It's 3-2 against Venables, but the two losses are mind numbing. -

I just realized that Sark is now 3-3 in this game and 2-2 with Venables. -

All true. Our problems are much less pressing than all but about half a dozen teams. Special teams, penalties and Arch's mistakes are definitely frustrating. All of these can be fixed. Play calling is not a problem. -

We just like to call a spade a spade vs put rose colored glasses on -
Ideally yes, it would have been huge. But if Spetic makes the FG you can trust the only good unit on the field (the defense) to make a stop which they did on the following drive. Offense was terrible on converting short yardage today and Spetic is very capable of making that kick. There’s an argument for either option

Not to hate on CJ but outside one run he averaged 2.5 yards a carry and LSU doesn’t have a top 5 defense -

Hell , let's give up and clean house and start over. Has not worked well in the past for us. Oregon, LSU, Florida, Aggie, Bama , lost today also. We flat gave one away today no question . Myself, I am hoping the team don't give up like their fan base. I hate losing , especially to those Assholes , but just hope they get ready to go next week and take down Florida. This damn league is going to beat each other up and have a bunch of unhappy fans all over it this year. -

It's Sark's scheme. Just to be clear. -
Roughing the passer call after a lateral ...

Biles had already left his feet prior to the pass. Kinda hard to change trajectory at that point. He was committed already. -

Couple of things. Discipline is a real problem for Texas. Recurring theme. Leadership lacking. Recurring. Bad playcalling. Recurring. Poor offensive line play. Recurring. Accountability. Special Teams both players and coaches. Same players making same or similar mistakes on every part of the team. Offense Defense and Special Teams. Our best players and leaders cant make silly mistakes and blow it off. Simmons last week PF kept drive alive, jumped offsides tonight. Biles PF on an interception allowing drive to continue and give up points. Arch handing out game balls to the gooners gift wrapped. Here is the one that really bothers me. The last 2 QBs at Texas were both 5 star athletes and ranked 1 in their respective class. With the time that both had on the 40 would anyone say that they were developed to the expected level? Same issue with OL specifically Guards and Center. The good is that atleast WRs and DL are where they should be or ahead. -

I respectfully disagree, Not saying Arch wasnt a problem but the play calls, scheme, and inability to build any continuity is a major problem. -

I'm sure we will win more games but I'm not picking us to win again until they show us that they have turned a corner. Don't put it out of the realm of possibility that we lose next week. -
Mike Elko vs TexAgs/fan base … is wild
jcash02 replied to Gerry Hamilton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
I'm trying to understand Elko's logic behind this crash out? What's the end game in it? Ultimately he'd just discredit and marginalize TexAgs, Billy and their entire media infrastructure. Lots of money invested into it. Everyone knows TexAgs is a cesspool of lunatics, but it's been a centerpiece of Aggie culture for over 20 years now. (Chrissy, Radio, Cart McCoy, List eater etc was a long time ago) I think this is gonna blow up in Elko's face. He's essentially asking for a blindly loyal and dumb cult fanbase. Apparently that's the Aggie caricature he's adopted as reality. Fascinating -
He was in this exact same scenario in 2023 Red River and instead of going for the first down and having Bert Auburn kick a walk off field goal, he kicks the field goal and leaves a minute plus for Dillion Gabriel to march down the field and score the game winning touchdown. Can’t believe he made that same mistake again three years later.

Yeah it’s definitely part of it. It’s tough because what they did clearly got them out of the mud that he inherited. But at the same time you can’t keep testing the definition of insanity. They have to change some of the staff though, it’s stale with banks and flood -
I’ve defended Arch through thick and thin…but you’re absolutely right. Two boneheaded, just inexcusable plays down the stretch. Understandable / tolerable for a freshman who just doesn’t have the reps under their belt (like Keelon Russell, who embarrassingly looks much more poised than Arch). With the number of starts 16 has at this point, decision-making has got to be better. Yes, mistakes are unavoidable. But twice in critical situations at Red River? Can’t happen.

The hardest loses are self inflicted ones. Beating yourself is the most frustrating thing in sports. That frustration can lead us to expressing opinions about coaches' and players' as if we have all the answers. It may lead us as fans to forget, in the moment, that the professionals likely already know about these issues and spend a lot more time trying to solve them than we do. Also, the difference in how much we make coaching and what they make is significantly different for a reason. This team has issues it has to solve to reach what I think its goals are. That said, the only goal that cannot be achieved is an undefeated season. Not sure that was ever considered to be a goal at all. Its not time for frustrated fans to abandon the program and count them out. -

It's not Flood's scheme, it's Sark's. But on the other note, I love that for Baxter. Was a shame we had to move on from him but he just could never stay healthy at Texas. -

It’s definitely the system, not the players. People can say, “players must execute,” but if they’ve been saying this for six seasons, maybe it’s not all on the players. -
It’s not 20/20. You go get two yards and run out the clock. If you don’t get the two yards you lose nothing in field position.
