My near term hope in this program

One could make an argument that being on the precipice of great but never crossing the threshold to greatness is worse than knowing your bad. Because of the repetitive hope being crushed year in and year out. 

Until last night we controlled our destiny on a team that replaced 10 of 11 starters on offense. I’ll take that over wondering if we’ll be bowl eligible after getting beaten down by OU the first week of October.

The drop off from the previous 2 years is unacceptable in this era. Gerry and Bobby(until this year for Bobby) has said as much

Great. What’s your plan for our future dominance?

Spend the amount necessary in the portal . You can’t tell me this staff put everything they had in the portal this past offseason. You’re the university of Texas and should be able to outbid damn near everybody. Your already paying large amounts to some underperforming players on this years roster. Look at tech . They bought themselves a damn good team . Sark preaches culture yet his culture seems shitty. Players chirping midfield after losing by 25 isn’t a winning culture.

Big 12 Texas vibes, year over year strength without the excuse of we lost this player or that is what separates the good from the great programs. We shall see what happens from here.

Come on man. Fear not, nothing is lost that cannot be easily found. It is a loss and a good lesson on how to finish. We know what it feels like to be finished now we have to do that to other teams.

I’ve noticed our “culture” varies with every win and loss. 
 

Psst, it doesn’t work that way. 
 

And “just money whip them” doesn’t work either. Tech has yet to win a conference in 60+ years. And their only shot at relevance has come with us and okie leaving.

If OU and Texas were still in the B12 with this tech team and their roster due to NIL, tech would’ve probably swept them both.

Well, we’ll never know. Will we? Strange 60+ year coincidence if you ask me.
