Don’t do it

Now show him pulling. He’s solid in this role but when asked to move, his achilles shows and oddly no tn tape. Connor can’t anchor because of his size and we had to move Baker in because we jacked up the guard recruiting and development for years. I’m a bunk fan but they’re highlighting a player developed by another program. I don’t get flood defenders. I care that we still can’t pick up stunts. I care that we slept for 3 recruiting cycles. I care that others can game plan for our slide protections which implies we aren’t changing them or creative in disguising. He isn’t awful but what has he shown at Texas that says he will get us over the hump? We upgraded from pk so why is it blasphemous to want to upgrade from flood? And no, I don’t have a choice, that’s sark’s job. We should have a back up center ready to replace connor as he’s been here 5 years but we don’t. That’s unfathomable. We don’t have a 3rd or 4th year player that can push him when he’s struggling but flood’s great… I hope I’m wrong and we are the 90’s cowboys ol soon. Carry on lol 🤘🏽

Pass. There’s a dude or 2 that’ll want to be here and have talent via HS or portal. Him still considering kiffin alone ends it for me. lots o clouds tonight, lol

Sad if that’s true. Hoping cdc and sark simply value very basic respect and decency. Though, a few minutes later they were mugging with cigars in a tweet from a coach. Actions speak far louder than any prepped words. They are your responsibility, not friends. It’s a very fine line that they need to clearly differentiate. Shouldn’t need cigars, ill thought out celebrations, etc to have fun. The concern is Colin has long done things like over chirping or purposely bumping people unnecessarily, etc. Just make plays and others will hoist you up.

lol. I started responding to each point but there isn’t one if you think a rb fumble and 2 dropped passes by “elite” receivers is out of our control. The odd bounce after it went through cam’s hands is atypical but it wasn’t a circus catch and one of Arch’s better deep throws this year. Sexier is an odd comment. All folks are doing is extrapolating our current weaknesses to see where we might get tripped up. I simply can’t comprehend those of you that want to wish away our vulnerabilities. It makes zero sense. It also doesn’t negate what we do well. What do y’all think Sark and team are doing right now? They’re, hopefully, pressure testing all of it after the 1st 1/3. Literally, recognizing our deficiencies is the only way we have any shot at a championship season. If one is bothered that anyone other than Sark and team has an opinion, disconnect your internet. We all want them to win. 🤘🏽

Because we allowed a 20 lead, played lax late to allow the touchdown, and missed the onside that hit one of our top receivers on the hands. It’s incomprehensible that some of you celebrate digging out of the holes we create. Success isnt solving the problem you created. Cmon now. I’m still bullish on the season but let’s not ignore our obvious opportunities. 🤘🏽

Why are you a member of something that thrives on different perspectives and opinions? Every P4 coach in the history of ever has known more. We yall at clouds and the tv anytime the perceived talent outweighs the results. It’s simple and fun to try to figure it out. I doubt anyone here truly thinks they speak from a position of superiority to Sark. We enter this forum knowing we are arm chair, pseudo coaches taking out the backside. It doesn’t mean the opinions are completely off as the proverbial blind squirrel but no one knows the game or locker room better than just about any actual coach (though I know we are blessed with some here!). Good night nurse. Is this sark’s burner? Lolol

Quoting reality: he’s right. It’s so ignorant, or whatever word, to deny we are clearly not the best team in the country right now. It’s objectively true. Top 5 defense. Very mid and inconsistent offense. We beat number one but that was also only one good quarter of football and the heat. Also, who gives a 💩 about the ranking? Not anyone serious right now though that could include some of the team with the antics and a coach tweeting pics with cigars. We have more cigar tweets than playoff wins under Sark.

Some of yall are embarrassing. Have some boundaries, dignity, and basic respect. If not for yourself, how about for the school? It isn’t a singular action. It’s a mentality. He does stupid things. He bumps people, he has to do some dumb celebration after doing basic plays that he’s overpaid to do, and shows zero conviction in his apology. He says wants to be a leader. Well, he is and it shows by giving brown the green light to do something equally stupid. Millions of views of this in a Texas uniform and people here want to downplay it? Millions. Hey, he gets sacks so eff class, amirite?

It’s why I wanted the big10 for Texas. It was a better culture fit. Now we’re acting like deep south trash.

The article is whatever but we’ve had 1 quarter where we stood strong all year. One. We are not, today, the best team in the country. Soft is a trigger word for people so it’s used. Our offense definitely needs to find more mental dexterity if we have any hope of making a run. We’ll learn a good bit tomorrow. Wifey is from TN and into football so it’ll be an interesting watch, lol. 🤘🏽

Better be: Spurs = Longhorns. Vols = Knicks

This we agree on! 🤘🏽

We simply disagree. We have to stop giving ourselves credit for issues we cause. We were objectively awful by any measure. The UTSA game pretty much proved my point. If we were mentally tough, we beat osu by double digits and last week would have gotten to the 2nd string much faster. Reports said the field was between 130-160. OSU articulated post the game that they wore down. Check this out if you haven’t: OTF 2nd watch btw, you ask folks to not argue but imply that one needs to have played high level sports to have an educated opinion. Just feedback for you. 🤘🏽

I apologize for contributing negatively to your post. I loathed that environment and I appreciate the redirect.

Only about 4 decades late for Austin and South Texas. I’m from SA and I saw Pink Floyd in ‘99 at the Alamodome. It’s not my thing but I support others’ choice who use it. That night, it was smokier than a football field when the kickoff pyro lingers. Man, it was crazy. I saw joints that’d make Cheech and Chong blush… Security didn’t bother anyone unless they were super, super obvious or acting out which means they were most likely on something else, lol. Good times.

Done

1 good quarter in the last 8. Oline awful and as always, we just keep the same people in. Sark was pissed all game as he knew how flat the offense played. He needs to consider pulling Arch for a series during games when he’s consistently floundering to help him see the field. Different sport but Pop was a master of the quick time out or quick pull. Otherwise, Arch seems to overwhelm himself trying to get out of the rut. UTSA is used to the heat…

Lolol. Waste of my time. What are you 6? Texags? Love the block feature. ✌🏽

Seriously, why do yall post? This thread was specific to mental toughness. I had a different view on it. How is it a funeral to call out facts and consistent experiences? We rebounded well in the 4th and I acknowledged it. As for Arch, it’s observational, not critical, over ~17 games. Yall think sark and co just feed him chocolates and pat his back? Thankfully, not. Goodness.

Talk about lacking mental toughness or maybe reading comprehension. Instead of crying, maybe articulate what was inaccurate. Our society is soft because we only want praise. Arch has many strengths. This isn’t one yet.
