Call me crazy but if he’s giving me 5.5 sacks every week I’ll take the 15 yards……

Separate issues.  Players do not have to toy with their junk in public to be good.  I would have a difficult time being around my mother if I had done such a dumb thing.

I appreciate CDC and Sark cleaning this up. 

In a world full of betting and porn that lures our youth and many of our supposedly mature men it’s nice to see someone stand up for what is just right. 
 

Morality and decency will never be uncool

 It’s ok to teach this to young people

Nope. These mistakes can cost you a game against better teams. You and everyone knows, the betters teams won’t give up 5.5 sacks in a single game.

I mean the ones that have gotten the players to Texas.

Their fandom and degree is no more important than mine.

 

Also they would be losing their minds if we were 2-2.

….you looked and Raleek’s celebration and that’s the conclusion you drew? A modern dance? Really?!
 

Dude…he literally smelled his balls, took a whiff of it, then presented to pass out from the stench. 

The fact it happened AFTER Simmons penalty might make it even worse. These players just want to go viral on social media these days and don’t realize how it affects the team.

Betting and porn?  Lol.  Thanks for not throwing in booze and grass hoss or I’d feel really attacked.

There’s a word for people still mad four days later also.

Coach Erwin nailed it on lunch with the coach. This type of conduct reveals a fundamental lack of discipline that if not addressed, will lead to us not achieving our goals for this team such that even the 5.5 sacks won't make up for it. Beyond that, treating it as being about just a 15yard penalty when it was a fundamentally wrong, indecent, and disrespectful action is an exercise in missing the point. 

Is Sark's so-called "culture" a mirage? Is that why we are so undisciplined in every position group? Sark is always telling us "one person failed on this play and then another failed on this play... Not always the same person." That has to be a sign of missing discipline, doesn't it? Discipline always starts with position group coaches holding individual players accountable, and then Sark holding the team as a whole accountable. It doesn't seem like that's happening.

Ou sucks week and we are beating this too death.

Pretty hard to fake culture your way to 39-8 the last 4 years. You seem to be mixing up the terms culture and discipline.

Miami played for the national title last year ranking 113th in penalties. Was their culture bad or did they just struggle with discipline?

Culture is fighting down 20 points against Ohio State in the 4th quarter. Discipline is not blocking someone in the back when the opportunity presents itself.

Well I’d hope so.  One was a crime.  The other was a stupid penalty.  

Fair.

And that's my response to you.

The punishment fit the crime. You argued different than that.

My argument is more the PR response doesn’t fit the crime

You act like this has been going on all of 6 years 🙄 of Sark’s tenure. It was handled properly and it's over with. 

We've been amongst the most undisciplined programs in the country for more than just this year. This most recent circus was hopefully a watershed moment and things can finally be addressed appropriately.

The kid's 20, regardless of how much cash is coming his way.

He screwed up, will face consequences if he hasn't already, and he'll probably screw up again.  He's 20.  Revisit your own history at that age.

Yes, there is a standard on the 40 Acres, and CDC addressed that to the west side of DKR.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone what Mack had to deal with, and may we all give thanks we're arguing about QB sack cellys.  

QB sack cellys.

 

Notable Incidents During the Mack Brown Era

2006 Felony Drug Arrest: In May 2006, Ramonce Taylor was arrested by Bell County sheriff's deputies after they discovered approximately five pounds of marijuana in a backpack inside his live vehicle. At the time, Taylor had already been temporarily stepped away from team functions to focus on academics. Following the arrest, Mack Brown announced that Taylor would not be reinstated to the team.

2007 Texas Suspensions: Mack Brown suspended a total of seven players ahead of the 2007 season, with six disciplined over alleged illegal activities ranging from driving while intoxicated and drug possession to more severe accusations. [1, 2]

Alamo Bowl Suspensions (2012): Backup quarterback Case McCoy and linebacker Jordan Hicks were suspended and sent home from the Alamo Bowl following a San Antonio police investigation into an alleged sexual assault at a hotel. No charges were eventually filed by the Bexar County District Attorney's office, and both players were later reinstated to the team. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Pizzeria Arrests (2012): Three senior Texas players—defensive end Alex Okafor, safety Kenny Vaccaro, and tight end Barrett Matthews—were arrested at a downtown Austin/pizzeria area for refusing to obey a lawful order to leave, resulting in Class C misdemeanor citations. Mack Brown handled the discipline internally within the program. [1, 2]

What happened happened. Can't change it now. Issue has been addressed and dealt with by the proper people. Time to let it go, sadly it appears that won't be the case for a lot of folks. Those that just want to whine and complain are going to do just that. Some just like to be miserable.

For this statement to be made the way it was… some higher ups around UT must have been extremely pissed IMO 

Without a doubt and donors too. Or Greg Sankey as well. And this certainly didn't help either taking a shot at former UT player Brian Jones.

Seriously CDC probably needed to address it. Sure his email box was flooded. Maybe now after another day of press it is over. Maybe by making the statement he actually helped stop the mess faster, who knows. 

It's  over now and hope all involved the best going forward. Back to ball and griping about our offense😂
