re: Sark getting called out on todays episode of "LOCKED ON SEC" podcast

Texas losing to other teams is literally all they have. They would rather see that happen than see their own team win (see their school song for reference).

The beauty of it is that they have to rely on other teams so much because they ran away from Texas due to their inability to beat them in anything

I hate to agree with a sip, but there's a noticeable difference between 3/10 (30%) and 1/3 (33.3333333....%).

With $1, that's a difference in just over $0.03.

With $10, that's a difference in just over $0.33.

With $100, $3.33.

With $1,000, $33.33.

With $10,000, $333.33.

You get the picture.

That's like saying that 1% of all commercial airplanes crashing is a good rate (1 sigma) instead of 0.000001% (6 sigma)

Of course there’s a difference. But you wrote out all those numbers with math. I was casually mentioning a general amount which is normal in casual conversation. I stand by what I said.

If you had three friends out of ten and you casually mentioned it was about a third of them, that is generally considered sufficient enough for casual conversation. It’s not technically the same number that’s not the point.

You aren’t going to say that something is three tenths of something or twenty three twenty fifths or something like that.

You just say it’s about a third. Or it’s about a half. It’s called an approximation and your only expected to be correct in such conversations within an order of magnitude.
Unless precise accuracy is needed. Otherwise we would all being doing mental gymnastics with every fraction we quote.

So, respectfully, your both wrong. The fact that you’re arguing this, is stupid. It’s called orders of magnitude and it’s a thing in casual conversation. Look it up.

You’re not expecting precision here. Just general estimation. I teach this for a living. Y’all need to just rest.

Texas has issues with Kansas. Kansas …

My apologies. You are right. Maryland then. Twice you lost. That more recent for your feelings?

That’s only a third of a decade. Also know as just three years ago. And half a decade is only five years ago, just so you know.
Recruits were 13 years old. Just to help with the math. But if it helps to only go back three years, fine. Maryland.

But it’s okay now. It will all be different soon. Don’t worry.

Honestly I hope y’all start being competitive. It’s no fun picking on you when you’re this bad.
Sort of like picking on your weak little brother.

We need y’all to get better. When you lose to Maryland we feel sorry for you more than anything. It’s embarrassing really.

You know what's really embarrassing?

That same trash arse Texas team that lost to Maryland walked right into the Sugar Bowl and beat the number 2 team in the SEC. The next year you guys got beat by Georgia, and then LSU handed y'all that 50-7 beatdown. We played them the same year. I am sure you saw the game. We lost by 7, and we were extremely unhappy about it.

You are also 3-7 against TCU at best in the past ten years. We’ve won 24 in a row against them. Face it, you are nothing but a has been. And if you played us today without your refs, it would be UGLY

"I didn't take this job blind," Sarkisian said. "We're everybody's biggest game. I think coming out of [the SEC move] and the talk of what's happened, our bull's-eye got a little bit bigger. We can't be naive to that. Whether it's crowd noise, whether it's yelling at us on the bench, whether it's the 'Horns Down' signal, all those things are really irrelevant to our ability to execute and succeed at a really high level."

Is he aware that bigger bulleyes are easier to hit?

I never said Texas’s team was trash. Maybe you feel it was? I hope not.

Anyway, I agree that you were extremely inconsistent that season but were a good team. I believe that’s your point?

Unfortunately, Texas fans try to paint some sort of picture of domination. You’re not a team that has dominated anyone recently. Even during the glory years of your most recent championship, you didn’t dominate year after year. Just being real.

But to be fair, you’ve always been an exceptional team. Dominant? No. Well above average and even occasionally exceptional? Yes.

Just don’t come over here claiming dominance is coming and somehow you’ve got the secret sauce no one else has that you can’t be beaten. You certainly can be.

I call balls and strikes objectively. A&M hasn’t dominated anything either. But I do believe with regard to where we are in the SEC we are ahead of you now. Time will tell if this advantage continues. We have a long ways to go too. And yes, your natty is more recent than ours, but I am not sure that really helps you. If it was with your current coaching staff it certainly would.

I suspect we will trade games as the series over the past 7 years we have played was fairly even with a slight edge to Texas due to your recent national championship during that time.

But honestly what matters more than anything is the coach. When we have a better coach than Texas, A&M usually wins. When Texas has better coaching, Texas wins. Texas didn’t dominate over RC or Jackie and we certainly didn’t dominate when Mack was there.

Right now, I would give the coaching edge to the Aggies. But that’s only because Sark is a total unknown as a head coach. He could be the next Saban. Who knows.

I’m glad you back. But don’t always assume we think your team is trash because we call you out when you over inflate what you really are. Your a good team. You’ll probably grow to be an exceptional team soon. You’ve got a long way to go before your dominant.

But everyone other than Bama is probably in that boat.

I believe that was his point. Texas will need to be tougher because the competition will be more robust in the SEC.
