Fair now watch the Florida and UGA games

This would be a reasonable take if every option was over and this was the final roster. That’s the frustrating part of the negative ned’s here. Texas was rejected bgh. Instead of grabbing bodies, they’re playing the long game before grabbing equivalents to those you mentioned or they really do like who’s already here. Y’all are mad, unreasonably imo, that we didn’t get the cam of guards. The really frustrating part is negative folks have marathon stamina and just keep repeating their feelings, not facts. The worst part is they get upset when others don’t participate in negativity. Why? In general, negative people will always find the problem in anything and bullhorn about it. There is no solution to it because everything in life has something to point to if one chooses to see it. It’s so important in life to be intentional with whom you associate. Negativity is an emotional forest fire and if allowed in, it’s so easy to find kinder. The opposite side, while much smaller, is also frustrating in that nothing is ever wrong and blind trust anchors their lenses. The result? A site of opposing views that gums up the board by confusing louder and quantity with influence and perspective. Very little nuance or football centric discussion, just check out my feelings that things aren’t going how I wanted which somehow turns into something they were promised or guaranteed. We were told one thing. Texas would be all in much differently than the past. This has played out unequivocally true. Throwing in more expensive hats doesn’t mean you’ll win. Hell, y’all are most mad about folks that didn’t even enter the portal. Now you’re mad about failing plan b when it hasn’t finished yet. See? Always something to find fault in. This isn’t a chat room. It’s a site to discuss things On Texas Football. It’s becoming a site with how people irrationally feel about not getting what they wanted or expected.

step 1 there is a snap count that you go over 500000+ times don’t move until the right count and the ball moves step 2 the guy on the other side with the different color jersey, push him back without grabbing and holding him the end we can’t do either

Let's be honest most here don't know much about offensive lineman. Whenever there's a breakdown they assume that a lineman got beat. Just recently, I watched the Miss State game and from the looks of it, early on the line was having a rough go at it. In reality, whenever a back stays in to block his responsibility is to take the most dangerous man from the inside out. That wasn't happening and there was nowhere to step up and out for Arch. Fans do the same thing whenever it looks like a QB throws to the wrong spot. There's so many things happening on any given play and the only thing we have witness to is the result. As for discipline, as a leader or head coach, you're either teaching it or allowing it. Most of us here played sports and had that one coach we didn't want to piss off. Like this team Sark needs to be tougher.

I’m not sure those guys are better than the ones we have that we haven’t seen.

Exactly and the crazy thing is Baker also didn't play LT in HS at Mater Dei. They kept him at RT and put a natural guard at the next level (guy that committed to Auburn over us who I can't remember the name of currently) at LT instead.

Speaking of penalties, I don't know if it was DKR, FA, DMcW, JM, or MB, but I remember a coach bringing in paid college or HS refs to take part in practice, and call out penalties when they spotted them. I think I remember the coach said it disrupted things, but the discipline improved from all the teaching moments. It seems like this might be beneficial for Sark and company who don't seem to have a handle on how to fix the problem. And yes, I'm old enough to remember DKRs program. I actually got to interview DKR a couple of times for my Dad's newsletter. Hook'em

Nah I don't think so. Beers has one foot out the door and Chavez gets all the attention when she's done. At Texas she would have to compete with the number 1 ranked recruiting class, Booker, Lee, AC, and even Vic. Chavez wasn't trying to win she wanted the spotlight.

This is my issue and what I feel like the OTF staff is not quite getting. I love the otf family and they're not the staff so the blame is not on them but folks aren't upset about Texas identifying the Michigan guys and making strong offers that were turned down. We get that it wasn't realistic to expect perfection but what's annoying is the team not acknowledging how badly the staff pivoted (or failed to pivot) afterwards. A guy like Tellek Lockette was seemingly just sitting in the portal for weeks from right down the road at Texas St and it seemed Texas kept playing around with the idea of bringing him on campus to visit but then would decide last minute to not. There's also All-American guard Laurence Seymore out of Western Kentucky who doesn't seem like we've shown any interest maybe because he's only 6'2 and isn't a big enough human. If Texas pivoted and waved those two in and we had an oline portal class of Siani, Seymore, Lockett, Sikorski & Newman then I think most people would feel like the needs were addressed. Sure, they aren't all grand slams or even homeruns but sometimes even just singles & doubles with a sacrifice bunt can get the job done. That's where Sark has failed and the otf staff not acknowledging that is where I think some of the frustration with them lies.

Tennessee is a beautiful State. My mom lived and worked in Franklin for a while, and we vacationed up there. I've driven through Knoxville and around Neyland, but I've never been to a game there. All who are fortunate enough to go will have a blast, especially if we play well and win.

Thank you for that info. Very helpful.

heard baker never played guard? crikey

Not where we thought it would be but I guess we have no choice but to roll with that.

@CJ Vogel How about a guest appearance on Monday's Coffee & Football by your favorite Coffee & Football sponsor - 😁!!! I am available on Monday mornings!!!! You know, get a little "pure fan" take on the game!! Seriously, OTF is killing it across the board. Proud to be a partner with y'all!! I get most of my intake from the YouTube shows, but then do I jump on here to look for some more hot off the press info, especially during recruiting windows and now with the portal. Candidly, with regard to this online site, if there was a technology feature that allowed us to go to a thread and just have it auto-jump as we click to the next Mod response within that thread, that would be really awesome for when we are in a hurry but still want to see what you all share in responses. Who knows, maybe that tech is already here, or right around the corner. Hook'em from Longhorn Wealth!!

Chavez going to regret that decision baaaad

Glad I got through! And I hope you’re ok!

Any interest from Texas we offered him. @CJ Vogel@Bobby Burton@Gerry Hamilton

I said this and with the Morgan Wallen walk out.

Seating is similar in Bryant Denny as well. That game there in 23’ was about the tightest squeeze I’ve had to deal with for an entire game. Didn’t help that I had a couple pretty big fellas next to me either lol.

You know what? You finally convinced me. It just took you writing 500 posts with the same message for me to see the light. Why are we even lacing ‘em up this year? @Gerry Hamilton @Bobby Burton @CJ Vogel @Rod Babers @Jeff Howe Please let the team and coaches know that because we didn’t sign a JAG Guard out of the portal, we are going to be trash this year. None of the guys on the roster have a chance to step up and play well. Not sure what they are even doing on the roster tbh. Just have everyone redshirt this year so we can wait for a shot next portal season. It’s all Flood’s fault that the good guards decided to stay at their current schools instead of coming to Texas. Nothing else is at fault. Just Flood…send him to the woodshed. See yall in 2027 because we have no shot this year… 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m sure they’ll cross train Baker since he’s the swing OT, but I’m sure they’ll get him tons of guard reps first and foremost. Start of Spring, I’d guess: LT - Chatman / Turntine LG - Baker / Christian C - Robertson / Sikorski RG - *Portal / Sikorski or Coleman RT - Siani / Newman Ultimately, I believe Chatman is probably the backup LG, but for Spring he probably needs to take LT snaps so that Baker can get LG reps. Chatman has previously repped at both Come fall: LT - Goosby / Siani LG - Baker / Chatman C - Robertson / Sikorski RG - *Portal / Sikorski or Coleman RT - Siani / Baker 🤘🏼

I went to Knoxville to see the Vols play a&m in 2023. It was their checker board game and the atmosphere was great. Tennessee pulled it out in the 4th quarter which was nice too. But they really pack you in there like sardines.

If you feel this confident you should bet the house on us sucking. Don’t let that scouting talent go to waste.

2 years in a row flood has shite the bed and his buddy sark still employs him. Can’t wait to watch 3rd and 1 get stuffed with our small rbs behind a line that couldn’t block to save their life while trying to run it up the gut with a stacked box bc everybody knows what sark is running. Struck out on line and rb in the portal. Maybe boom can score on defense
