2025 CFP National Championship - Ohio State vs. Notre Dame
Fucking this right here. Every other blue blood has had an extended walk in the desert. We've had multiple. Bama had down years, even OU and USC. Nebraska is shit now. But fucking Ohio State is always ALWAYS at the top. They are so due for about five disaster coaching hires in a row and I will bask in the glory of their shittiness when it finally shows up.

Supposedly Brigham Young sent a bill to the U.S. Government for the care of those kids after they were re-homed back to their families. There's regular hubris, and then there is "I'm a prophet of God" hubris.- American Primeval - Netflix
I know, right?!! They also never showed anyone shit in the entire series! Do they really expect us to believe that people didn't shit in the wild west?? Totally unrealistic and required too much suspension of disbelief, 1/10 would not recommend.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Nary a post about the coaches putting Worthy in a situation where he couldn't succeed, like you know catching with a busted hand. For QE, it was the coaches who failed to set him up for success, and the OL who failed him the running game, and the WR who didn't bail him out. For X, it was lack of effort.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Yes to the first part, no to the 2nd. His elite talent is accuracy on screen throw placement and the intermediate throw up to 25-30 yards. He's never been a long ball guy and he doesn't have a Favre arm to loft it 65 yards in the air. Even back to HS the long bombs he connected on were largely jump balls.- Texas 2025 Roster
Niblack needs to block better. Same could be said for Helm and he improved although was still poor. If Niblack can make a similar leap to Helm in the offseason he could be great.- Texas O-line talk
We have skilled players in the o-line but we lack nasty players. I want some nasty.- 2024 Season Thread of sadness.
What double sucks about this loss and multiplies it is that ND is really beatable. I believe we would be favored by 8-10 vs them.- 2024 Season Thread of sadness.
Will never happen, too much $$$ in those games.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
We should get that OTHER top 3 play caller to help Quinn. "Self-sack QE" can take his talents elsewhere. Hook 'em and good luck.!!!- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
His last play will always be a fumble leading to six to lose the game. The other guy got it done, he did not. Thanks for your service. hook em and bye.- Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo

The Mack Brown East-Side Piss Trough @ DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium- The running game vs ASU. What went wrong?
The definition of a Safety's job is to diagnose and cover both. If Helm had peeled out into a up the middle route, the Safety would have taken him. You're correct that the fail here is Helm's in blocking (the chip wasn't required) but that run still went for 4. There are plenty of other failed runs to diagnose, this is actually not terrible.- The running game vs ASU. What went wrong?
Your definition of "in the box" is too liberal. There are 6 in the box, not 7. The Safety is nine yards off the LOS, which is not in the box. The definition of "in the box" is a defender within 5 yards of the LOS, framed by the tackles. Here, here, here - not link picking those are literally the first three results on google. Now if you want to argue that the Safety reads run and then comes into the box post-snap to make the tackle, OK. But he 100% does not start "in the box" and we start with six blockers for six in the box.- 2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
Good video...didn't know OSU was the #1 outside zone run defense in the country. Yikes.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Every coach has a flaw, even Saban (not being able to adapt to the NIL era), he just got out before it really nailed him. Unfortunately for Herman, his innate unchangable flaw was that he was an arrogant asshole. That arrogance led him to believe he was smarter than he was (mensa), which bled into recruiting, game planning and management, and booster relations. It's not an uncommon trait in business either with people who have a rocket ship trajectory early in their career, they start hearing how they are "HiPo" and getting high on their own supply. Herman needed a good humbling, and he sure got it after getting knocked down to FIU or wherever he just got fired from. Thing is, he actually isn't as terrible as many think, and he could have a decent 2nd act to his career if he can stay hungry and humble and build it up, kinda like Sark did after his fall from grace.- 2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
Wouldn't the traditional counter to a D-line that jumps the gaps and is super aggressive slanting into us be the RB screen? I know I've seen us throw a few of those this year and they've gone for good gains. Where was that?- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
While QE isn't a scrambler by any means, I really hope we add that wrinkle in a couple of times vs. OSU. It was there for the taking vs. ASU and would help keep their ends from crashing on run plays and slow up the LB blitz just a step - which is all Blue needs.- 2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
Howard's ceiling isn't as high as QE's but his floor is higher. They can actually run the ball usually. And their defense is very good as well. Their safeties are ELITE which would be the best position group on the field if not for their receivers who are freakishly good and catch everything. For Texas to win this, we have to do a few things all at once, which we haven't done much this year: Plus 2 turnover battle Consistently run block and go on at least two to three 7+ minute drives 75% Redzone TDs No negative ST plays (no FG misses <45 yards, no bringing the ball out on a kickoff 5 yards deep and starting on our 10 yard line, no getting fooled AGAIN on a fake punt) Basically we have to be able to play downhill run the ball offense and control the clock like ASU did to us. That's the path to victory. Unfortunately it's also not our identity at all, which leaves the other path, which is rocky: shootout. We may have the horses on Defense to do the shootout path but I don't think we do on Offense to consistently score enough. If they score 35+ we are in big big trouble. If they score >21 in the first half we're in big trouble, because you know we piss ourselves in the 3rd Q. We need to stone the run, sack Howard and turn him over, get some timely turnovers and ST plays be be up by 10-14 at the half and then pray that we don't give it away. Blame QE, Sark, whoever we just don't have the killer instinct right now and we play up/down to the competition.- Texas vs tOSU will be one of the most hyped games in the history of Television
Zero chance it ends there. OSU should be -7.- tOSU ain't want this smoke
The type of offense that kills Ohio State is smashmouth ball control. Like ASU or Michigan. Not us. We can win but should be underdogs and will need to win the turnover battle badly. I love Texas but we should be +7 in this game.- Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
All fine and good but you have to have a plan to deal with him too, because with a narcissist it's never enough. If you give him all of the above he will be thinking "yeah but why didn't they give me XYZ?" And worse, I'm sure he still has supporters, friends, patrons, boosters, BMDs in the system and he can pour poison in their ears in private all the easier the closer he gets to the program. All it takes is him attending one practice, then he has a conversation w/ a big donor about how "oh I saw something that I didn't like or wouldn't have done it that way" and pretty soon the BBs are falling out of the box and someone like Sark or CDC has to start working to put them back in. Maybe let's not spill them to begin with.- Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
Are you serious or is this "amazing interview" thing a bit? Even if you take away all the hysterics about Mack and his potential toxic impact on Texas going forward and just look at Burton's interview in a vacuum, it was mediocre to below average. The questions were fawning, softball and leading the witness ("Mack, would you agree that..."), the answers were shallow with little-to-no follow up ("Sark is doing great," "You need great NIL to compete today," "I keep in touch with former players on Facebook"), and there was zero balanced examination of the bad side of Mack's tenure as you would expect in an "good" interview. I was going to give Burton half-credit for his "which loss stung the most" question, but he loses it when he jumps over and answers it for Mack, and then Mack predictably uses it as an opportunity for excuse making and throwing players under the bus. I don't blame Burton for this. He's not a professional interviewer, that's a skill. And Mack probably wouldn't be there if he was going to face anything other than softball questions. Maybe, as you said, a softball interview with an over-the-hill coach from a decade ago will generate hundreds of thousands of viewers and that makes it worth it to OTF. But don't piss in our face and say it's raining by calling this a "good fucking interview" when it clearly is anything but. - American Primeval - Netflix
