Afternoon fellas, Figured I’d type my way through this one as a bit of post-loss therapy. Last night stung and probably will until about Wednesday. I’d love to hear how Sark and staff can recalibrate now that the playoff picture is basically gone. @Gerry Hamilton has long been one of my favorite voices in the industry, and his humor tends to underline some uncomfortable truths about Texas Football. Sark’s had real success with misdirection, outside zone, and horizontal stress, 2023 being the high-water mark. But as time has gone on, we've seen less and less of a true power identity. As Gerry mentioned (and @Bobby Burton echoed this morning), it’s not that our guys are being out-physicaled snap-to-snap. It’s that the concepts we rely on simply aren’t physical in nature. That doesn’t mean we should burn the whole thing down like Mack did post-Colt. Quite the opposite: we need alignment at every level of operations. If Sark sits down with coaches, personnel, administration, and recruiting to establish a clear philosophical guide, I genuinely believe this program can course-correct. I told a buddy this morning that Texas feels stuck in a philosophical no-man’s land. We’re good enough to justify not making major changes… yet also inconsistent enough that a couple more losses could bring outside pressure demanding exactly those changes. And that kind of reactive shake-up is how “alignment,” as CDC calls it, gets blown apart. The sweet spot is internal, organic change initiated by Sark himself. Assuming that happens and certain coaching upgrades are made, the next step is personnel. We likely have one more year with Manning, and if Texas is going where we all think it can, some tough roster conversations are coming. College football in the NIL era is basically a one-year contract world. If you don’t meet the standard, you can be replaced. And we’ve seen guys flash late in the season, essentially auditioning for the portal or a future staff. That’s the reality. Positions where upgrades are needed (in my opinion): Offensive Line We’ll lose guys to attrition, graduation, and maybe the NFL (Goosby). Depth and competition are musts. Running Back Love Tre Wisner unfortunately he’s been pigeonholed but has real production. If he somehow gets a draftable grade, I wouldn’t blame him for going. Assuming he returns, we still need a proven, physical back to take pressure off him and a banged-up Baxter. Simon and Cooper are promising, but we can’t go into another season thin here. WR / CB Hard to separate these two in terms of need. We basically ran a turnstile at CB2 opposite Manny (who’s leaving). Meanwhile, WR rotations felt like we were searching for answers every week. Really curious about Santana Wilson—thought he was progressing but he seems to have disappeared. Linebacker Ant Hill is gone, and while Atkinson, Bo Barnes, and T.A. Smith bring upside, that’s a lot of inexperience. A veteran presence next to Lefau feels important. Position Coaches Who Need Upgrades WR – Not seeing real development from Chris Jackson’s recruits. DB – Something’s off: too much cushion, technique issues, miscommunication, regression. Jeff Banks – Penalties are out of control. I thought McEndoo might help TE development, but… not seeing it. Coaches I Think Are Safe (for now) Torre Becton Kyle Flood – He gets heat (sometimes deserved), but he’s produced multiple NFL guys including a first-rounder. Wish he recruited better, but his success is tied closely to Sark’s offensive philosophy. Chad Scott – First year, late arrival, solid recruiting with Cooper. Johnny Nansen – Recruiting well, some development wins, some setbacks. Must Keep Kenny Baker – The man. LaAllen Clark – Pass rush has been legit. Whatever happens, I’ll be there cheering for my alma mater. Curious to see what you guys think.

1st game I’ve watch because of the YouTube dispute.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it not true

This team feels deeper than last year.

Shes fantastic

This inexcusable loss coming off a bye week against a team who fired their coach is why we are essentially eliminated from playoffs. Had it not been for Sark and co laying an egg with their game plans and our execution of game plans we’d still be contending for a playoff spot.

Jordan Lee has really improved. She a force from outside and driving to the basket. Vic gets alot out of these girls

Aaliyah Crump is so good. She plays with confidence.

1. Beat Aggy 2. Rebuild / Reload / Go hell bent on shoring up this roster around Arch for 2026. 3. Beat Ohio State at home in game two and get that albatross off Sark’s back.

We have so many more scorers this year.

32–11 horns after one

I hope Ohio State beats his ass.

17–5 Horns with 4:56 left in the 1st quarter.

Example of why he will never be a WR1.

I wonder why?

For anyone looking to get their mind off of the gridiron. The Lady Longhorns tip off against Texas Southern at 4:00 pm today.

Life comes at your fast. Sark needs to make the staff changes quick and get the off season recruiting and portal going.

If we didn't want him twisting the knife, then we should have taken care of business. We didn't, so the victor goes the spoils. This should hurt Sark and the players more than it hurts us, so let's learn from it and move on.

He should. But if he's misrepresenting things ofc. Our defense (which he's mostly talking about defensive players recruiting wise) is plenty physical. If he's going to tell me Colin Simmons and Ant Hill are not out there smashing people, he's lying. Lance Jackson and Justus Terry (Or Atkinson and Johnson) will get plenty of run and bring plenty of physicality next year.

That’s on Sark

We got out physical-ed no question in the first game in Austin, but last night was less physicality in my mind than it was personnel, discipline, and focus. Georgia just has bigger and better players on the line right now. That's not our players not wanting to get in there and fight but it's just they are bigger and stronger than our OL and tack on the fact we hold on to jerseys too long, it exacerbates the situation. Our defensive line and LBs did fine against the run until they wore out in the 2nd half. The narrative would be so much different if Auburn would have just made the FG in the SEC championship. People are forgetting we didn't get outplayed in that game even though it was ugly, We should have won that game in regulation.

Hope he pulls through. 🙏

Next season we are winning the whole thing Bobby I hate saying it and it suck’s cause I want to win every game but we needed this season to ascend to winning it all next year just my opinion again I’m a idiot who doesn’t know much
