Thanks for the kind words.

Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (What happens next will define Sark's 3-year tenure)

First of all, welcome. Glad you're with us.
I think Sark is just having a hard time using anyone at receiver other than his top 3. He just doesn't rotate there are all.
I will also say this - Houston absolutely played their best, most intense game of this year. I was surprised at even how much their fans seemed to be in it even when they went down 21-0. I'm not making excuses, as I know we have the talent and coaching to have beaten them by 35 (which I though was going to happen, particularly after Q1), but Houston was hitting hard and they do have enough talented skill players to make a splash....but as someone else said, we've got to have our guys coached up EVERY SINGLE WEEK to know that that's part of playing for the University of Texas - we're ALWAYS going to get our opponents' best....and particularly this last year in the Big 12.
The reality is that Malik is PLENTY good to run this offense to score 35+ per game the rest of the way....and our D is good enough to hold teams to well below that. The world is not crashing down. While it's disappointing we came out of a bye week + loss to OU and didn't have more than 1 quarter of true motivation/execution, the facts are that we won on the road and we're still good enough to run the table from here through the Big 12 title game. Hopefully BYU is a statement game for us, although the KSU game is beginning to look like the biggest game on our schedule, by a longshot.

Maybe not. The kids see nothing but success right now with this team.
Well, the thing is... they play these things called games.
And things can change... wait for it... from week to week.
In the last few weeks, this team has taken steps back in a few areas. That is what is being discussed. Welcome to October.
Is it time for Texas (Sark) and perhaps us fans to accept that we need better secondary coaching? Gideon has never, even as a player, inspired confidence for me.
Usually just a matter of time for Mack. Although honestly, relatively that is probably the WORST loss he’s ever had with such a highly touted team.
Ewers got hurt when the pass-catching tight end bitched his assignment. The offensive line has been one of the strengths of the team, but it's certainly not close to perfect.
The offense has barely averaged 35 points per game with a returning starter on offense. I would not count on that with Maalik.
If we’re keeping it real questionable coaching decisions is now a weekly thing for Sark. Piss poor time management the two previous games then just a horrible call on the fake FG
I know, like I said, the problem is I don't disagree with your takes, I wish I could but nobody knows who this team really is. Everything that was correct 3 weeks ago is wrong now. That's not good.
Agreed OL has been better than last year, but it's still not as good as it can be....and definitely agree on TE blocking. Sanders really need to fix that. It's self serving, but I think his draft status goes up considerably with more blocking testimonies.
You think anyone will call him on it during the presser? I mean, even if it's true, don't admit it to the world for the third time this season. If I'm a coach on Sark's staff, I'm going up to him and saying "Hey man, you make us look like complete idiots every time you say this. Can you keep it to yourself or just say anything else?"
A failure to make a change in the off season would be akin to Herman keeping Tim Beck around. We all know how that ended.
So on your personal list, you put Lefty lower than the Phils' greats of the 21st century? Interesting, I guess you were a little too young to see him at his peak. I just remember the early 80's Ryan vs. Carlton debates, they were Emmitt vs. Barry level.
Little different era in todays game. Most players didn't leave early. Now most do.
Maybe. Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes early, but could see him staying if he is enjoying it
Yep. Those opposing coaches r not cool. LOL. I'm crossing my fingers that Nola throws a good game, our bats do their clutch thing, and our relievers can close that fiesty team out tonight. Go Phillies!!!
Sell, he thinks teams surprising him is a surprise and hasn’t had answers and keeps this narrative going when pie hits his face. Doesn’t give me tons of confidence.
How does anyone think or know that Manning is the better QB? He hasn’t played a single solitary down and, while it may have been a function of play calling, looked fairly abysmal in the Orange-White scrimmage. Honestly, hopefully this doesn’t
Sound obnoxious. I really want to know.
This is Sarks greatest weakness 3 years into his program here at Texas.
Its confounding that he can successfully dissect film and design a script of plays to exploit what he sees on film but seems lost once defensive adjustments are made. The film room skills are not translating to real time playing field scenarios. Perhaps he needs more help with that from the booth (how can that not already be happening) or simply needs to be that guy and relinquish play calling duties so he can focus on the bigger schematic picture when the bullets are flying.
Maybe we request meetings with the officials during the game so we can make them aware that the other team isn’t playing fair and are doing things we aren’t comfortable with. I mean, they can’t just do whatever they want, right? Seems unfair.
Fair. But he was hired for his offensive prowess and QB development. It would be like hiring Gordon Ramsey to just do the books and purchasing for your restaurant.
