Anyone else think its funny that Brooks Austin always throws some shots at Sark and Texas every show for the last month or more? He is now criticizing Texas for "ruining the sport" by threatening the cancelation of our big non-con after the Ohio St, Michigan games get honored. He's throwing this shade while being a homer of a school who never schedules marquee non-cons with blue bloods. I may be the only one who is bothered by this but I hate a hypocrite.

He's a UGA homer.  He knows that Sark is his program's biggest rival in recruiting.  He panders to us when he makes his OTF appearances, but he's not an objective observer (and that's ok).

I haven't listened to Brooks in a minute, so I can't really speak on what he may or might not have said.  With that being said, my incredibly uneducated take is:

He knows what he's doing.

Texas is a brand that people seem to either love or love to hate.   ANY slander will garner you clicks and views (from supporters and detractors alike), and in an attention economy, it's all good for him.  He can slice and dice those clips, post them on social media (or as a YouTube Short), and his viewership numbers are bound to go up.

His criticism of Sark’s scheme is valid. It needs adjustment in order to beat the ohio states/georgias of the world. 
 

I wouldnt look too much into his “ruining the sport” talk. He also said Texas was doing a good job lobbying.

I like his show and his film breakdowns. He's got a good brand going for the space he occupies in the college football world. And yes, he's a homer for Georgia that's trying to expand his market to covering other programs, but the Georgia homerisms still slip out all the time. I find him to be a lot like Kirby and the rest of the Georgia fan base. Remarkably thin skinned given their historical and recent success. Being at every Georgia game last year you could sense that they weren't confident in themselves like the fanbase was in Tuscaloosa. Hell, those fans helped us take photos celebrating in their stadium. Georgia was much more Sooner-ish with the constant horns down and stupid nonsense at the end of our OT loss in Atlanta. We needed to win that game this year to shut them up but alas it has to wait for another opportunity. Really wish Burt woulda make that kick.

I totally agree with ya'll. I just hate when he says outlandish things like that because I regularly watch his program when I get through the OTF content. I think his break downs are good but when you bash others for what you are doing in your own home is very shallow in my book. Prolly just giving it too much attention.

I could definitely see this being the case.
