  1. Good thing I don't ask for permission
  2. The flaw in the system is people who are trying to get elected to run the government having to get millions of people who have zero idea what a government is even supposed to do to vote for them. There is no fix for democracy once the electorate is too ignorant to even know what government is supposed to be. It's a spiral downward into the abyss.
  3. Just joined today to post on this thread?
  4. It doesn't take intelligence to make a lot of money. It just takes a single minded focus and a complete lack of integrity and compassion for your fellow man.
  5. He said their system is predicated on holding blocks and having receivers run away from man coverage. As opposed to Baltimore's system of missing blocks and having receivers make sure they stay covered. Henry would be miserable on this team no matter the system because they're a bunch of losers. He should be damn happy Jerry's too stupid to talk to him for a low cost running back contract over washed up Zeke Elliott. He's in the perfect spot and it's entertaining to watch. The Cowboys are as boring as it gets.
  6. Is this the new porta potty girl?
  7. There's times I wish we had this in us. Would be entertaining.
  8. We aren't getting a guy out of Georgia that Georgia decides it has to have. Only way we get this guy is if Georgia slow plays him and prioritizes others. This is where the bump up in scholarship numbers could hurt us. We have to hope all the arrests and lack of discipline in that Georgia program takes them down in the next few years, then we can swoop in.
  9. Trump has made the republican party so idiotic and retarded even the fucking neocons want out. GW Bush and scumbags like Romney are too cowardly to admit it publicly, but you know they're voting Blue too. And there's dickheads here, who I won't name, that are so retarded they think being associated with people who are too fascist and extreme for neocons makes them the good guys. Stupidity knows no bounds.
  10. While true, in the games he's not just failing to step up in the pocket and set his feet. He's squaring up and not torquing the core on the throws as well. Is it that much in his head he's afraid to even do that? Or is he still in pain and trying to fight through it? Seems like both to me. I wouldn't be surprised if they hit him with some Toradol before the game and he just didn't do well even with that. Of course it's all speculation since we weren't there. Very puzzling though that Sark seems to be saying he's fine and Quinn seems to be saying he's still feeling it. Quite the disconnect publicly between HC/OC and QB
  11. With the portal, NIL, and now all of the power teams other than FSU and Clemson in 2 conferences the days of the undefeated champion are mostly over. The Saban/Smart/LSU 2019 type teams of the last decade and a half wouldn't be going undefeated in this climate. You play too many good teams in conference now, especially the SEC. Then the conf title game isn't against some nobody from the weak other half of the conference anymore. It's the legit second place team. Too tough. Losses will happen but 1 or 2 won't kill your playoff chances.
  12. If that's the case then Cooper and his giant hat need to be in Arch's ear making sure he's preparing to be the starter the rest of the year. If Sark is saying it's mental then I don't know if Quinn can get that fixed in one week. That will be supremely disappointing after what he showed to start the season. Dude should hang it up after the season if he can't stay healthy and can't play without fear of further injury.
  13. That was for the season, but Quinn only played what? 2 1/2 games before injury? Best chance of winning out is Quinn returning to pre-injury 2024 Quinn. No one here knows if that is possible. This is his last chance earning this golden UT QB NIL though to get it done. If he flounders the rest of the season and doesn't like his draft grade he's gotta transfer. With Arch it's a complete unknown. Can he navigate Vanderbilt, Arkansas on the road, Kentucky, aggy on the road? How much can he improve from today to the playoffs? It's all still up in the air no matter which way Sark goes, but I gotta believe he gives Quinn every chance to get right this week. Also, only Sark and Quinn know how hurt Quinn really still was the last 2 games. We have no idea.
  14. He's played well against defenses that disguise well before. It isn't that he doesn't know what he's looking at. It's he wasn't able or willing to push himself to stay in the pocket and make plays even if it means getting hit. That led to bailouts and bad mechanics and poorly thrown passes. Nobody left on the schedule or in the country has a defensive front as talented and fast as Georgia's. They don't always play like it because that's a program in decline with major discipline issues, but they're the most talented front in the country and the few times they get motivated they play way above their tape. Nobody else is doing that to our offensive line and QB. Hell, now that we've seen it, I don't think they could do it again like that to us either. The only thing that matters is getting Ewers right. Whatever that means and whatever it takes. The rest of the team will take care of business.
  15. I bet he tucked his hair under his hat and went in to ask him why
  16. He admitted he abandoned script when it wasn't working early. We ran the ball a bit better in the 2nd half, but difficult to run when you're down 23-0 and that Oline wasn't capable of running on that front in the first half. They were getting physically stood up. I want to know how Quinn has looked in all the practices since the week after the Miss St game. Was he able to torque and throw it well in practice and looked good then reverted in game? Or was he struggling physically in practice but they thought they could shoot it up on game day? Sark can't afford losing a second game because of a gun shy QB, and Vanderbilt on the road is capable of beating us if we let them hang around and get short fields. I don't blame him for sticking with Quinn if Quinn is physically able to get it done in practice, but if he shows he can't do it to start a 3rd straight game how can you stick with it and watch another loss?
  17. After watching all the offensive plays over again the O line was below standard but not awful. Quinn self sacked and self pressured multiple times in the game by not working well in the pocket and having poor mechanics (at least somewhat due to injury issues). The o line got their shit together late in the second quarter and did much better in the second half.
  18. Then we can kiss the season goodbye if he's not able to play the position at the necessary level. I think you're wrong. I think Sark sees this again in the first quarter this weekend and he makes the switch. Too many guys putting their ass on the line every day in that locker room to allow a gun shy QB to tank their season. Let's all hope he gets his head right and is physically able to do it.
  19. It's the dumbest thing ever, and was posted as a joke or by accident while trying to create a joke. How does a QB prepare for the NFL draft? By getting his ass off the mat, finishing the rest of the schedule undefeated, then winning a NC. I do fear his history of injuries has him gunshy now. Recovering from serious injuries sucks, and he's been doing it every year he's played for the last 5 years. The QB has to be willing to step up in the pocket, deliver a ball accurately, and take a shot to the chops. If all the injuries has him in a spot he can't do that anymore, while understandable, means he needs to retire from football. Invest what he has left of the NIL and get his UT degree like the rest of us. Sark needs to have that talk with him. We can't afford another loss. He has to show he's able and willing to get the mechanics right and take a shot if needed. No more bailing out on throws, no more back foot nonsense, no more squaring up and not torquing the core resulting in weak pure arm throws. He has the first quarter Saturday to start showing something. Another first quarter like the last 2 and he's sitting. This week the guy on the other side is willing to take those shots and do whatever it takes to win. Even against an Alabama defense.
  20. Did you not watch the secondary play last year? They couldn't cover anyone. It was a miracle we made it to the playoff game with that bad of a secondary. I'm not saying he's not injury prone, I'm saying the difference between his play the first 4 games and the last 2 weeks is he's still injured. He shouldn't have played the last 2 games. Even if Arch lost to Georgia anyway, Quinn could be closer to 100 percent and not have this terrible tape if Sark didn't rush to get him back out there when he's obviously not able to torque his torso to deliver a proper ball. He shouldn't be playing until he can properly throw the ball. That's on Sark.
  21. I mean, the country already looks at the state of Texas as a bunch of gun loving, lunatic, arrogant fascist assholes anyway. Don't think for a second our university or state is well thought of outside the scientific communities' regard for several of our research departments. That shit doesn't matter in 2024.
  22. Went back and watched every Ewers throw in regular speed and slowed down, and I'm certain now he doesn't have the yips or some mental issue. That's a guy who isn't healthy. On all of his throws he's afraid or unable to torque the torso. When you watch closely you can see him square up so he doesn't have to torque, then he throws with his arm. That's why his throws the last two weeks look weak and floaty. He's not doing a proper plant and torque motion to get the ball out with force. He's clearly not able to throw the ball properly. That makes sense as QBs don't just regress from what he showed the first few weeks to this for no reason. This is a physical issue, and now the question I have is why did Sark play him. After he looked like that against OU, and clearly can't torque properly to throw, why did he play against Georgia? I'd even question why he played against OU if he wasn't showing the ability to throw with proper mechanics the two weeks prior. He should have been recovering and Arch should have kept playing. I can only think that Sark, being a former QB himself, wants to do anything other than potentially detail his QB's career. And I respect that, but when the guy is showing he can't throw he can't be playing in games.
  23. Of course this doesn't kill our recruiting, but it was a wasted opportunity to launch an avalanche of momentum in recruiting. And it was all on the OL and Ewers.
