That's something, isn't it?

Its nerve wrecking.  Haven't had every possession of the game mean something this late in the year in some time. Feels good to have a winning competitive team. Great teams find ways to win. KSU has always been a tough opponent.  Texas!!! 

It is, but damn if I don't feel like this team is 5-4 or some shit. Nine games in and I still I have no idea if we are going to win a game or not. 

I figured that K-State would be close and possibly a loss because... well, look at the past decade. Still, I don't have our team figured out at all. 

They are good but don't put people away?

Nah this was a disappointing win so our record should actually be 6-3 because of it

With this win, Sark gets to 7-win average at Texas. Hopefully, we get to 8+ average this year. 

Yep, season has been a success so far, and it needs to be since we have really good DTs which will be hard to replace.

I literally just texted someone “weird to be 8-1 when you feel like we‘re actually 6-3 but the record don’t lie”

It’s has been a very long time since we have been 8-1 or better at this point and I am going to enjoy it!

For the Sark haters, we lose today 100 times out of 100 under post 2009 Mack, Charlie Strong, and Tom Herman. 
 

Just get Quinn back and keep winning, and we’ll see. 

Sark:  I’m an overachiever.  What can I say?

8-1 feels really good.  Nice to have a team where when someone fucks up, other guys are there to pick them up.  

A win is a win but we’ve been skating on a thin line for 2 of the past three games. We best not sleep on Iowa State in what is likely to be a night game in the freezing cold up there. 
 

Proud that the guys keep punching and fighting. Basically lost the turnover battle. Sark still doing SOS (same Old Sark shit), Maalik didn’t have a great overall game, lots of ref fuckery and we won a tough game that I posted many times would go to OT/come down to the wire. We escaped with a win and it’s a good thing this game has been hyped up all week long and KState was ranked because it helps with the committee. But the way we fell apart today was scary. Proud of the win as always but we still have TCU (think we will win east like BYU) Iowa State and TT. Iowa State can capitalize on some of the shit that happened today and KState almost did.

 

A win is a win and it’s great to be 8-1. Hookem

Sure sure! I think the horned toads can’t really do much against us but I see your overall point. Checkers right now. Not chess. Can think only one move and game ahead.

The thing for me is this—

This is a game we would have 100% lost in the last 13-14 seasons. Sure, I was angry we gave up a 27-7 lead with 4 min left in the 3rd, and you can be angry that Maalik isn’t the best QB right now, but one thing you can’t be mad at is this team doesn’t seem to give up easily. I saw the defense pounding their chest telling everyone to get a stop during K-State’s final drive of regulation. It’s little shit like that that we didn’t see before, at least I don’t think I did. 

We may not make the playoff and we may not win the last B12 title, but damn I think we can say Sark has changed the culture here for the better. 

8-1,9-1, 10-1, whatever ... gimme a conf championship and a cfp appearance, can't believe its been so long!

I like Sark long term. There's minor fuckery here and there, but the foundation looks solid to me. I think in a year or two the offense will be able to execute his system better.

Yep. TCU is 8-3 against Texas since joining the Big12. They obviously can't be overlooked

I want to agree with this assessment. No question that recruiting is at a high level. But Sark’s in-game decisions give us all concern.

I don’t know. K state was a missed XP away from winning in regulation. If Will Howard just looks to his right on 3rd down in OT he had a wide open receiver at the goal line. But as they say “if my grandma had wheels she’d have been a bike”. I think we ran into a team with a worse coaching staff and a uniquely shitty QB and we were good enough to make it catch up to them. We used to not be. 

I'd rather win ugly than lose.

To be honest, the team's problems are right where we thought they would be: Young QBs and OL making mental errors, and a slow and shallow secondary that's vulnerable when we don't pressure the QB. Only OU has been fortunate enough to win when all three of those are at their worst. RBs have been better than most expected (but not me... knew Brooks was a stud).

My biggest complaint is that things fell off the most in the one game where they shouldn't have. My second-biggest is take the fucking points, kick the damn FG!

Deadshank and I discussed wives over a nice bbq lunch yesterday. We have determined we are all married to the same woman. It’s a hive mind. So do what you got to do, but you will end up in the same spot.

That's a totally fair statement. 

I wonder, however, with respect to these in-game decisions - how different they may look when he has a team that is fully recruited by him and has had the benefit of his sustained coaching?  I'm thinking & hoping that we'll see some very positive variation peak Alabama type of performance that occurred during his tenure there.  My mental & heart health surely hopes so:)

Maybe but you still take the points when a FG adds another drive required for your opponent to tie or take the lead. This is especially true in the second half with how the new clock rules impact the last 6 minutes.

If we were up by 6 instead of 3, they probably punch it in for the win in regulation.  

Maybe joking?

I don’t know that he’s changed the culture.  I am afraid it might be the same culture with a vastly upgraded roster.  The talent level of the average player on this team is as good as it’s been since at least the Colt years (VY for oline) and yet we’re still trying our damnedest to lose to teams with vastly less talent.  The ugly we saw in this game is no longer an isolated, outlying sample from this team.  It’s happened in multiple games across both QBs.
