Serious question (after a few more beers of course).  What coaches would you actually want to replace Sark with if you had the choice?  was pondering this and there really aren’t many that I can think of.  He’s not perfect, but he’s not “spend $77 million to fire” bad at all.

    You need to relax dude.  Maybe catch a Gay Pride event in East Austin this weekend.

Don’t short the man.

 

he got to 10 wins so far. I was not a believer, but he’s managed it. Well done, Coach.

Well, actually, Matt, we've actually been encouraging Steve in his coaching.”

Was this Sark’s best called game at Texas outside of Alabama?

We need a moniker for 10 Win Steve. It is imperative if we’re to expect him to get to Eleven Win Esteban.

It's a real 10 win season, Jack.

Agreed. At the time I was WTF on that behind the line throw to Baxter that lost 3 yards…but replay showed it was a well designed play and Helm just totally whiffed on the block. Overall great balance, and of course, well executed

He called the first 3 quarters of KSU pretty damn well. It took MM throwing up Christmas gifts and PK going soft to let KSU back in it in Q4.

It has been a long time since I've felt this good about the trajectory of the program.  My daughter was in the womb during the 2010 Rose Bowl.  They've never seen Texas do anything but tantalize and then disappoint.   

Thank you Sark, thank you to all of those that did the hard work to build the infrastructure for NIL (please put in your Texas one contribution), thank you to all my fellow alumni who have suffered with me and thanks to this team, which while with it's flaws, has a lot of dog to them.  Those that needed to got in the motherfucka.  Those that are left will be big 12 champs for the last time.

Never going to be perfect. There will always be a couple bad calls. Oddly the opening script was terrible. Once Sark went through that, he was great

I mean no one has been on the outright fire Sark train. Even the most adamant “this guy ain’t it” believers such as myself plainly stated they expected him to last several seasons. Frankly Texas ended up with him because there wasn’t an obvious home run candidate.

I think it was so good because it was balanced and attacked different levels, not just deep shots forced. He needs to keep that mentality moving forward.

That person is the absolute king of negativity on the football board. Putting him on ignore a couple people of weeks or so back makes this forum easier to read. What an absolutely miserable way to go through life always looking for any reason to spew out some hate about a coach where it has clearly become personal to that poster to say the things it does.

Meh haters, will never enjoy the season as much as smart people do. Exhibit A is 2005.

It is like hedge betting against your team, yeah they won, but you are down 1k.

X-win Exteban, though I'm hoping for 13-win Ptheven.  Should we somehow manage 14 (or 15 in future seasons), we'll have to get creative.

From the Debby Downer contingent, while CTJ missed on the number of expected losses as well as the opponents that would be producing them, his prediction that we would lose to at least one of the listed is still in play.  Let's hope this isn't a "spike the ball before crossing the goal line" situation.

Sark impressed me with his play calling more than ever last night.

-The short yardage pass to Whittington was a great play call for an OC who has rammed it into a 9 man box on short yardage all year long.

-The play action pass to Helm was totally unexpected. Sark used that two tight end motion about 30 times against TCU and I think every time it was a run. Iowa State didn't see it coming.

-Ewers had so many wide open targets all night. 

-The run game without Brooks looked as good as ever.

Seems like it.  Quinn makes a difference in how the game 'looks' even throwing with a still-not-100% wing.  Yelling at the playsheet against the roaches may have helped, too.

Outstanding

between this, making the DTs captains, punking that loudmouth for the PAT block/score, holding Iowa State to 9 yards total rushing and beating them in their house, Sark really dragged his nuts all over Iowa State's face.

Now we gotta do the same or worse to Tceh.

Ten-win season. Attaboy, Steve!

Texas lost as a 4 point Favorite on a neutral field against its biggest rival. 
 

They will be heavily favored the rest of the year and lose 1 at the absolute most and that’s because it’s CFB and strange things happen. 

Keep that receipt and let’s compare notes at the end of the year. 
 

I kept that receipt like you asked. Ill accept your apology anytime @closetojumping Thanks for playing.

thank fucking goodness Yormark gave the team months worth of locker room material to work with. If Sark was that pissed over what Hufford said, I'd imagine Yormark has the team furious.

He said the regular season would end with one more loss at the most. There is one more game left in the regular season. His prediction came true.

Guess I need to pay closer attention.

Still, if it was me, I'd hold off on this sort of thing until after Friday. I'm a superstitious sort when it comes to sports sometimes.

I think it's ok to be a bit humble and admit that you aren't invincible. If the guy was claiming we wouldn't lose a game going forward and was asking for 'adulations a week before, then that'd get the superstitious part of me worried. But as is, he technically called this moment, so he can gloat IMO. Nothing we do will actually affect the game, and I doubt the team needs any reminder or motivation to beat tech and shove it in yormark's face.

There’s some “pragmatic” douche bags in here who will say they can find that same type of stretch with late Mack or herman and point to how it doesn’t mean anything lol. It’s almost not even worth trying to be positive on surly, there’s more “critical” assholes than actual fans of Texas. It’s embarrassing. I promise you somebody is finding ways to poke holes in this iowa state win as we speak. I hope sark defies all the odds and has a run equivalent to Royal! 

You probably can.

 

you cannot, however find a 11-1 (so far season).

 

Sarkisian has outcoached every Texas coach since 2009 Mack Brown. He’s proved me and a lot of other doubters wrong. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong. Well done, Coach Sark!

If Seven Loss Steve pulls off the conference title, I’ll retire all derogatory nicknames until he loses to a 2-4 Arkansas team without a head coach next season.

Take the loss, Pussy

It's a joke don't get bent out of shape 

 

At least he confined the 4th down chicanery to when Arch was in which was both understandable and desired by/for the fans. The only real complaint is we still blow ass in the red zone but yesterday continually taking the Bert points and not ceding bad field position absolutely was a positive as we overwhelmed Tech. If we just keep up that strategy even with bad officiating we should overwhelm Oklahoma State too then we will be free of B12 refs except for future CFP games where we are not playing a B12 team.
