Sarkisian

Texanne has cred that you will learn after you have been here a little longer.
I miss Texanne's old sig, though, which was either all or part of: "You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons."
Which in my mind was applicable to both Aggies and Sooners...
 
Well, I was impressed and encouraged with the way, Coach Sarkisian, aka Not Sark, aka Winner, used motion, misdirection, pocket protection, excellent blocking, players skills and outstanding effort to control the game. He manipulated the Buckeyes defense over and over. Loved it!
 
In the name of all that is holy, can we please call our new coach “Sarkisian“ instead of “Sark”? Every time I see that, it reminds me of the way aggy has to give a stupid nickname to every single person that ever walked on that campus.
If and when he gets a bit testy and sarcastic at a press conference, we can call him "Snark." :rolleyes1:

If he's animated, and lighting a fire under our team, we can call him "Spark." :fire:
 
Slick, Woo, Ham, Lam, Jam, Bam Bam, and Boom all say Hello
And we cannot forget the very recent, "Boo" for a certain QB who played well for us for a little while. And Woo I remember as "Woo-Woo" Wooster. And "Rosey" Leaks.
The nick name has a glorious history that must be preserved! :soapbox:
 
Thankfully it did not turn into a "Herman with sledgehammer" gif
(or "Herman pinching nipples" gif)
(or "Herman double rods" gif)

 
Thought the press conference was outstanding. A few points he made that stuck with me:
  • (For Longhorn Nation) "That's my football team, that's something I'm proud of."
  • "We are clearly the flagship university in the Great State of Texas."
  • "Our goal is to out-prepare and out-coach our opponent every week."
  • (For Texas high school coaches) "This is your program - the door is always open."
  • "Key is to know who you are, believe in who you are, and stick with those beliefs."
  • "You've never really a coach until you've been fired. After that you focus on ways to get better and better."
  • (For current and prospective players who want to be the next Najee Harris or Lavonte Smith) "You need to understand what they did to there and we will work with you to develop to that point."
  • (Today's players) "Need the guidance, they need the leadership."
Throughout it all, he was genuine, used reporter's names when responding (which is big for me), and humble. He stressed relationships and talked about perseverance and overcoming. On top of it all, when asked about The Eyes, his response was "That's our song - we support it and sing it proudly."

I like this guy...
