Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Oh my goodness Texas just hired Sark (not sarcasm)

    Has there ever been a a coach who dines out on the backs of elite coaches like this guy? This excites exactly no one. Except maybe Austin area liquor stores.

    I hope for Sark’s sake that he’s solved all his demons because going to Texas/Austin will be a pressure cooker the likes he’s never seen before

    Dawgman's reaction to this is quite different than here.
    Lots of "so happy for this former Husky great who turned our program around. Texas just became my 2nd favorite team" sentiment


    Let's also not forget that he valiantly fought through and survived a life threatening disease he acquired through no fault of his own.

    Anyone going against that sentiment will be banned and eventually end up over here
    Need a laugh go look at their Basketball Board. There are exactly two guys who don't (or won't say) think Hopkins should be gone and everyone knows who they are.

    In fact they have taken to telling guys who have posted books of data to support the need to make the change to kill it as they've made their point (aka we have no defense to refute the obvious but to say stop saying it)

    He will also be watched a lot more and not allowed to run around banging coeds and dropping a couple grand in a bar on the university credit card without going relatively unnoticed like he could at UW or in LA.

    If I'm a UT fan Im a lot more worried about his shitty coaching/organizational ability than I am about his coke and alcohol habits from a few years ago.

    Then again, the wife finally found out about it all in 2016 and left him so maybe Sark goes full Joey Freshwater and we are all entertained again.

    Hopefully he brings in long time buddy Nick Holt

    That’s right out of the Sark 2012/2013 playbook
