No idea what the young missionary put in it…pretty sure it was sprite, a digitally measured shot of bourbon (he said they didn’t have rye) and half a fruit salad and no bitters. Tasted like the 7&7s I made in high school. But I said rye dammit!

They had a great bar where we were drinking Spotted Cow. Great beer. After the game we went back and someone ordered me an Old Fashioned. I took a sip and spit it out. The server asked me why I didn’t like it? I said it’s simple, who the hell puts soda in an Old Fashioned??? They took it back and just brought me another Spotted Cow.

If you’re fired, w/o, cause, your contract is paid out and benefits stay intact. And in college sports getting fired really means nothing as long as your name isn’t associated with any king of scandal. 9 hours ago, closetojumping said: You are the first person on this site to actually touch on why PK was “fired” and didn’t resign. The people clutching their pearls over Sarkisian running down Kwiatkowski after his departure may never understand what Sarkisian actually did for the guy. I thought this was pretty obvious. PK being terminated is actually far better for him financially. His $2mm contract runs through 2026, so he's due over $2mm and has access to whatever medical, dental, etc. benefits he had at Texas (through COBRA or otherwise). If he's dumb enough to say, "Fuck you, Sark! You cannot fire me! I quit!" or the like, then we really do not want him around. I probably would not have commented about his performance and/or the need for oversight in a press conference. "I decided to make a change to a defensive style and philosophy more aligned with my preferences. I thank PK for his contributions and please join me in welcoming Will Mushcamp back to Texas." It is great that Sark was transparent, but "was distracted by the defense and could not focus on Arch" (paraphrased) is not a great look. Edited to add - this is a great change and upgrade.

Like all good Fucking Illinois Bastards (Fibs) I got a lake home to get away for the weekends. My first small town Wisconsin bar experience was like traveling to a different country. Everyone puts whatever cash they have on the counter and the bartender takes from the pile until the money is gone. No one even thinks about stealing the money and the bartender is weirdly honest with how much they take. Spotted Cow is a fantastic local beer. Fried cheese curds are served without you even asking. There is no better college football watching experience. My local bar changes one of the TV’s to the Texas game when I walk in without me asking. Even the most shit faced patron just wants to hug you and say nice things to you. I thought it was a Utopia I had stumbled on. Until the old fashioned. Terrifying. I guess every place has to have a fatal flaw.

You would think it’s obvious, but people around here whining about the firing clearly don’t understand how it works. I’d also bet that PK and Sark were in discussions about this, and it wasn’t a blindside “firing”. 100% agree about the other statement. He should have just stopped after philosophical differences. Reasons for firing are great, excuses for firing are cringeworthy. The latter was Sark acting like a Blue Falcon OC, and not the HC of the program. Ultimately if he fails, that will be why…lack of separation of conflicting duties.

He didn’t fire anyone due to pressure and he won’t be doing that any time soon. People are unhappy with his off field transgressions and he knows it, but he’s not being threatened due to performance. The guy just went to two semifinals and this year they were a candidate for the playoffs even with 3 losses. Coaches not on the hot seat replace coordinators all the time and you guys are fucking clowns for arguing otherwise. thank you. all of the, "this is Sark playing his last card" takes being posted on the football board right now + the genuine belief by some over there that he is really on the hot seat are mind numbingly stupid and make me question the intelligence of this fanbase. you can count the number of programs in the entire country who have outperformed what Sark has done at Texas over the past 3 seasons on one hand and you wouldn’t need every finger. Yet, we have people who won't shut the fuck up about Texas firing him. it's embarrassing.

Sunday at 05:19 PM3 days Whats the definition of hot seat? If he has a repeat of this season next year then I think there's a better than 50% chance he's done. I just don't think anyone believes that is going to happen, and I don't think Muschamp would jump on board if Sark had half support. I think we are about to see us make significant upgrades in the portal and I think most can see that Sark recovered from his various fuck ups and has the ship pointed in the right direction. Combine that with his skins on the wall from 23 and 24 and I think there's a clear argument that its much smarter to double down for Arch's last season then formally inject doubt in the whole operation. I also think the "hot seat" works differently in this era. You do what you can to convince everyone your coach's seat isnt even warm because you want everyone to feel confident about investing. If Sark squanders Arch and his offense continues to underperform then I think one night he will go to sleep with his seat ice cold and wake up to find its covered in napalm. I wouldn't bet on that scenario at all though. I think 26 is a major bounce back.

Yes. This is the NIL era, and if Sark misses the playoffs two years in a row because of his own incompetence then I think the $$$ will replace him. I dont think its going to happen though. Sark messed up bad this season and still almost made the playoff. I also think it would be nearly impossible to replicate the shit show surrounding Sark's personal life, but who knows. The guy is a self destructive fuck up and has been for a long time. I think we will field a better roster all around in 26, have a strong campaign, and move forward with Sark for the Dia Bell cycle.
Sunday at 07:26 PM3 days The only way we remove SS after a 9-3 season is with an embarrassing scandal or a no brainer hire being available and in the bag. In other words, don’t be silly.

The conversation will be do we want to commit millions more to this guy or do we want to start this next cycle with a new name of our choosing? I don't see whats silly about that considering we are sitting at home this year watching a bunch of teams we would most likely beat. I'd bet we are top 3 preseason again next year.
