Arch played his ass off today. Fantastic game.

We need to get healthy in the Secondary. Taaffe covers up a lot of the mistakes today. But I was never a fan of the Akina hire and nothing I've seen this season makes me think I was wrong.

When my client from Atlanta that is a Georgia Tech fan that has no rooting interest in the game sends me 5 text messages regarding the awful officiating in the 2nd half you know it's bad.

That's got to be a top 5 worst officiated Texas game I've seen. Worst in a long time. What a fucking disgrace that was.

He just mishit that kick in the Cotton Bowl. He has the leg for 58 but certainly not a high percentage play + increased block risk. Not an easy decision as it's a disaster if it gets blocked.

Really missing Taaffe today

Surly Usual Suspect Game Thread and/or Arch thread commentary/analysis prediction for post-game tomorrow: Caldwell Starts, Loses: Fuck Sark. Please leave for the NFL. Too much of a pussy to play a healthy Manning because of Woke optics and it cost us the season. Caldwell Starts, Wins: Caldwell Should Starts! Sark is such a fucking moron. We would clearly be a 1 loss top 5 team if he hadn't promised Manning the starting job and played the best available after OSU. Manning Starts, gets re-injured: Sark should be fired FOR CAUSE immediately for playing a clearly concussed player. No buyout. Get the lawyers on it. Manning Starts, Loses: Sark is a moron. Playing a clearly injured Manning cost us the season. Please leave for the NFL. Manning Starts, Wins: Half of Surly finds 10 different things to bitch about and are miserable in victory regardless. Half of Surly is convinced we don't lose another game until Fall 2027 (at the earliest).

I didn't even know what f'n Disney bundle we have. Apparently the subscription is "Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Select Bundle Legacy". I can go to "Live"in my Disney App now and watch ABC News. But if I go to "Upcoming" I don't see Texas/Vandy. Would I need to change to the "ESPN Unlimited" bundle? Is that right?

So I need all the major networks/sports channels, bravo for wife, and would prefer to have locals for news. Eventually will need TNT/TBS for NCAA tourney/NHL playoffs assuming they still have those rights. Anyone know best current options.

North of 635 might as well be Canada! I never venture up that way (other than to get Cattleack BBQ, which is an entirely acceptable reason to venture north). -

Anyone been to Avra in the Crescent? I think relatively new. Walked by it the other night and it looked interesting for a date night. -

This Stars/Mavs/AAC is an absolute mess. And seems like the City of Dallas is taking sides and are completely fucking this up if choosing the Adelsons. The City of Dallas Has No Choice But to Work Things Out With the Mavericks - D Magazine I'm not sure if the Stars are innocent here either (as it's not going to surprise me if it comes out they wanted to move to the f'n burbs) but I'm just going to choose to believe the Mavs new ownership are the assholes in this situation as well as it certainly fits with everything else we've seen . It's amazing how much I've gone from a huge Mavs fan to essentially rooting for the franchise's failure. At first it was until Nico was fired but maybe that won't change until (if ever) there is new ownership. But yeah, the Stars moving North would be really depressing. Immediate cancellation of season tix and wouldn't make near as many games. And the City of Dallas screwing everything up and ending up without a single franchise that actually plays within the city limits would be par for the course. -
Which is why I think, as long as the game is close, when we're in 3rd and 8+ you see screens, draws, etc. rather than trusting him to throw intermediate routes into coverage.

I said it in another thread but I'm optimistic that if Sark knows what Caldwell does well and can put together a game plan with a small playbook he can hold up 1 week. There isn't really any film on him. But yeah, I don't have much faith at all he could hold up long term at all. There isn't anything in his past that says this guy is ready to dice up complex coverage schemes and hit his 3rd read. I fully expect to see ultra conservative play calls on 3rd and long (and for this board to be screaming about it not understanding it's intentional). Someone posted a twitter video with all his passes/runs and think I recall one of his only throws into coverage in mop up duty would have been picked against a P4 secondary.
