Holding. Our offense has consistently been cheeks on the road with BooB. Will need to see us actually look somewhat competent outside of the initial script and 2 minute offense this weekend to buy.

Holding, while preserving the option to sell at a moment's notice.

The Alabama loss was at least understandable. Saturday's in Lubbock was not, as that's a 7-5 Texas Tech team at best (in large part thanks to Texas). Same story, different chapter like 2021.

I like Sarkisian, and think his demeanor and play-calling scheme are impressive and right for this job, but he's failing at a lot of other areas, and adjustments is probably No. 1.

No Texas coach has ever started 0-2 against the Sooners since David McWilliams. If Sark gives us the same bull shite that he gave us in 2021, I'm selling at least this season for sure, and probably the entire regime along with it.


I've repeated this a couple times, but I don't think you can say it enough:

When you spend your ENTIRE SUMMER game planning for ONE game; you hire a former HC to study ONE TEAM for that ONE GAME.
Then you give it all and lose that game?

Of course the team is going to deflate. Your coaching staff is basically telling them their entire season is that one game.

I would sell A&M but am genuinely curious about this weekend. How do they respond to Anias being hurt?

Hold one more week before possible fire sale.

Holding. This game against Ole Miss will tell us all what that we need to know

All IN!

We've played 3 ranked teams, beat 1 and had chances to win the other 2. Not bad with a New Staff n starters across the board

Oh I know, and I agree. Even still: it shouldn't take more than a week to game plan for a mediocre Texas Tech team. That game was the 8th or 9th most difficult game on the schedule, and the longhorns still found a way to blow a big lead late and lose.

To me, that's a player culture issue and a head coaching issue for lack of adjustments. The entire program just needs to look in the mirror and figure out if they want to continue this trajectory or actually do something about it.

Depends on how you phrase the question, honestly. If today's rankings are the price ? I sell Kentucky - they ain't Top 10. Just ain't.

But if I "bought" Kentucky at the beginning of the season ? I hold. Because I thought they'd be a Top 20 team. And I still think they will be. Maybe toward the top of that 11-20 space. No reason to sell that.

Holding on State. Feel like we should have won in Baton Rouge but LSU might be second best in West.

A&M and Arkansas both at home the next two weeks. Could win both, could lose both. Feel like if they find a way to get to 5-1, a 9-3 season is still possible. Still feel like we are going to beat someone we shouldn’t. Kentucky?

I honestly took the questions in terms of my preseason expectations. I originally said 8-4 or 9-3. I want to see how big a difference, if at all, CRod makes. I do think he can win one on ones at the line of scrimmage that our current backs can’t. Big difference between 2 & 11 and 2 & 8. He also is a lot better pass blocking back as well.

If our run game can look at least average with him after this Saturday, I’ll buy this team. The NIU game doesn’t worry me at all. Every team has a sleepwalking game.

I’m an Auburn fan. There is no buy, sell, trade. All there is to do at this point is embrace the suck.

Probably holding until I see if the LSU game was just a typical Leach shitshow or not. The next three weeks will tell us a lot. That said, I think LSU is better than most gave credit for too.

Holding for one more week

LSU has benefited from an early weak schedule. Win one on the Plains and we will possibly make a move.
