Is this what we’ve resorted to? Can’t gripe about the sport or the team so we are grasping at straws and making mountains out of molehills à la Holly Rowe (pun intended) and saying racist things on X about Indian students?

Sad. I suddenly understand why there is a Joe Burrow fashion faux pas thread every Sunday.

What I'm tripping on is why do he end every sentence with "Thank you come again"?

STFU Sark and just keep winning.

We played TSU and UTSA. Not exactly juggernauts.

When did we play UTSA? Week 0? As it stands we’ve played two games, and one of them was against the #1 at the time. If you are ever gonna bark it’s this week.

My apologies, sir. We play them this week.

Point is, we do the same shite. Always have, always will. So he needs to focus on winning every game (not losing to Florida). And stop whining. Just fricking win.

Didn't he complain last year about having to play this very game?

It's refreshing how he always speaks his mind.

He's making a statement about how teams are just paying for wins.


This is false.

Schools never pay a university for wins.
They pay a university for home games.
The only schools who are willing to schedule an away game with no return visit are shitty teams who need the money.

The outcome is the same.
But they are not paying for wins. They are paying to fill out the season ticketholder allotment of games. Money is made in home games.
Unless someone is throwing you a poop ton of money (City of Jacksonville to UGA for the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party), those home games are needed for revenue.

Tell that to Alabama, who got smoked by a 5-7 FSU, who in turn lost by 20 to the Florida team Sark lost to.

Florida had talent, as the draft showed. They only lost to UGA by 4.

UTSA and Texas State are decent G6 programs that would destroy most of the FCS garbage programs a lot of schools schedule.

We played UTSA last year. That team had like 8 starters transfer up to P4 schools who are starting this year.

If you look at advanced stats, they are around the 60s or 70s in rankings of FBS programs.

Is Sark back on the booze again?


I’m pretty sure he’s been off the wagon for a good while. He’s not wrong though. OU could’ve played a cupcake last Saturday. Granted we would’ve got exposed down the road. OOC games have been scheduled years ahead of time so it’s kind of out of our control.

He’d 1000% right. We also shouldn’t do it anymore given the disgrace of other programs are rewarding such cowardice

It’s about the entire OOC schedule. Everyone has 2 tuneups, but very few schedule a top 30 team in OOC much less a top 5. That’s the point.
