Bull.
If the fat sweaty man in Fort Worth, Matt Rhule, and Matt Campbel can take TCU, Baylor and Iowa State to the Big 12 championship with a bunch of nobodies, then we’ve done something wrong if Sark and this coaching staff can’t take Texas there.

1) Bohls seems to be the only one that cares. Not sure why he doesn’t retire.
2) watching the Phillies has been fun to watch. Maton and Miller hitting crucial homers while their family was in the stands was awesome.
I really like the McGahee comp. The one that came to mind when I listened to the podcast was Cadillac Williams.
Funny you say that because he randomly popped into my head yesterday when thinking about recruiting. That dude was very good on the Texas 247 beat. Would be a great hire.
I believe Ketch mentioned hiring another recruiting expert for football. Suchomel is great but you honestly can’t have too many in this market
Going 8-4 would be just more of the same. Losing to less talented teams and getting out coached.
@Ketchum I thought your No. 3 was really well written and spot on in terms of realistic expectations. I certainly hope we exceed expectations but most likely this will take some time. I mean, OU has won "6" conference championships in a row! How many years do we have to go back until we total 6 period. The fact that we consistently recruit anywhere near teams with that track record is testament to our brand and national appeal. It is what makes us great but also a bit delusional at times. Either way, I love being part of this ride and will never jump off. Hook 'em!
Only two? OK two of FB, BsktBall, BaseBall. But what about those other Longhorn teams that were either winners or runnerups. Or waay close. Hook'em. By the way, Ketch, don't put me in the group that only counts the TOP 3 Longhorn Teams as the only ones that are important. :>)
Certainly one of them, my gosh that was a evil laden movie. De Niro and Rourke were greatness.
Most elite programs (those that recruit at the highest level) struggle with this. It’s a good problem to have. This year will be unique because our “one & dones” aren’t Freshmen. They are players that have proven that they can get it done in college @ a high level.
It’s a soap opera that will make you laugh out loud at least once per episode at how ridiculous it is. Like any good soap, it draws you in and compels you to keep watching it despite (or maybe because of) it’s absurdity.
Who has more talent in the Big 12 than Texas? Good coaching is supposed to maximize your roster’s potential. Did we hire a great coaching staff or not? It’s not delusional to expect that. It’s the reason we made the change.
Beard has done a fantastic job of building a decimated roster to a national level contender with proven talent and yet somehow he has messed up…
OB got to OB….
Somewhere along the way, there needs to be something that stands as a "moment".
Sark needs a moment IMO.
It's like a good action movie in the summer. Yes, some of it is contrived, but it's a hell of a lot of fun.
Completely different because those were all recruits and this is mostly a combination of older players.
It's not going to happen. E.J. and OB have a very good relationship, but he's got a different plan in front of him.
