July 20Jul 20 Hopefully Baker, Robertson/Cruz, and Neto/Hutson don't get totally overwhelmed by OSU and UGA.

His presentation, personality, and such make for a great YT personality for a “film guy” Austin is a Georgia guy and I do appreciate him calling out the bullshit from all the other UGA 9.95s. He definitely is a ball don’t lie kind of guy and acknowledges what Sark and Texas are doing.

I do think Sark knew too but he felt responsible for Quinn and wanted him to finish the season and get him drafted. However, who knows what could have been had Arch taken reign for the remainder of last season. If Sark screwed over the entire Texas team and entire fanbase/alumni base over the priority of 1 player then he's a pretty sorry coach. I guess we'll find out in a little over a month given who the opponent is.
July 20Jul 20 They showed the Texas-ASU playoff game on the SEC Network last night. Goddamn Bert Auburn was a fucking disaster. So glad he left

Now I know you are just trolling if you are claiming sports writers are the definitive authority. I love what Wisner did for Texas but you are crazy if you would not trade him for Caden Durham, Nate Frazier or Jaden Baugh right now.

But he struggled too. Sark knew we could win with Ewers for the remaining games, so he stuck with him.

July 20Jul 20 I’m not sure Texas beats Ohio state with Arch - coulda happened. And if R Wingo isn’t shoe string tackled and the defense and PK didn’t stroke out the last play of the first half Texas wins with Quinn. Texas wins it all with those two play reversals imo. Same with year before one lazy route and throw at the end of the Wash game from a great matchup with Michigan. Arch gets the ball against those teams you can’t assume he plays like he did against Miss State. His upside is HUGE but the experience differential last year was huge as well. I think it’s the evolution of the program from out right losers, to kinda winners, to winners almost all of the time, to on the doorstep of championships, and next up is conference and national titles. Lots of ifs and buts so who the fuck knows. Oh wait. SURLY KNOWS! Edited July 20Jul 20 by troph

I do my absolute best not to pile in on painful loss convos, but for me the what ifs in that game are the screen play to end the half, Gunner Helm getting a taunting penalty for pointing at Caleb Downs, and Wingo blocking the wrong guy on the pitch TFL (I'm pretty sure that's what happened)

So glad he left It took you until the ASU game to finally acknowledge Auburn fucking sucks? Sark stuck with Quinn because of loyalty. Yeah, it sucks, but it is what it is. I have no idea if Arch beats Ohio State, but Sark is loyal to a fault, clearly. If Quinn could move his concrete feet and feel the pressure, his old roommate wouldn't have given him a wedgie to Seal the game. I do believe the game would have at the very least been tied if Arch were playing.

July 20Jul 20 Popular Post What-if scenarios are pointless—they typically just serve to reinforce someone’s subjective opinion or argument. Spoiler Unless that what-if is Colt not getting hurt. Objectively Texas wins that game if Colt is healthy.

I don't give a flying fuck about what Nick Saban would do. He's a pansy in game when things go south. Sark isn't. Every coach has their strengths and weaknesses. "Loyalty" isn't necessarily a weakness, it helps build trust. You people should know better, but apparently I'm overestimating you. It's a giant amalgamation of personalities, tendencies, strategies, tactics, finance, charisma, you name it, but you diptshits zero in on one thing that you don't even know is true and decide "well, that fucked us". Grow up.

I've never seen a legendary coach get as prickly as Saban in the game where Colt got hurt. He absolutely knew his team was about to get throttled and he could not handle it. I haven't seen Sark do that, and certainly not in the first half. Saban shit himself and got bailed out by his left end. History changed at that moment.
