Steve “Let’s Get Drunk” Sarkisian takes shot at UM

If you're going to strike first, you don't punch down.

Now taking shots at Texas Tech

Dead man walking talking.

 

[JusCane]

Ari is a tool, Sark is a drunk, and Texas is still gonna get Caned in September. The circle of life is beautiful.

Not to defend Sark.. but he’s not wrong. No way Texas Tech should make the playoffs with that schedule.

Have you seen our 2026 schedule?

 

[caneingville]

Never thought I would even think or say this, so please forgive me my fellow Canes fans. I think I might be rooting for Ohio State come Sept 12.

 

[OldhamA]

Genuine question - did Sark just get absolutely tanked before an interview and the reporter is drip feeding snippets of it to the public for the next month to maximise his clicks?

Big 12 has a deep middle but that entire conference is sus in so far as matchups against real contenders. Last year BYU fans thought their team was better than Miami and were hyping up TT as the best team in America before that Oregon game.

BYU vs Notre Dame might be the only game that whole conference plays this season against teams in the top 10-15 of talent and Vegas title odds.

Living in Houston U Texas fans are very similar to UF fans without the titles. I would have a hard time rooting for a team in a game between UT and UF or UT and ND.

 

[BigDikDaddyFromCincinnati]

Sark was really tough to like before he became an offseason Twitter diva.

 

[Canes Legacy]

I’ll be rooting against Texas (Sark) just as hard as the usual suspects this year (FSU, UF, ND)

Have you seen our 2026 schedule?

I hear you but go compare the two. They might not play a bowl eligible team.

Sure. Looking just at bowl-eligible FBS teams...

Texas Tech:
Houston went 10-3 last year
Arizona went 9-4
Arizona State went 8-5
Cincinnati went 7-6
TCU went 9-4

Miami:
Wake Forest went 9-4
Central Michigan went 7-6
Clemson went 7-6
Pitt went 8-5
Duke went 9-5

We have exactly the same number of teams on our schedule that were bowl-eligible last year. And one of the ones on our side is CENTRAL MICHIGAN.

Fun fact, the three teams I was considering when picking a College football team way back when - USC, Texas and Miami.

I said Miami’s was bad. You don’t have to purposely leave off Notre Dame to make it look worse. That’s weak.

Maybe we can finalize a deal to play Texas in Texas a neutral site like the beauty we signed in basketball.
