Time for the AD to resign or be fired
Longhorns have become predictable losers
Longhorns reflect the culture he has implemented
The brand has been over rated for a decade
Football program no longer respected
Time for a change at the top
 
In 8 games we have only beaten, arguably, one semi quality opponent, TCU. For that reason I believe that Sarkisian has been a huge disappointment, if not an abject failure. Even the most pessimistic among us probably would not have predicted a record of 4-4 after Baylor, on October 29th.

So “Losers” is an apt description, both by HtownBevo and HIC, earlier.

Sark must turn this ship around, but I don’t know if he can. I have seen nothing to suggest that anything will change this year, and that really disturbs me.
 
Dropped passes that hit guys right in the hands, one of which would have been a TD. Those hurt. The fumble on a nice run killed a good drive. Lots of issues the players need to work on and get their minds right.
 
We're in the midst of the first season. Of a brand new coach, with two brand new systems. I know the last three games have been disappointing...but holy hell! Show some patience.
 
The fact that we win the first half tells me that we have good coaches. The fact that we lose in 4th quarter following mistakes made in 2nd and 3rd quarter tells me the problem is with the players.

We are going to be fighting and scratching next couple of games due to our talent level. That is the reality. Sure we want a win in every game but we lack talent and depth. Sure we want to hold every every lead. Ok we don't have the hosses this year. But Sark will get us there.

Talent should be measured against the competition. We certainly don’t measure up against the talent at Alabama, Ohio State or Georgia, to name three obvious examples. But our talent does compare favorably to that possessed by OSU, Baylor and every other team left on the schedule. So I would disagree with your assessment. Development issues? Yes. But not talent.

Today, players simply didn’t make plays, particularly Moore & Washington. I also believe that Kwiatkowski and Sarkisian have not had a stellar years although both are more than capable, and the defense (in particular) did enough late today to give us a chance to win.

Finally, unlike last year, this team lacks leadership. Sam was all that. We don’t have a player this year that has stepped into that role, a “go-to” player in crunch time.
 
I think people get sensitive to the name calling and sentiment associated with the name "loser". But it is hard to deny we are battling a loser mentality on this team. We get tentative when things start to go against us and we have folded in the face of adversity in the 2nd half. Just watch Casey's body language before the 4th down play to end our chances, he was hanging his head and had slumping shoulders. That's our QB we needed to make a big play to keep the drive going on the next play.

It's a losing mentality that I think has taking over the locker room, the coaching staff and the fan base. I'm watching Nebraska lose to Purdue and they are suffering from the same thing.

I don't know who the leaders are in the locker room but we had a big chance during the bye week to exorcise those demons, have the players rally around each other and get rid of the defeated mentality. It looks like that didn't happen.

I think we'll limp to 6-6, I'll hope for 7-5 and then trust Sark and staff will build on this year and start fresh next year. Looking at how Aranda and Tucker have improved in their 2nd years gives me hope. Honestly Sparty had a few games last year where they looked filled with the loser mentality and their alumni were bitching about the Tucker hire. Those same alumni are getting chit faced drunk in celebration of their 8-0 start and today's victory over their rival.

I'll stand by Sark and K but there are demons to get rid of in our mentality.

I agree we don't have talent like Alabama but the posters talk like we should be 7-1 as if we are like Alabama

Yep, guys like me are lambasted for saying this stuff, I didn't realize there was a limitation on it, but we keep watching and hoping for improvement. Sounds like being a true fan to me.

I still think sark can get things turned around. Next year will be rough, too, I predict, however.

I don't view as losers. I view us as not having the winning mentality
But that will come some day when Sark has the right leaders, either by good recruiting or good portals/transfers.

I think we will have a whole new makeover with starters in 2022.
 
NO BOWL GAME!

This group doesn't need more practice, they need a change in mental attitude or hit the portal. December needs to be a month of reflection, not practice; a month of "what ifs" and self reflection - how do I get better. An extra 3-4 weeks of practice will just result in more of the same ****.
 
Yes we aren’t good. But the same people who wanted Texas to get beat last year by Iowa State and not make it in the Big 12 champ game, are the same people posting Loser posts. Go figure.

Whatever you say there, Professor.

If you wanted TH to stay around, that says more about you. But, feel free to spew more nonsense.
 
Herman wasn’t good enough. But seeing you all In Iowa State gear would of been fun. Maybe as much fun as watching you all buy drinks to the bear fans calling your Longhorn’s —losers.

It's funny that you make sense on West Mall but babble and ramble on here.

Try to keep up here. If anyone was saying that Texas losing last year wouldn't be bad in the long run so TH would be gone, that was it. What don't you understand about that?

And, are you calling posters here losers? Again?

:lmao:
