  1. Niiiice. 🤘 There was a time not long ago when playing Wiscy and Minny made me more than a mite nervous. Not no mo.
  2. That must be a relic of papa whiskey tango fans that now trend Trump.
  3. This has troubled me for quite some time. It's worse at the college level because it seems to pit academics directly against athletics, but may be more exaggerated at the pro sports level because shit's so expensive.
  4. Didn't mean to leave off Emma either. So nice to see Texas hanging with Wiscy on defense.
  5. Not what we need at every position.
  6. Given the usual new-team struggles, I'm pretty impressed. Love me some Ella and it's her team.
  7. https://thetvapp.to/tv/big-ten-network-live-stream/ This is super-helpful. Not the highest def stream, but beggars can't be dicks.
  8. Charlie. Furburger.
  9. See my addendum. We always overrate our talent.
  10. Smart is in year 9 at UGa and Day is in year 6, but inherited pretty much a machine from Urb the perv. Sark inherited basically a dumpster fire. Here I'm not arguing Sark needs more time to develop as a coach (but couldn't hurt), but that our nemeses lately have been pretty plug and play with personnel and system for quite some time. We seem pretty close to that on D, not so much on O.
  11. This seems to be a huge part of the red zone problem. Whenever we play quality teams (here I am referring to injuries, etc., not simply the fact that they are quality teams), some combination of QB, OL, and RB are experiencing dysfunction such that the offense as a whole has become pretty one-dimensional and predictable. Bring that offense into short-yardage and fuhgeddaboutit.
  12. Whenever we're having red zone issues, we're also having fairly serious execution issues elsewhere with one or more of OL, RB, and QB because of injuries or general incompetence. We always seem to assume that our talent and execution are as good as teams like OSU, Alabama, and Georgia that have all been doing this, especially high-level recruiting, for quite a bit longer than we have.
  13. I'm gonna guess that CDC is and has been gently prodding Sark about these issues. That seems to be the way he rolls. No ultimatums or anything. "Steve, have you thought about . . ?"
  14. It's the dismal tide.
  15. Reminded me a bit of Colt. He didn't really get going until he got hit on a run.
  16. Is that trying to extract drops? ESPN has 17-30, but 11-30 is what it felt like. Aaand, I don't know how you get 37% from either 11 or 17 of 30.
  17. Lulz. When did Ewers ever do that against a team of equal or better caliber? He had the opportunity to do it against Georgia twice last year. Washington, OSU. Failed in all 4 games. And with way better talent than today. Imagine Ewers with the skillset of today, brutal. Well, it certainly seemed that Arch generally had a cleaner pocket than Ewers against UGa and OSU last year and the run game was a bit more effective, which are related things, most likely. And Ewers with a clean pocket could hit a whole lot of the throws Arch missed. And get the running and passing game going, and that's when Sark shines.
  18. I'm shocked he ended up 17-30. It looked a lot worse than that. No way he was living up to the hype; the Heisman candidacy was Trump-level dumb. You knew he was going to have some bad/wtf games, and the first one against the defending national champion was as likely candidate as any. I just thought he'd show more, which he started to toward the end.
  19. I'm not a super-sophisticated watcher, but it appears that this line would have mostly given Ewers, for example, the protection he seemed to need. That may have been a side-effect of Arch's mobility, and Ewers' preternatural ability to self-sack, but the line didn't seem to be as big an issue as it was at times last year against stout D. And the run game was reasonably productive.
  20. After the 2003 Cotton Bowl, which I attended on a press pass, I was in the press room with the team. Went up to Simms shook his hand, said "great game," and thanked him for his efforts or sacrifice or something to that effect. He looked really startled by that.
  21. CTJ must be shitting himself.
  22. Ewers with this protection would have been a lot better.
  23. Well, he hasn't committed a turnover, that's about all you can say.
  24. Tbh, he looks like a freshman. And not a spectacular one.
  25. If it's any reassurance, that you have cut way back is pretty inconsistent with being an alcoholic.
