Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Well, at least that appears to have improved, with a notable exception being the tush push. Somebody in another thread lamented that Sark doesn't seem to be able to land badass running backs. Uh, Baxter? A triple ligament tear can set a guy back for awhile.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
We really didn't get to see Arch throwing under pressure very much last year. He had several really exciting plays, two of which were with his legs. I've seen the claims that he has a great arm, and I'm not ready to dispute them, but I hope that arm shows up in the next 3 games which would make the argument that it was the pressure and the environment much more believable. Just like Quinn has flaws, so does Arch. Turns out all humans have flaws. I said on some other thread that Arch appears to be the anti-Quinn: good pocket presence, great athleticism and running game, can take a hit w/o getting hurt, but man some of those throws. At least maybe people will give credit where credit is due regarding Quinn.

Does Sark know that field goals get you 3 points?
It's situational. You're in a low-scoring slugfest with a great team on their field in front of 100K+ drunk rednecks. Take the fucking points.

So "forward" progress? LOL.

That seems exactly backwards, and especially the play call. (I don't think it was the 1 foot line either.) We were in a 15 round slugfest where 10-14 points could have won it. Read the room, Sark.

Correct. CFP semifinal: 29 attempts, 58 yards, 2.0 ypc Today: 37 attempts, 166 yards, 4.5 ypc

It's perfectly reasonable to talk about Quinn's self-sacks and poor deep balls. Why isn't it perfectly reasonable to talk about Arch's poor short and intermediate passing?

Bad response on my part. It felt like you were giving Sark too much of a pass.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
LOL what? I didn't love the play-calling but there comes a point when passers need to pass and receivers need to catch. Kudos to the running game and the defense. I don't care who the opponent is, 14 pts should at least get you to overtime.

Holy shit. People are being very critical of Arch. You're not some unicorn, but you are definitely sniffing your own farts. Take a fucking break, you really need it.

Yeah, there's blame to go around everywhere, horrible pass attempts, wtf drops, weird play calls. Arch needs a shit ton of film time.

Texas v. OSU - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
I had to laugh at Jaggerson's TD catch. I imagined a few surly heads exploding. Arch seems the anti-Quinn. Clear pocket awareness and great athleticism, but holy shit dude maybe take a little mustard off some of those throws. Then, the interception looked like he had roughly my arm strength. He just seemed out of sorts. Some of those passes need to be caught. Good job by the interior line on several running plays, but wtf was that 4th and goal "sneak"? Come on, coach. I dunno, I can't recall being this ambivalent about an early loss. Great opponent, hostile crowd, fucked up officiating, and we were sorta in it. Not sure what to think. Arch definitely needs to get his shit together and Sark needs to play more to his strengths, which he most certainly didn't do.

Crazy stats: Passing UT: 17/30 170 1 TD 1 INT tOSU: 13/20 126 1 TD 0 INT Rushing UT: 37/166/4.5 0 TD tOSU: 34/77/2.3 1 TD Punting UT: 4/185/46.3 tOSU: 6/260/43.3 We were objectively as good or better in many legitimate statistics, but we just can't score the damn football. Honest question: on that 4th and goal where Arch got stuffed, would he have had a shot had he rolled out on a naked bootleg, or is that too easy to chase down?

Wingo also dropped a pass that hit him in the hands.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Well, regarding Saturday: both teams have many of the same question marks. I'll take our QB who has 2 starts over theirs who doesn't. After that, we have three relative cupcakes which should help solidify Arch + offense for the rest of the season.

Surly kids who can't get into UT
At least in engineering, the curricula is pretty common from school to school. An accredited school should have capable professors who can teach circuits, fluid mechanics, programming, etc. w/o being genius level MIT types egghead profs doing crazy research. Grad school? Different discussion entirely.

Trump’s America
This is why I'll take my chances. With Trump, we will almost surely see a suspended 2028 election and full base support that honestly can't be overcome. Without him, maybe not. Probably, but maybe not.

I think one fascinating part of the story should Trump die soon will be what happens with the Epstein case. I would bet good money those "files" will suddenly be revealed and Trump will be implicated.

The New Car Fanatic Thread
Anybody have an idea how long it takes to get the registration sticker for a new vehicle in Texas? We purchased a car on August 6. The dealer put the license plates on at the time of sale and said we'd receive the sticker in the mail. We're over 3 weeks out at this point. (Yes, I've called the dealer, nobody has called back yet because why would they? The check cleared.)
