re: Top Blue Bloods of all time list

The melt that these lists create is worth the price of admission.
That being said, Oklahoma is top 5 without a doubt. No way do we belong in front of them.
also Bama is #1 and it's not even close.

Jalen Hurts said there was nothing like playing in Dallas in the Cotton Bowl with the State Fair going on and the crowd being 50/50 and somebody screaming on every play. He said Iron Bowl was cool and all but it was still just a home and away game.
I love the Aggie and Sooner rivalries equally, but they are different. Very different.

But it’s fun to downplay Aggie. Drives them nuts.
The back and forth is one of the things I love about the Aggie rivalry. I'm really happy to have it back.

This ESPN documentary premiered on the SEC Channel last night, and tells the story of the epic clash between Texas and Alabama at the 1983 CWS. Some terrific athletes from both teams are interviewed, including Roger Clemens and Calvin Schiraldi (who was a better pitcher than Clemens at the time) for Texas, and first baseman David Magadan for Alabama. Magadan was the best hitter in the country that season, with an eye-popping .525 batting average. His college career batting average of .439 is still the SEC record.
I was there. My first CWS. Dad took me. I remember being scared every time Magadan came up to bat.
I'm sure a Longhorn will be along to tell everyone that we don't care as much at the Aggies as they care about us.
which is total bullshite. We care every bit as much as they do.

it depends on who you ask.
For me it's Texas/OU and Texas/Texas A&M
For a Bama fan it's Bama/Auburn
this is one of those questions that will never be settled but people will never stop arguing about it.

Sark was a bounce or two away from winning it in 2024 against OSU.
I'm not sure we watched the same game. At no point during that game did I get the feeling that "we're going to win this". Sark has just been outmatched in games like that since he got here, other than the Alabama game. Still don't know how he won that one.
At least we don't have the annual Georgia loss on our schedule this season.
quote:
Sark will have the most talented roster he's had, but of course the season will depend on the OL, which will have to significantly improve from last year.
Would love to be wrong about Sark. I don't think I am, but I'd gladly eat crow.

Texas - National Champs
There are more than enough data points on Sark to know he's never going to win it all yet they keep picking us. Maybe one day they'll learn.

Well, I personally didn’t do jack shite but if it helps to be angry, then have at it. The ags earned it this weekend.

Welcome to the SEC
You might be surprised to learn that we’ve actually lost some series in other conferences as well.
This has nothing to do with the SEC and everything to do with the Aggies showing up this weekend and we never left Austin. Give them credit.
Congrats ags

You showed up to play this series. We did not. Congrats. I knew your team had a very good offense, but I think they’re even better than I thought they were.

Wanting a title is fine, but acting like Sark hasn’t already turned Texas into one of the few programs consistently operating at an elite level is BS.
quote:
National title or bust is a ridiculous standard.
I said sec or natl title. You don’t expect an “elite” coach, in his 6th season to win either? In 6 years? I’m not sure you understand what elite means. there are very few coaches who fit in that category.
Look at his record vs top 5, top 10 teams. In the last few years he is winless against both OSU and Georgia. An elite coach would not be winless in those game. Just ask Indiana what an elite coach looks like.
never said he was a bad coach. In fact, I think he's a good coach but elite? that's laughable. Next few years of treading water at 9-10 wins will prove it...but i do realize some of you need more time to see it. It's all good. Take a look at the data.
Steve Sarkisian career win % (~.630) is well below elite tier (~.750–.800+)
No national championships (elite coaches usually have at least one)
Only recent success at Texas—not sustained across entire career
Early head coaching stops (Washington/USC) were good, not dominant
Inconsistent perception—not universally ranked top 5 by experts
Limited wins vs top-tier playoff teams (the true measuring stick)
Bottom line: Good coach, trending up—but resume isn’t elite.
if you think he is, the next few years are going to be painful for you...but your optimism is commendable. Nothing wrong with it. You are just going to have to accept that not everyone agrees with you. Throwing insults because someone doesn't agree with you is grade school comedy.

I'm starting to think Sark slept with your girlfriend
if you want to make a sig bet I'd be happy to. We don't win an sec or national title this year. Care to bet?
What exactly has he accomplished that makes so much of our fanbase think this is a championship level coach? He's good...but he's not elite. I stand by that. If you disagree. Bet me.

Texas falls apart this year due to Steve Sarkisian.
we won't "fall apart". Sark isn't a terrible coach, he's just not an elite coach. We'll win 9-10 games, as usual, but won't sniff a title. Rinse and repeat with Sark.
