Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
Haven't seen him play a down, but I can tell just from his headshot he'll probably be a first round pick. Gotta keep winning.

Ah Oregon, the epitome of "no flash, rooted in substance."

I've seen it before, but every time I'm just stunned by how fucking pathetic that is.

Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
I didn't like the Sark hire when we made it and have been down on him for most of the last 2 seasons. One win doesn't bring the program "back," but I have more hope now than I've had in a long time. That said, what separates good coaches from great one is the week-to-week preparation. If Sark truly has that focus and discipline, our days of wandering the desert may finally be over.

Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
At this rate Shedeur will probably go pro after the season. And I think his other son is a senior.

Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
Maybe in a pre-NIL world. Deion is a big draw, but people like money. They'll have to pony up to really compete at the highest level, and I don't think they can. If he gets an offer from a blue blood I think he's gone.

Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
I said during the offseason Nebraska should go after Deion. It would take that kind of hire to resuscitate that program, and he would've gone. The perfect opportunity and they blew it. Oh well, fuck em.

Call Your Shot - 2022 College Football Playoff Teams
No one would've missed them because they're Cincinnati. It still would've been wrong for them to not have a shot. Hindsight is 20/20.

Call Your Shot - 2022 College Football Playoff Teams
Cincinnati was the only undefeated team in the country, with a win over a very good ND. They deserved a shot, along with Bama and Michigan. UGA didn't, but a 3-team playoff doesn't really work. If you don't win your conference (or division for that matter), I don't think you're deserving of a national championship. I think it should be more about who had the best overall season, not who's hot at the end. But I realize the landscape has changed, and it's basically becoming NFL lite. I just don't like it.

Call Your Shot - 2022 College Football Playoff Teams
This is the rare year where the old BCS would be preferable. Georgia and Michigan are the only deserving teams. In an ideal world, they would just adjust the playoffs at the end of each season to include the minimum number of worthy teams, but obviously that'll never happen with the $ involved.

Rapists @ Texas 11AM ESPN
Is this where Campbell supplants Hutson?

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Nah, it's all because of Jimbo's charming personality and aggy's enrollment numbers.

It's not the ultimate goal, but winning the Sugar Bowl was an enjoyable moment at least.
-
This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Once again, Aggy has been paying top dollar for recruits since going all in on Jimbo. It has nothing to do with enrollment numbers (where are Florida International's 5 stars?) or coaching stability (how about Iowa?). They've been buying recruits dude. That's it.
-
This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Well Thatguy has repeatedly made the argument that our problem is firing coaches to quickly, not hiring shitty ones. And whatever penalty there is, great coaches seem to quickly overcome it.
-
This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
So who should we have kept around, lazy Mack, Charlie, or Herman? And Aggy has been paying top dollar for recruits long before NIL.
- F cancer.

It's not the head coach that is the problem
There are Bama fans who want Saban gone. Seriously. Hasn't seemed to affect their on-field results.
-
It's not the head coach that is the problem
Sark isn't "using" NIL; NIL was built and will operate with or without him. And whatever Herman was doing, it obviously wasn't enough. We're clearly much better at NIL than the old bag game, which is a huge advantage to Sark. Too bad he sucks.
-
It's not the head coach that is the problem
NIL is a whole different level than whatever $100 handshakes Herman was giving out. We're talking hundreds of thousands (some cases millions) of dollars. Point is, recruiting will be fine with or without Sark.

Couldn't be worse than what we're seeing with Ewers. Hell, Casey Thompson looked like a stud the few snaps he played under Herman. Maybe Tom actually knew a thing or two about coaching QBs.

Herman without NIL was better than Sark.

He's a real dandy boy.

There's nothing Sark could've done guys. We just don't have the players. But once he gets his guys in here, look out; we might be able to score more points on TCU than Tarleton State.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
He has a major second half/adjustment problem, and he doesn't know how to fix it. Anyone denying that at this point has their head in the sand. He's also nearly 50 years old with 20+ years of coaching experience. There's no light bulb waiting to come on. Our only hope is that he can accumulate enough talent to cover up his deficiencies, and I'm not sure that's even possible.
