He was shut down by a true freshman OT that year as well. Perhaps that’s his kryptonite lol. It’s what he said, but I guess you think you know more about his thoughts than he does.

He can say it was tougher, because he is the person who played in and experienced those games and atmospheres. It is his opinion that playing in Austin against the 2022 Longhorns is the toughest game he has experienced while a Crimson Tide player. That doesn’t sit well with/for some college football fans, but it’s obviously the player’s opinion or he wouldn’t have said it. He was impressed enough with UT to actually come out and say it on record, which is a pretty big deal.

I just thought losses stick with you more than wins in regards to “toughness” but I could be wrong.

Over the same run of games, Saban may say the UT game was not the most difficult for Alabama. Just an opinion of one player, but it does bode well for Texas. Now, can they Longhorns play with that same intensity in every contest for the remainder of the season is the big question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are times when a team wins, and anyone watching the game feels and believes the better team didn’t win. Players feel this as well. I believe this was one of those games and I believe many others do also, and that may very well include Bama players. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly what you said though. You are questioning what he said. I guess you know what he should be thinking!!! Lol…. Maybe Bama should schedule them hillbillies from the state of Appalachia that has yet to be found on the yell leaders map. That might be a tough game.

If they come out with the same intensity and energy as the did last Saturday week end and week out. Then the program has took a big step forward. I am tired of hearing about Alabama, its over lets move on. UTSA will bring all they got Saturday, that's all we should be focused on. If that turns out to be the case then I will feel good about this team and it's chances this year. If it turns out they are just happy about playing Bama close and reading about how good they are then we will take our usual 1 step forward and 2 step back approach I would agree with you if Texas wasn't down to their 3rd string QB and several other starters are out with injuries. Texas will probably lose atleast one of the next 3 games with the QB that they are going to have to trot out. With Ewers healthy and the Conference being down, Texas would be looking at 10-2 record and a likely Big 12 championship appearance. I think they are in trouble this weekend as Traylor and Company are playing their Super Bowl in DKR. Hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do that and lose the game because third 3rd team Qb is not up to the task than fine. I just don't want to see any quit in the team at any time anywhere like last year. There moto need's to be All Gas and No Quit. Play to the final whistle and live with the results. Edited September 15, 2022 by 514 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETXfan16 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Sark from the top rope! He was feisty today. Said Ewers and Card got significantly healthier this week. And Wright has taken advantage of the extra snaps he received. He also said practice was really good this week and one of the best Thursday practice they've had. Card should be okay for Saturday, but they really want him ready to go for conference play. So Wright most likely getting the nod. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRockNewbzz Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 This is very exciting news! I know Sark won't say anything that isn't true, so if it's some of the best practices let's keep that ferocious defense up this week! #AllGasNoBrakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same. Channeling his inner Saban with the media. It's the kind of mentality Texas has been in dire need of since Mack. Mack pampered the media, Strong and Herman got ran over, and now Sark is making sure they know their place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
