You can like something even if it makes fun of your side. Not everyone is super insecure all the time.

Welp, Sark doesn't owe her an interview. Works both ways.
well, I’d imagine he does. These coaches aren’t stopping mid game because it’s their choice, it’s in the media contract.

Punching up is funny. It’s why celebrity roasts work so well.

Is Holly Rowe not a celebrity in her field of work to you? She is a pretty big name in college sports for whatever reason.

I thought her original butt hurt in the live video was funny. She wasn't taken down a peg; she felt knocked off the ladder.

The AI clip was funny because of its outrageous nature. It is okay to laugh at silly bits. Holly Rowe (except for her ego in the actual event) was not harmed in the production of that AI clip.

I like how it’s now “clutching pearls” to think AI videos of real women getting hit by men isn’t funny

Some things just aren’t funny and are trashy. Doesn’t mean you are offended, just means you were raised in a house that wasn’t mobile

I think the comedic value is in the absurdity. It has nothing to do with favoring or promoting violence. It is a response video to an incident that was rather benign IRL. The social media outcry over Sark blowing her off was if he slapped her. The video makes fun of that.

This is the punching down that the other guy meant. Also, it is a bit hypocritical to your moral outrage and values based upbringing point.

Kid still can't get a decent haircut, or is he trying to hide those ears?

Tbh immature af. People are shitting on holly Rowe pretty much because she isn’t physically attractive and that she’s a woman so she automatically knows nothing about football. When in actuality she knows more ball than pretty much every other sideline reporter


or it could be she is a bitch so people are going to frick with her about being a fat arse.

solution to that would easily be....stop being a fat bitch to everyone

she handled the whole situation like a child and not professional at all

Well, he’s actually 22 and has been a media figure for the better part of 5 years.

I think the video is bad form, but I’m not losing sleep over it.

Still, he should know better by now than to let himself get into this. Give them a throwaway reply and move on.

Arch is young, but he is an idiot for saying that on camera in 2026....
Even IT generated violence against women by men will not go over well with the majority of progressive UT fans in Austin.

This is a bad look for arch.

Should have said I don’t condone violence especially towards women and I’m glad our coach celebrated with us after his brief interview and left it at that.

Sark should nip this in the bud and say this for him asap, tell him he respects and has a long relationship with holly (which he does) and double down on that video goes too far. End with we are focused on UTSA and leave it at that

"I coach a sport where people knock the frick out of each other, but I don't condone violence, especially against women. But to be clear, I don't think there are any differences between men and women. We're all the same and women can just as easily beat up men. I have a long relationship with Holly Rowe and respect her as I respect all people, whether they deserve respect or not. Actually all human beings deserve respect, even people like Ted Bundy. We don't really know how he was raised. Or how about that Clancy lady who killed her kids. I saw a video of her getting smacked and in no way found that funny. We men don't know what it's like to deal with hormones. Well trans women do.. but they're women anyway so what am I saying. Anyway I'm just sorry. So is Arch, for offending anyone."

The left is easily offended.

But comedian chick is allowed to hold a painting of holding Trump's severed head as a freedom of expression

They can also celebrate Kirkmas.

But got forbid a joke over AI slop.

No, it is because people act like these media types are entitled to stuff like this. Just call the game. It is like watching a baseball game umpired by Angel Hernandez. Dude acted like I bought a ticket to see him and the umpires. Honestly as a Georgia fan I haven't cared about anything outside the booth since I last heard the phrase "Lorne, whaddaya got?"

Exactly. And regardless, humor comes from absurdity and feeling uncomfortable. Laughter is a release of the tension created by the comedian and the material. Dave Chappelle as black KKK leader Clayton Bigsby is a perfect example. It's hilarious for those very reasons.

Not even close to the same.

I agree it was a joke video and this isn’t a big deal but we live in a culture where optics matter and arch and sark are public figures. The video also doesn’t leave a lot of alternative interpretations as it’s super short and is basically sark backhanding holly r. So basically he’s laughing at that portion, which is not a good look even if it’s a joke.

Not sure how yo devolved to bringing in Ted Bundy and clancy people who murdered innocent people, that’s not at all the same thing

First off. She is doing her job. It literally is her biggest responsibility for her employer who is televising the game.

Second off. It is contractually obligated by the coach.

She isn't the one acting entitled. She is literally putting bread on the table paid for the people who are literally putting the game on TV and paying the coach's salaries.

The $12M head coach is the one acting like an entitled arse.

He could have told her "no interview" before the cameras went live. But instead, he acted like a drunken psychopath with no regards to his obligations to the network or post-game norms.

Honestly, she’d probably to be happy to just call a game instead of chasing coaches down for interviews post-game. But if you don’t like the coaches interviews, that’s a systemic issue. Not a Holly Rowe being entitled issue, as she’s contractually just doing her job.
