I totally agree. I am a huge Sark fan. I think he is fairly honest and authentic, and there’s no denying how much better the state of the program is than when he took over. But the issues that continue to plague this team fall squarely on Sark. The units led by his top two lieutenants he brought from Alabama have grossly underperformed for several years. And I hate to admit it, but it seems that both Quinn and Arch have regressed somewhat the longer they’ve been coached by Sark (and his third lieutenant, Milwee). Finally, I don’t think this offense has a core identity to fall bacK on in critical junctures of games. I’m rooting for Sark to succeed, but he has to perform on the field and get results.

Barry Switzer must be rolling over in his… bed

Hopefully they’re saving those calls for the Florida, Ole Miss and LSU games.

No real rituals for me. I can’t seem to decide which shirt is lucky for me. This year I’ve had trouble getting into a college football groove as I have been traveling back and forth across the country to tend to an ailing parent. I got back in week 2 just in time for the Ohio State game but caught a bug somewhere along the way. fortunately, I’m feeling a bit better and have an overnight brisket hitting 198 so it’ll be ready to pull soon and go into a holding pattern before the game. I’ll have smoked sausage and cream cheese along with queso and guacamole for the game, too. If we play well, perhaps this will become my tradition. Hook’em.

Hard to argue with such a well rounded, insightful and robust analysis. Thanks Ol’ Ball Coach.

Good luck to Colt. Two questions: 1. Do you expect the recent baseball commitments to get drafted and go pro? 2. Does the win against Ohio State help land these recent baseball and softball recruits or is the timing coincidental? thanks

Good point. The SEC is demonstrating the authority a conference can exert with the LSU fiasco.

If they go to 24 teams with no conference championship games, do you think that’s a step toward eliminating conferences as we know them? Perhaps we end up with an nfl-like structure with two large conferences. Another way we get there could be another round of expansion by the SEC & Big 10, essentially cherry picking Notre Dame and a couple of the ACC schools. im not a proponent of this, but I think that’s the direction we are heading.

I’m late to the party on this one, but for #2 I would need to pick an offensive #2 and a defensive #2. So it’s Eric and Jerry. I know that’s a cop out, but I love my Longhorns too much to decide for #2.

41-20 Texas

I learned a couple of years ago for the first time that my father (now 90) had a huge crush on her. I understand why.

I hope Colin Simmons develops a relationship with him whenever he visits Austin. I know they won’t play together but I’d love for Colin to mentor him in some way.

I remember the Shipley brothers’ dad being unbearable 🤪
