re: Is Sark that naive? He acts like his staying is a choice

The irony.

I think fans of all teams are getting a bit unrealistic with their expectations/analysis of their coaches.

There are few truly elite level coaches in college football. While Sark isn't one of them... he's a pretty good coach. He's not putting forward "Kentucky-level results".

Sark went 12-2 and 13-3 the last two years, finishing in the top 5 both times. He's at 7-3 this season and was 8-5 before those two playoff seasons which are not incredible years are still top 25 level seasons.

That's not horrible. Texas wants more, but the reality is you're probably getting rid of a top 25 coach in college football right now. There's a whole lot more room to take a step back than there is to take a step forward.

I'm not saying it's the wrong choice. UGA did something similar when they fired Mark Richt to hire Kirby Smart. It ended up working out for UGA. But a LOT of programs get worse when they make a move like that. Texas is facing that situation.

The vast majority of Aggie fans are former students of A&M.

The vast majority of 'sip fans have never seen their shadows fall upon the doorway of a college classroom, much less a classroom on the t.u. campus.

But both schools ARE quite good academically, with t.u. better at some things and Aggy better at others. It would be silly to pretend otherwise.

Again do you have any evidence, data, reports, etc literally ANYTHING to back up either of those claims?

ATM is a good institute, not as good holistically as Texas and I do have data to back that up.

What I don’t know is if atm has programs ranked higher than Texas where we both have the same school / program? I’m sure yall do just unaware of any

There was an interesting study on this very question about five years ago. The researcher went into social media accounts and compared poster's education (alma mater) data with favorite team data.

Of all major universities other than the service academies, Aggy had the highest percentage of graduates among those who listed a favorite team.

'Sip did not even make the top fifty.

No, I am not going to go find it for you.

Both are very good. Yes, t.u. is ranked higher on most metrics, but it is a matter of two guys standing 6'5" and 6'6" arguing about which is taller.

You are probably correct, but basically you answered with no, you have 0 data to back that claim up.

Honestly doesn’t matter to me, I’m 4th gen longhorn and graduated and if random people want to take an interest as a t shirt fan that’s their prerogative.

I have never lived in Dallas but grew up a cowboys fan, doesn’t matter to me either way

I am not writing a thesis, but here you go.

'horn - 8%
aggy - 57%

A few others:

It's good Sark is staying with TX until he gets the championship like he stated. I mean he has already delivered with 2 Final Four runs. The championship will be the cherry on top.
