  2. Very comparable. Seiko does marketing and branding better, Citizen's best stuff is a bit more under-the-radar (and often JDM-only). Citizen is better about using sapphire crystals, while Seiko tends to slap hardlex on all of their mid-range offerings. But Seiko has more options for those with smaller wrists (like me). Recently Seiko's been trying to move more upmarket. They want to be seen on par with Hamilton, Tissot, and the other entry-level Swiss brands. For the past few years Seiko has been discontinuing a lot of their models with the older 7s26 movements, and then re-releasing them with updated 4R36 movements at significantly higher prices. That's left Citizen, Orient, etc. to fill the affordable void.
  3. No it wasn't. The run game was completely ineffective in the red zone, along with the rest of our offense. tOSU was wholly unconcerned with our rushing attack in between the 20s, they were focused on showing Arch exotic coverages on the back end. Once we reached the red zone tOSU tightened things up and our O-line started getting dominated in the trenches. Bend-but-don't-break.

  6. Gary Player won nine majors and achieved the career Grand Slam at age 30. He then had a case of the yips that was so bad, he had to completely change his putting grip later in his career. It can happen at all skill levels.
  7. These were the three things I hoped I would see from UT before the UTEP game. Suffice to say Texas went 0/3, so I'll just copy-paste them here again and hope we do better against Sam Houston:

  9. USC ranked??? What is wrong with these people
  10. The other issues with the VY comparisons is that VY was not running a spread offense until 2005. Comparing stats for spread vs. non-spread QBs is completely meaningless. VY piled up 1000+ rushing yards his freshman, sophomore and junior seasons. Is Arch adding that level of production on the ground? No? Then it's time to stop making this comparison.
  11. 0/3 1/1
  12. Collecting all the post-game analysis articles, including those behind paywalls, regarding the UTEP game here: (Gerald Goodridge) No. 7 Texas 27, UTEP 10: Three things we learned Eric Nahlin: Sarkisian Faces Tough Choices After Arch Manning’s Passing Struggles vs UTEP
  13. OL - concerns over Flood's recruiting have been percolating for a while over on the recruiting boards. After that first big class where he landed Banks and Campbell, it's been very hit-or-miss, although the sunshine pumpers would always handwave away concerns as usual. Baker has been a disappointment, Campbell is still a penalty machine and Stroh has been a disaster. RB - we apparently thought our RB room was fine and declined to go after a transfer portal option. The few of us who raised concerns were shouted down, again, by the usual sunshine pumpers (seeing a theme here?) who crowed about how great Baxter and Clark would be coming off of pretty serious injuries. QB - we bet the farm on Arch being a top quartile QB this year and a significant improvement over Ewers. Massive miss by pretty much everyone on the planet, he's solidly in the bottom quartile of P5 QBs so far this season. Not even the biggest doomers could have anticipated him being this bad as a redshirt sophomore with nearly 200 career passes under his belt so far. WR - who the fuck knows. We hit in the transfer portal the last few years, this year Mosley was hurt. This room can still look a lot better with a competent QB throwing to them.

    Savour the feeling of crushing both blOU and A&M in the same season from last year, because it ain't happening this year.
  15. Great QB trade, Foster!
  16. Checking in on Deshaun Foster...
  17. Been abroad and catching up on games late this week. Wow, it has not been a great start to the season for the Big 12... - Arizona State losing to MSU - Kansas State losing to Army - Baylor losing to Auburn - Okie Lite self-immolating against Oregon ...or the ACC - Clemson losing to LSU - Virginia Tech losing to Vanderbilt - North Carolina getting slaughtered by TCU - SMU falling to Baylor If this was the year for the Big 12 and ACC to prove that the sport doesn't entirely revolve around the SEC and Big Ten, they've missed that chance.
  18. The head of this crew, Mike McCabe, used to be a Pac-12 official. Fucked up there too. https://pac-12.com/news/2022/9/25/pac-12-acknowledges-mistake-made-oregon-washington-state-game-confirms-proper
