  1. I think the OP's point is that the way most people talk about ALL IN is like the professional model of sacrificing the future to win today. It is a little different in the college game, but people want to throw a pile of money at every prospect who may possibly have the talent to help us next year, regardless of what it to the culture of the team. But Sark didn't build this program to be like Tech. He didn't build it by throwing piles of cash at mercenary players with no regard for how they fit in the locker room or how their deal will impact the morale of the team. And taking that approach this year because we "can't waste Manning's and Simmon's last year" threatens to destroy the entire model/culture he has built. I am all for Sark doing everything he can to fill holes through the portal, but I also agree with the OP that it should not be at the expense of the PROGRAM and TEAM in 2027 and beyond.
  2. Still the only game I have ever been to that I didn't stay for The Eyes. We were in the upper deck, the wind was whipping, and it was colder than anything I had ever felt. And we were about as prepared for the weather as the Horns were for the Canes. We made it to late in the 4th quarter, but it was more than we could stand...
  3. I was in school at the time and my girlfriend (now wife) did not know much about football, but went to all the games with me. She LOVED Priest (or Anthony as he was originally known). I have no idea how she had such an eye for talent, but she always questioned why he didn't get more playing time (over Shon Mitchell or that Ricky guy). She was so infatuated with Priest that I ended up getting her a Priest jersey that she got him to sign as he walked off the Tower steps during the a&m Hex Ralley. She still has it in the closet. There can't be many of them around since it wasn't legal to get player's names on jerseys back then... I can tell you she really enjoyed that Sun Bowl!
  4. I don't think anyone has slandered PK. People are just noting he had some flaws and have differences of opinion on whether he is good, great, or elite. And the concerns aren't new, nor are they different than fans have about a lot of really good defensive coordinators. All of the flaws being discussed are the same ones that people have complained about after every loss (or win that was too close). At the end of the day, I think Sark just wanted to be more aggressive. PK is great, but I think he probably suffers with a little bit of Mack Brown's too scared to lose syndrome. And Sark has decided that to get over the hump (especially in the SEC), he needs someone more aggressive.
  5. I'll second the Sports Psychologist. I don't know if Texas routinely works with one, but they should. I know that under Saban, Alabama used to regularly bring in Dr. Bhrett McCabe, who also works with a lot of the top professional golfers. Right now Arch, and several of the offensive players, need help with the mental side of the game. We always say that the mental side of any sport is of such great importance, but how many people/teams actually practice it.
  6. Jim is a great guy, extremely smart, and he LOVES UT football. So, I expect his alignment with Eltife and CDC will be 100%. He is conservative and I probably will not agree with everything he does as President. But I can also promise you that he should NOT be lumped in with Ken Paxton.
  7. Galvan clearly tweaked something on his big swing earlier in that at-bat. Right after the swing he asked the ump for additional time and was trying to stretch and gather himself. And then he was clearly limping around the bases.
  8. Based on the rule posted above, it is clear there was no indicator and they got the call right. It would really help if the "rules expert" on the broadcast actually knew the rules. He clearly said (or at least strongly implied) that for a defenseless player forcible contact is all that is required. If he would have said that there also has to be an indicator, I don't think there would be nearly the outcry (because it is really hard to argue there is an indicator). But when the "expert" on the broadcast creates the impression they got the call wrong, that narrative just spirals out of control. Especially when it goes against the underdog and is at such a critical time.
  9. My dark secret is that a lot of my family members are aggies. I had a couple of great-uncles and several other cousins play football at a&m. When my dad was being recruited to play baseball, he was a rebel and decided not to go to a&m. He originally committed to Texas Tech. But thankfully, his high school team played against Cliff Gustafson's South San Antonio team during the playoffs in his junior and senior years. When Coach Gustafson was hired at UT in 1968, he convinced my dad to join him in Austin. I wake up every day thanking God for Coach Gus, otherwise I would have probably grown up a Tech fan [shivers!]. So I grew up with burnt orange blood and my brother and I both attended UT - it was the only college I applied to. My wife also went to UT. And now we have a son that will graduate from UT next year!
  10. My seats through the Foundation are E519.
  11. I haven't watched this episode yet, but have seen previous episodes breaking down our games. While they are Georgia homers, they LOVE Sark and Quinn.
  12. I believe the team is scheduled to arrive at 12:15. But they are usually early. utexas.getvozzi.com/'/n0WrxL
