Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
It's not just about having the TE. Having 2 TEs invites more defenders into the and makes things more complex for the OL (more gaps and potential rushers to account for). Beyond that, the play action plays are slow developing, Arch often turned his back to the defense, and we often didn't have any hot routes. If you have a mistake prone OL you want to spread it out and give them a lighter box to go against. And if you don't trust your OL you want let the QB keep his eyes down field and have options to get rid of the ball early if there is a free rusher. It was bizarre seeing Sark still try to run these 12 personnel play action deep shots in week 9 of the season. Even against A&M almost every play in 12 personnel was a waste and a good number of our failed drives failed for that exact reason.

I think as bad as the OL play was, most of the responsibility is Sark trying to jam a square peg into a round hole with the scheme. Whenever we spread the field, let Arch keep his eyes down field, and ran routes at various depths to dump the ball to we were fine. Instead, we insisted on slow developing play action with Arch turning his back to the defense and having only 2 guys running routes. These plays were an automatic sack the entire year yet Sark kept game planning this shit game after game. Basically we ran the Mack Brown 2010 power run offense even though the 2009 Colt McCoy passing offense was good enough to play for a national championship with an even worse OL.

OU Recruiting 2026: Burnt Vegetables
Is it a real thing that Texas is actually trying to follow these idiotic rules with NIL Go / Clearinghouse BS? IMO it's crazy for us to follow that when it is blatantly obvious that others are not and there is absolutely no evidence that it can be enforced.

Parker Livingstone
Feels like Sark has had enough of every random role player walking in his office and asking for $1M, and Parker got made into an example. If that's the case well done IMO. Guy was a decent #4 WR but that doesn't mean you pay him like a #2 WR. Made that mistake last year.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2027: Elko's Cholesterol - Not Great, Not Terrible
Given that binding long term contracts are not a thing, I think paying for high schoolers is generally dumb. Like we pay significant money for a Justus Terry type to sit on the bench, and then he is free to transfer after a year of development? It makes no sense to give any significant amount to a guy who won't contribute immediately. The Tech and Indiana approach is obviously a better way to go in this crappy system.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
Would love for Jeff Banks to leave. Fuck that dude. Can't stand our return team taking it out of the end zone for a holding penalty (instead of a free 25 yard line) and our punt return team going for idiotic block attempts instead of letting the best returner in CFB return the kick. The guy is an an idiot.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
Yea I always wondered about this. There was a kind of revisionist history that he had a great freshman year but really as a runner he was not particularly impressive and a huge downgrade from J Brooks. It was impressive that he was so good in pass protection as a true frosh and he did have good hands out of the backfield, but I never saw evidence of him being a star RB. Not portaling before this season was a strange choice.

what makes you say that? Wisner is one dimensional (only outside zone) but he is a good player who dominates against certain teams when the OZ is clicking. Definitely would not want to lose him. Definitely need an RB or two who can actually break a tackle, though.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Fanduel odds moved from +2500 to +1800... I still think we can make it for the sake of preserving quality OOC. It's going to be terrible for the sport if there is zero serious conference mixing in the regular season. ND needs to be OUT. The wins are just too light. And it's bizarre that we are ranked behind OU as well.

Honestly the path of least resistance for the committee is leaving both ND and Miami out. ND simply doesn't have enough wins of consequence. Weak schedule where they lost their two hardest games. Nice looking team in terms of margin of victory but not enough results on the field. Miami was fantastic in the OOC but missing the CCG in a very weak ACC knocks them out. Then the wildcard is BYU who can potentially take a spot if they beat Tech. Leaving us out will be an incredible fuck you to interesting OOC games. The networks are going to absolutely hate that outcome.

Sark got the wrong takeaways from Ohio State winning an NC via "retention". They spent money bringing back players who could have been NFL draft picks. We spent money bringing back players that haven't done jack on a college football field.

a Disservice to our sport - let's up the ante - decline the bowl game
I don't know about the bowl game but we should absolutely cancel all serious OOC games immediately.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
DKR is widely variable based on which section you are sitting in. Some parts feel fairly modern other parts feel ancient.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
No RB in the portal was very curious to me given Baxter was coming off a serious surgery. On the OL, everyone just assumed the experienced program guys would be good. Banks is one thing but nobody expected to get serious drop offs from losing Cam Williams, Hayden Connor, and Jake Majors...

I'm just a chump doing about $100/month to Texas one. I turned that shit off for football and won't turn it back on until we have a more professional operation on the moneyball / budget allocation front. Sark half assing the GM role while half assing the HC and OC roles as well doesn't do it for me.
