A peck is common welcome in many cultures. You can’t explain away backshots in the dugout.

Way to shut the door on this one properly. yesterday was so uncharacteristic.

Oklahoma, Little UT, and Aggy have all been first round exits. No wins. Who cares?

It appears the entirety of the public education budget was forked over to land this class. I’m sure the children’s hospital wasn’t spared either. What happens if LSU wins 8 games?

They were pretty close in 2012 as well. Slaughtered Miami. Beat OU & Texas. Then got blown out by one of Art Briles Post RG3 teams. Art Briles at Baylor is another interesting coach study. 2015 Baylor was one of the best squads that never was. They were absolutely loaded with NFL talent and had an innovative run based offense. I think a dozen guys on that team had season ending injuries and they still managed to win 10 games, not to mention a bowl win over North Carolina where they ran exclusively out of wildcat.

I thought Miami proved last night that the blue blood approach will always be preferable to an extent. Miami had favorable matchups all over the field, their defensive line dominated. When Toney was in space, IU defenders looked frozen. Cristobal running the ball only 20 times is what lost the game in my opinion. IU had multiple huge 4th down conversions, drives extended by penalties, special teams TD, and still needed a late Carson Beck meltdown to win. All the dozen variables that lead to this result will be difficult to replicate. Especially the injury luck of Indiana with a razor thin depth chart.
Snyder vs Cignetti

I’m a younger guy, but I was a somewhat conscious college football fan towards the tail end of Snyders run at K-State. They won with a similar dynamic to Indiana. They utilized the Kansas JUCO farm system to inject developed experienced players into the system, barely recruiting HS guys. Very well coached, few penalties, run the frick out the ball. They weren’t just feasting on Big12 North teams, they were beating OU & Texas. They were scheduling USC, Miami, etc. Snyder never could quite reach the national title game though, he’d always drop a game he shouldn’t have to prevent a berth. Which is a more impressive turnaround? 16-0 at Indiana has to be the all-time greatest.

The Denver Longhorns. I can’t believe Ponna is still in the league. What a monster.

Heard he wasn’t too happy in College Station and Texas had holes to fill. They’re not paying this kid much.
re: Will Texas or Texas A&M ever schedule an OOC series with Texas Tech?

I think we can all agree Texas & A&M being in the SEC isn’t optimal for the sport. It’s all about revenue.

You could count on one hand any HS recruited OOS kid from the South that have played significant snaps for Texas in Sarks tenure. You wouldn’t even need all five fingers.

Texas has been top 10 in lowest portal start percentage since its inception.
Repairing College Football
Posted by EastTXHorn on 1/14/26 at 9:23 am
What can be done at this point? What would it take to provide some structure? Some of the best lawyers in the world have analyzed Texas’s contract stuff, if they don’t have teeth, I assume none of them do. Is there any tangible band-aids? Some of my favorite Longhorns of recent memory probably wouldn’t have been recruited by Texas or been retained long enough to make an impact. Alfred Collins, 5th year senior late bloomer, one of the best young IDL in the NFC. Jahdae Barron, Thorpe winner, was buried on the depth chart at times. Tvondre Sweat, took multiple years to get his body right, probably wouldn’t have finished a Longhorn. Byron Murphy, probably wouldn’t be offered by Texas in the current climate. The list goes on and on. Texas will thrive in any circumstance, but I’m a college football fan first.

Arch has an Ohtani setup. He's taking minimal payment from the University. He is making most of his money from endorsements.

One of things I’ve actually enjoyed about the portal is Texas kids coming home to UT from all over the country. I feel Sark missed the mark chasing so many non-Texas boys in the portal this season. There’s Texas kids in every school in America playing heavy P4 snaps.

Barnes wanted to be paid starter money for four tackles on the season. It’s difficult to convince these guys to stick around and develop. Great size and great closing speed. Would have loved for him to stick around to see what kind of player he turns into.

A little better records, but similar results. Always fall short or get embarrassed.

Texas has never been ballers in the portal. Past and current players will tell you. We got some discounts on guys like Isaiah Bond and AD Mitchell. Texas does spend a ton in the HS ranks, but that just seems like an insane strategy today.

Texas & Ohio State are having the same issues. The mid tier programs are going to be able to put together some lethal one year rental rosters if they’re smart.

When has that actually ever been reality outside of message boards? If anything, Tech is the one daring the NCAA to tell them anything. Market changing deals for everyone.
