Ffs, it’s actually OVER!

This is the right message. I get being frustrated for a bit but the constant negativity and whining is getting old.

Did y'all even read it? It's pretty true. That Florida game was silent, and I was in the cotton bowl, and our side was notably quieter.

Silent is better than boos, which the offense 100% deserves.

Texas football is unraveling, and somehow the message is that the fans need to look in the mirror? Fans didn’t build this offense, hire the staff, or develop the players. You can support the team without excusing the people responsible for its failures.

let me know you lack reading comprehension without telling me you lack reading comprehension.  Just in case, I also provided you with the definition of reading comprehension

Reading comprehension is the ability to read written text, process its meaning, and connect it with what you already know. It goes far beyond basic literacy, which is just recognizing or sounding out printed words

You have already been in the portal threads since Flood was retained.

That tweet that Texas has fired Kyle Flood is going to do things to my soul

Nothing says “reading comprehension” like posting a dictionary definition instead of addressing the point. Fans can support the players and hold Sark accountable. Apparently that distinction was a little too complicated. 😂

I don't care what this propagandist goober thinks about anything, but it's rich to write this tripe about fans needing to step up for a $50M team, a "generational" talent at quarterback and a "genius" play caller. The crowds were silent because the team crumbled in both games and has been absolutely putrid ever since the UTSA game. McConaughey doesn't need to worry, though, since he'll always have people like this Rocky P goof to defend each other and blame the fan base for this pathetic football team.

nothing he said has to do with not holding the team or Sark accountable.  It's what can fans do right now to help this team?   It's be loud, stay late, wear burnt orange.  THAT IS OUR JOB.  If you want to cry, complain, and quit on the team, then go join TexAgs.  Billy will welcome you with open arms.

It’s never been more over than it is right now.

Who said anything about quitting on the team? You’re arguing against something I never said. Fans can show up, be loud, support the players AND expect better from Sark. It’s not complicated. For someone lecturing others on reading comprehension, you sure struggle with it. 😂

I'm just going based on your response to a letter asking fans to be louder and keep cheering for the team, instead of being quiet.  Maybe you should think about the message you are conveying if it's misinterpreted.

Or maybe you could respond to what I actually said instead of what you assumed I meant. I never criticized fans cheering. I questioned the timing and message given the state of the program. Funny how the guy handing out reading comprehension lessons keeps misreading the argument.

That’s not the message.  That’s the message you chose to take from it.   A lot of truth in that message.  I’ve been a season ticket holder since I graduated from UT in 91.  Maybe missed 10 home games in 40 years.  Went to Tenn game this year and the atmosphere is so much different than what I heard from DKR in the 1st half of the Florida game.  The offense came out and scored in the 1st qtr and the crowd was still lame as hell when we were in defense the entire 1st half of the game.   You can sit around and mope and be pissed iff or you can choose to try to help out the team.

You are responding to a troll, man. It's not worth your time. The guy spends all day making fun of OTF mods on Twitter, yet is allowed to come on here and stir up drama.

Notice how he's never around after wins.

Sark said it himself, we have to give them something to cheer about. If you want loud and rowdy try not having 10 of your 15 drives go for 4 plays or less that would help.

[JMarquette]

This is the type of sh*t that we get made fun of for - McConaughey, who isn’t a player, is writing in the Players Tribune, to tell fans that we need to basically keep the faith after our fans invested $50 million and significant time into this team. This is after our HC (who is also our OC) went around and paraded how good this team is only to have an awful offense and lose to 2 unranked teams. This is borderline insufferable.

This is like a "Players only meeting" but for the fans.
