Lane needs to do yoga with Pygmy goats. 🐐

How are you still alive? It’s like you have super genes or something.

Yes. And I tried to stay out of that thread. Did make shit comments. @Thatguy knows fucking football. I knew it within 5 mins of meeting him at a surly tailgate. And ya need to do podcasts man, seriously. You know your shit. I am just fucking frustrated. We have a lot of really good pieces in our puzzle damnit. And it’s like this year was squandered in a way it should not have been. I expected growing pains and mistakes and interceptions and that kind of shit. If this were a season of a show: I wouldn’t watch but about 3 episodes of season 5. It’s that fucking bad. We should not have been that fucking bad. It’s on Sark. It didn’t have to be like this. he is extremely talented but it’s like he has his relationship shit last year and then I hear all sorts of shit via up to his old stuff like he was at Washington and Nansen and so on. Doesn’t he know at 51-52 he cannot have fire water? He cannot hold his fire water? So why play with fire? He doesn’t need this outside extracurricular shit like he’s in his twenties. I know Lane does all kinds of shit too. But he can hold his fire water. Sark cannot and it’s like just like with his stubbornness on play calling he cannot see that. Damn. The recovering alcoholic hurts in me but I figured out after being sober nearly four years and no alcohol that i can never ever ever drink again. And it’s like he thinks he needs that fucking edge or something. And it becomes sloppy. Like some people can drink socially and I know I cannot. He cannot. He knows what happens when he does and it’s just sad and infuriating. But when he nearly wrecks basically a $30 million dollar team because of it—it’s like wtf? No way to fix it. No assurances it can be handled next year or the next year. And it’s bleeding over into our team in a totally unprofessional kind of way. Damn.

It’s why I am still pissed at myself for breaking my personal code of criticizing players, I did with Quinn. I am still mad at me. Unless a player is a total asshole/fucking off on the field on purpose I typically do not comment on players. It has always been my contention that most all of it flows from the top down. From the HC down. And I blame the HC or position coaches and not the players. Yeah there are a couple of rotten apples 🍎 but by in large when I watch teams fight in the trenches with each other (Texas Tech is a good example—when they targeted the portal they wanted people who had been team captains—they wanted generals on the field at key positions) I get frustrated. The lack of discipline comes from coaching. The penalties and so on. Former UT players calling out our dudes saying they are just there for a paycheck. It’s the culture Sark said he wasn’t worried about—well it flows from him. IMO. On topic of Sark: he seemed unenthused? I mean saw his comments right after the game on the field and this is a man with a LOT on his mind. Did anyone else see his demeanor and remarks? It was just like he couldn’t wait to leave the field. You see PK animated and into every aspect of the game and we weren’t great on defense but Sark just looked done after that game. I’m just going by my observations. Which could be total shit too. Just wondering if anyone noticed this.

Biggest flop in history? Thats the kind of ridiculous rhetoric that has been spouted by the media all year. It’s like every after game analysis focused on Arch. Not much at all on anything else. They openly salivated of Carson Beck or whatever his damn name is and the money spent on him by Miami. He is mid to me. At least arch ain’t draining the money from the collective. His shit comes from deals that his family got on their own thru corporations, the way he has been covered by the media all year has been ridiculous, This is how they have covered him: “best ever? Texas could win it all? Heisman? Total bust? Total failure? Mentally soft? Could portal? Should portal? Totally to blame for UT’s lack of success? Now he’s a badass again.” They can all suck it.

I mean 83 total yards rushing against Georgia in our last 3 games is one big reason why. That’s shit. 23 yards this year. That’s bad enough. We abandon the run. We won’t call the run. And arch didn’t really get the ball much when our team folded like a cheap tent in the 4th. its true when he is pressured he doesn’t play as well. But we have these drops (which I and That Guy hate) and ridiculous penalties that we can’t seem to shake (today we were better) that kill drives. We didn’t look amazing v Georgia but we were still in it per the scoreboard before the collapse. Having just anyone run the fucking ball would be nice. it’s like run on 1st. Doesn’t work and we throw on second and third. Punt. Rinse and repeat. Just run it three times every other series. I mean he really doesn’t have help in that regard and without a running game and him missing on a few throws or not seeing something plus the fucking drops and penalties is why we lost. in the first half we had some good play calling we didn’t execute, but I will never understand how quickly we abandon the run at all. QBs have to have it.

How do you make changes to fix it?
-
Yes. They gave us the tower design and so we ship them these players. And steal their band for basketball games!

I have no dick to swing, no balls to drag over anyone’s faces, but if I had a dick I would tell all the Arch haters in the world to suck it. He has the kind of game today that if he were on Blow U or on Georgia or OSU or Bama the announcers would be drooling all over it. I ain’t talking about y’all. He has faced ridiculous amounts of scrutiny since he decided to come here. And every 5 mins since he signed there have been stories about “will he portal?” Like the media and everyone else just wanted him to leave here. And he stayed. Hes mentally tough. Brushed all the shit off. Didn’t let him get to him. We have all this crazy shit happening behind the scenes (allegedly 😉) with our HC and he’s balling like a mofo. Happy for him. Cant wait to watch him ball out in Burnt Orange next year and drag his nuts all over the SEC while Finebaum whines like a bitch. Hope we can fix the RB shit and Oline. how many QBs could be successful behind that line on a learning curve with a worse than anemic running game? It’s crazy to me. Most teams win games if they have 100 yds rushing. We struggle to even get that in a couple of games combined. carry on! Happy Early Thanksgiving. Arch is HIM. I ain’t bitching about y’all for fair criticism of his bad games and throws and such. Just imagine if he had had a competent OLine and a running game and sark had figured out (ahem) before the Florida game instead of the 4th quarter of Mississippi State game how to effectively use him. Oh well. He’s gonna be a beast next year. Hook’em 🤘🏼 carry on!

Why cannot Rice just pony up and buy a team? They aren’t poor. What is their problem?

Go W Kentucky 3 - LSU 0 nice to see W Kentucky with 8-2 record. That is cool. be crazy if they somehow beat LSU cuz those players do not look like they want to be there—at home.

Yeah I broke my code with Quinn. I regret it. He wasn’t the problem. He got screwed by the problem and dropped to the 7th Round bc of it. Arch isn’t the problem. Yes he played poorly early and we all know this. But you see him shine now and it’s like ok… it’s hard not to be mad at the staff but what can we do about it? Nothing. If Sark stays we have to hope we won’t see 2025 again. If sark goes we have to hope it’s done swiftly and well and we don’t see much attrition. What happens to Arch regardless? Cuz he’s gonna be a monster next year. Imagine him with an actual running game and Oline? Damn.

Damn wasn’t expecting what Pitt is doing to GaTech

Arky better lock down their coach quick. They have some good athletes on that squad.
