Oh, I think that Alabama has definitely improved in a few areas, and that shouldn't be surprising, most teams do.  Texas has probably improved in one or two things themselves.  And for various reasons I don't think the Auburn game is the definitive knock on them that some people probably do.  But I don't see any of that as reason to think Alabama at their best could beat Texas at their best. 

Or maybe....

When people say Alabama would win a rematch, they simply mean that Alabama forgot to have Dallas Turner knock Ewers out of the game, as he did Ewers last year, as he did Jaxon Dart last year, as he did Jayden Daniels this year, and that Alabama would not make that mistake again.

LOL.  What a petty bunch of tiny penises.

In some ways, it's hard to give the Texas coach too many plaudits. He did a lot with a lot. He took several 4-5 star single digit ranked recruiting classes, top notch facilities, the best assistant coaches available, and turned them into a championship quality football team.

Still, I hope at the end of the game on Saturday, Sark is able to gladly shake the commissioner's hand, accept the Big 12 trophy

and leave it on the bench as the team heads to the locker room to head home.

I care little for CoY, which I'm sure folks here do as well, but that's hilariously awful.

Good riddance.

I mean, it's not like most of these players were here when the previous guy got fired.  Sarkisian recruited, worked the portal, assembled a team, assembled a competent, capable staff who developed those players, coached and called the offense directly, and then led the team to this point.  He didn't inherit some perennial 11-1 juggernaut.  He built this team and took a lot of lumps during the previous two seasons doing it.  I'd say he earned COY but this pettiness was 100% expected.

Yeah, and if you had a choice, maybe you'd vote to award it this way because it's so obviously absurd and petty and whatever else.  Rub it in their faces.

In the SEC, I'd give it to Drinkowitz over Smart because Drink did more with less.  Not the case with Texas, as you note.  And I think Smart did a fine job.  Saban did a good job too I think.

I'll add that Sark has a $50,000 bonus in his contract for winning conference COY honors.  So the pettiness just cost him $50K.

Things like awarding COY to a coach other then Sark tend to put chips on a teams shoulder

Similar to Vince not winning the Cy Young

Just another reason to kick ass
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Oh I agree.  The last thing OkState wanted is for this Texas team to get riled up the way they were last week, after Yormark's summer remarks about rooting for Tech over Texas.

That's a pity really, for him, though he makes millions anyway.  This is petty obviously.

Hopefully they drill OkSU 49-3 despite 28 holding penalties.
