  1. Well yeah, I agree. But if we do end up losing the UGA, the season isn't really "over" which will probably be the initial reaction if that were to happen. UGA is definitely beatable. Hopefully we can get somewhat healthy with the bye.
  2. Everyone (national media in particular) assuming at this point Texas has to win out in order to make the playoff and, yeah, may not be the case. I think a 9-3 Texas team will have a really strong argument. Particularly if OSU wins out. Because if it does come down to Texas and a 2 loss Big 12 team that didn't schedule anyone out of conference, why in the world are teams scheduling tough OOC (which the networks desperately need to happen). Obviously a lot of it will depend how other games shake out (and how strong the OU and Vandy wins hold up). We actually need Vandy to only win 2 of their next 3 particularly after the ref manufactured comeback.
  3. Arch played his ass off today. Fantastic game.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Really missing Taaffe today
  9. 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).
  10. 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?
  11. 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.
  12. 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).
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. I think you could simplify this by just stating "Sark is coaching college players". Because I see the same shit with damn near every team I watch. It just pisses us off more because it's our team fucking up. Drops and underthrows more of a problem this year than last for sure. Of course, UGA dropped more passes last year than damn near any "good" team I've ever seen but still won the SEC.
  18. I don't think things would go well if we had to rely on him for the rest of the season but hopeful in a 1 game situation where there isn't any meaningful film on him and playing against a decent (but not great) defense + full week of practice, we can put together a game plan with things that he does well. I expect to see some pretty conservative play calls on 3rd and long (as long as we aren't playing from behind) as doubt we trust decision making in obvious passing downs.
  19. Well yeah, the 2 worst threads on this board. I've largely abandoned that one and doing the same here.
  20. Talk about it sure. We did that Saturday during the initial shock of the report. It's now Tuesday and this thread is 40 pages long and has gone full fucking teenage girl Longhorn TMZ. It's pretty pathetic.
  21. This. One of the national shows this morning talking about "he's just not who he was pre-injury". I had the same reaction. Do we know that? Because pre-injury he played a bunch of hero ball and padded stats against shitty opponents. I think much more likely this is just who he is. A decent, not great, college QB that is failing against good opponents (and it doesn't help that his line sucks ass, much like ours). It's pretty amazing how much better he is perceived nationally compared to Arch right now.
  22. Stop beating a dead fucking horse. You've posted this shit like 100X in this tread already. JFC every time I come over to the football board it reminds me how much it sucks LOL.
  23. It's only blowing up on this website. Season is clearly salvageable until it isn't. The team isn't reading all the fucking nonsense in this thread.
  24. Damn, looking like Montego Bay might get a direct hit or close to it on the back end looking at this track.
