppg allowed (49th in FBS) 2010. Texas lost 4 2009 defensive starters (36% of starters lost to the NFL). 2010 NFL draft: IDL/Edge/LB Lamaar Houston, DE/Edge/LB Sergio Kindle, Safety Earl Thomas and MLB Rod Muckelroy Texas talent drop-off with 2010 starters and contributors- DT Tyrell Higgins, Edge/LB Dravanti Johnson, MLB Dustin Earnest, Safety Christian Scott. (19 starts and 47 games played). These 4 were not drafted or NFL players. We had better defensive talent in 2009 than 2010.

Sark certainly doesn’t have any excuses not to have potent offense this season. I fully expect to see a significant jump in consistency and production.

We were down two safeties, a 3rd was banged up. Pretty sure a CB was banged up too. Vandy was the #1 OFEI team. They were #56 in DFEI. # 1 FPI offense. #54 FPI defense. Surprise, the #1 scored points against a depleted defense. Disappointing, the offense could not finish 1 drive in the 4th against a middle of the road defense. Since Sarks arrival the offense has struggled to finish. Ohio State, Kentucky, Vandy last year. There have been FGs to tie or take the lead when first downs or TDs finish the game. The opportunity was there versus Vandy. It didn’t happen.

This kid is good...I think he's trolling half the SEC right now...he must be having a blast...remember that no matter WHAT he says, this is STILL gonna go to signing day, lol! I think we should all sit back and watch this senior in high school strut his stuff. This is top shelf marketing. Enjoy the show...

He is about to turn 17 not 18 I believe. Just imagine all the things he and his family are dealing with. I wish him the best whatever happens, whether he announces anything or not soon. In my opinion it is not about $ , because he will get that period. Starting Aug 1 he can get paid. What does his heart want ? Can live with that whoever he chooses. He is having fun on social media . Why not enjoy ? Has a top notch agent, so it will be handled with class for sure. But would be nice to see LSU fans melt if he reaffirms Texas.

Agreed, the season playing out will be crucial on his decision and happy birthday to him and congratulations to the young man regardless.

I’d be surprised if doesn’t flip

Imma wait for Bobby and Gerry and Hank Jordan etc to tell me what’s up.

A couple things: 1) Choate wasn't here in 2024...that was Nansen's first year here. 2) 2010 defense was elite but their performance dropped off because of the complete garbage that was the Texas offense that year constantly sending them back out on the field and giving them nothing.

Flood gets a pass because a) He is Sark's guy b) Sark always wanted him on staff and c) Sark might be the reason Flood didn't have the personnel necessary so he might take the blame for that. Sark always wanted Muschamp and didn't want PK as DC. Why do you think PK was the last defensive hire of Sark's initial staff when its usually the other way around? The struggle of last year plus Muschamp being available is what led to the dismissal.

There is NO announcement ceremony scheduled.

same, but just bought the new collectable trilogy books and wanted to feel young again . 😄 Apoloigies for off topic

Sorry, seems weird that someone would have an announcement ceremony to commit to school you have been committed to for almost a year. Hope to hell I am wrong. Would not be first time.

I haven’t done a reread of Dragonlance in 30+ years, but I loved the series. I’ve used the handle since the old 360 board days.

1st match August 22nd vs ASU in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Tournament

Noticed your username. Loved the series and might do a reread soon. One of my all-time favorite characters. Just ignore me if you have no idea what I am talking about

This is where people don’t understand. The defense held Vandy to 10 pts all game and gave the Longhorns short fields to score. Yes they should’ve been better in the 4th but they stupidly went into prevent, had some bad calls against them and injuries. If the offense scores one touchdown in the 4th we’re not talking about the defense. Sark goes halves all the time without scoring. That’s the bigger problem to me.

Or not
