I agree that soccer looks like they are going to struggle to make it into the tournament this year, I think a primary reason which hasn't been talked about is the lack of a strong goalie. Texas has traditionally has goalies who made great saves and losing Mia Justice hurt more than the attackers imo. That's going to hurt. I don't know anything about the cross country teams but Texas has not traditionally done well enough in those sports comparatively. Volleyball and football will need to score extra points (semi-finals at least) in order to stay in the hunt. On the flip side, maybe men's bball will hold their own this year as last year they scored a dud and soccer subsidized that scoring.

Learned the Mamba mentality? That's a gamer right there. Kobe my #2 all time behind Jordan.

As many have stated, this is a young team compared to recent years, two of the main three starting outside hitters (main attackers) are both true freshman, the other is a junior. They have amazing moments and moments where their inexperience shows. I believe the only starting senior is Halter the Libero. I'm amazed at the amount of Texas fight the team has, many other teams would have folded. I believe will be extremely tough to beat at the end of the year once the freshman get their experience. With that backcourt, there's pretty much no give up at all on any play.

She moves really well in that video, big time prospect!

Very Muschamp esq, that's fire. Nothing wrong with wanting your team to have a killer instinct. Put games away with authority, force the fear into them.

This is the concern for me, as great as Sark is as scripting plays, it seems he has trouble making adjustments during the game. This was something Saban was a master at. If I recall correctly, Saban explained coverage vs. ATM in a game, and he pulled the same play that ATM ran up twice and the first time it was successful and then Saban talked about the adjustments they made and the second time it was ran the Bama defense handled it because of the adjustments.

I would argue DeBoer inherited a Rolls Royce from Saban whereas Sark inherited a Ford Focus from Tom Herman.

I have a feeling North Carolina's season will largely dictate how many opportunities long time NFL coaches will get to coach a college team moving forward.

Sark said on 3rd and Longhorn (and I believe him) that the Texas job is the best college job because of everything that you have, including the city of Austin. Financial resources, fan support, recruiting base, Austin having both big city as well as college town feel, no pro football team, the list goes on. Felt like as he was talking he truly believed it makes his job easier because recruiting to Austin isn't as hard as say college station.

They couldn't use the correct icon/emoji for Texas? A cow really?

With LSU winning, so far in the first two top ten matchups the lower ranked team has won, we’ll see how Miami Notre Dame turns out but this season is shaping up to be chaos so far, including bama losing to fsu.

I just realized we still don’t know if we have a kicker that can make a field goal when needed.

Lots of people are assuming Florida is an automatic win, it’s in the swamp and they’ll be ready for payback. Texas will need to make some big improvements to pull out a win, starting with Arch playing like he’s capable of.

Definitely a lack of explosive plays that we've gotten used to the past few years, outside of the Livingstone catch and I think one by Wingo, there weren't much.

The positive I guess it that the gave was winnable, like you said, Texas beat themselves with penalties, bad misses (Arch), and poor play calling. It wasn't a blow out, it was a close game to the now probably #1 team early in the season. Also, the team knows what they need to work on in order to beat a good team, the next 3 games won't really tell us much because theoretically, the starters should not be playing in the 2nd half and resting.
