I hate this kind of comments from fans.
Yeah the loss ruined your saturday, guess what: no one in that building worked their ass off in the off-season to lose this game and they are sure as hell more frustrated about it than the fanbase.
What is the kid supposed to say? "Oh no it didn't really affect us this loss, just another at work type of deal"

His act is old. Look at his posting history. He is never on here after good news and has been kicked off most Texas message boards.

Pokes fun at the mods on Twitter, finds the most negative in every situation and then dances on graves.

They had a chance to get Branch, Singleton, Concepcion—any number of dangerous, proven weapons who had serious interest in Texas. It’s remarkable to me how little urgency they felt about that position, losing as much proven playmaking as they did.

I understand culture concerns with some of them, but they had a very clear recipe for success in the WR room in getting a difference maker or two from the portal and letting other guys develop. They went away from that this year. We’ll see if they were correct in due time. I personally think not, but will be happy to eat crow. 

Add Barrion Brown to that list.

Arch will take the correct approach, and why he will ultimately be successful 

Stay with the process! 

I don’t think anyone with a brain doubts that. There will be a problem inside the ten yard line though.

We got Mosely and from all reports the coaches love him. He's been hurt/limited. Let the season play out and let go of the recency bias.

For sure. I just never felt Mosley was on the same level as the other guys they’ve gotten in past years. We will see.

Oof. Well, ready to see Mosley and some of the freshmen involved over the next 3 games (pending Mosley’s status). Let’s build that room up.

Sark doesn’t answer to us and he knows it. 
 

Meanwhile, we’re sitting here seeing the same issues pop up over and over. Good thing OTF is here to listen to it all. 
 

Saturday was embarrassing. Period.

Good to see we've reached the point in the season where people get angry at canned press conference responses and that all our problems weren't fixed by talking into a microphone. 

You are lying to yourself if you believe Steve Sarkisian could say anything into a microphone to make you feel better about the red zone.

I’d love for him to announce he’s giving up playcalling and hiring a OC playcaller but that’s for a later conference. 

[82horn]

Anyone have timing of return from injury or what injury Moseley is dealing with ?

Sark doesn’t HAVE to say anything.  But damn would it be easy to just say 

“we’re not scoring enough TDs when we get in the redzone and it’s my job to fix that.  Whether it be a better play call, personnel, etc.  It’s on me.”

Is Chris Jackson an issue?

Arch played terrible, that’s the issue.

How does this coach get out of a room without anyone asking about red zone? Did he threaten to shut down inside information from anyone that asks that question? That can’t be true because he doesn’t give every media outlet inside information. 

I don’t think he took questions?  Just gave a statement.

There is nothing he can say in a press conference to make anyone feel better about the red zone. It’s going to have to happen on the field. 

And like the second statement out of his mouth today was something about everyone in the organization, coaches and players, learning and improving from that game. 

I get that’s not what you are looking for. You’ve made that pretty clear. It’s a college football head coach press conference after a loss so there is a narrow path to success.

My issue is I don’t think Sark believes he’s part of the red zone problems.  So acknowledging that would make me feel better.

I think the offense as a whole lacks an explosive element. Baxter and Wisner are great RBs but I wouldn’t consider either explosive. Wingo supposedly is but need to see it more on saturdays against great teams.

It’s honestly impressive how much energy you pour into tracking tweets from the shadows, acting like you know whose they are when you actually have no idea. You get worked up over factual stats from some random person on Twitter, someone you don’t even know, yet you never engage there to dispute them…that’s odd behavior. That’s not passion, that’s obsession. Meanwhile, you’re never around for good news, only showing up to latch onto negativity and pretend you’re the moral compass of the internet. There’s a pattern: stalking disguised as criticism, sensitivity disguised as outrage, and insecurity disguised as authority. At this point, your obsession is more entertaining than the tweets themselves.

And only having 4 receivers ready when you had an entire offseason is on nobody but this staff. From an evaluation and preparation perspective. 

Sarks formula had been to get proven starting caliber WRs in the portal and then this year he decides not to do so. If i remember correctly wasn’t Mosley a post spring transfer due to Stanford firing their coach? There was a lot of WRs in the portal that were #1 level, abs culture fit can’t be an excuse because Sark took a chance on Bond last year even though there was rumblings about his time at Bama. It’s one game, I hope D Moore, Parker and Mosley when healthy again can continue to take a step as the season goes, but as Bobby has said throughout the offseason Texas lacks explosive playmakers like Blue, Bond and Golden.

No, you can only work with the talent you have. On the flip side he’s responsible for getting said talent. 

You have to throw passes that are catchable. I only saw one questionable pass to Livingstone which was a 50/50 that may have been caught. Everything else was caught.
