  1. I saw that and almost spit out my drink. Maybe the most aggy thing I’ve ever seen.
  2. “Haynes King, who was tremendous in his first start…” 🤔
  3. Oh god dammit catch the ball
  4. Anybody remember exactly what Looch said about Calzada right before their first game? It basically was some variation of him being a truly elite qb that is only not starting because King is some combination of JFF and Jesus.
  5. This is so funny but frustrating that aggy is going to pull it out anyway. Oh well, aggies are fucked this year either way if Calazada has to play against any team that doesn’t suck.
  6. Wells said he’d take Texas vs. the field for Stewart.
  7. I missed this live, but Joe Cook pointed this out in his gif breakdown. We tried to catch them with some tricky shit in the 2Q. All the skill players stood upright like they were at the play-call on the sideline. Card even gives the no-look snap signal. Didn’t work here but just another example of a smart staff putting little wrinkles in to give us an advantage.
  8. Shout out all you guys who spent the summer wringing your hands that we were fucked because our offense was clearly going to feature Kai Money.
  9. This. Thankfully Bo is a badass and not a moron so Finkley would be a really amazing icing on the cake to the class but he didn’t put all his eggs in that basket. We’re not hoping to beat out Saban for a Bama kid to save the position group. Previous staff would very likely be calling up some maxed out middling 3 stars from Texas private schools this evening.
  10. Negged for about 5 different reasons. Pretty impressive for 2 sentences (albeit one run-on).
  11. Between Stewart and Blue our offense is going to have some fresh legs for camp next year
  12. I want him in the class assuming he’s not punting puppies on the Internet. Just thinking about the numbers and our other needs. He seems to be redundant and not as highly thought of as some of the other guys. There is no such thing as too many guys on the lines and also could be good. If the staff isn’t worried about the distribution of ships then sure, let’s take them all.
  13. Probably been discussed, but if we do pull Finkley and feel ok about holding on to him, the next step is encouraging Swanson to go ahead and reopen his recruitment presumably?
  14. Well I sure can’t think of any meaningful distinction between King and Mond that may be causing aggy fans to react to them differently.
  15. Generally or based on your rewatch? My initial impression of the game was that Luke played pretty damn well and Gbenda tended to get caught up in the wash. He took a terrible angle on their td run and it seemed to be his responsibility to turn that back inside, but I may be wrong. They caught us with a good play call there.
  16. Another small thing that I haven’t seen mentioned but shows we are in much better hands: After going at a methodical, deliberate offensive tempo for the whole game, in the 2Q (I think?) we complete a pass for a first down and hit them with a really fast hurry-up out of nowhere. Fast enough the broadcast is caught off guard and doesn’t even get back in time from the replay to show it. Anyway, the play doesn’t do much but we do catch them with 12 men on the field/illegal sub. Got a free play, a 1st and 5, and throws their defense a bit off-balance knowing we can do that. So nice to see a smart, strategic use of something rather than just “going fast” for the sake of it without any thought behind it.
  17. For all the talk about the playmakers in the ULL defensive backfield and how they bait qbs into throws, Card didn’t really seem to fall for any of it. His incompletions were mainly overthrows on deep balls where he had man coverage and balls that he threw away when he had nothing there (or was running for his life). Unless I’m forgetting one, I don’t think he had any really bad decisions with the ball we were lucky didn’t get picked off. He’s lucky he didn’t fumble when he got sacked by the free rusher he never saw though.
  18. There is a bit more evidence than that
  19. Coaching instincts!? A feel for the game!?
  20. Brando is an all time thundercunt. Never seen a stick stuck further up a commentator’s ass than the one he has for UT. Did Jamison get hurt? I don’t think I saw him out there in the second half and seemed like we were getting a lot of Barron. Sorry if already discussed, been drinking.
  21. It was a good TO. If he doesn’t all the clever guys on here say, “I was told there were going to be no breaks”. From a risk/reward standpoint it was crazy for Napier to go for it there, but he did it and got 3 points out of it. Good for him. Doesn’t mean it was the wrong call from Sark.
  22. I guess Whit would be the logical guess if so.
  23. This is interesting, I'm sure some stat nerds have done some breakdown on whether the "deeper" team is usually significantly better down the stretch on extremely hot days. One example doesn't mean anything and technically we did outscore them in the 2nd half. And this. Who gives a shit what the temperature is when you have Garrett Gray as your starting TE.
  24. Team portion of humidor. There is a cryptic note at the end about a starter who’s not expected to play.
