    Seriously. Worthy has 1 actual drop and this "drop" narrative from last year comes back up in defense of a first time starter, that shockingly, looked exactly like a first time starter. I'm still waiting for someone to find drop stats on the year reflecting it's even remotely been an issue for X over the first 8 games.

    The 02 win @ KSU is one of the most underrated wins of that era. That was a really good KSU team.

    He's still only started 17 games. He needs another full offseason and year as a starter before we really know if he can take it to the next level and be a dominant CFB QB. Obviously we'll never know as he'll be holding a clipboard in the league next year. I just think he needs a shitload of reps personally.

    Fuck Big 12 refs

    I wish one of these Texas twitter accounts that puts up compilations of plays would put together a compilation of the worst non holding calls in conference games this year. I'm guessing at least 20 to choose from. All you can do is laugh at this point at how bad it is.

    Give me a healthy Ewers and I'm pretty confident we win out. He's still a work in progress but he is probably worth 10 points at least compared to MM. The fact that it came out it was his throwing shoulder that was hurt (on the prior sack) explains a lot of his last quarter against UH when was checking down and we assumed watching live he was just not processing his open reads.

    Fox had first pick and always puts their top game at 11AM every week. It's their "primetime" spot due to low competition in that window. It's why I'm happy to get away from the Fox contract.

    It's the same play we've scored on before. If Brooks slides over in time to make that block, X likely scores a TD.

    This is going to be a tough game. I listened to some Siriux XM this morning and discussion was can Texas beat KSU with MM at QB. That is going to be the narrative all week for sure. I do like that everyone in the country will talk about Texas being on "upset alert" all week. I feel like we tend to play better under those circumstances. Do we have any kind of post game injury report for the D?

    Show me a mistake that is worthy of being benched (no pun intended). Surely someone has to have "drop rate" stats for season. Maybe I'm wrong if someone can show me the data. But I don't think drops have been an issue this year (obviously they were last year). He's made some incredibly tough and huge catches for us.
  10. Skipper
    Look, we all appreciate all you do with the website and NIL. But you have personal relationships that absolutely cloud your judgment and it's obvious in your posting at times. Barring injury, X is a first round pick or early 2nd at worst. Suggesting he should be benched is insanity.
  11. Skipper
    Even that drop, if it's the one I'm thinking about, was deflected I think, he had to adjust, and ended up behind him a bit. Could have made the catch but it wasn't a pure drop.
  12. Skipper
    WTF? I don't know X drop rate this year but it is miniscule by my eyes. He's been fantastic this season. JFC talking about benching probably the best WR in the country. If you want to talk about drops last year (with a broken hand) fine. But he's the best player on the field for us this year. And then another WTF not seeing MM's bad footwork. He threw off his back foot all game. He's exactly what I expected him to be. A high ceiling QB with virtually no experience playing like it. Some good some bad. Absolutely not reliable at this point with the stretch of games coming up and we're going to have to play really well around him to win. Particularly the OL. The pick he threw was one of the worst I've seen a Texas QB throw in a long time. I recall QE had a similar one against OSU last year. By the way, this isn't a knock on MM. Again, it's damn near impossible to be an above average college QB without more experience if you aren't dual threat.

    Time to make another drink and get ready for another night of October Baseball. Let's give em hell!
  14. Skipper
    All I know is every time I watch a few series of a game they are playing it's pure domination. Maybe it's just the sample size and shitty teams. BYU never looked as good as KSU has. I hope it is just the shitty competition but I think we'll have our hands full and need to play well to win.
  15. Skipper
    Good win. I'm not sure how we fix our redzone issues at this point. Especially with a backup QB we don't trust to throw into tight windows. But after being embarrassed in back to back games the Defense showed up. Imagine how dominating a performance that would have been if this shit conference actually called holding. Next week is another story though. KSU playing like a top 10 team right now. Going to absolutely have to bring our A game to win. Should be fun.

    If you are pro "cease fire" you are supporting Hamas. Full stop. You don't just get to start a war by invading another country and intentionally killing women and children civillians point blank and call a time out. That's not how the world works.

    Chanting or parroting shit like "from the river to the sea" either being so ignorant that they don't know what that means or knowing damn well what it means. Whatever it is. It's disgusting.

    Same plan for me this afternoon. Horns leading right into Game 2. Great sports day.

    I never had a big chunk of the "left" supporting Hamas (directly or indirectly, whatever, that's exactly what it is) and a big chunk of the "right" supporting Russia and Putin on my 2023 bingo card. What a weird fucking timeline we live in.

    Pretty sure there was a ceasefire dude. Then a bunch of subhuman scum crossed the border and indiscriminately shot unarmed men, women and children point blank. So here we are. I'm sure Hamas would LOVE a ceasefire so they can ramp up and do the same fucking thing again. Because a material portion of that populations sole goal in life is killing as many jews as they can. Period. That's it. That's what they live for. Fuck them.

    Post of the thread. Congrats!
  22. Skipper
    Good. You guys do your part. I was afraid I was going to have to fly back to Miami (where I was games 6 and 7) and watch scores from my phone the rest of the series but thankfully Seager and Adolis saved me from that.
  23. Skipper
    Agreed. Let's beat their ass but a fun team to watch.
  24. Skipper
    Holy fuck what a game. And what a job by the bullpen keeping us in the game. Now to go back and read reactions in this thread.

    This. Civillians have had 3 weeks to get out of the war zone. It seems like the terrorists are now in the FAFO phase. Good riddance to all those that shot women and children point blank. Hope they get them all.
