Now reprimand the refs for an objectively horrendous call so shit like this doesn’t happen.

Insanely idiotic take. Quinn can never play another down and he’s already infinitely more accomplished as a Longhorn than Garret Gilbert. He had a bad game and is clearly struggling, but maybe say this sort of hyperbolic drivel using your inside voice.

Please for the love of god. I get why people are upset. I have my own opinions, but don’t make me read football board arguments in the recruiting thread. It’s my safe space after a tough game.

Keep your pants on. Overnight takeaways from Georgia Data Drop: 1. 1.378 Million have now cast votes 2. Women outpace men by 145k. A percentage of 55 to 45 3. Non 2020 voters represent 209k. The 65 plus crowd stays stagnant at 48k, whereas the 18 to 29 is at 63k (this a a 14k shift younger from yesterday). 4. Fortress Atlanta - Dekalb County 93k have now voted, representing 16% of the 2020 output, Fulton County - 156k have votes, representing 17% of the 2020 output. Deeper dive on counties: 1. Clayton County (South Metro Atlanta) - 31k of votes, 15% of 2020 totals. This is the county that in all likelihood saved democracy and won Georgia in 2020. For those interested, Clayton has for years been economically depressed and downtrodden (the wealth in Atlanta is historically to the north, lots of reasons, and that is changing some). At any rate, prior to Stacy Abrams, there was virtually no political engagement from this area. in 2020, over 90k of Democratic votes were cast. Quite obviously a major turning point and success story. Political engagement seems on the margin with metro Atlanta, this is outstanding news. 2. Cobb County - 100k votes cast, 17% of 2020 output. Virtually the exact opposite of Clayton County, on the Northwest side of Atlanta, and a long Republican stronghold that went blue in 2020 and 2022. I expect the margin to slightly increase for Democrats here. It won't be much, but this was critical. Changing demographics and urbanization of the area is behind this. 3. Gwinnett County - 96k votes cast 15k of 2020 output. Northeast Atlanta county that started going blue about 12 years ago and has continued to trend this way. I expect all of the above counties to surpass their output from 2020. Each has seen tremendous growth in the past 4 years.

Texas makes 'big jump' for 5-star DL Justus Terry after official visit Hank South (Horns 247)

Ewers created the QB controversy by playing like shit against OU and UGA.

y’all need to stop with this. if trump wins, he will be in office unless/until he dies. he will try to claim he can run again, but once that fails, he will not give two shits who is president after him. whomever runs in 2028, he will not campaign for them, he won’t lift a finger unless it puts $$$ in his pocket. he will likely prefer a dem win, because it’ll make people angry enough to donate to whatever grift he’s running. he’s not a republican, he has no attachment to any of those policies. he doesn’t care about the future of…(insert anything you want here).

Worth it. They don’t correct the call without the delay.

Dropped mine off in the box on Friday morning

Give ‘em a cool million and say it’s for the next time their refs make that shitty of a call.

Souls went to the polls

i'll say it again proud of our students making their voices heard and standing up to the BS. 😘❤️❤️❤️❤️😘

Well shit. Somebody's got to go back and get a shitload of dimes.

Bobby There’s a lot to digest from last night. - We could spend all day dissecting what went wrong in pass protection for the Horns. - The Longhorn offensive line was clearly overwhelmed way too often. - Yet Quinn Ewers did his teammates no favors. In the face of a legit pass rush, Ewers folded as easily as a piece of paper in a book. - He repeatedly bailed backwards instead of stepping into the pocket. In doing so, Ewers gave the Georgia pass rushers an even larger target. Georgia could use the wide pass rush and therefore make the Texas OTs protect more space. The Georgia DL did NOT need more space to operate. That space also gave Georgia edges an easier two-way go. - Ewers is also not recognizing hot reads quickly or getting the ball out with the right amount of urgency. Last night, he too often tried to quarterback like it was a game of 7-on-7, not tackle football. It’s a problem we saw against Oklahoma, too. An unwillingness to step into throws is an unwillingness to be hit. Football is a contact sport. - In sum, Ewers’ overall lack of pocket presence and inconsistent footwork gave the Texas offense very little chance of success, especially in the face of a highly effective pass rush. Texas needed Ewers to step up. He didn’t. Ewers is perilously close to losing his starting job if performances like these in the face of adversity continue. He turned the ball over three times last night. It easily could have been five or six. - Things are never as good or as bad as they seem. The Texas offense can rebound. But Ewers needs to become a quarterback, not just an operator that requires a clean pocket to succeed. This will not be his last poor performance or the last loss for the Horns, otherwise.

Where we are right now as a fan base.

I’ve been rocking this on weekends for sometime now. I wasn’t aware it would piss people off as much as it does. If I had, I would’ve bought it sooner.

Went back and watched every Ewers throw in regular speed and slowed down, and I'm certain now he doesn't have the yips or some mental issue. That's a guy who isn't healthy. On all of his throws he's afraid or unable to torque the torso. When you watch closely you can see him square up so he doesn't have to torque, then he throws with his arm. That's why his throws the last two weeks look weak and floaty. He's not doing a proper plant and torque motion to get the ball out with force. He's clearly not able to throw the ball properly. That makes sense as QBs don't just regress from what he showed the first few weeks to this for no reason. This is a physical issue, and now the question I have is why did Sark play him. After he looked like that against OU, and clearly can't torque properly to throw, why did he play against Georgia? I'd even question why he played against OU if he wasn't showing the ability to throw with proper mechanics the two weeks prior. He should have been recovering and Arch should have kept playing. I can only think that Sark, being a former QB himself, wants to do anything other than potentially detail his QB's career. And I respect that, but when the guy is showing he can't throw he can't be playing in games.

Lol. They’re falling apart. Love it

LOL what? No he didn’t get pushed back five yards. After every snap the line sets back into their blocking stance which is always a few yards behind the line. He then squares up and stoned the rusher and even drives him back. The LG did his job on this play. Banks drives his man way back into the backfield and pushes him to the ground. Banks was probably shocked to see his man somehow got Ewers to the ground.

Unless you're a Republican. Then, you can do the absolute bare minimum, but the church will do the heavy lifting for you to make you seem godly and Bible-versed to the religious types. Turns out they have quite the knack for make believe.

Getting exactly 0 points off of not one but 2 Carson Beck INT's in the first quarter is fucking enraging to no end. The defense was doing their part and the offense dicked around and let Georgia control the pace of the game. It was a very 2022 Texas game.

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will correct me, but our scheme isn't that complex. Three primary things occurred as I saw them. First, Georgia defense didn't even consider Quinn a threat to run and their secondary was anticipating him to check down under pressure. So they pinned their ears back up front, pressed QE and he stressed, didn't make quick reads, hesitated to run, and went to his check down. They didn't consider him a threat other than underneath and bet that under pressure he'd make mistakes. They were right, and the OU games was a good template to base the plan on. Because the Georgia D front 7 didn't have to honor contain on QE running outside they spied him a bit, played the under routes well and D line bested our Oline. Consistently. Sark had a script written, it is a plan that requires reads on the secondary to throw to the open space. Well, QE was under pressure, not running and quickly trying to force check down throws. That allowed the not great to this point Georgia secondary to stay cover zone. Quinn wasn't a long ball threat and wasn't a run threat. Then, seeing all this, Sark didn't modify his script until he brought Arch in. What happened.. a touch down. OU showed a d plan to frustrate Quinn, allow D line to go hard in the paint and defend him. So.. yes, Georgia did know what we were going to do, and how to stop us. They also knew Sark hates going off his script. It's Sarks biggest weakness. It's a problem. So in order of priority: 1) Quinn is not longer ANY threat to run, at all. He also defaults to check down. 2) This allows good Dlines to beat play pressure every down and worry less about contain post D read. Our Oline isn't good enough to stop this type of consistent pressure. 3) Sark won't alter his script when the one he drew up is floundering terribly. He waited until we were down 3 scores to do so late in the 2nd. That's too late against good teams. 4) Sub issue related to 3. Sark didn't go to hurry up down 2 scores with 9 minutes in the 4th. His plan.. didn't change to adapt to the reality. I admit there's a lot more i don't know than I do, but thats what I saw. I'd actually love someone with more knowledge to educate me on where I'm wrong. Seriously, learn me if I'm off.

SEC: “It just means more!” Texas: CHANGE THE CALL OR WE RIOT SEC: “No! Not like that!” Texas: “Y’all sure it means more?”

Sark ain’t stupid man. He knows what he is watching. The playbook opened up this year with Arch in. Yeah, the opponents sucked but we just had so much more of the field to work with in addition to his running ability. There were a lot of valid reasons for Ewers remaining the starter and his experience is valuable, but those reasons are quickly becoming fewer and fewer. He is absolutely playing for his job against Vandy. We can’t have a national title contending team with a third year starter who needs training wheels. He has earned the right to work through some stuff but 3 straight games is enough man.

I wish some posters would decommit.

Watched the first half of the UT game at Turnstile bar yesterday (crowd was UT and Austin FC fans). Pregame, they showed celebs at the game. Crowd didn’t react till Joe Rogan was on-screen, then it was a chorus of spontaneous boos. Was nice to hear, made my wife and me smile.

Here’s the play where Ewers should have stepped up in the pocket.

You're just wrong. Go listen or watch Paul Wadlington on the IT postgame show. Half the sacks were Quinn self sacks. The Oline was not as bad as half our fans are claiming they were.

Oh no. People might hate us more online now. And they were just getting around to liking us.

I saw Ted Cruz throw something!!!

I did see this today though lol.

Ewers is Cougar from Top Gun. He's shook up.

A lot of blame to go around, but there were so many times he could have stepped up and bought himself another second or two and he didn't. His pocket awareness is low. He looks like he's trying so hard to stay cool that he has slammed the gear shift into first gear and his brain is processing slowly.

Hard to comprehend how it has regressed this badly this fast. The competition level doesn’t dictate many baseline things you should be seeing game after game that Ewers showed through the first 3 games this year and really most of last year. A lot of what he has put on film the last two weeks is worse than some of his freshman year stuff. Georgia should have easily picked him off at least 2 more times in the 4th quarter. The second half was no better than the first half for him regardless of some stat padding.

I'll remember this the next time I am coaching on the sidelines.

Who the fuck wears a visor at night? That doesn't make any fucking sense.

Idiots are out in full force. I guarantee you almost every recruit will say something like “Man they got off to a rough start, but they didn’t quit and made it a game. Both defenses showed out and it was just Georgia’s night. Texas will see them again.”. Go flash your sandy vagina elsewhere.
