  1. I have been stanning for Wisner since the end of last year. I think he is a great college RB and I love him. Wisner is not an elite RB. In his defense, neither is the offense he plays in. As for Sark and change, numb nuts was still running 12 man packages against aggie. He can't give them up, he won't. His hand was absolutely forced to play 11 package, and despite it being extremely productive in 11 his dumb ass goes right fucking back to 12. His career at Texas supports the conclusion he always will. Coach Swip Swap Swill ain't changing outside of when he is absolutely forced to. Don't be surprised to see Texas come out in 12 package to start the bowl and against OSU next fall. In fact, I'll be shocked if he doesn't. Grateful, but I'll believe it when I see it.
  2. 💯 Its a massive issue. So is zero structure on what they are REQUIRED to prioritize. Head to head is not among the priorities. What kind of shit ball game is it when the most important stat, Score mother fucking board is basically ignored for whatever the fuck they chose. Which... we dont even officially know as they don't even have to say HOW or WHY the came up with what.
  3. They've already played. Miami won. Miami should be ahead of ND based on SOS, Head to head, Win/loss and eyeball test. The system is fucking broken, the committee is bullshit. It had to be completely torn down and rebuilt or it's going to crash. Fuck ND, fuck Miami, fuck G5s and most importantly fuck the stupid as subjective committee structure with zero guidelines on what it has to prioritize in it's selection process.
  4. Lots of people in this thread making lots of assumptions about the future of the CFP. Aligned to those assumptions, they are also making a lot of calls on what Texas should do regarding future scheduling. Every year since the CFP has begun, the next year has been extremely different. Assuming that suddenly all aspects are going to remain static moving forward is frankly just naive. Right now eyeball test and w/l column plus bias towards helmetology and the committee members own motivations. Its fucked and ND over Miami and Texas being out despite having head to head vs 2 teams IN screams for masssive changes. Even better, the current system is going to punish the itself for bullshit like G5 team admission, not valuing head to head and other nonsense. Declaring what a university should do about future scheduling with zero clue or insight other than guaranteed change forthcoming is... certainly a take.
  5. They're under the horribly misguided belief that JFF 2.0 is a more compelling story than a match up of two of the top 5 all time win blue bloods with the most recognizable helmets in college football. Easy mistake to make, as they are clearly run by aggie.
  6. You're an emotional fucking cripple. Your soul is dog shit. Every single fucking thing about you is ugly.
  7. Sigh. I was trying to mocking the all Christmas movies suck crowd. I have clearly failed in my efforts. Bad Santa is the Surliest of Xmas movies. Krampus and Sinterklaas are dark, gore filled and fun as hell. Frosty was written by folks on a lot of weed and/or LSD. Heat Miser is the Surliest of all Xmas "cartoon" characters. Fight me!
  8. Bowls are 100% money and ROI on Texas vs Michigan is going to be as good as it gets outside of CFP... and if crazy time happens, Duke wins and 2 G5 get in well... Citrus bowl is gonna blow out a couple of CFP games in viewership and attendance with those 2 teams.
  9. I've sorta got a thing for Santa Claus. More booze, more bullshit, more butt fucking. Sinterklaas is coming to town.
  10. We're nearly at the bottom of page 2 and not one of you sorry mother fuckers has mentioned, Bad Santa, Frosty the Snowman, Krampus, or Saint. Just like Surly dishing out a fucking wooden pickle of a thread. I guess they can't all be winners now can they? Happy Birthday!
  11. As of about 5 years ago the far superior but $30 dollar Sarge's Reuben was plenty for 2 fat people.
  12. I personally find seat geek to be way better for ease of app, transfer, ticket selection and price. To each their own, and I will never bash price shopping.
  13. That's a matter of perspective. Sure, there's something to be said for the team not taking a nose dive. However, its also fair to be upset with with the off season and early season coaching choices that put is there in the first place. NFL caliber QBs don't walk on campus regularly and for the 4 since Vince and 2 under Sark it's fair to ask when will we take the next step as a program. Needing clear changes in GM practices/leadership, and replacing Akina, Banks and Flood in a single off season is not a confidence building reality. None of that even addresses the offensive scheme. For the money Sark is making and our NIL it feels pretty reasonable to expect more.
  14. Based on statistical performance when weighing against the issues Arch has had to overcome in team support and play calling I firmly believe his performance matches or exceeds all but maybe 3 QBs. That said, I am certain none of us can even imagine his performance level with a good OL, offensive game plan, WRs who catch balls and an actual running game. I strongly suspect he would be heading to NYC. My real reason for responding is to echo your concerns about building "muscle memory" in alignment to both the lack of team support and shit heal game plan. There is SO much need to next step this offense and part of that is changes in OC, play calling, GM, player evaluation and play design. I wish I shared the confidence many others here do in all of those actually occurring. I don't.
  15. I'm changing it from Seven Win Steve to Coach Swip Swap Swill.
  16. I really am not compelled to rehash the "experience" that was the Big XII at all, much less so with any sort of nostalgic inclination.
  17. We were told student applications and enrollment were up by CU and how great it was for them. I guess they need to move to an Ivy League pricing schedule.
  18. Yeah but Virginia vs Ole Miss (even with out a head coach) and UNT vs Oregon are absolutely going to expose this fraud. The 4 that truly tweak me are UNT, Virginia, Miami and ND. I presumed this would be the outcome but.. it's a joke.
  19. Dammit! Speaking of recruiting talent to align with scheme and creating an identity you know what doesn't fucking help?
  20. I fully agree with all the points you and @Thatguy are discussing. For me the most frustrating part is a combination effect. They don't necessarily recruit the best players for the system they want to run. Is that star gazing or bad recruiting evaluation, I can't say for sure. Whichever the reason, once they get them in, they seem no to evaluate the existing talent and force them into the scheme they WANT to run. As opposed to, figuring out what they CAN run and executing that aspect. That's clear this year and last. Since this is the Arch thread, crazy news. Arch has different strengths and weaknesses than Quinn had at QB. Yet even when the staff finds a game plan that works well for the QB and the other players around him, they seem determined not to stick with it and revert instead to what they WANT to run. That leads to an offense without and identity. The undefeated teams IU, OSU and even some one and two loss teams, Tech, ND, Oregon all have a clear identity. To pile on top, IF a team has an offensive identity you can then focus how to adapt that identity to best align a game plan to differing defenses. For instance, GT is a heavy running identity team averaging about 200 yards per game. (What a dream that would be) However, what's usually worked wasn't going to against Georgia. So GT made adjustments and ended up throwing for nearly 200. It's not great, but they were badly outmatched and a very well coached D (miss ya homie) made a game of it.
  21. aggie, UNT and Tech absolutely, positively do NOT have it better. Those were the first 3 that came to my mind.
  22. Doesn't make it any less my lawn, now get the fuck off of it.
  23. We agree in that regard in broad strokes but we can't let Brandon Harris off the hook for last off season and honestly, our OL didn't get to this point from a single off season. It's a team effort and the ultimate responsibility lies with the HC.
  24. I agree in broad strokes with vast majority of what you're saying. However, I firmly believe that the OL issues in the redzone last year were secondary to the play calling in terms of production issues. I also think last years OL was better than okay, but certainly had room for improvement. I don't think my first point is quibbling as the RZ issue were a last year nor this year issue. They have been consistent throughout Sark's tenure.
