Texas sounds more and more aggy everyday. It’s gotta be frustrating to be a longhorn fan this year.


Some people were saying the most aggy shite ever on surlyhorns board.

How do you think our BMD's feel after hearing that, and after pouring millions into this fricking program?


No kidding. Comparing Texas to 135 other schools has to be sacrilege in Austin. The hubris there is 2nd to none. His messaging is awful, no matter what team he would be coaching. South Florida won at the Swamp, but Texas can't?

Can anyone understand why a team playing for him would give 75-80%?

But certainly not 110%?

Texas is just 3-8 against AP top-10 teams all time under Sarkisian


I keep seeing this stat thrown around, but the issue isn't that they lost to a top 10 team this week. UF wasn't ranked and isn't even receiving votes in either poll after winning on Saturday. South Florida won in The Swamp just a few weeks back.

Further, it is not simply that they lost. There is no shame in dropping an SEC road game, but they were dominated. Florida was more physical. Manning's balls were underthrown. tu rushed for a total of 52 yards and 36 of those came on a single play.

Sportswriters are obsessing over this top 10 record, but tu needs to focus on beating State, Vandy and Arky. They are 3-2 with OU and UGA on the schedule. That's looking like a 4-loss season with 6-6 as a formal possibility.

Haha. A well placed comma would improve your quote.

But I just found it humorous that Sark actually tweeted video of a pool party in Summer 2022 under the header “All Gas No Brakes”. That’s Legit funny.
Pretty funny - check it out

Sark will be alright. No coach except OSUs coach has a better resume over the last 2 seasons.

I mean... he's not wrong. Those aren't easy places to play and both teams have really good defenses. I get why Horns fans are mad about losing to Florida but for all their issues they are nowhere near an auto win for anyone. They may as well be A&M under Jimbo. A shitload of talent that is being stifled by an HC who refuses to give up play calling. Every so often that talent will overcome the coaching and sneak up on somebody.

I would have preferred a different response for him. No, they're not easy places to play but some accountability would have been nice to see.

On another note, Texas fans that went to both the Shoe and the Swamp said the Swamp was a much louder and more impactful home environment. If they can get that way with the team being 1-3, I can only imagine that place with a championship contending team.

And I would respond to Sark, how many of those other programs have the expectations and backing that UT has. Maybe 5 other schools? He’s just pouting because he got asked some difficult questions


No one has done less with more.

Welll this stands to reason. Midwesterners care about football. Southerners breathe football.

Bama fans used to run this conference. They didn't need credentials. Honest mistake on his part.
