Saying Sark ‘failed Arch’ is like blaming the chef because the grocery store was out of ingredients. 2025 wasn’t a play‑calling crisis -- it was a personnel shortage. Arch didn’t get failed; he got introduced to reality.

Three years in the system” doesn’t magically mean he was ready - it just means he’s been present. Sark doesn’t hand out snaps based on attendance. Arch still needed real‑speed reps, weight, and timing, and Sark wasn’t about to stunt him so you can pretend “years on campus” equals “game‑ready.” Texas protected him. You’re proving you don’t understand the difference between being there and being ready. I’m done arguing with you --- I respect your posts, I just disagree with you on this.

Cool story, but it doesn’t change a damn thing. Redshirt sophomore doesn’t magically erase the fact he still needed weight, timing, and full Sark install before you throw him into garbage‑time clown snaps. Acting like “redshirt sophomore” means he was secretly a finished product is exactly why film‑bro takes sound like they’re coming from someone who learned football off Madden loading screens. Arch wasn’t ready for chaos reps, and Sark wasn’t about to stunt his development so a YouTube guy --- or you --- could pretend it means something. Texas protected him because they actually understand QB development. The film guy doesn’t. And clearly, neither do you.

LMAO.... The “Texas failed Arch” take is peak August desperation from a dude who needs clicks like oxygen. Arch was a true freshman who needed weight, timing, and Sark’s install --- not tossed into garbage‑time clown snaps so some YouTube film bro could pause clips and pretend he’s uncovering state secrets. This is the same guy who watches three plays, declares himself a QB guru, and somehow still manages to misunderstand all three. Texas didn’t fail Arch. Texas protected him. The film guy needed clicks, a headline, and maybe a helmet so he stops injuring himself with his own analysis.

Interesting young lady...thks for posting @LonghornFan4Ever

Watched last night

Hoping for Luke Dunham, Carson Berger, Nick Hudson, Rett Anderson and possibly Sarks's son Brady.

If he’s coming in for a big weekend like Ohio State, he’ll have no problem getting the full DKR experience without paying DKR prices. Posse East is basically the unofficial “no‑ticket section” - packed, loud, and close enough to feel the crowd shake the place. Scholz is the more traditional option with a huge beer garden and a ton of alumni. Crown & Anchor is the cheaper, more laid‑back campus bar if they want something less shoulder‑to‑shoulder. If Longhorn City Limits sets up the big screen on the LBJ lawn, that’s honestly one of the best ways to watch a game. You’re outside, surrounded by fans, and the stadium noise is right behind you. Tailgate‑hopping around DKR is also a must. Plenty of TVs, plenty of friendly Horn fans, and he’ll meet more random Longhorns in one afternoon than he has in his entire life out of state. Fredericksburg afterward is a great cool‑down - Becker, Grape Creek, Signor, all solid wineries. Johnson City is quieter but has great tasting rooms. Marble Falls/Horseshoe Bay if they want lake time or golf. Easy trip, great mix of chaos and chill. Hook ’em.

Haha Yeah, the mustard deal was nice… but this contract is the kind of money where Bijan can buy the entire condiment aisle and name it after himself.

This is what happens when you’re elite at literally everything: running, catching, blocking, being a human. Texas builds them different. Hook ’em. Pay the man.

well said Paul

Wednesday can't get here quick enough 😀

With the Big Ten, SEC, and Big 12 all in the same room, you’re basically watching the top tier lay the groundwork for their own rulebook. This is the first real step toward the power leagues running the sport themselves and everyone else having to adjust.

you’re arguing past the point and sidestepping what I’m actually saying. . More bodies with real snaps absolutely help the overall unit -- nobody’s arguing against that. Obviously having more capable bodies helps the overall unit. The issue is that the spot we’re talking about wasn’t just “a little shaky,” it was the one area that kept getting blown up. That’s why they went out and grabbed a veteran with a ton of experience. Sure, the room is stronger. Sure, multiple guys can compete. But that doesn’t change the expectation for the guy they targeted to stabilize the position. If he doesn’t take it, that’s not some “look how many options we have now” moment - that’s the staff missing on a fix they actively went out and found. Depth helps the group. It doesn’t erase what they brought Seymore here to do.

I love these conversations, and I might be totally off here, but none of that really touches the point I was trying to make. More returning snaps across the line absolutely helps the overall unit --- Again, no argument there. But that doesn’t change the expectation at that spot. That position was the soft spot last season, and the staff went out and grabbed a veteran with a ton of experience specifically to stabilize it. If he doesn’t take that job, that’s not some “look how much deeper we are now” moment. That’s the staff missing on a targeted fix. Depth helps the room, sure. It doesn’t erase what they brought Seymore here to do.
