Speaker 1: See I'm throwing this quote at you and it's unfortunately
going to a UT fan.
Speaker 2: What does that mean because you're gonna well, you've run
on biased. Listen to your voice? Sorry, why John? That
voice already?
Speaker 1: Kind of what happened when Sark called out that reporter
and said something stupid? What did I say? Did I
defend him? You said Steve Sarcazi and is godlike? Yeah, exactly, No,
I didn't say that. I said that it was ridiculous
and he shouldn't have said it. And I also I
think I called him out on shut you obam mass up.
I don't know how you're gonna run you mess up? Yeah,
rocket all feisty. He was asked about the team struggles
against P four teams. Yes, quote, I mean, how many
teams are there in college football? One hundred and thirty six.
Take the other one hundred and thirty five and have
them go play at Ohio State and at the Swamp
see how they do. Okay, So let me go first
before you have a chance to think about it. Okay, Well,
I've heard these comments before. You are the freaking University
of Texas. You are a national program. You are expected
to compete for and potentially win national championships. You were
expected to play top flight competition. You are expected to
not play Utah State and Central Arkansas and Eastern Missouri
and those other dregs. You are to play the Thoroughbreds,
the number ones that the landmark Hall of Fame upper
echelon school, like the reigning national champion on the road. Correct,
I no shame in that whatsoever. Complaining about playing at Florida.
You joined the SEC, your decision. No one forced you,
nobody pulled you into the SEC.
Speaker 2: You knew.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Steven Persa, I'm talking about anybody
you knew at the University Texas. You're going to be
playing a much higherly competition. Look, I love the Big Twelve.
I'm happy to be in it. But the Big twelve
isn't as good as SEC. The SEC is number one
conference and it's going to be that way probably for
the rest.
Speaker 2: Of the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so that's what good is says you drop
in a little. Well, what do you expect going to Florida?
I expect you to be the better football team. I
expect you to have forgetting about nil, forgetting about you.
Just you are two time national semi finalist game, you're
supposed to go win at Florida. Florida is in a
down period of their time, Billy and Apier is on
very thin ice at the University of Florida. You've got
the number one quarterback in the country, you have routinely
top ten fifteen recruiting classes nationally.
Speaker 2: You're supposed to win those games.
Speaker 1: Now, Florida and Florida's competitive sec is difficult, But blaming
who you have to play as to well nobody else
could do this is apparently ridiculous. Okay, there's a couple
things here. First of all, I don't think he's blaming
and saying, well, yeah, their schedule has been super hard.
He said, well, they he was asked about beating Power
four teams and they've only played two Power four teams
and those were on the road in the Shoe and
on the road in the swamp.
Speaker 2: And it is a.
Speaker 1: Fact those are two very difficult road environments. But also, yes,
he's being overly defensive and arrogant. What I guess he
wants is he wants to play Kentucky and South Carolina
every No. No, I think he's saying, yeah, you're saying
come back to me in a few weeks when we
haven't had to play two in the toughest road.
Speaker 2: Vice.
Speaker 1: I get where he's coming from. He's just framing it
in a very arrogant way, because well he's he's a
college head coach and Steve sarkis and is, as we've
seen in front of reporters, very arrogant.
Speaker 2: So here's how I think you do it, and you go, man.
Speaker 1: We have played a really, really tough schedule, going to
Ohio State and going to Florida so far in the
first month and a half of the season. It's presenter
of challenges and we look forward to bouncing back. I
think you can always turn it to a positive spin
because that's who you are. You have to have some
sort of dynamic ability in front of a microphone. You
just have to he should, yes, what he's kind of
in the ballpark of how he should have framed it
and said, you know what, we've we've taken care of
business at home and then the losses that we've had
or on the road in the shoe and against the
Florida team in the swamp with their backs against the wall.
So we're looking to get better. But it's also been
a tough road for us something like that. Right, But
the way he says, well, if you look at everybody
else and they had to do what we had to do,
I'd like to see where they are. That's that's not
placing blame on others, right, It's not the right way
to do it. So another mishandled press conference from Sark.
I mean, right now, I have a question.
Speaker 3: It's just he's kind of implying as well that UTEP
and sam Houston State aren't competitors at all.
Speaker 1: And he would asked specifically about power power for school schools,
but those aren't power school.
Speaker 3: And then my question, the second question is if Penn
State head coached the same thing about u C l
A or Oregon, would that be the same.
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know, James Franklin is gonna be saying
a word. Yeah, I feel like.
Speaker 3: Sark should be the same way, like you lost a Really,
they weren't even ranked regardless if it's the known swamp.
The swamp has been bad before as well as Ohio
State has been bad before.
Speaker 2: I just I think that's like Ross is saying.
Speaker 3: It's just it's just a it's a it's a bad
taste in your mouth, especially if I was his athlete.
Speaker 2: Does that mean sense?
Speaker 1: I mean the Penn State lost it in front of
like twenty thousand people at UCLA and nobody cares about
that program, and UCLA is terrible.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit different.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the point is he, yes, he had him,
He had it laid in front of him to I
guess you could say excuse making or whatever losing on
the road in the shoe. There's no to the reigning
national championship. They're champion. There's no shame in that, and
I a plat for playing it. And frankly, as I've talked,
played four, maybe we should stop telling these good teams
to play good teams because it obviously isn't a bad
juju throat.
Speaker 2: You didn't get. You didn't fix yourself in the three
games you.
Speaker 1: Had against winnable opponents as you came back to playing
slugish football. It's week to week and everything will be
all better if they can just beat Oklahoma, which their
favored and I believe.
Speaker 2: They do now.
Speaker 1: Don't don't tell Jonathan I sent you a sound clip.
Don't tell Ross who it's from. Uh Oh, but I
was able to find a man who I when I think,
when I respectfully think of who can give me the
real pulse of Texas football? Oh boy, I thought of
this person. Play the sound bye, please.
Speaker 2: Give me, give me two seconds. Okay, it's somebody.
Speaker 1: When you think of college football analysis, a real heartbeat
on Texas, you think of this person.
Speaker 2: Here it comes, loading, loading, loading, loading.
Speaker 1: Loading, Okay sports mt on Instagram.
Speaker 2: No, don't, don't do that. I'm almost a three thousand
less Oh my god, here it.
Speaker 4: Is Tarkisian right here on national television. I respect this man.
I like this man, and I think that for the
most part, he's been a hell of a coach. I'm
very disappointed with what I've seen from Steve Sarkisian this year.
To me, Paul, he has coached scared. He has coached
like somebody who's been forced to deal with all the allure,
all the attention and notoriety that comes associated with Arch Manning.
And he has not lived up to the billing any
more than his quarterback has. And I think that he's
been feeling the precious.
Speaker 2: Since the opening of the season.
Speaker 3: Paul.
Speaker 4: I think he has coached like it, and I think
that an example, for him to say what he said
as a quote, what do you mean, you know, how
would they do your Texas? You came into the season
ranked as the number one team in the nation. And
this ain't Florida that was coached. That's been coached by
Urban Maya. No disrespect. Okay, Urban Mina is not there.
He's not walking through that door. Tim Teboway's walking through
that door. This this is a different Florida Gators program.
For him to come out of his mouth and say that,
to me, just speaks to the level of disappointment everybody
should be feeling about Steve Sarkisian because I think that
he has coached scared because Arch.
Speaker 2: Manning is there.
Speaker 4: There was huge expectations and he's been dealing with all
of that instead of just coaching football like he knows
how to coach.
Speaker 2: Fotot fall. There you go, Stephen A. Smith, right on
top of things at the University of Texas. All right,
I did that, just a poke at you. Thank you.
Feeling great
