The University of Texas vs. Texas a$m

They aren’t 8-4 in the SEC; they are 4-4. Not respectable, mediocre. 
We should be so lucky

Texas is on the upswing but we have a long way to go

just look at Arkansas

it was perennial powerhouse in the Southwest Conference but an also-ran in the SEC

Arkansas gave up its Texas recruiting when it changed conferences. The same as Nebraska when they moved. aggy is aggy they went from 4-4 in the Big 12 to 4-4 in the SEC.  Granted that’s the same as us in the Big12 right now. 
 

But our ceiling is higher than aggy because, well, they are aggy but mainly because we’re Texas.

I agree that Arkansas is not getting as many 4 and 5 star Texas plays as it used to

I wonder if the athletic director ( who may have been Frank Broyles) expected that?

it hurt them

now who knows?

maybe the move of Texas to the SEC and an annual matchup with the Razorbacks will help their recruiting here

 
I’m watching orangeblood with Geoff Ketchums and he is VERY negative of quinn ewers

specifically that ewers is not progressing mentally

Ketchums is often wrong

but not always

Sark talks very highly of both Ewers and Card.  Sark is working with both of them on a daily basis and is a respected QB expert.

 Ketch at most sees a few plays, and wants to get attention.  Hard to imagine why anyone would take him seriously on this.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, but it's still broken

Nebraska's demise came about once Texas joined the Big 12 and forced the elimination of the "partial qualifier."

Does Ketch look like he's ever played the position?

Sark played the position. 

 
8&4 in the South East Conference is a very respectable record for any team other than Alabama

I think you fail to appreciate how tough its going to be for Texas when we get there
But that's not 8-4 in the Southeast Conference. Thats three cupcakes and then five SEC wins.

So thats 5-4 in the SEC. Thats not real respectable. But why are you bellyaching now about the SEC? You guys wanted to go. You hold that conference higher than your own school. You rely on moral victories to feel good about it all. Mizzou has been the conference championship game, but you haven't. 

I think what you fail to appreciate is how you're spending $100 million on a coach who is no better than Sumlin was.

You spelled "mediocre" wrong, aggy. Especially when reviewing your overall SEC record.

46-35 = 56%

Actually, that's better than A&M did in the SWC or Big 12. 

 
But that's not 8-4 in the Southeast Conference. Thats three cupcakes and then five SEC wins.

I am not an A&M fan

I expect Texas to win 9 games this year

but some people here think Texas is championship caliber in the SEC when we havent even claimed a Big 12 championship in a decade

I don't remember anyone saying that on this board. A lot of hope for a better season, yes, but no talk of being ready for an SEC championship, yet. 

When you get knocked down, you hope that when you get back up, you don't get knocked down again. Without that hope, you don't get up. Your message is coming across as advice to just stay down, whether you mean it that way, or not. That's why some are seeing maroon raindrops on our orange parade. 

Have some orange koolaid, my friend. It's free. ?

I don't think anyone on this board has said anything about an SEC championship or thinks we'll walk in and win a title. Thats nonsense because no one is talking about a championship.

We've watched while aggy has struggled to stay in the middle of the pack in a division of a conference, so we know its a tough league for aggy. Its so tough that Mizzou won a division only once and aggy hasn't won anything at all.

We've watched while some schools have sold the kitchen sink for a coach who can take them to the promised land – only to see them show no improvement over what they had before.

I think we understand how hard it will be. lol
