I don't know if it was the gameplan, around the 2:44 mark, coach mentions that one of the coaches spent 2 weeks putting together a scouting report which they practiced and in the game the team, or player, didn't follow it at all, said 2 weeks worth of work out the window or something to that effect.

Floods extension makes me want to puke. How many people make that kind of money for being mediocre?

These salaries are of enhanced value compared with most competitors because Texas has no state income tax. Explain Professional Services Payments, please. Aside from his job description, what services are to be rendered? If this is simply additional salary for the same job description why is it separately denominated? Is it contingent upon some additional service being rendered? Is the source of the funding other than the Athletic Department?

Meh that’s a cop out. Toughness and heart probably didn’t crack the top 10 of reasons they lost. Horrendous defensive gameplan was far and away #1.

This reminds me of a certain Texas baseball coach, just spitting facts and owning it, but you can tell he cares about the kids and representing the university and he's passionate. Great coach.

Freshman TE Charlie Jilek will wear #88.

I'll say this, I LOVE all the ACCOUNTABILITY and LOVE VIC. Flood should watch this and see what that looks like lol. But seriously he is spitting FACTS, one of the reasons I hated NIL starting. Everything starts at give an inch and they take a mile, which now you have more divas in all college sports than ever before.

Flood and Nansen still here is amazing. My expectations are definitely lowered now. Sark has real blindspots with those two. Oh well if it doesn't work Sark will be gone for this mistake.

Oldacre missed a bunch of easy shots too. She needs to jump!

Wow, Vic did not hold back in his post-game presser. Basically said the NIL money makes the players soft.

Amazing how many casuals here forget how bad Texas OL recruiting and development were at Texas before Sarkisian brought Flood on board. Yet they love to hear themselves yap!! 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Flood and cockroaches will survive nuclear holocaust.

Pretty solid strategy if you want a tough team

Making way to much money for his 🤬 Nevermind I’ll stop

Amazing ... love it! This is the NIL "team" battle many coaches face today IMO

Haha

She had a bad matchup and she didn't look like she had the normal Rory energy tonight. It's been a long 2 weeks of tough games so it might have caught up to her given how much she put into the other games. She'll be back with vengeance if we face them again.

She wasn't guarding Galvan outside of a few switches. It was Lee getting juked by her and Blakes owning Rory. Just weird we matched up like that.

Coach Schaefer and the women's basketball program are basically in the same spot that football is with Coach Sark and softball was with Coach White before he won it all last year. They seem so close, but there's something that might be holding them back from reaching the top of the mountain. Schaefer has a lot of talent coming in from high school and international recruiting over the next few years, so you would think he will get it done at some point. It seems like he's open to recruiting players that can shoot the three at a good percentage, so that will help space the floor and allow his frontcourt more room to operate. As for the remainder of this season, hopefully a loss like this a turning point that propels this team for another deep tourney run. How this team responds in Knoxville on Sunday will tell us about the ceiling of this team this season.

This has been simple for a while. Consider us the 35-40th best team in the nation (a lot of advanced ratings have us around there). That itself is close to getting in at large. Not a lock, admittedly. But close. What is a lock is getting to 9 SEC wins (and even 8 is 50/50 odds IMO, projecting from where we are now) If we just play to "chalk" the rest of the season against those rankings, we get there easy. We have shown the ability to "play down" and that Miss St. loss still hurts, but we also have the ability to "play up" and beat almost anybody (except Florida IMO). So call it a wash if we lose one we shouldn't and win one we shouldn't. A LOT of evidence at this point says we are between 35-40 nationally... just be who we are — a frustrating but tantalizing team who averages out to around 35-40th in the nation — and beat who we're supposed to beat on the rest of our schedule (according to those advanced rankings) and we get to the magic number of SEC wins to get that tourney bid. Since about 4-5 weeks ago, when the rankings really started to stabilize and we've gotten to know who the rest of our scheduled teams are, I haven't understood the doom and gloom that says we won't make the tournament. I'm 75% sure we will🤘

I've got my eye on Burns and Higgins. Burns is the "pro-style closer" option with top shelf electricity in that arm. But he had control/command and mental toughness issues last year; we'll see how he's grown there. Higgins is more the "college-style closer" option... and has some similarities to Volantis as a composed lefty who is better than his stuff would indicate. Higgins has also gotten some recent preseason honors recognition, which tells me those outlets think he's gonna be our closer (rare for a middle reliever / stopper to get preseason first team picks). We can quibble about whether we have a top-end starter to match up eye-to-eye with the Casan Evans, Hunter Elliots, Gabe Gaeckles, Cam Flukeys, and Dax Whitneys of our title competitors (we don't IMO), but we have as much if not more pitching depth than anyone! It's up to Schloss and Weiner to strategize to our strengths.

I'm disappointed in that performance. I don't think Vic and the coaching staff did a good job preparing the team for the game. We made some adjustments at half to spread it out and go inside to success but starting the game we had bad matchups on defense. Putting Rory on Blakes and Lee on Galvan didn't make sense to be me and they took advantage. It would have been better to put Lee on Blakes and Rory on Galvan give then the size and quickness matching up much better. We stayed that way much longer than we should. Later Preston and Maddie guarding the 2 stars with Sidberry playing PF was better in the second half but the damage had already been done. Also the refs were vastly favoring Vandy. They had 3x the FT we had which was ridiculous. Blakes and Galvan are special players but we didn't play like Texas today. We never really recovered from their first punch out of the gate. The attention to detail on defense and the focus on offense was not there at all in the 1st half. Way too many open shots and missed bunnies which is very unlike us. Rory looked tired today. It's been a tough schedule the last 2 weeks so just chalk it up to a bad game. We can beat them in a rematch on a neutral site.

Love that they win but I am not a fan of the style of play.
