Texas had lots of lucky, and unlucky breaks. Glad for Sark to finally beat OSU or UGA. What a relief!!! Hopefully a new trend.

As I recall, Gilbert came from obscurity to Oklahoma State to Texas, so he didn't play under Briles, unless I am missing something? That's not to say his style of play wasn't similar to what Briles did. My memory of that year was a bad Oline, making the offense problematic.

FWIW "On event-contract prediction platforms like Kalshi, traders price the likelihood of Swinney leaving or being fired before Dec. 1, 2026, at just 1%. Market analysts attribute the low probability directly to the $57 million lump-sum requirement and the absence of offset relief for Clemson...

You may be right. One thing to understand is that his buyout goes from 57 million this year to 60 million next, so waiting a year makes the buy out worse. It's not clear if Clemson has enough rich boosters, that are willing to fund this change. Obviously a few more blow out losses could make...

One significant difference between Clemens and those no name schools is resources. Clemson averages 80k for it's football games, and their latest recruiting classes have mostly ranked in the top 20. I'm not saying Clemson doesn't suck, but given their resources and recruiting classes, they...

I remember when things look bad for Charlie Strong they brought in Sterlin Gilbert to try to rejuvenate the offense. The move gave fans and recruits enough hope that they didn't abandon the team. In general those type of moves rarely move the needle, but it seems like if they could get Swinney...

One significant difference is that Gundy had a 15 million buy out, vs 57 million for for Swinney. Plus unfortunately for Clemson Swinnwy's contract has no offsets. A large part of these decisions are driven by economics. If things continue on their current trajectory then lots of fans will stop...

This reminds me of when Texas played Nebraska in the BIG12 championship game, where Colt threw the ball out of bounds as the clock was running out. Replay clearly showed the ball hitting a railing with 1 second remaining. I was actually at that game, and it was very confusing from the stands...

Each year it's becoming more clear that Dabo is either unable, or unwilling to thrive in the era of NIL and the transfer portal. Clemson is in a terrible position. Swinney is not only the most successful coach they have had, but he is the coach that brought them from obscurity to the top of...

On the one hand it's not too egregious, but on the other hand it's awesome locker room material fir Texas. I wonder how Elko feels about that statement.

I suspect Sark not saying something more neutral, implies the behavior had to be fairly egregious. This is sure to make any potential suiters to tread carefully.

with all of the NIL money, I will be surprised if some player doesn't go to court to play his 5th year at different school. Considering that the change in the rule happened after the portal window, IMHO they would have a reasonable argument.

I hate pre season predictions, particularly ones that put TX on top. We don't need an even bigger target on our backs, or any rat poison.

It's hard for me to imagine the SEC breaking away. Assuming the SEC and the B1G are working together, then that's most of the money and fan interest. My guess is the other conferences will eventually agree to any somewhat reasonable proposal put forth by the SEC/B1G.

If they keep the playoffs selection the same, where losses matter more then anything, then it's true. The SEC and the B1G have all the power on the playoffs format and selection process. Hopefully they will drive the process to not penalize a challenging schedules. One proposal that seems to...

H He's entitled to his opinion, but the fact that his list has a big picture of Sark makes it an obvious and idiotic troll post.

For sure that plays a role, although some developmental players require less. Lots of factors, it's like a 5 dimensional chess game.

With the 105 limit, and no spring portal window it will be interesting to see how many each school takes.
