SOSA Pom Squad — UTSA Bands

Really looking forward to Sarkisian's efforts to hype Traylor and UTSA into a talented and hungry team that is a very dangerous opponent for us to play with all the rat poison our players will be dealing with this week. 

What is this bullshit?

It shouldn’t be this complicated to try to watch a press conference. 

The LHN app needs to figure out when the press conference actually will be. 

Here we go, playing the LHN press conference lotto again. Good grief

It opened up for me on the LHN app with the graphic. I guess he'll be along shortly. It just sorta drops in when he sits down.

He should admit that we will be scouting their team to see if they have any more players who can play at this level.

I don't recall any particular plays from him against Michigan, but I do remember seeing him on the field quite a bit.

Anwar with a surprisingly good question about the philosophical shift from 'big bodied' WR's to smaller faster guys.  Sark talks about the shift away from pro-style to a more wide open style - specifically the desire to throw the ball to guys who are moving vs. standing still targets.  Speed more important than a WR that can win a physical 1 on 1 rep.  Sark said the one year with John Ross at Washington opened his eyes to what pure speed could do.

Question I would ask would be- Coach, between utsa, ulm and an actual bye week, you have 3 extra weeks to start putting in game plans for actual opponents, how are you going to divide that time between OU and UGA?

Didn’t he rag doll their RT at least once?

Sarkisian mentioned that he’d been holding the edge against the run and that teams are going to have to try something different. I inferred that he felt like that would provide even more opportunities. 

Edited by Doc Daneeka

Did Sark mention if Blue would get any PT this week? Because I sort of hope he doesn't. Unleash Gibson, Gardner and whoever. 

Didn’t say. Said Niblett needs to step up more like Wisner and Gibson, so I infer that Blue won’t do much, if anything. 

Love the big win, didn’t love the weak play calling the second half and scoring only 7. I would say it’s been sark biggest weakness as a coach and I would love if someone would ask why the overly conservative approach to play calling in the second half.

You mean ask why we took the air out of the ball up 25 in the second half, on the road at Michigan? Does that really need an answer?

Playing clock-sucking low-risk football against an opponent that can't move the football and kept shooting themselves in the foot seemed to work exactly the way it was supposed to.

Sark has routinely struggles in the second half this is known. I knew even asking a tough question would get backlash, it’s surly. Read the game thread, literally everyone was like wtf is this playcalling in the second half.  But we will see by the ou game.

No thank you, and for reasons like that. 

Ok so you’re saying the play calling the second half wasn’t conservative? Lmao. Ok. Michigan wasn’t even that good. I didn’t like the play calling and felt we took the foot off the gas.

Dude, if you are citing a game thread as support for your analysis of the situation, you have already lost the argument.

It was. He did. That’s not the same as “struggling.” It shouldn’t be this hard.

Brother, that Michigan offense was not coming back and Sark knew it. They actually held onto the ball for a majority of the 3rd quarter, only to come away with just 3 points, getting picked and a turnover on downs. Sark didn't need to risk anything further. Not up 25. He trusted his defense to close it out.

It was deliberate. There’s your answer. We did it on purpose and it worked. Anyone with half a tit knows we could have inserted ourselves up their asses several more times.

True, but it’s rarely so stark as when the guy who predicted a 50-7 win says, “oh, fuck, Sark, this isn’t looking good at all” with a third and eight on the opening possession.

This.  I'd  love to hear the laminations of their women as much as the next,  but the only way Mich was going to win that game in the second half was if we allowed them back in with short fields.

A sliver of nipple. 

If Sark would have run it up in the 2nd half and won like 45-12, we'd have posters complaining about risking injuries, it's a long season, "not classy," etc.

I think he did the right thing. It's a looooong season. Shut it down and move on.

How nice to have confidence in your defense that we can just shut down the O and win easily no matter what. Says a lot.

I understand why Sarkisian did what he did. 

I’d also have understood letting Manning run the game plan at full speed against a legit defense. 

It's amazing we've gone from "fire Sark" to "don't question Sark".  

 

Why are we pretending the execution in the second half wasn't great at times.  All the starters were in and passes were still being thrown so it's not as if we had shut it down and just running up the gut every play.

Three passes after the 31st point.

I don't know. You told the story so well, I laughed out loud. Hopefully, you aren't "the guy" but now sober.
