They lost to Florida

Sure they lost to FL, but they beat both A&M and OU which are both in the playoff. If this was reversed, we be complaining too. I dont want them in the playoffs just because they are Texas.

Then maybe they shouldn't have lost 3 games.

Cowherd didn't let me down….did a 10 minute recap of his lover Sark. Better floss your teeth cause you got something between them

As I said, I get that part. But just answer this one question: if the South Carolina game was a loss, would you want Elko campaigning for a playoff spot? Because A&M would be a bubble team with a tough case to make there are several two-loss teams in the mix.

Don't you think he owes that respect to his players? And to the fans?

At the end of the day, I don't think Texas is making the playoffs either. But bashing Sark for campaigning for a playoff position is ridiculous. That's literally his job

---

It's not the fact that he's lobbying. It's the fact that he comes off as such a petulant, whiny d-bag in the process. He's arguing with no facts on his side. He's cherry picking data points to try and make folks feel sorry for him and his team. His argument is full of holes and fails to take into account the Horns' full 12-game regular season.

If he wants to whine, at least whine with ALL of the facts. He's not doing that, so he comes off looking like a spoiled brat.

Like I said earlier in this thread, for the first time in their history, Texas is just 1 of 16 equal parts in the SEC. They don't get to make the rules so they get a bigger slice of the pie. They are being treated exactly like everyone else in the league and THEY ABSOLUTELY HATE IT! Knowing that their revenue check is exactly the same as Vanderbilt's and Mississippi State's is blowing their minds. They don't know how to act when everything is equal and it's causing Sark and the Texas fan base to lose their minds.

Sark is an annoying whinny sip but I do not get why people think he should be taking his ball and going home. It just does not work that way. Also, he does believe Texas has an advantage because they are Texas. And... they probably do. Ultimately, that is why everones panties are in a wad.

---

You just answered your own question.

He's annoying and whining and he's using Texas' advantage to circumvent the system because his team didn't perform on the field.

There's nothing wrong with saying you believe you are one of the top 12 teams. As you said, every coach in his position would do that. But the way he is going about it is detrimental to the sport. He is literally trying to blackball the networks into strong-arming the committee to knock a more deserving school out of the playoff.

---

They are a bubble team. He is not trying to circumvent anything. Unless your position is they are not a bubble team, you can't expect him/them not to lobby for the spot.

Take the "they shoud'nt be this or that" out of your thought process. They ARE at #14. They beat #13 in a head to head. They have wins over #3, #6, and #9. Yest they have bad beats. That is why they are a bubble team.

---

Due to tie ins they aren't a bubble team at 14. They need to be at 10 to get in.

---

14 in the AP and coaches poll. That is precisely why they are lobbying. To move up. They are in the discussion regardless of what you or I think. Just turn on any sports media platform. They are a bubble team.

---

They aren't a bubble team except for a few talking heads. ESPN has them at 2%. That's not a bubble team.

---

Don't waste your time with this one. I pointed out to him that you do not see Miami or Vandy coaches lobbying.

His response Texas is justified and they are not. LOL

It's funny to read. Just as sad as Sark's lobbying.

---

Your "point" has nothing to do with reality. They are not in the same situation. It is silly to act like they are. Sark is doing exactly what you would expect Elko to do if the shoe was on the other foot.

I did not say "Texas was justified" you are slow. I said they have 3 losses and should not make the cut. Im 50/50 if they actually get in. Would not shock me either way.

But to act like they should'nt be trying is absurd, naive, and absent of any logical thought process. Of course they should. What do they have to lose? I do not think they are worried about a few ankle biters on TexAgs making fun of their efforts. That is literally the worst thing that comes from their effort. Congrats, you did it. Hercules! Hercules!

If they do get in please check back so we know you are ok.

If the sips had a shred of decency, they would provide Sark with kneepads. His are going to ache after all this.

You want him to build his case on his losses? This is such a weird thread.

Obviously Im a ND fame and gonna be a little biased. I would argue that Texas lost to Florida by 8 points. And if it was just an off day and Texas dominated all the games against weaker opponents after that...then ok...it was just a hiccup game...happens to anybody. But it wasn't just that one time...Texas was down 17 in the 4thQ against crappy Miss State and barely came back to win in OT. Same happened against Kentucky....with Texas needing a narrow win in OT to survive. They got curb stomped by Georgia by 25 points. ND only other hand lost two games to two potential playoff contenders by a combined 4 points. In otherwords, ND lost by less points to those two teams than Texas lost to pathetic Florida alone. ND has since went on a 10 game win streak with an average margin of victory over those 10 games of 29.7 points. And in that win streak, they played ranked USC and ranked Pittsburgh.

It's not 50/50 they get in. They are out. They have zero shot.

In his little rants, does he mention what team he'd take out to put Texas in? And is he making an argument of why Texas deserves to be in over that team?

I mean it's easy to just say "Texas should be in the playoffs", but it becomes much harder when you also have to say which team gets left out because Texas is in.

And all.of that potlicking and begging and crying and it working is why TAMU went to the SEC in the first place to get away from it. Now they crybabies are trying to ply their influence again just like they did when they ruined the big 12. Go figure. This is exactly why A and M tried to leave them behind.

Lost to 4-8 Florida

---

I want him - and every other coach - to build his case on facts. And the fact is Texas has 3 losses, including one to a really, really horrible Florida team. Ergo, he has no case.

Texas is so accustomed to having everything gifted to them. Sure, they've earned plenty, but it's just a way of life for their athletic department and their fans to EXPECT the Horns to be put on a pedestal in every situation. And when they're not on that pedestal, they freak out and think they're being mistreated.

Just accept your L and move on.

That makes no sense, sorry. Would you expect your lawyer to focus on the good facts or the bad facts? I hope the turds get left out and play in some dumpy bowl game. If you can't understand why they are lobbying we just see it different. No L to be given either way.

Teslag said:

It's not 50/50 they get in. They are out. They have zero shot.

I hope you are right. But they are doing exactly what they should be doing. Making their case. If they were SMU I'd say they have zero shot. They are not SMU.


I'm 50/50. That means I would not be surprised at either outcome. I was'nt forecasting a result for the betting public. There are websites for that. In fact, I would not wager... because I am 50/50.

Adios amigos and BTHO the next man up...

Again, lobbying is fine. Sounding like an entitled, whiny d-bag (which is what Sark is doing) is another story. The Big 12 commissioner is making a case for BYU over Notre Dame. I get it...that's his job. But he's doing so in a professional, facts-driven manner.

The Big 10 commissioner is lobbying to have 3 teams in the top 4...OSU, Indiana, and Oregon. I get it...that's his job. And he's also doing so in a professional, facts-driven manner.

There are ways to get Sark's message across without doing a talk show press tour and acting like a titty baby in the process. Unfortunately for Sark, his delivery is awful and his logic is flawed. His interviews are as unprofessional as can be. He can lobby all he wants. He just needs to learn to be better at it than he has been so far.

I don't think some people here understand what multiple losses means. They don't go away because you win certain games. Those ***t stains last the whole season. This isn't difficult.

Texas shouldn't make the playoffs. Yes, Texas defeated 3 teams that finished 10-2 or better: 10-2 (6-2 SEC) Oklahoma, 10-2 (6-2 SEC) Vanderbilt, and 11-1 (7-1 SEC) Texas A&M, but they also lost to 4-8 (2-6 SEC) Florida, who lost to South Florida at home. Losses to 12-0 (9-0 Big 10) Ohio State and 11-1 (7-1 SEC) Georgia were understandable, but a loss to Florida was inexcusable and should prevent Texas from making their 3rd consecutive CFP appearance.

There are 6 SEC teams that finished 10-2 or better: 11-1 Georgia (7-1 SEC), 11-1 (7-1 SEC) Ole Miss, 10-2 (6-2 SEC), 11-1 (7-1 SEC) Texas A&M, 10-2 (7-1 SEC) Alabama, 10-2 (6-2 SEC) Oklahoma, and 10-2 (6-2 SEC) Vanderbilt. 5 of those 6 teams all won their Power 4 nonconference games, and the only exception was Alabama's 31-17 road loss to 5-7 (2-6 ACC) Florida State. If 10-2 Vanderbilt is out, then 9-3 Texas should be out too.

Even Ohio State has a better resume than ND. And the only teams worth mentioning that they've played are Michigan and tu.

Schedule 2 hard games, lose them both, go to the playoffs. Why doesn't everyone race to the bottom like ND?

---

Exactly what Burnt is threatening to do.

It's gross that they continue to campaign for losses to not count.

And great, if you don't want to schedule tough out of conf games don't. It just shows they are afraid and don't truly believe in their program.

They need the most money, the most control, the most PR, and the softest schedule to compete. Right?

Member when they were in the Big 2 with OU. Really it was just OU. Texas did nothing there for 24 years.

Now they cry about it not being fair they had to play OSU who has almost as much money.

Another point for Burnt to consider.

Going by their logic of moving ahead of 2 loss teams for a spot in the playoff. The same logic dictates OSU and Indiana should be moved below UGA, A&M and Ole Miss, OU, Vandy. All play tougher teams.

Problem is, this makes their loss to OSU look worse. They just want special privileges, plan and simple.

Ol miss is going to be taught a lesson and the sips will get that spot.

You are avoiding several things bc you are here debating they deserve to be in. They do not. You are avoiding the truth.

If you were not avoiding the truth, you would state you do not deserve to be in the playoff.

I mean it's a really pathetic look.


You cannot say you are not avoiding anything when you lowed our win over Notre Dame and just now acted like your OT win against Kentucky all that matters is you won. Do you even see what you are doing.

FYI, avoiding reality.

Man up and state you don't deserve to be in the playoff.

---

I'm not debating, nor did I say that Texas deserved to be in.

I also didn't lower the win over ND, I simply stated (incorrectly) that it was an OT win.

I didn't "act like" anything regarding Texas' OT win.

Notre Dame lost two games to top 12 teams. Texas lost two games to top 12 schools.... and one to 4-8 Florida! There are no comparisons.

Very cringe to hear him, whining and begging on Dusty and Danny this morning, listening to SiriusXM

even if the three losses were to the top 3 teams in the country- the fact they couldnt beat any of them would establish that they are definitely not the national champ we are seeking to determine.


It's like if a crowded room of people were trying to determine who there spoke the best Spanish. If three people from from Mexico couldn't understand a word you were saying, it ain't you!
