19-6. Weather and Texas wins. Context is we score once a quarter and they score twice. Our range 12-28. Their’s 6-14.

Last night? All he does is talk the ear off of the ref, stand in the field 60%, and talks all the fam time at the refs… I live near ATL and I can’t stand his antics

Last line is silly. I think this is the stuff the mods are talking about. Zero reason to add the last sentence when your overall opinion was made. There are logical and plausible reasons for a win. You don’t have to be an idiot, you can simply be objective with possibilities and probabilities. It’s also The Game where records and prior games often don’t matter. OU offense is meh. I’m not sure who’s tested their defense so there are definite ways to win. If our defense is a fraud, the bottom probably falls out for the season. If they were caught off guard last week, regardless of why, and return full bore, we’ll be in most games. If our oline and play calling approaches just average, we could be sneaky good instead preseason ranked #1 good. Honestly, no team scares me this year. We scare me by underperforming but no team has looked remotely unbeatable.

30-9 Texas

I’ve wrestled with this. I wonder if it’s similar to the Akina / Manny issues in the recent pass. Philosophical clashes. I think he clearly has value but I wonder how he identifies and addresses blind spots. As a leader, I always try to hire those that think differently, better, etc. so long as we are grounded on the outcome(once decided, simply can’t have folks rowing in multiple directions that’s why it’s crucial to involve them in the decision process). It’s a simple concept but not always easy to execute. Does he need a specific specialist for developing large humans? Do they test/contrast weight room strength against playing strength, etc. I’m not a baby bath water guy. Hell, even for Flood, if his concepts are still fresh and effective, maybe he needs someone that teaches better. Teaching and transferring skills are far less common strengths for people in general. It’s way beyond parroting and repetition. Though, for what he’s paid, he probably should be able to do both? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Saban’s players were maxed and often bounced soon from the nfl because of wear and tear. They were 3 deep because of paying players when others weren’t so not remotely an apples comparison. Just because you think it’s the first year about S&C doesn’t mean it’s true, lol. Good lord. Our oline has struggle for years to push and drive folks. I never learn to keep you on ignore. Back you go.

@John Boyle @Cujonation83 What are y’all hooking? The post makes zero sense. Sark emphasizes more teaching but that leads to a weaker mentally? Nonsensical. “Rough” practices are proven more detrimental than helpful. If anything, we have an S&C issue/gap. Sark has the right approach for wear and tear. He over trusted flood, and bo for that matter, and is reaping the consequences. It’s not rocket science.

He hasn’t looked remotely the same. He needs to get better but has shown improvement. He was legitimately pressured all night. Those weren’t happy feet. He needs to work on his progressions and I don’t know if he’ll live up to the hype but it’s inaccurate and disingenuous to say he’s the same.

Last time I let my heart decide. Tried optimism vs realism. Lesson learned.

We’re waiting

23-6 Texas.

It’s left to tight. G-c-g as the weak links with Campbell the worst against what he should be. Stroh seems to have a super low floor because of balance/feet while also playing too early. We’ve heard baker is a technician but currently that means bring in the right place to get overpowered. If Kibble and Brooks are clearly superior athletically and drive wise to Stroh, Campbell, or Baker, play them.

Super lazy response but makes sense you’d choose it.

I simply go by what happens on the field. Our oline lacks playing strength. Stroh is a great example. Keep hearing he is one of the strongest in the weight room but it doesn’t translate to the field. Little punch and has terrible balance. Baker is pretty often in the right place but over powered fairly consistently. Hutson doesn’t seem to move folks after all these years of folks wanting him to replace ole faithful and so on. Some areas seem okay so maybe we need an Oline specialist 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yours? What are you dismissing? Who can he be credited with developing? C Jones? Okay. Who else? The super star class entered and left with the same level they entered. Banks was gonna Banks. Hutson, Campbell , Neto all multiple year players and are well below average. Never mind. If you can’t see it after 5 years of film, my words are useless.
