  1. I'll see you and raise you coaching legend, though admittedly not a Mensa member:
  2. A lot of people hated Deion way before he got to CU. Further, I can't think of a single head football coach that came in proactively looking to create buzz in his uniquely Deion ways. A lot of his comments were also uniquely Deion throughout his tenure. I won't speak for others but I came here and gave credit to Deion for the marked improvement and admitted my incorrect prediction on his year. In my defense I said very early on, over a year ago, that I was here for the Telanovela action. So are a lot of other people. Car wrecks get lookers. Kirby has also gotten some shit. Could be more.
  3. This is where I'm at on all levels. We all play a CCG or none do. I would add FCS games shouldn't fucking count for win/loss either way. That allows the small schools to still get scheduled but doesn't reward P4 teams for playing them, particularly late in season (I'm looking at you SEC pussies). Finally, YES no conference, GTFO ND!
  4. Yeah inexplicable and bizarre indeed. The only logical conclusions are: A) He didn't recognize it from the first match up and in other similar matchups Texas played in. B) He was unwilling to alter his game plan despite strong evidence that he should. C) He didn't trust Arch in that situation due to lack of experience. (Which leads to a follow-up question. Why didn't he run Arch packages more often in the season to provide Arch that experience?) All point the same direction in the end regardless of cause.
  5. Fair enough. I mean, you're not wrong.
  6. In Lubbock? Dead cow processing.
  7. Well you ain't fucking up my chainsaw blade for that bullshit.
  8. I mean, it's a very accurate assessment whether folks here enjoy it or not.
  9. No, nothing can help that fucking brisket no matter how tasty and wonderful.
  10. All of this is a coaching issue and a partially a QB issue, but did you watch the clip Hank JUST posted?
  11. Hmm well, I suppose I understand, but I'm different. I still love the game of college football. Plenty of teams I enjoy watching lose. The season is coming to an end and catching random ass bowls, even when I don't care who wins is part of my DNA. Maybe we play them next year. Maybe we get one of their players. Maybe we see them on the CFP next year. I look at college football holistically and because it's the only sport I truly love, OD on it before my supply dries up. But yes.. aggie tears or Riley stumbles make this one a priority. I'm gonna find a reason to smile.
  12. I still find this thread highly entertaining and honestly educational. At least SOME of us haven't gone full aggie and blamed the refs entirely for this loss. Yes, I'm calling you out and yes you know who you are!
  13. It's also 100% true that had our special teams played better Texas wins this game. It's also 100% true that options were ignored by our head coach that could have helped Texas win the game. So... I think it fair that we question the ability of our head coach and hope he alters some things in his game plan.
  14. I mean the S word will too.. but you're not wrong.
  15. You do know he largely agreed with me.
  16. Ftfy I'm not a super liberal or anything but if you're going to go gender neutral on a person, actually do it correctly.
  17. I also agree with this take. Which is why I provided the OR in my last comment. I accept and acknowledge Quinn isn't the player who can carry the team and WIN the big game. I accepted it some time ago. My issue isn't with fans that think he should be, nor fans that perceive him to be so. My issue is, primarily with a head coach who hasn't or won't accept that Quinn isn't. The same coach who decided not to make a change, for a LOT of reasons I already covered. I get it, this bed is made. However, that the QB whispering, offensive genius hasn't made accommodations and changes to the offensive game plan is frustrating. In particular, not using a tool, a VERY impressive one, in that adjustment is my true issue. That is NOT on Quinn. It is on SARK. While the bed is made, Sark did and still does have the option of grabbing the warm blanket on the night stand and making us all more comfortable. If he doesn’t, it will reflect very poorly on him in my eyes and the eyes of MANY. That hurts Texas Football, my university's team, in more ways than just a run at a title this year. JUST a run at a title. That's shit I will never be quiet about here or anywhere.
  18. I turned to the Georgia fan next to me and said, "That was a brilliant PI".
  19. In fairness nobody has seen it in years.
  20. I agree with this as well. I would add that it's not unreasonable to want and maybe even expect a highly touted recruit, who is a 3 year starter at the University of Texas and makes millions in NIL to WIN championship games. Or.. at least have a coach that recognizes that QB's struggles in the redzone during GAMES and plays the much more mobile back up QB who is equally touted and NIL compensated more frequently. These seem reasonable to me. But I'm regarded and crazy I guess.
  21. A brilliantly insane play caller?? Who did the team a disservice by not running some Arch packages in the RZ? And yes, Quinn is who he is, and he isn't good in the redzone against a good to decent defense. And I never have suggested Sark should have pulled him in this game. Rather than without a LOT more of Arch in the redzone our issues will continue. At that's been the general sentiment by most. But you can't keep completely giving Quinn a solid pass. It's crazy talk.
  22. Where on this thread has anyone said Quinn is 100% responsible for the loss? Where on this page have you attributed even 1% of this loss to Quinn?
  23. Well, how did Ewers do in OT, that's right, BERT scored all our points. So both a one armed INT monkey and our kicker out performed our QB. Interesting.
  24. Did Quinn throw an INT in the redzone during Georgia2? Did he take a huge sack to push a field goal attempt beyond the 50 in Georgia2? Did he miss some open receivers in for easy TDs in Georgia2? Yes? Then he's at LEAST partially responsible right? I mean at least a little bit right? A modicum? A tiny wafer thin mint worth of responsibility? No? None? Zero? Well, fuck... you're right. QBs don't lose games ever, teams do and the QB and HC are never responsible. I've learned something new today.
