Obviously TX won't be in the playoffs this year. But if Cincy is and wins at least 1 game I'm going to 😅
There will be a LOT of big games this week. @LonghornMM this week you must bring out the betting lines asap.
Some other lines I want to know about
I am pretty frustrated with our defense for one main reason. There seems to be no urgency in changing anything up and adapting. At least Flood is dealing with the urgency in our O-Line issues. He is moving guys around and trying to improve the situation.
I think the culture inside Texas football is bad. Something is rotten. Maybe the incident with Jake Ehlinger is a peek into the window of Texas culture. This team does not want to win. I don't think we do all that well at football in the SEC for some time.
There really isn't anything he can do. Apparently our incoming freshman aren't ready to play. I hope Jaylin Ford gets more snaps than Brockermeyer. Judging by some of his metrics he's played well so far.
Slow down a little bit. Our kids want to win desperately. There is a toxic culture with TX fb 10 years in the making. The longer it lasts the more it affects our players. And I've said many times on here numerous hc's, ad's and potus over the last 10 years. To many hands on alums. And it appears that Hartzell and Del Conte are not going to draw boundaries. Imo I think they like it.
I believe there is always something you can do. I don't believe that it is a 100% personnel issue. All we have done is 3DL, 2LB and an edge here and there.
That's a ridiculous statement. They lose a couple of close games and now it's they don't want to win games. We lost those games because we aren't very talented in the trenches and that's showing up in the second half of games. It's not because they don't want to win.
I posted awhile back that Sarkisian said whoever practices the hardest is the one who plays. But how many tackles does Brockemeyer have to miss before Ford finally becomes gets more playing time?
In addition after the KSU game the TX players sang TX fight with tears in their eyes.
I may be in the minority in my view, but it is simply what I believe. No harm in disagreeing. Coaching is a big part of it. I can't buy that Texas' 4*s are inferior to Gundy's 3* or ou's 4* or whoever. These 4*s need to be coached up and worked by whatever methods necessary. They are the coaches with all of the access and knowledge to figure it out-unlike us on this sports forum.
Actually both games. The KSU game is the one where Kerstetter completely shattered his ankle and had to be carried off. Even though they took him to the hospital he made it back to the locker room before the game ended. And sitting in a wheel chair he led the team in singing.
If you can stand it, re-watch this memory. This is all coaching. Players out of position-no safety valve? 100% of them crash on the line of scrimmage? That is coaching. That kind of stuff is covered in practice and then as a "heads up" in the huddle before a big play. Texas should be sick of granting Heismans to blowu. I want to be clear, I definitely like Sark and I still like PK. However, PK can't trot our defense out there looking clueless anymore. I understand they won't be perfect or even a solid D, but they just can't be clueless.
missed tackle, the defensive player was there. If it was Rattler he would have been stuffed, Williams is 220 and can break arm tackles
We'll see. This team reminds me of the 2019 team with a lesser qb. Are we at the point of declaring the team a rebuild? After this season, we lose most of the secondary, kerstetter, overshown, our best DT, and that's just off the top of my head. Sark better hit the portal hard.
I always thought this year was going to be an 8-4 or 9-3 type of season. New QB and new systems on both sides of the ball. The only position that really worries me going into next season is the offensive line. I expect Sark to hit the transfer portal to try and fill the holes there.
I know we have a solid athletic program. However the men's hoops team has not played yet. And UT fb is the heart of this school.
I know that there in no baseball polls out yet, but Texas did finish ranked #3 last year.
I'm shocked that you of all people left out baseball.
