Season is officially….

i think

OU/tech/Aggy getting in along with vandy who we beat is what is the most disappointing.

The season was not a waste. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sure, I could have enjoyed it more. But if you didn’t like watching Texas develop as a team, then I think that’s on you. 

If you don't make a playoff you can't compete for a national championship, anything less than playoff birth is failure.

What bowl do you guys think we'll get? More importantly who is sitting out?

The season improved especially offensively but I didn't enjoy watching the offensive struggles, a turnstile at left guard most of the season. The run game was abysmal most of the year.

The team really didn't play a full game where all three phases played well for an entire 60 minutes. Yesterday's game was probably the closest to that. 

Didn't enjoy the Ohio state game, San Jose State was a struggle, UTEP was ugly. Kansas was ugly, miss State was ugly, Florida and georgia games were disappointing. 

Second half vs OU, first half vs Vandy, offense vs Arkansas and Sam Houston State and yesterday's victory were enjoyable. 

If Texas replicates this season next year it would be a massive disappointment. 

Its not a complete waste but it fell below the standard that they have set, especially as a pre season number one. They improved tremendously which gives great optimism but the players and staff expected better and as fans, we do too.

If anyone mentions - “but we beat Aggy and OU”

Who cares. 
 

Now go spend big and win it all next year 

It wasn't a waste at all.  They did NOT underperform.  Instead, we as a fan base overrated them.

We lost the following to the NFL: 4 starting offensive lineman. our starting tight end, our best receiver and.......oh yea, our starting QB.  

We should never have expected a CFP appearance.  We should be happy we got as close as we did.

I'm impressed with this team.  We are a couple of inside offensive lineman away from a top 5ish team next year.  What more could we ask for?

At this point, another 10 win season with how this season started is a win in my book. This team ought to be hungrier than ever next season if and when they get shafted in the bracket. Maybe that lights the fire under sarks ass that’s needed. Team could’ve sputtered and easily been a 5-6 loss team this season. And at least that won’t be happening

Bobby I understand this sentiment but we have zero nattys in the Big 3 since 2005. 
 

We have one natty in 50 years. We have more resources than anyone. 
 

This season was a waste. Yes we saw development but let’s be real we expected a natty. 
 

Do you think Kirby, Saban, Day had “development” years in year 5. They win natties. You don’t have those at this stage.

You might have expected a natty, not much of anybody else here did. Now I expected the playoffs no doubt. But natty? That’s 2026.

Find me one mod on this site that predicted Texas to win the national title this season. If you expected a natty after Florida, or really even after the non conference schedule performances, you have unrealistic expectations.

This is preseason.

Don’t move the goal posts

Did Kirby or Day have “development” years in year 5.

I hear you. But my point is assuming Texas was gonna win the natty knowing what was being replaced is just unrealistic in my eyes . I expected to at least be in the final 4, maybe even get to the title game. But Ohio st was always the team to beat and have shown no reason to think otherwise
