re: Texas: WILL NEVER WIN A BIG GAME WITH SARK

He will do fine as soon as he realizes he shouldn't be calling plays. TBD on when/if that happens but if it does you likely will be proper fricked so enjoy it now
I agree, he needs someone as OC. He can still run his own offense, but he needs a good down and distance guy in the booth to bounce ideals off of and question him..He outsmarts himself too much with his tricky and flashy play calling at times, he needs a guy to reign him in.

Ewers kept you in that game. Trust me, Arch won’t be the savior you hope. That said. 1st and 1. Come on Sark you moron.
I didn't mean put Arch in the entire game. I meant put him in for that short yardage play where they need 1 yard for a TD...
They have had a ton of success converting those short yardage plays where they just need a couple of yards with him in the backfield as a running QB threat in other games, but it's Sark and he tries to get too tricky and flashy and outsmarts himself and totally abandons what works..
The defense was great and Texas offense had so many opportunities and blew it.

Sark is a terrible coach
No doubt. Mack blows that Ohio State Team out. 1st and goal at the 1 and they don't put Arch in to have a second run threat at QB? And they pitch the ball and lose 7 yards? Sark needs to fire himself as OC...

I don't think Ohio State gets the initial surge they've enjoyed in other games against Texas Defense, and that is going to mess with their mentality and make it a dog fight and a close game...It's going to be tough for Texas to win though..Ewers has to have his best game of the season and not miss wide open receivers or tough throws downfield.

If Ewers was worth a damn they would easily win the NC. They have the best OL and DL in the country.
Texas does not have the best DL in the country. That belongs to Georgia.
If Texas has supposedly has the Best OL in the country, it's the laziest, most penalized best OL ever. I think the OL is more overrated than the DL at Texas...
re: Face it….Sankey screwed up the best conference ever by turning it into the Big 12.

I think you mean NIL...It's not so fun when everyone can buy players, right? And get away with it without being penalized by NCAA..

The oregon game was billed as the "true national championship" and it was an intense game for both teams. We might catch osu a little flat if we're lucky. We need to get really lucky to have a prayer in this game.
I agree, it will be almost a miracle. Sark can scheme to get receivers open, but Ewers has to make the dang throws, and that's the big question...If he hits pay dirt on a couple of big plays early that could rattle their confidence..Texas almost has to do it early in the game...If it doesn't go well early for Texas Offense it is going to get ugly fast and there won't be any come back.

It's going to get out of hand fast if they jump up on us quickly and Sark panics and completely abandons the run. Putting the game on Quinn's arm against that defense would be really ugly.
That's the key for Texas, stop the initial surge by Ohio State or limit it to as few points as possible.. .Then it becomes a dog fight. Oregon wasn't prepared for the initial surge and let them move the ball and score at will.
They gotta get pressure on Ohio State's QB early and often, and try to contain their run game early at the same time. Going to be a gigantic job...
Ewers can't keep missing open receivers downfield with over throws or under throws. He's gotta be perfect, or they have no shot at all.
re: Corruption...explain how that was not targeting?

if this had been any other SEC team the narrative here would be "That's SEC football. Man up pussies"...but when it's texas they all turn into whiny 13 year old girls. It's fascinating.
Don't try to bring logic into this.
I'm honestly shocked that call went Texas way for once...Leaving the Big 12 is already paying dividends. A Big 12 crew would have made sure Texas lost and got no make up calls for any of their screwups.

I swear... You do realize that the ASU guy did not hit him in the head or neck on that play. He threw up his hands to avoid targeting.
His head and neck literally jerked back on the play and he spun him around in the air. The fact that he lifted his hands, doesn't mean jack. He launched into a defenseless reciever that was falling forward trying to go for the ball and nailed him in the head and neck area with his forearm and shoulder, then raised his arm after the fact to try to look innocent ..Literally almost the same as a cutback block. The receiver was diving for the ball, and the defender launched and blindsided him while he was defenseless in the air before the ball could have even got to him..
The Taafe hit was facemask to facemask. If he was hitting a QB lining up to throw the ball then, yeah, it would have been more egregious. He was hitting a ball carrier though that was about to start running. Both were on the ground with feet planted. It could have been called either way, in my opinion. Looked like a textbook tackle to me with the facemask up and unintentional contact to the helmet.

What about
When you see or hear this at the start of a someone's rebuttal you know right away they don't have a good answer to the argument.
Whenever you see an OU or A&M fan post about a Texas game, you need to be skeptical as well and understand their statement will contain 50% hate and 50 % bias and BS.
I was just saying the officiating was bad both ways in that game. In my opinion, both could have been called for targeting easily, but neither play resulted in the penalty. It was tit for tat.

Now review all the bad calls/ missed calls that went ASU's way in that game. It was a wash by the end of the game, the refs were so bad...

I can honestly say that was the worst call I've ever seen in all of my years of watching football.
What about the other targeting call they reviewed in the same game where the ASU player launched himself off the ground into the defenseless Texas receiver and hit him high in the head and neck area? That was a no call too and a more intentional hit..
Screw the ASU fans, their team got away with just as much crap in that game, let em whine...
re: The decline of Bama should be studied in schools
Posted by AZHorn on 1/2/25 at 10:25 am
It would be a short class given on the decline. You would see a video of a dump truck full of bag money from Alabama getting mowed over by a train full of NIL money from other schools like Texas, Ohio State, A&M, etc. Maybe a couple of videos of Saban whining about the pitfalls of paying players and NIL, knowing his gravy train was over.
The end...

This is far more malicious than the Taaffe hit but I don’t see anybody bleeding about this no call?
Yes, everyone forgets that, but the ASU player launched himself to hit Bond high while he was defenseless. That was way more intentional than what Taafe did to the ASU player.

Ewers isn’t all world but acting like removing him will make your team unstoppable is a common theme amongst Texas fans this year and it’s simply untrue. Your line couldn’t block Georgia in both games and somehow couldn’t have any push against an Arizona state team that isn’t anything special in the front 7.
I don't think it will make them unstoppable, but he is more mobile than Ewers and throws a more accurate deep ball. Half of Texas Oline and Ewers are nursing injuries right now, and they are playing backup running backs all year...Arch could give them a boost in rushing and help the Oline by being more mobile than Ewers...Too late now though to switch horses mid stream.

Texas isn’t beating Ohio State by pushing them around. Just as much, if not more, NFL talent on that defensive line. They need to use intermediate passing game. The run + deep bomb offense that we’re seeing is just lazy and doesn’t play to Quinn’s strengths at all. He’s not been a very good deep ball passer.
They should have made Arch the starter several games ago...Quinn has been hurt for 2/3rds of the season and scared to get hit now and not playing 100 percent. He's inconsistent as frick..
re: Root cause of SEC’s Decline

the root cause is that Nick Saban got old and retired. He raised the standard above all others. Either he was going to win the championship or you beat him and you win the championship.
Kirby's probably the best now but he's not Saban
Has Saban ever won crap when he didn't have an advantage like boosters buying the best players bag money could buy? He was crapola in the NFL as a head coach, and he was starting to show cracks in the armor when NIL kicked in for college and made it like NFL lite...No more bag money to stack the bench for him at BAMA when other teams could pay more, legally...No more under the table shady recruiting practices for him to benefit from.
He knew NIL was going to take him down with schools like Texas and Ohio State and unfortunately A&M having way more booster money...That's why he wanted out fast...The writing was on the wall.
re: Ok haters, can you now admit, the playoff committee

It's not the committee, it's the format.
12 teams is too many. It should go back to 4.
They should probably have just 8 team playoff and no bye for the top 4 teams in the first round, 12 is bad, it sucks for the teams that have to play in a conference champ game and then play 1st round of playoffs. Too many chances for injuries for players that could get drafted.
12 team playoff is good for the fans, not necessarily the players.
