Simmons and Hill are an emergency situation

I didn't even find it that heartbreaking. You know what I've found heartbreaking? The overall irrelevancy of this program from 1984 to 1997 and then again from 2010 to 2022. You know what I don't feel any more? Like this program is irrelevant any more. Hey, the OU game sucked last year, too, but is there anyone on here who can't feel like we've turned a corner? I know many of us feel snake bit. I do. But talking about last year as if it left a bad taste in your mouth. I don't get that. Last year was awesome. This year is more awesome. We're trending in the right direction by nearly every metric. I've watched a lot of football in my life, and it's amazing to me that with all the resources we have and the emphasis on fielding a winning football program so many people around the university share with me, that we've been so underachieving for so long. I'd watch our team and then I'd watch the best teams out there, and I'd so often think, "Geez, we're not even playing the same game they are." Now I watch us play and then I watch other teams play - including Georgia - and I think, "I'm not sure they match up at every position. I'm not saying they couldn't win, but they have glaring deficiencies I don't think we have." We're bigger. We're faster. We're more clutch. Our receivers rarely drop the ball. Our schemes play off of one another without getting so enamored with how tricky we can be, the way we did under Mackovic. We get receivers the ball while they're on the move, something I thought was written into the NCAA rules that Texas wasn't allowed to do. There's no more asinine Greg Davis play calling, or a high school coach having to come in and convince Mack Brown to maybe put Vince Young in shotgun and try running a little zone read. Our wide receivers are the best downfield blocking unit in the country. Our defenders never give up on a play. Our reserve wide receiver who is allergic to fair catches to the point I think he's going to get his head ripped off someday beat all 21 other players down the field to recover a critical fumble in the end zone. This team is really easy to root for. This coaching staff is really easy to root for. We have absolutely no quarterback controversy other than what's been manufactured by outsiders. We're recruiting lights out in the high school ranks and out of the portal. We have what may be the single biggest recruiting weekend in the school's history, which is hard to even imagine is possible. The student section is finally one contiguous group and isn't consigned to the corner of the east upper deck. The athletic department seems to understand the difference between making more money so the football team can win more rather than the other way around. NIL has completely negated the worst competitive disadvantage we've faced in our history by allowing us to have one of the biggest payrolls in college sports. This is our time. When is Washington going to be relevant again? Who gives a flying fuck about that game? Well, I do, admittedly. But it doesn't eat at me, because it feels like we have an opportunity as a program to possibly be in the mix every single year. Washington can't even keep their coach. OU can't keep their coach. Notre fucking Dame can't keep their coach. I'm so pumped for this game tomorrow. I feel like this is our time to shine, as a football program, as a fan base, as an institution. I'm going to revel in it. And Quinn Fucking Ewers is going to ball out and so is everyone else around him.

Texas has had inept offensive lines pretty much ever since Mackovic's recruits left other than the 2005-ish group with Lyle Sendlein. A lot of it started at center. We constantly fielded multiyear starters who wore roller skates. But all it takes is one weakness among the 5 and the whole group looks ineffective. It didn't have to be center on any particular play. I remember my Dad ran these analyses back in the 90s examining great OLs around the country. His conclusions weren't necessarily dramatic. It feels intuitive. What he found is that the two dominant factors for excellent offensive lines were lots of upper classmen from year to year (prodigies excepted), and...here's the kicker...plus 15 OL on the roster on a consistent basis. Until Flood got here with Sarkisian's complete and utter buy in, we simply weren't doing a good enough job getting big humans who could move in space, and even if we did, we didn't get enough of them. Coaches with good recruiting staffs - and I'm looking specifically at Mack Brown - do not want to fill up a lot of space with OL because if they don't work out they can't be spun anywhere else. A defensive lineman who isn't quite quick enough to beat the block can be moved to the OL and become a quality player a lot easier than the other way around. There's virtually no offensive linemen I know of that were highly recruited, but when they didn't pan out on that side of the ball they were moved over to defensive tackle where they became a terror. But it does work the other way. Rarely, I'll admit. But it's possible. I'll also say Flood/Sarkisian finally have schemes that give the OL a chance to be successful. Yes, they're recruiting big guys who can move remarkably well in space, and then they're recruiting a bunch of them, because not everyone works out. And then they keep bringing in a bunch with every recruiting class. All of that is fundamental. That's where the success comes from. But then you add to it the blocking schemes and offensive philosophy we're using. It's fundamentally sound. The schemes build off of one another from one play to the next. We run a TON of zone blocking. But we also run a lot of pulling action. And what we're doing with the pulling action is not even remotely obvious. Many times we're literally pulling players in both directions. So for defenders trying to follow the flow of the play, Texas will get them moving in one direction, and then the ball goes in the other. My point is the scheme is constantly allowing the OL to get leverage on the defender they're matched up against. And if they can't conceivably get leverage because they're moving two spots down to punch a defender in the earhole, the success of the running play isn't predicated on getting a complete seal on that defender. So much of past staffs seemed to just demand the OL get tougher and more physical, without giving them any schematic tools to ensure success. I guess the proof is in the pudding in terms of whether the OL excellence we're seeing is repeatable year after year, but it feels like we're FINALLY doing all the things programs with great offensive lines have always done. Recruit big bodies who move well in space. Recruit some guys who may not have big bodies but have the frames to carry more weight and let them season. Recruit a lot of them every year rather than getting so enamored with freak athletes that you're loading up with skill position players and defensive studs that you're running on the bare minimum of bodies for the OL. And then scheme in ways that give your OL their best chance to be successful. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but of all the things going on in this program, the emphasis in every way of being effective in the trenches has me most excited about our long term future. And there's a lot that has me excited about our long term future right now.

I wonder how that conversation went. KIM: In my country, hundreds of thousands starve because our policies are crap and we don't produce enough food. PUTIN: In my country, hundreds of thousands die because I send them to Ukraine to fight war of ego. KIM: I have idea. I send you some of my people as troops so you can feed them while they fight for you. If they die, it is win for you because your people live, and it is win for me because it is less mouths to feed. PUTIN: Fewer.

Yall are insane. There will be nothing easy about beating a squad like Georgia. They spotted Alabama 28 points and still took the go ahead lead in the 4th on the road. I may be wrong, but I’m preparing for a heavy weight matchup.

Anyone that thinks Sark is pulling Quinn for performance related issues hasn't been paying attention.

Wish Lobo was around to see this. He would have been pleased to see Mary Katherine Gallagher making a comeback in 2024.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

yep. you couldn't pay me to vote on Election Day. i'm gonna get it done next week, then spend November 5 on Twitter with cable news on so i can bask in the greatness of Dotard going down again, bigly.

I know a handful of people in Allegheny county that haven’t received their mail in ballots yet to add to that firewall. I personally will be voting in person on Election Day so I can look the MAGAs in the eye when I tell their orange god to get fucked.

Racist southern chef supports Trump. News at 11.

Someone named Adolfo Franco supports Trump?!?!

I’m intrigued. I think I finished the rest of the porn on the internet already.

Look son, a retard

This is such a stupid post. He had over 400 yards of offense with no turnovers. He’s not responsible for our running backs fumbling twice and our defense giving up 37.

nsiap

There's a certain subtlety to "Georgia Can Suck My Dick."

I don’t think any of you understand how deep my hatred for Trump goes. Have I listened to him in the last six months? No. No I have not. Every time he is on tv, or I see a social media post where he is speaking, I do everything in my power to click away as soon as possible. I do not want to waste one brain cell on anything that moron has to say. He is a worthless human being. Everyone knows he says crazy things and is a terrible person. Having not watched him in six months, I wasn’t sure whether the reports of his mental decline were just political maneuvering or actual serious issues. I haven’t seen news outlets like ABC pick up the stories. That’s all I was asking. Relax.

This is some really good analysis. If Quinn performs the entire game like he did in the first quarter he played after being out for a month with an injury, which would result in Quinn playing by far the worst game of his entire career, then Texas will probably lose. Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to?

And then the guy turns around a day or two later and picks Georgia 38-35 on his live show. But yeah, I really enjoyed that segment. Georgia has been talented enough they don't hide their coverages as much as OU did last Saturday. But this year they don't get to the passer as well and they've had breakdowns in the secondary. I'm not saying they're terrible on defense, because they're not. But they haven't been as dominating as the Georgia defenses in the past. What they haven't done as well this year is play with good eye discipline - which of course, is one of Sarkisian's strengths with his offense. Objectively, without even commenting on Saturday's game, they really need to be able to pressure the QB better. That's true for the rest of their games this year, too. I've seen Georgia fans poo poo the threat of Ewers because he doesn't beat teams with his feet, the way, say, Jalen Milroe does. And that's completely fair. "Honestly, I'd be more concerned if Manning were the QB," says ignorant biased homer Georgia fan. Of which there are thousands with their own fucking internet show. I had no idea so many hayseeds in rural Georgia even had access to the internet, much less the wherewithal to stick a camera in their face and record their hot air thoughts about the upcoming game. But I have no room to criticize. I'm the one watching. At least for a minute or two until I'm so tired of attempting to decipher their broken English and the youtube automated subtitles are just printing, "I give up." Ewers is at his most dangerous outside of the pocket in ways someone like Milroe isn't because he's elite at keeping his eyes downfield, he has an uber quick release, he's extremely accurate on the run. Also, he's not stuck in concrete. He can get a first down every now and then with his legs. He's just not looking to run the ball like someone such as Milroe or OU's Hawkins is the first sign of trouble. He's looking to get the ball downfield to one of his very talented receivers. The closer this game gets the more and more I want a beatdown over these ignorant fucks. I'll take a win. But I really want to see Georgia and SEC fans entering the same kind of soul searching I've seen out of Sooner fans. They're on the precipice. You can just see it. We just need to push them the rest of the way over the cliff. An exciting game like Oregon-Ohio State or Georgia-Alabama isn't going to do that. I respect the program Kirby Smart and his bag men built at Georgia pre-NIL too much to say that's going to happen for sure. But that's what I'm wishing for.

Lulz ... supposedly an error 😂 😂 😂 ... and another error 🤣 🤣 🤣

mini baller would like a word.

My biggest concern for tomorrow is what time I can start drinking and still be sober enough to generally comprehend what is happening in the game.

Anecdotal, and I've posted about my Republican friend in NC who seemed weak in her dotard support, but I'd figure she'd probably still quietly vote for him, even if at this point she was clearly too embarrassed to admit it to the rest of us. But after the lies about FEMA, she is PISSED at trump and is openly and vocally supporting Harris.

NSIAP

We had tall white guys, short white guys, fat white guys, skinny white guys, tan white guys, pasty white guys.

I am so happy you guys are making me relive that. Here I was enjoying Texas being #1 and undefeated and about to destroy the Georgia Bulldogs but I guess I can't have nice things. I get to relive the heartbreaking end to last season.

Cosplaying faget.

Watch out y’all

I think being forced to accept aid from North Korea is the final indicator of your failure as a country

Still pisses me the fuck off that with Biden it was the media itself raising the concerns, but with trump they always say its others raising the concern. I posted one earlier (paraphrase): "Harris Questions Trump's Mental Acuity After Dance Rally" This one: "Trump's Bizarre Speeches Concern Allies" With Biden it was: "Biden Debate Raises Questions of Competency" The first two suggest that the questions are subjective in the minds of those referenced (Harris; Trump Allies). With Biden it's treated as objective concerns (no reference that the question is raised by a third party). Maddening.
