re: Rank SEC Head Coaching Jobs

I like said in a follow up, I think we're a great OC from a real shot. I just think Sark's arrogance blinds him to this fact. in 3 years this guy still hasn't figured out how to fix our goal line offense and he looks completely lost when we play elite teams.
I don’t disagree with your Sark critiques. My first concern about our goal line problems relates to our O line being substandard for the SEC. Whether it’s Kyle Flood not delivering, or Sark not focusing on O line recruiting like we focus on flashy players such as receivers, our O line has not been getting it done.
If we had a top 10 or even top 15 O line, I think our ability to score in the red zone would be greatly improved.

Sark is an improvement from the last two by far but he's not someone who can win it all.
I honestly think Sark can win a title. He called the plays that brought Alabama its last natty. Sark’s players in general like the guy, and will play hard for him. And compared to the 10 years before Sark, he’s putting lots of our players into the NFL now. And past UT Austin stars, including Bijan, Vince, etc. seem to like Sark too. Sark has graciously brought Mack Brown back into the fold as well.
The combination of Texas’ access to money, a demonstrated pathway for player recruits to the pros, and ex Texas players like Bijan and Vince voluntarily hyping our program and serving as player mentors make me feel like our program is in much better shape than it has been in years.
That said, it’s incredibly hard to win a national championship. IDK what our O line will look like this year. Sure, I would love to win a natty again (I was fortunate enough to attend our 2005 National Championship game vs USC), but I will feel pretty good if we finish the year within the top 5 teams.

He seems oblivious to what the other conferences are doing around the SEC putting all sec teams at a huge disadvantage when it comes to scheduling
Sankey seems to really like new SEC additions Texas, and Oklahoma. Plus aggy is paranoid about the guy, which spawns lots of conspiracy theories on TexAgs about how aggy was “backstabbed,” and sold down the river by Sankey, when Sankey “traitorously” added Texas to the SEC (just when aggy was about to dominate, ha)…
So Sankey is great, from my perspective… let’s keep him!

The #1 RB in Texas just committed to the Longhorns, so I had a feeling there would be some Aggies starting LSU threads today as soon as their shift ended at the sheep farm. ElkHerd and her alter Architect are here, now we’re just waiting for JayAg and fAGGIES to show up. Thank god Texag7 is still in ban land.
You definitely get it - I appreciate your knowledge and high level understanding of the aggy psych…

Leavitt looked really good in the B12 with Skattebo in the backfield to hand off to and with two good ankles. If this doesn't transfer to LSU, and Leavitt is even only an average SEC QB there could be some crushed expectations for that $100 million plus Coaching staff and $50 million dollar roster. And remember that Lane Quitten retained Blake Baker who in two tries still hasn't been able to coach his guys up to tackle Marcel Reed. So if the third try is not the charm, gonna be a really ugly 4th quarter when the Aggies come back to your stadium this year and kick the Tigers in the arse yet another year in a row.
This post is comical - aggy striving to win preseason games. I’m noticing that since Texas joined the SEC, aggy has been uselessly banging its head against the wall trying to demonstrate that aggy is really “big brother” to Texas.
Well, even aggy understands deep down that their attempts to dominate Texas are not working out. Thus aggy are now shifting tactics to save face, and are desperately trying to adopt LSU as their surrogate little brother.
Yes, aggy has won a couple of games vs. LSU in recent LSU down years. But I definitely don’t think that an aggy preseason win vs. LSU this year is assured. I’m sure not going to jinx the Longhorns by claiming a preseason win vs. LSU at LSU’s stadium this upcoming season. I think that game will be a loud, wild, tough game for us.
re: I asked ChatGPT to rank the SEC schools based on a number of different metrics….

And those metrics were academic reputation, research strength, alumni network and influence, financial resources, athletic brand, and career outcomes. Here is the ranking it gave me: 1. Texas 2. Vanderbilt 3. Florida 4. UGA 5. Texas A&M 6. Alabama 7. Tennessee 8. Oklahoma 9. Auburn 10. LSU 11. Kentucky 12. Missouri 13. South Carolina 14. Arkansas lol 15. Ole Miss lol 16. Miss State lol
Thanks for such a generous post from a Georgia alum and fan…

took my kayak to Town Lake for the 4th of July, and had a blast, went to South Congress afterwards, and the only shots were the ones people were drinking. I still call it Town Lake, go to Barton Springs, take visitors to the State Capitol and the UT campus, go to the Continental Club, and can still deal with large crowds, or avoid them. I was born at Bergstrom AFB, went to HS here and UT, moved all over the place, including Florida, Oklahoma, Louisiana & Colorado, and retired 20 miles from downtown Austin. I go to Austin when I want to, or just stay home.
That all sounds good! Glad the Continental Club is still going strong, and that (as I understand) Barton Springs is full again…

We agree on a lot there. Its still Town Lake to me. When the City cut down hundreds year old pecan trees to build a parking garage on Barton Springs, I knew crap had changed. I almost never drive into Austin these days.
So I take it that you are not now living in a $2M high rise condo in downtown Austin?
Good for you! Here’s to cool old authentic Austin spots like Liberty Lunch, if you remember that place.

No disrespect, but Luling,TX seems pretty close. Still a small oilfield town. Still smells like sulfur when you drive through. City Market BBQ is still a great place to eat…
You do have to get a long way out of the huge metroplexes to find the real Texas now…

I don’t know if you are a real LSU fan or not. But I do know that you are an old fart who has spent a lot of time in Austin. Unless I am wrong, only old fart Austin residents call what is now named Ladybird Lake, “Town Lake.”
I was at UT in the 80s to early 90s. IMO like many old UT grads, I think the much smaller Austin was way cooler then. I have lived outside of Texas for over 30 years now. To me, any city as large as the current Austin is way too much of a hassle…

I have to admit, aggy calling out our likely multimillion dollar end zone redesign as a uterus (although it’s actually almost the entire female reproductive system), is pretty dang funny. That’s all I see now when I look at our vaunted end zone.
Only aggy could come up with this…

Aggy here actually speaks the truth. My dad is from Oklahoma. His parents (my grandparents) stuck it out in Oklahoma during the dust bowl, while another part of his family migrated out to California for work. Some fine people in Oklahoma that I now greatly miss.
But Lubbock is unquestionably hell on earth…

I’m sure that Emory is a great school. And if they have a lot of money, great. I hope that a lot goes into healthcare research, training, and expertise that can help all of us.
That said, I don’t know any Texas alums or fans who waste time worrying about competing with Emory. Seems like you are actually wasting everyone’s time here with this thread which you imagined out of thin air?

TLDR: It makes for good message board debate, but the poll is completely invalid. To get a better statistically sound survey (+/- 5 margin of error), you’d need at least 300 players who only rate stadiums they’ve actually played in on a 1–10 scale according to my sources on Gemini AI.
Another dude who took and remembered some statistics!
I get annoyed when writers try to polish their turd analysis with shite science, statistics, or mathematics, then try to swindle their readers with a conclusion which is just as valid as anyone’s random fart…
