If you didn't catch the youtube discussions, they were really good-I recommend checking them out. Two of them in particular from yesterday i thought hit the nail on the head. Special Teams: Conventional wisdom says that ST should either be neutral or win you a game here and there, but it should never lose you a game. I just can't wrap my head around how problematic our ST are. So many errors and costly mistakes. I still haven't heard of an explanation for Sark himself or anybody about how or if this issue will be addressed. I don't like the automatic "fire the coach" rhetoric, but I don't know what options there are. Sark is the CEO and I am also concerned he isn't addressing it coupled with the fact that Sark and Banks, I am guessing are friends. As incompetent as Banks has the ST currently (as I have mentioned-Charlie Strong level of ST incompetence), it is ultimately what standards Sark allows. Sark's offenses inability to handle the blitz. Unfortunately, there is history here, so I am not buying the "blame Arch" crowd and to a lesser extent, not blaming OL either. Jeff and CJ did a nice job on this subject. But, Sark's play calling: slow developing plays in the midst of the storm, Arch getting pressured and the receivers that are open-still not looking for the ball. Sark needs to give his offense a chance. Teams will continue to blitz and Texas will continue to fail on offense if this continues. Even SW TX ST and UTSA had success in overmatching the OL and getting pressure. Pretty frustrating considering we are supposed to have the top offensive mind in the nation-even though for the last 5 years we haven't had a top 10 scoring offense or total offense in YPG. The first one was Coffee and Football yesterday: Coach Shipley was a guest and he was asked about what he felt were one or two of his biggest concerns (paraphrasing). He had addressed it and Bobby and Gerry also weighed in. Really good discussion and I don't think I can summarize everything and put it in proper context-worth the time to watch it. The second video was with CJ and Jeff. It addressed specifically the blitzing. It was a fairly short video, but it addressed the glaring issues.

I would love it to be true for him more so than for filling Texas’ backup LB issues

Raleek needs to apologize for his disgusting stupidity. He saw first hand how costly Simmons’ penalty cost the team and then he risks another penalty with his post TD celebration

This behavior is not exclusive to Texas fans, but this statement is sick.

100%. My memory may be a little hazy, but it has last year or year before i believe on an onsidee kick with Wingo flubbing it. Take him out and put Lockett in for that.

The day the lose these deranged mental case juveniles and get real cheerleaders is the day they will have a legit shot to be meaningful.

Yep. But, I am still pissed that Sark gave cj the nod over Brooks. Kind of like Herman’s obsession with Kyle Porter over Chris Warren

Not a bad week for CFB with some undefeateds at stake #22 Coogs at #13 Tech(-7.5): I like Tech to win and cover, but man, I do have a lot of confidence in Willie Fritz. It is doable, but I will go with Tech UNC at Clemson(-3.5): Both unranked, but interesting because Clemson/Dabo could be the beginning of a spiral. #16 SMU at 23 Louisville(-1.5): Don't know, my brain says Louisville, but SMU could be legit MSU at S Carolina: both 2-0, I will go with the hot hand QB at MSU, even though Beamer the better coach Florida at Auburn: Yawn. I won't really be watching but, Florida is the on everybody's radar. I'll take Fla MSU at #3 ND(-29.5): Both undefeated-ND Rolls #7 LSU(-3) at #8 Ole Miss: Gameday will be there and I'll take LSU all the way. Who do you guys have? Who will you be watching?

Nah!

A lot of funny sh”t from many on these boards tonight, but this one made me laugh the loudest. Post of the night Had both truth and humor😂

One of the dumbest 4n1 calls i have ever seen

Are these refs going to call an effing holding or will it do whatever. I have seen plenty holding already

The portal seems to always have a decent QB available. gooners, more than anybody have taken advantage and excelled in it. Mayfield, Murry, Hurts and now Mateer. I could make an argument that it is better than bringing a QB into your system from HS. Loot at the last several national champions and playoff teams-all transfer QBs

I was not aware of this. To what players are you referring?

This has been a good game. It is good to have a quality college game on a Monday night.

SMU keeps overrunning the pass rush on losing contain. How many times will this continue. Reminds me of Manny _iaz defenses against BYU.

If I am Norvell and as desperate as FSU will be this season, I would run Daniels more and RPO more. I have been impressed with his toughness thus far.

Wisner is a productive back, imo. Not explosive, but productive and he doesn't turn the ball over. But, yea, why did FSU go after him?

nice defensive stand by smoo.

lol, wide right-something FSU knows all too well. The two time transfer misses a 37yarder.

I know it is early in the season, but neither he nor C. Clark have any meaningful snaps. I just don't understand why they would leave Texas for the same back up role they both serve at their new team.

Just saw Daniels, FSU QB, make two very physical runs. Stiff armed a SMU defender to the ground earlier and just ran over another SMU defender for a TD.

will we see #5 tonight?

No catches for Ffrench in the box score

Yep, it looked a little dirty by #44 in how he rolled him over at about the 11:40 mark of 2nd qtr. kind me reminded me of when that TCU player gave Jonathan Brooks an extra twist on his leg causing Brook’s injury in 2023
