[Surly Official] Texas @ TCU Game Thread - 11am on ABC
If it's the play I think you're talking about, it looked like they recognized a screen and started pulling back to disrupt it. TCU does love screens in those situations.

[Surly Official] Texas @ TCU Game Thread - 11am on ABC
Joe Cook has another tweet covering more of TCUs announced starters. I know they have several questionable, but I'm completely unfamiliar with their roster. Anyone who knows the critical players who can update on status? Who are they actually getting back vs gamesmanship from fatterson?

It's almost as though...oh, fuck it. It's football. It's the internet. Have a beer, all will be well.

I think we win, but there are some valid reasons for uncertainty. We're vulnerable to big pass plays, but most of the offenses we've played have been unable to make us really pay (you could argue tech did, but it was too late). TCUs QB seems to be hot and cold, so might depend on which side he's on tomorrow. On offense, we've been in a lot of third and even 4th downs this year that we've converted. If the TCU starters who return tomorrow are healthy, this might be a solid defense and we likely won't have the same conversion %. Missing on a few of those early changes the dynamic of the game quickly. It was with a different QB, but the offense also hasn't played well on the road yet, so it would be nice to see that crossed off the list. The weather is always a wildcard. No clear advantage to either side, just introduces an element we haven't had to face yet this season. We'll have to see how it impacts our plan and execution.

Nothing is more aggy than having your "best moment" tied to your association with the achievements of others.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
The Jimbo to LSU thing is such a win win regardless of the outcome. If LSU isn't going to offer, Jimbo still used the risk that they might as leverage for an even more ridiculous contract from aggy. If LSU is going to offer, it won't be for more $, at best it will be equal and likely less. If Jimbo takes equal or less $ to leave aggy for LSU, we might all go the way of ghost of LL and actually OD on aggy tears. Even better, if he takes the LSU job that's probably better for us than LSU hiring a legit coach, and aggy will perpetually be a 7-5/8-4 team regardless of their coach so it doesn't matter. I don't think there's a chance in hell LSU actually offers, but any way you look at aggy loses here.

He actually convinced them that LSU was going to outbid them. It's one of the consequences of having no buyout, they know they're completely vulnerable if a better program actually wanted to offer. At this point Jimbo has proven much more adept at exploiting aggy's inferiority complex than exploiting sec defenses.

- Texas Football 2021 In-Season Thread: Can we get a redo?
Wanting to beat Texas, being mad that they couldn't beat Texas, and the PUF. That's pretty much it.- Jimbo 2022: Balls To The Face
What's really telling to me is that sark was willing to put the game on with recruits in his office. If aggy came back and performed well against a team that pounded us two weeks before, that's a bad look. Tells me sark had a lot of confidence in how that game would go and felt comfortable having it on. If that's not damning, I don't know what is.- Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
PK isn't exactly Manny Diaz. He's been at this for a long time at the p5 level and is well thought of as a defensive mind and coach. I'm glad that is true, because otherwise you'd have to be extremely skeptical of his hire based on early returns. The longevity of his prior success suggests give him a bit to get it running the way he wants and he'll produce results. I'm sure that's somewhat getting the right players and somewhat his players understanding and executing the scheme. I sure as hell hope it at least starts to pick up in the back half of the season. So far it has been hard to watch, even when we're actually limiting points.- Jimbo 2022: Balls To The Face
The best part is saying that the chatter about offensive struggles is contained only to message boards. Is the thinking that recruits who play football can't see the offense struggling when they watch the games or that they won't notice unless they read it on texags?- Jimbo 2022: Balls To The Face
It would be a real shame if the smoke and mirrors narrative they've been spinning about Jimbo changing the culture at aggy and how they're ready to challenge bama in the west started breaking down in the face of abysmal performances during what was supposed to be the year it all came together for them and recruits started jumping ship regardless of the bags they're handing out. It would just be so unfortunate to have to sit by and watch that happen.- TCU game week.
Yep. Real question is how healthy they actually are. If they're great players at 75%, it's kind of hard to predict how that plays out vs backups at 100%- Tom Herman Fired as UT Football Coach
If you think about our top impact skill players on offense over the last few games, at least half of them wouldn't be on the team if Herman was still the coach (Worthy, K Robinson), and the other half would probably be injured from poor s&c (jwhit) or only touching the ball 6-7 times/game in order to "bring him along slowly." Pretty scary to imagine Bijan still running second as a change of pace back to Ingram and Kai Money leading the team in receptions because Omeire, Smith, and Whittington would once again be sidelined with no other options at receiver.- Gary Patterson is a huge fat sweaty gaping pussy
This feels like the kind of "let's create dumb drama to distract from how shitty the performance of our football program is" situation you'd see from a sun belt or mountain west team. So, pretty on brand for fat Pat and tcu.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
Before we're all too quick to pass judgement, I'd like to remind y'all that many of you also flagged Javonne Shepherd as a character risk.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Where's O'Neal?- Tom Herman Fired as UT Football Coach
In the second half, I was definitely thinking it's a good thing sark actually means it when he says we won't let up on offense. Everything about the tech game followed a Tom Herman script except that we didn't turtle up when we got up a couple of touchdowns. Little doubt in my mind that if Herman had coached that game we would've ended up tied 35-35 in the 4th with tech having all the momentum from their comeback and us hoping that Dicker could save us with 48 yd attempt as time expired.- TCU game week.
Patterson is a good coach and knows their fans are obsessed with beating Texas. They had a bye just before smu and came out looking completely flat and unprepared. Recall that Arkansas looked completely flat against rice, and it has been stated here that they started prep for Texas during the rice week. While I get that smu is a dfw rival, Gary gets that his ceiling is winning the big 12, which beating smu does not help you do. All that to say, they will be ready for us and it's at their house. I say all of that is good. I want to play against a well coached team and see how we do. Were rice and tech just really that bad, or have we really improved that much? Hopefully tcu will help start to answer the question ahead of the rrs.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Hell, other than Florida last season, I've mostly heard them celebrate regular season losses. I'm not sure they've been as proud of any wins as they were of staying within 2 tds of bama and Clemson for a couple of years.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Yeah, but we all no Bama's defense isn't exactly up to Colorado's standard, soooooo...- [Game Thread] Texas vs. Tceh Gamethread - 11am on ABC
They've positioned it as bring in both briles Sr and Jr for a period so briles Sr can set things up and hand them off. They've said these things as though bringing in briles Sr only for a short transition period somehow makes it a less disgusting choice. Thankfully their admin will never, ever go for this. You fired your most successful coach ever for supposedly locking a kid in a dark closet for a little while. You can't really go from that to ignoring briles past. - Texas Football 2021 In-Season Thread: Can we get a redo?
