  1. I knew what you meant, I was being sarcastic.
  2. Yeah that lane closed down after Quinn started forward and that's when he went down.
  3. I specifically addressed just that in my post. I've cut and pasted it below to help you. the time he took to process it
  4. I thought he has more room to run to his left. After watching it a couple of times, the time he took to process it, get moving, it appears too late for any other options.
  5. There was a weird hesitation when he picked up the ball, glanced up field briefly, looked back at the ground, glanced up, took a step or maybe 2, then went down. At least that's what I recall. Need to re-watch it myself.
  6. Well, I intended "bad" as relative. I think 8-9 is absolutely worst case and 10 wins or more far more likely. We've got a pretty heavy schedule so anything above 10 wins is a successful season, imo. Too many changes to expect a lot more.
  7. Lots of mysteries next year. Seriously, I'm of the opinion it will be a vastly different team. Dunno if that's good or bad yet. TBD
  8. Bro, aggie is the richest program on the planet. Of course their former shitty corch now turned traitor is due $750M. No problem for the deep aggie coffers.
  9. Dillingham is one of the few coaches out there I really like and yeah, I hope he lays wood to the rest of those bitch asses in his conference.
  10. And I'm okay not knowing what if. I wouldn't go nearly as far as the person you were responding to, but it certainly would have tarnished the view of Sark nationally and put a pretty big negative period on Quinns season. But.. like I said, I don't really care about what ifs from the past. I'm hoping we can get past OSU, which I think will be a massive struggle and face ND/PSU (and I lean ND VERY heavy)
  11. Oh we discussed it on the last page. There were some semantics about best pass vs best play. Vy and Kansas is definitely on my list as is 3 and 5, and VY to Limas vs OSU in the Shoe who was #3 at time. Don't think anyone is diminishing it's significance. Rather we were having fun talking about amazing Texas QB moments and this is certainly on of them. But I was then informed opinions are fact based and objective. 😉
  12. I have it lower than colts for several several reasons. I wait to weigh the historical weight of a play until that chapter of history is finished. Should Texas go on to win the National Championship I would put 3 and 14 above. As I noted on the previous thread prior to the OSU win Texas had been in the FUPM 10 win seasons since 2005. This was Colts first step and the lead in to the 2009 season. OSU was second only to USc in attention in College football at the time with Bama about to make a run. It was a much bigger win in the College football world perception. Then and relative to who Texas beat now. But like you said it's subject and I can see people's opinions differing from my own for whatever reason. So, we are on the same page.
  13. The discussion is about best passing plays in Texas Longhorn football history. My ranking differs from yours, and these rankings are opinions not facts. It's opinion based. There is no mathematical formula. Opinions are by definition subjective. But you're absolutely right and I don't know what I'm talking about. You're suffering from no recency bias and the end results of the season will have no effect on where this stacks in Longhorn lore. Lore is fact and objective. Sorry I wasted your time but at least I made you laugh.
  14. The book isn't written on this season. It's subjective not objective. I've had this discussion already and I've seen your posting, it's pointless. So you're correct 100%. Have a wonderful day.
  15. I'd bet if Texas ended up losing big to OSU due primarily to QB play you certainly would.
  16. Didn't say everyone would have a different take and even noted that I supposed I got the hate. Further, said I didn't love his smack talk. So.. we agree.
  17. Please point out where in that post, this thread or any thread I've said Sark doesn't know what he's doing, much less suggest I want to get rid of sark outside of game thread venting where I've never said we should fire Sark. Moreover, I was talking about Quinn and his limitations. However, this particular dialog between us started with me actually giving a compliment to BOTH Quinn and Sark. Let's pause there a minute. I was complimenting our QB and our HC. Then you decided it was important to point out that's why Quinn was playing QB for Texas as well as noting he gives us our best chance to win. After I complemented Quinn. I agreed but noted I reserved the right to point out issues in Quinn performance. To which you responded that a lack of running performance is the only thing that hampers this offense. That leads me to believe that your position is that any offensive issues we have are based purely on the run game and Quinn and the OC have zero culpability when teams scheme to stop Texas run game, force us to pass and succeed. We've struggled against every team that has a good defense and they scheme specifically to limit our run and force Quinn and thereby Sark to throw. So, if Sark and Quinn can't overcome a defensive strategy to stop our run and force us to pass, the liability is purely on the offensive line and RBs. The HC/OC and QB are not culpable in any way? Is that accurate? It's not the blocking scheme our HC/OC draws up? It's never the running plays our HC/OC draws up? It's never Quinn's fragile physicality? It's never Quinn’s lack of speed? It's never Quinn’s misread of a D? It's never a lack of adjustments by the HC to attack a D scheme set up to challenge us to throw? It's never Quinn's read of the DBs? It's never the passes Quinn throws? It's never Quinn's check downs passes? It's never Quinn not feeling pressure in the pocket?
  18. Well there's the rub, I think part of our issues running is the play calling based on our QB's limitations that allows DCs to scheme and stop our run. Part of it the blocking scheme, part is the running plays called, part of it is what throws our HC trusts our QB to make, part of it is our OL performance, part of it is our RBs, part of it is what throws our QB is comfortable making, part of it is what throws our QB is "allowed" to make by the HC/OC, part of it is the QB's ability to read the defense, part of it is a lack of a truly mobile QB, part of it is our QB's comfort in calling audibles (or potential the HC's limitations placed on the QB's ability to audible), and part on the HC/OC's adjustment to the DCs game plan based on all these factors. It's normal for people to want a simple answer to complex issues. To point to a single aspect and say this is why or this is why not. When you do so, it never really allows for discussion of the complex nuance that is any complex topic and a football offense is a complex topic that can't be boiled down to simply Quinn sucks, our running game sucks our RBs suck or our OL sucks. None of those are correct in and of themselves. It's a combination of factors.
  19. Not many people who criticize Ewers here disagree with that take. While I do agree, it doesn't mean he's not without his flaws. I reserve the right to point them out. I've also leaned into the aspect/thought that some of Quinns issues might be in part due to Sark's management of the offense and Quinn.
  20. I suppose I get the hate for Scatteboo, but if he played for Texas I think a lot of the haters would have extremely different takes on him. I truly appreciate how he gives it everything on the field, appreciate his love for his team, think he's an extremely talented but not great RB, and don't love his smack talk. He's good for college football and that matters most to me.
  21. That's Quinn and Sark killing it, imo. That it was an audible option, Sark. That Quinn read the coverage, called the audible and executed it flawlessly, 100% Quinn.
  22. He's this generations Steve Spurrier for me. I can't stand him, but I'm actually glad he's there. The world needs a foil.
