Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

[Big Daddy Cane]

the next 4 games dont tell us about Sark.....it tells us if this team has the stones to rally around their QB2

You know the difference between us and the Alabama, Ohio States and Michigan fan base, they expect to win every game they feel it as an entitlement and a given
Our fan base wants to win every game, but the minute we face some adversity or the media and the bookmakers tell them its going to be a tough game , our fan base goes into there excuse and alibi mode...I think many of us on here said 11-1 or 10-2 admit it we thought those two losses would be at Alabama and OU

So why are we treating KSU like they are gonna run the table and end up in the conference championship, we are #7 and should probably be higher but that was our own fault we had OU beat, do we really think a #25 ranked team is going to beat us at home..I dont

I think the games have to be played before you can conclude what and who to address. Sark can dial up the perfect play, but if Maalik throws off his back foot and floats one that gets picked, it's on him. Ultimately wins and losses fall on the HC.
Let's be honest, we're as entitled as any other fan base in the country. Difference being, in the last 15 years, we've not been at the level of the schools you mentioned. Let's be regulars in tge CFP, and we'll be no different. Fans are hesitant to mark this game as a W because he haven't consistently done it for a long time. Hell, we gave ou that game. Start winning the winnable games and all is right with the world.

This has nothing to do with being pessimistic. It is reality. The next 4 weeks are going to tell us a lot about Sark. Historical data is clear. year 3 success or lack there of pretty much tells the story for coaches and their future. And again ZFG given in regards to Sark. I do not root for the University of Sark.... I root for Texas. Win or GTFO

I think Sark needs to win Big 12 also. If he doesn’t, and we run him off, do you think Arch will stay ? I doubt it, and then Cook and others will probably leave too.
Food for thought

Some draftniks are saying that Sweat has played himself into the second round.

remember the picture during summer practice with him between Arch and Quinn is shorts and a T shirt in the locker room , he looked like a man next to two boys

Indeed MM is an imposing figure. It didn't hurt that the perspective of that photo emphasized his size alongside QE and AM who are good-sized guys themselves.

Per Harry Douglas, "That boy bad".

Don’t understand a dude that size who doesn’t run some of the time

Wrong some live and die with their emotional attachment to coaches.

No. Fans live and die with their emotional attachment to this University. So naturally they want the coaches representing the University to succeed for the simple reason that if the coaches succeed, the University succeeds.

So does that mean the “fans” who seem to openly pull for a specific coach to fail are not really fans of Texas but better classified as trolls or sheep herders. No slight to sheep intended.

 

[PTA]

One resolution to our red zone woes is to score before we get there.

He is not a speedster but I do agree, he could man an effective QB power run game.

The other problem, Sark does not often call designed QB runs.

The other problem, we are already down 1 QB.
