Thoughts on what happened to No. 1 Texas in a 14-7, season-opening loss to No. 3 Ohio State
The defense has outperformed the offense throughout Sark's tenure (except for year 1). It is very difficult, and rare, for a HC to be an elite OC at the same time. I don't think Sark can do it. He needs to find someone to call plays. It's no knock on him; it's almost universal that teams have separate playcallers. There's just too much going on simultaneously to not delegate that job.

6 Days Until Kickoff — Who’s Your Favorite No. 6?
I watched the 2019 game vs Baylor with Case McCoy at a hotel bar. We were both there for different family events, but watched Texas get our butts kicked all the way to the bitter end. The game sucked, but Case couldn't have been nicer.

6 Days Until Kickoff — Who’s Your Favorite No. 6?
Cosby's career was so interesting because he came back to college football after spending four years playing pro baseball. That is so rare. Jammer was my favorite for years. He was a beast as a college player. I don't think we've had a corner as dominant at the college level. The rule changes in the NFL limited his success somewhat, but he still played for a decade or so as a starter in the League.

Anyone who turned off the game at halftime will be kicking themselves.

Wheelin & Dealin- Arch and Heid Manning
This is so funny. I needed something lighthearted.

24 Days Until Kickoff — Who’s Your Favorite No. 24?
That McKelvey thing was crazy. I remember being in the superdome listening to the pregame chatter as it was unfolding. @Jeff Howe That was awesome that you had a former UT player as a coach. Love that tidbit. He played during my time on campus. Fun years.

Reporting Day: Media availability with Texas coordinators, assistant coaches
Not sure I like this as an identity. It sounds like a year's supply of unnecessary penalties, giving opponents a free set of downs.

OU QB John Mateer’s passing chart versus bowl eligible teams (plus Wyoming)
I saw this headline and misread it. I was wondering why Tom Herman and John Mateer were in the same story.

Kaewe Brown
Sad for the kid. Not getting a formal offer when you want one is hard. Hopefully Sark didn’t string him along, but it sounds like he was honest and told the player that Texas isn’t taking him. I hope he finds a good spot and thrives.

Not sure what this will be
He only ever coached to get Shaddeur more NFL attention. He was never going to coach college football long-term. I didn’t expect him to stay with the Buffs once his son was in the NFL.

Texas announces complete 2025-26 non-conference basketball schedule
My wife went to LeMoyne. That will be interesting in the SyracuseHorn household.

Just out of curiosity...
Double post. My bad.

Rick Beato and Professor of Rock are great for celebrating the joy of music. At least from a Gen-X perspective.

Rece Davis anecdote from Sark
Reece was pretty bullish on the Longhorns. I wasn't expecting that. Thanks for sharing the video @Texus.

Jaydon Blue update
So some dude who hasn't been around the game in 20+ years has inside knowledge of behind-the-scenes happenings with a rookie RB? As my son would say, that's sus.

Why is Burke drying himself with a towel during an interview? I haven't watched the whole video yet.

Going for the Belichick/Fetterman award for style.

SEC Media Days live thread: Thursday
The Aggies being an afterthought at SEC Media Days - after the Longhorns garnered so much attention - has to just eat little brother from the inside. So, so sad for them. Poor Aggies. At least some people heard their fight song when Sark was introduced.

Greg Sankey apologizes for the SEC's fight song snafu on Tuesday
The difference here is that Sankey was not happy about the appearance of some kind of disrespect toward member institutions. Even if it was unintentional. Yormark, commissioner of the BigXII, was actively throwing gas on the fire for disrespectful conduct. Rivalries and college sports fans are going to needle each other. It's part of the fabric. But the conference should be neutral, and that's what Sankey's comments address.

What questions does the OTF community have for Texas at SEC Media Days?
Where are the explosive plays going to come from, especially in the RB room?
-
SEC Network on Texas at Media Days
The panel on SEC Network questions Texas' toughness in the trenches, and the overall toughness of the program. Says we look pretty, but they don't think we have a good foundation. It was a bit insulting, but man, Sark can use that kind of talk to send a message to his team.

We making a big run at Derek cooper?
I hope there's some fire behind this smoke. We really need a high level RB.

Ryan Niblett backpack 🤣
He's doing everything he can to get on the field. 😄

Malakai Lee (12:15pm CST)
Getting shutout at OT and RB would sting. Let's hope something breaks our way.
