We are the Penn St of the SEC. Sark is our James Franklin.

I also wanted to share my opinion on how i really think this team is almost identical to the Texas team of 2022. New starting Qb, a bunch of young Olinemen, young receivers, lots of expectations and a whole lot more disappointment. I hope the next few years go better then the two that followed 2022, just need to figure out the main issue (coaching). Hook’Em!

That wasn't fun to watch, it was less fun to write about and it's going to be worse to discuss publicly.

Orphey is good. The problem is Akina being in control of the secondary. He’s a terrible coach for what PK wants. You won’t see negative about him from 995er because he likes to gossip to them with info

Texas was positioned to get the ball back with under four minutes to go in the third quarter of Saturday’s 35-10 loss to Georgia. The Bulldogs lined up for a fourth-and-1 from their own 36. With the Longhorns poised to seize momentum, the championship pedigree of Kirby Smart’s program took it back and held onto it en route to a third win over Steve Sarkisian’s club in 13 months. Texas (7-3, 4-2 SEC) cut the Georgia (9-1, 7-1) lead to four points when Arch Manning found Ryan Wingo in the end zone for a 7-yard touchdown with 5:27 left in the third quarter. After Gunner Stockton and Chauncey Bowens connected for a 10-yard gain for the first of two fourth-down conversions on a 10-play, 73-yard touchdown drive, a surprise onside kick recovery and a 9-play, 53-yard march to another Bulldog touchdown, Manning and the offense faced a 28-10 deficit when it got back on the field at the 8:49 mark of the fourth quarter. Whether it was losing the line of scrimmage battle, a failure to execute in critical situations, dealing with one self-inflicted wound after another or Smart’s staff winning the chess match against Sarkisian and his assistant coaches, Georgia was better than Texas, across the board, for the third time in as many meetings as SEC foes. For the Longhorns to ascend to the next level as a program, they’ve got to get through the Bulldogs. With Georgia off the regular-season schedule until 2028, the only way Texas will get another crack at the Bulldogs over the next two years is if it reaches the SEC Championship Game. As the fourth quarter unfolded, one in which Texas outscored (21-0), outgained (119-64) and outclassed in virtually every possible measure, the preseason promise of the Longhorns competing for the SEC title and a national championship faded with every body blow the Bulldogs landed. As things stand, Texas won’t be back in Atlanta and, unless it benefits from a lot of unforeseen good fortune down the stretch, it won’t make a third consecutive trip to the College Football Playoff. *** One of the reasons why Georgia is a bad matchup for Texas is the athleticism and length the Bulldogs possess up front. Once again, the Bulldogs won the battle at the point of attack in a landslide. Georgia sacked Manning three times, recorded seven tackles for loss and held the Longhorns to just 23 net rushing yards on 17 carries. Even when adjusting rushing yards to exclude sack yardage, 39 yards (2.8 yards per carry) wasn’t close to what Texas needed to achieve much-needed balance on offense. In their three losses to the Bulldogs over the last two seasons, the Longhorns have given up 13 sacks and 32 tackles for loss while mustering just 83 net rushing yards on 72 official attempts (1.15 yards per attempt). Georgia rushed for 128 yards (3.7 yards per attempt), 67 of which came in the fourth quarter, as the Bulldogs once again owned the line of scrimmage. *** The chatter regarding Sarkisian’s struggles against Smart won’t die down. In fact, after Smart pushed all of the right buttons in the second half while Sarkisian’s offense sputtered and the Texas defense wore down, it’ll be louder than ever. Sarkisian has done a lot of good in his five seasons on the Forty Acres. Nevertheless, his head-to-head win over Nick Saban in 2023 is starting to be overshadowed by Sarkisian’s combined 0-7 record against Smart (0-3), Kalen DeBoer (0-2) and Ryan Day (0-2), along with his 1-7 record against top-five opponents while leading the Longhorns. Sarkisian’s success over the last two seasons has raised the bar to a championship standard. With that as the backdrop, Saturday’s loss adds even more importance to the regular-season finale against a Texas A&M team expected to roll into DKR with an unblemished 11-0 record. If Sarkisian’s Texas squad goes 0-3 against top-five opponents in 2025 while the Aggies and Oklahoma advance to the CFP (a realistic outcome after the Sooners’ 23-21 road win over Alabama on Saturday), it’ll be a long offseason with a lot of tough questions to answer throughout 2026. *** For the third consecutive meeting between the Longhorns and Georgia, the Bulldogs’ best players outpaced Texas’ top dogs. Manning wasn’t bad (27-for-43, 251 yards, one touchdown and one interception), but Stockton was better (24-for-29, 229 yards, four touchdowns, one interception and a rushing touchdown). Although Anthony Hill (six tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss and an interception) and Colin Simmons (three tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and a sack) made plays, they didn’t dominate the game the way they needed to for the Longhorns to win. *** The final score isn’t a direct reflection of how far Texas is from reaching Georgia’s level as a program. Still, until the Longhorns can hold up better in the trenches, avoid shooting themselves in the foot (nine penalties for 58 yards) and play better situational football (a combined 4-for-15 on third and fourth down; the Bulldogs also went 4-for-4 in the red zone with four touchdowns), they’ll likely continue to suffer the same fate in games of this magnitude.

We definitely took a step back on the coaches from last year. Orphey just got here, do you replace him after one season?

Well Texas loses another one this season basically getting embarrassed coaching wise. I mean you have two weeks to get ready, and it’s just not there man. This was just simply disastrous. There’s no excuse to have as much talent as Texas has and go into a do or die game and commit as much penalty’s as they did. It’s just really painful to watch. I really don’t know personally the solution for all of this. All I know is that this team is really young and absolutely will get better, but there needs to be accountability for everyone in this program. It seems like there was no standard being set this year. It’s a shame too see guys like Ant Hill and Taffee go out this way. I mean there’s a chance Hill comes back but I hope he doesn’t. He’s done his job here, the coaching just hasn’t delivered and helped him become a champion. So, what is the solution to this mess? Is it a new head coach? Offensive Coordinator? Wide Receivers coach? New players? I just don’t know. All I hope for is that Texas wins out and goes into the offseason with positive momentum. That’s the only thing that will make this team better. Hook’Em.

I came to grips with this fact about a month ago. We’re way too much of an inconsistent team right now.

I agree, just wish I knew how our OL could be better next year.

Absolute terrible hire

Most of us knew that when we saw how bad our OL was in the non conference slate.

Well the UGA game felt like I took a UFC beating. But time for Valentina. Love watching her fight.

Akina needs to retire

Best option to save face and rebuild the Longhorn winning ways and legacy.

Well that was a butt whooping, huh?

same rates I believe.

Will it be available to watch? And/or can someone post it?

Sark needs to get off the booze and focus on the field

tell me otherwise

I doubt he's going to do any of that, but the people paying up will certainly start to question things. Especially with the crap show put out against Georgia.

I can't believe Sark is getting as much as he is. It's crazy you can make that much and put this out on the field? We're lucky this team doesn't have 2-3 more losses already.

I wanted to be wrong but, sadly I wasn’t, some of yall may not know or care who me and hashtag were, and you can harass me in my dms as grown men (again) which is completely fair, but we all saw the product tonight. It isn’t going to change unless a specific person is gone. I do apologize to @Oldest Horn though…sadly our current football situation has led us to turn on each other as fans. Farewell.

Surely, CDC has got to take a hard look at this coaching staff. With the money spent on the roster, there are lots of holes and absolutely no discipline.

We sucked big time tonight, no excuse. Every time they turn the camera to Sark, he looks completely lost. PK's great D got shredded, again. Our offensive guru got out shined by Bobo (no shade to Bobo) and special teams was once again, non-existent. I expected us to lose but not get blown out. Once Georgia went up 21-10 the team seemed to just give up.
