Sark? This board including the mods talked him up for years, it wasn’t just Sark.

You’re proving the point in real time. Nobody is saying the “scared of competition” theory was correct. The point is that you didn’t know what was happening either, yet you were lecturing everyone else for speculating and telling them to “let it play out.” Well, it played out. Smith is gone, and you still don’t know why. So “that was never the case” is pretty bold for someone who spent last week reminding everyone that none of us knew the facts.

😂 Look at that… straight to changing the subject. Last week: “Lots of assumptions and jumping to unfounded conclusions. How about we let it play out?” Today: Smith is gone. And now suddenly we’re talking Chiefs football. I’ll let you get back to waiting for the next development so you can explain why you knew it all along. He doesn’t predict outcomes, he waits for the outcome, then positions himself on the winning side. Hahaha, hilarious!

You’re the same person who responded to the following post on Gerrys reporting. You spend the first half of the story telling everyone they’re wrong for speculating, then once the facts come out, you act like you knew all along. Elite hindsight. -Is he about to Cook us? -Rip to our LB depth time to get Atkinson sped up -Depth just got a whole lot worse. -Yikes -I thought I read in the past day or two that he had one of his best practices? -I don’t want to be too quick to judge because I could be completely wrong but could he maybe not be taking the Muschamp harping well? -I’m here for the writing. I stay for the community optimism… -Not good -Not good and I had this in the back of my mind about how he might be feeling. If you deserve to start you should deserve to start. Nothing should be a given. This is why I believe Mack failed so frequently early on. He gave priority to favorites and tenured players. And I say that wishing he'll stay because he has played so well and still has so much upside. -And this is your reply to those post. Assistant- “Lots of assumptions and jumping to unfounded conclusions. How about we let it play out?”

😂😂 This aged beautifully. Last week: “Lots of assumptions and jumping to unfounded conclusions. How about we let it play out?” Now that it played out: “Lol at you people who believed the flu.” You really do have an impressive ability to be 100% confident in whichever position became correct AFTER the information came out. 😂

Except that wasn’t my first response. My point was that Texas has one of the three most talented rosters in the country and should have enough talent to withstand losing one player, even a very good one. And your hypothetical actually proves my point. I wouldn’t suddenly assume the entire season is over because Ohio State has a loaded roster and plenty of other elite players. You keep arguing against something I didn’t say because apparently “Goosby is a huge loss AND Texas should still have enough talent to overcome it” is too nuanced for the assistant manager. 😂

Nobody is downplaying Goosby. Losing a potential top10 pick is obviously a big deal. The point is that Texas has an absurd amount of talent behind him. If the roster is truly one injury away from the season falling apart, that says something about the roster construction and development. But sure, “Sark hatred” is easier than actually addressing the point. 🤣

Texas isn’t exactly void of talent. They have one of the top 3 most talented rosters in the country. Ohio State lost Simmons before the season, shuffled the OL and still won a national championship. If Texas doesn’t have enough pieces behind Goosby to withstand one injury, that’s not a talent problem, that’s a roster/development problem on Sark and Flood.

Injuries are the worst part of the sport. “Scheduled to undergo testing” is never something you want to hear regarding your starting LT. Oufff

Arch only threw two interceptions in limited time.

The defense being “a little ahead” despite missing 5 notable guys, learning a new system, and going against a 4th year QB is actually really encouraging, right?

5 notable defensive guys out today per Sark: • Rasheem Biles • Brad Spence • Justus Terry • TyAnthony Smith • John Meredith III And the defense still won the scrimmage per reports. Surely this is fine. 😂 I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for everything. Let’s not jump to conclusions.

Fong with 60% conference and LSU odds at 86% chance to land him and Texas at 3.5%? whew

“Keep battling if he flips?” 😂 You mean the same way people spent months convincing themselves Evan Stewart and Dakorian Moore were secretly coming back to the good guys right up until signing day? At some point it stops being “keep battling” and starts being a support group for recruiting denial. If Royal flips, hanging onto hope and a prayer isn’t a strategy, it’s just delusional cope.

Remember when this board treated the possibility of Royal flipping to LSU like it was a flat earth conspiracy? And just yesterday people were getting laughed off the site for saying Sales wasn’t coming to Texas. Fast forward 24 hours: Sales commits to Indiana, Royal gets a Fong Bomb to LSU, and suddenly the recruiting gurus have gone suspiciously quiet. Amazing how quickly “never happening” turns into “well, we didn’t really want him anyway.”

“Yawn” did I do it right?

An ‘axe to grind’ is a funny accusation coming from someone who immediately jumped to name calling. Reporting what you hear, whether you agree with it or not….isn’t any different just because the platform is bigger. Your entire argument boils down to ‘it’s irresponsible when someone I don’t like reports something I don’t want to hear.’ Platform size doesn’t change whether something is a rumor, it only changes how loud your double standard looks.

I’m not sure what’s more predictable: Sark collapsing in top 5 matchups, or you showing up to whine any time someone points it out.

Desmond Howard reported what he heard. Calling him ‘irresponsible’ while running a fan site that routinely posts speculation is… an interesting standard.

I just posted it above

The tide is shifting it seems and not in a great direction.

The difference in mentality is glaring. Kirby builds on toughness, culture, and effort first, that’s why he has national titles.

Has there ever been an elite coach, Ryan Day, Kirby Smart, Nick Saban, whoever, who gets absolutely dominated in Year 5 of their program the way Steve Sarkisian just did? Show me one. You can’t. And this isn’t some isolated bad night. Sark is now 1–7 vs Top 5 opponents at Texas. That’s not elite. That’s not close to elite. That’s a neon sign flashing “this guy folds when the talent gap disappears.” He’s 0–5 vs Day and Smart and 0–2 vs Kalen DeBoer. Every time Sark faces a coach working with comparable talent and actual championship-level competency, he gets exposed. Texas goes from “We’re back!” to “We just got outclassed again” in a matter of quarters. And the pattern is impossible to ignore: Texas squeaks out OT road wins over bottom-tier SEC programs like Mississippi State and Kentucky, games elite programs bury by halftime. But the moment Texas lines up against a roster in its weight class, the fake swagger evaporates and the scoreboard does the judging. This is Year 5. Elite coaches don’t get blown off the field in Year 5. Elite coaches don’t go 1–7 vs Top 5 teams. Elite coaches don’t need overtime to survive the SEC’s basement. At some point, the results define you and these results define Sark. The hype says elite. The resume says mid.
