So... not back?

I think the toxic booster culture down there takes them to another level over tsun, and we still haven't had time to gauge the impact that the song controversy will have on recruiting. The only school really in their league in that regard is Auburn, where the foosball boosters literally control the Board of Trustees.

Agree.

All of the Texas schools are that way.

Texas' Steve Sarkisian couldn't dream of CFP after '15 firing​

Steve Sarkisian said Sunday there was a moment in time when he thought he would never make it to the College Football Playoff, reflecting on his journey with Texas during the final coaches news conference before the CFP semifinal against Washington at the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

Sarkisian pointed specifically to the months following his dismissal from USC in 2015 when asked whether there was a point where he felt making it this far in a season would ever be possible.

"Hell, yeah, I did," Sarkisian said. "I was out of work. Couldn't get an interview, never mind a job, never mind thinking about the College Football Playoff. Sure, it did. I think that's what makes part of this journey with this team this year probably so gratifying.

"So I think part of that puts things into perspective in that you appreciate the opportunities that you get. You appreciate the people that you're around every day. And you try to pour into those people. And when you pour into them, sometimes you get results like this, and you get on teams like this, and you get to be part of special seasons like this."

Just sayin': You do have to give Sarkisian credit having his alcohol addiction under control and turning his life around.
