Honestly this is a little embarrassing. Texas isn’t $hit. They are 5-2 and very likely to be 5-3 after today. And we are hoping to get up to being competitive with Kentucky and Utoothless? I think I see the plan, lose so many games this year that 8-4, 9-3 and 3rd in the East next year will be viewed as “progress”.
Look, I have no idea where our season goes or theirs. This time last year, Sark was a looking like a giant mistake as losses piled up and on-field performance was meh to middling. But he was recruiting at an elite level and had pieces to perform better.
They've won a few close games, lost a few others (both with Ewers sidelined for all or part of the game), and have played down at times.
They're a large school with history & tradition in a recruiting hotbed and tons of financial resources from a monied & passionate fanbase.
No analogy is perfect; but it's the only silver lining I can see. With the recruiting class we have, pushing out a few underperformers--and adding via the transfer portal, anything can happen next year. We have a great RB room, a QB who's probably coming back, and should have a Pearsall and a few other WRs back next year. A year two bounceback isn't wildly over-optimistic IF Napier is a good coach. We'll see.
