  1. They damn sure better slot Bama ahead of Notre Dame this week. Hell, they should move Ole Miss ahead of them as well.
  2. You are arguing with the same clown that thought our season was effectively over and our QB dog shit after beating Vandy on the road by 3, but just 1 good game against a bad team and we're beating Indiana by 17. He is the quintessential over reactionary Texas fan that doesn't know shit about fuck.
  3. This is certainly what should happen. Will actually be a good test of how they treat championship games.

    Remember his junior year when Rex Kramer took the position he was overrated and would be JAG in college. LOL
  5. I'll be the first to admit our SEC schedule this year is more advantageous than most competitors in the conference, but Penn State literally has a 1 game season and their punishment for losing the 1 game is missing the Big 10 championship game (and a chance for 2 losses) so they will almost certainly slot into the 5 or 6 seed with a home playoff game and nice bracket setup. There just isn't an upper middle or middle tier in the Big 10 this season. It's a 4 team league and Ohio St. is the only one that has to play anyone else. I hate Ohio State but if they were to lose to Indiana they damn sure better still be slotted ahead of Penn St.
  6. This is just silly. Arkie is going to be hostile because their fans hate us. But even though that is the case, it's an Arkie team hoping to make a Bowl and an 11AM kick. A&M game will almost certainly be at night with the SEC Championship game and/or CFP slot on the line. That is on top of breaking out of a 13 year cold war. Cheapest seats @ A&M are like $900. The atmospheres won't be remotely comparable.
  7. I think Sark is certainly capable of mixing up what we do more of based on personnel and skillsets. I think this year, particularly given RB skillsets and limitations, he has decided to utilize the short passing game more as an extension of the run. Andi I don't think Ewers gets enough credit for how good he is at putting the ball exactly where it needs to be in the short passing/screen game to give our athletes a chance to work in space. Look at the Blue swing pass. It could have easily been a TFL if that ball was placed anywhere else and instead it went for 50. That is something Manning didn't seem to quite have yet (at least not at QE's level) based on his limited time.
  8. I mean sure to some extent. But with our offensive skillset, the short passing game is absolutely part of the game plan every single week. I think what Sark wants to do is get teams overplaying (or overfocusing on) the short passing game thus opening up shots down the field. First TD pass was a great example of this. Then, I thought the screen pass to Wisner and the check down swing pass to blue were both great examples using Ewers and RB's skill sets to our advantage. I'm not saying Sark is fine being second to last, but i'm saying I think we intentionally throw within 5 yards WAY more than most teams because it's a matchup advantage.
  9. This is getting a lot of talk the last few weeks. But at this point it's pretty obvious that it's flat out the design of our offense and intentional. QE is elite at hitting the short passing game within 5 yards of the LOS in stride with an opportunity to win 1 on 1 matchups. Our running game is limited between the tackles (both from an OL weakness and RB skillset perspective) but both Wisner and Blue are good to great in the passing game. We have a massive skill position advantage against every team on our schedule not named UGA so those are winning matchups and a 7 yard swing pass or WR screen works just as well as a 7 yard run. Also, when it's working like it did yesterday, it helps set up the deep shots or schemed wheel routes, etc. I'm not saying Quinn doesn't have a tendency to check down too quickly when he's feeling pressure and we aren't keeping pocket clean (he does) but more often than not the short passing game is by design.
  10. I mean that is the only good thing to come out of that debacle in '21. I don't think Sark will ever underestimate the hatred those poors have for Texas again. If Pittman's seat is still considered warm, he knows damn well a win against Texas probably gets him an extension. This is their season and I think this time Sark will at least do everything he can to get the team to understand what they will be walking into. I think with A&M our guys fully appreciate they are walking into a fistfight. I don't think anyone naturally thinks that about Arkansas except Arkansas because it's such a weird one-sided inferiority complex that fuels it. Hopefully the team takes in that message.
  11. I think what was so frustrating for everyone is against Vandy is that was a game we should have won 20+ if we play a B+ game on offense. Other than that 1 massive bust by DJ Cambell OL has played solid. Hell even some decent RB pass pro. Just keep the damn pocket clean and this offense will fucking cook.
  12. This. Bad game by Moore. He's been great otherwise this year.
  13. Ewers is getting hot. That was a perfect ball and pretty much a perfect series by him. Moore just having one of those days.
  14. Go routes with Helm across the middle right damn now.
  15. This is the ass kicking we needed.
  16. I'm sure they will come back and win by 14 but they are not a top 5 team. Not to go all "SEC" but that is a 2-4 loss team in this conference depending on their draw.
  17. You don't think a D1 WR should make that catch? This board is so insufferable it's laughable. I'm sure people will start bitching about that pass because it was a 'short pass' (like it isn't by design when you have our RB skill sets for THAT EXACT FUCKING REASON).
  18. "This" version of Quinn Ewers also had a great ball on 3rd and 10 the start the series. It wasn't a great throw but that drop is 100% on Moore. Calm down. He's probably had 3 missed throws and making all the right reads outside of 1 play.
  19. Underthrown but can't drop that. JFC
  20. I mean they are on their 3rd QB and have a ton of injuries. I think he's done a pretty decent job this season all things considered.
  21. At least their kicker sucks as well.
  22. I agree completely. Immigration didn't help. Woke nonsense didn't help. But at the end of the day it's always the economy (stupid). D's will have every opportunity in the world to regain votes next cycle if they can fix messaging and focus on shit people actually care about as the average voter simply does not comprehend that prices are NEVER going back to pre-COVID levels under any administration. And if Trump actually implements his tariffs high interest rates won't be going anywhere either absent a recession.
