September 15Sep 15 If I'm Arch, I watch the Miss St game from last year a few times. After that, he can sit cross-legged and meditate while burning incense, or hell, hashish. Maybe do it with McConaughey and play the bongos naked afterwards, IDGAF. Anything to get his mind right.

September 15Sep 15 21 minutes ago, Horn of Gabriel said: First, Texas should never have a rebuilding year. We're Texas. Second, in the age of the portal, there is zero excuse for a rebuild-year. Texas can go pluck almost any player at almost any position they need if they feel they are too young, too inexperienced, or too injured. If we have a rebuilding year, that is 100% on Sark and his coaching staff. Either: Arch balled out in the Spring/Fall camps and Sark didn't anticipate that he confidence would get shot by a bad game vs. OSU - in which case it's Sark's fault for not contingency planning, or Arch truly sucks because he can't handle the pressure of being the guy or didn't play strong HS competition - in which case it's Sark's fault for mis-evaluating Coaching is a zero sum game. You're either a winner or a loser. Right now Sark is 2-1, so great for him but we can all see where this season is going: 9-3 is our ceiling. 7-5 or 6-6 is more likely, with losses to OU, A&M, and Georgia. Texas has the #2 team talent composite rating in the nation. You can't go 7-5 with that. Even 9-3 is embarrassing barring major injuries. Only Alabama under Saban did not have rebuild years. So I am going to disagree with First. The rest ok. Arch is struggling so are some of the lineman. Sark needs to adjust as to what reality is and make this a winner. I would be perfectly fine if Arch never threw a pass under 5 yards. so far he has shown he can't do it consistently. So do the things he does well.

Big difference versus even 5 years ago 💯 Since pay-for-play (a.k.a. “NIL”) has become legal, everything has changed. …as DFW Horn clearly stated. 7 minutes ago, Alien Octopus said: Only Alabama under Saban did not have rebuild years.

I would be perfectly fine if Arch never threw a pass under 5 yards. so far he has shown he can't do it consistently. So do the things he does well. Once Saban got to Alabama, only Ohio State (maybe) was doling out as much cash as Alabama in an era before NIL. By the time Georgia caught up and then surpassed Alabama, Saban had a track record of putting several players into the league each year. LSU & Clemson had spurts of going all-in, but now that NIL is legal, even those schools shouldn’t be able to reload like Texas. We need new eyes on QB development and OL development and probably a play-calling OC. Sark is still designing good plays, but in-game play-calling continues to be a weakness of his. But we shouldn’t ever point to talent acquisition as an issue.
September 15Sep 15 wtf is wrong with this team everyone’s injured since the first day of contact. Mosley phantom injury can’t walk. Jonah pulled his hammy 3 years ago. Baxter takes one hand off. Hammy Wisner injured since August

Sark: Arch had a good practice this morning, what happens is you focus on yourself think of yourself etc. Lets not self inflict wounds on ourselves lets take it out on them, lets go after them and not after ourselves Shift the frustration to them over there. He came back today with the energy that he's accustomed to. He's going to right the ship quickly and thats a testament to his team around him. I guess we'll see, but yips show up in pressure/stress situations, so games, not practice. Maybe SHSU is so bad Arch can manage it. Still won't really know until conference games start.

September 15Sep 15 Anyone calling for an offensive focus on “running the ball” better take a good look at the underperformance of our offensive line in the running game. This offense has problems well beyond a QB w/ a confidence problem.

The only reason there is a football team is because of the money and the fans. It's not the other way around. CDC needs to have a conversation with him. This isn't a bunch of amateurs out there, the landscape has changed and its expensive as fuck to do any of this. What was said to elicit this reaction from you

He's doing it out of necessity which is not good. I give him credit that at least he is not blind. He didn't need to run Ewers because Ewers was a great QB in Sark's O and even if he wanted to run him he couldn't risk more injury to Ewers. We are just going to have to risk running Arch because there is no other alternative. My concern is Sark will try to cut the baby in half instead of fully committing to a serious QB run game as a first option and it will become a mess. Hopefully Caldwell is ready. If Florida is a shit show maybe we can out OU the dirt burglers by having our backup come in and slaughter them for once. Edited September 16Sep 16 by dcar00

Saban had an OL factory. he didn't need to rebuild because he knew how to build OL. it all starts there and Sark/Flood are treading water at best IMO. It's been the same story at Texas for 20 years.

If it takes Arch smoking weed like Ricky to play good, I'm all for it. Maybe he should spend some time with Ricky.
