  1. No chance for a completion on that fucking route
  2. Quinn has got to start running the ball. Pull up go down before contact. Five quick yds, 10, 15 maybe. SAy five times a game...
  3. We've seen this time and again
  4. Mark my words, all this lateral passing is bullshit. It's gonna bite us in the ass in a big game. Maybe it will be a "lateral" fumble, or a throw all the way across the field that goes the other way for six, but if Ewers can't do any better than that, put in Arch. I like some of what Ewers has done, but I'm not seeing a QB who can beat Aggy
  5. Surely we can find a 60 year old retiree in Austin without a graduate degree who can punt better than that. Enroll him this week as our new punter
  6. That's the fastest fucking time out I've ever seen called
  7. A good defense is gonna turn some of these ridiculous sideways pass patters into pic sixes. And how can we not find a UT student who can outpunt this shithead
  8. That was not a "stop the clock" run. Motherfuckers
  9. Clearly out of his arms before thigh hit the ground
  10. I want min 24 pts by half motherfuckers
  11. How the fuck do you draw a holding penalty and end up in short yardage situation??? Stupid Motherfuckers
  12. tipped balls has been a problem for Ewers. That's why he needs a deeper drop
  13. Chickenshit spot right off the bat
  14. IIRC, Texas finally stepped up the blitz in the final qtr against Wash and it turned the game around. Too fucking little too fucking late. I still maintain that Ewers was fast enough and shifty enough to make a quick dash for the end zone on one of those plays from the 12 yard line. Yes, it would have been an all or nothing proposition. See Vince Young. Quinn definitely put up some bricks from the twelve yard line. Sark gets his share of credit for that shitshow.
  15. Texas runs the ball. It opens up the pass for Quinn, takes some pressure off. He misses a couple of long throws, makes a couple. Better on intermediate, but it's the run game that wins the day. So Quinn escapes to QB another day. Leaves us to worry about upcoming games, especially Aggy, Texas 35-17.
  16. Wasn't it right after this that Vince told Mack and Greg to shove it up their asses - that he was gonna run the ball whenever he felt like it? The rest was history.
  17. Abyss was referring to the QB position, of course. Bradley immediately went to D and immediately starred. Played it for the Eagles for a few years as I recall. Great athlete. Wasn't he also a punter? Little James Street was a running QB and he was a sight to behold. Wasn't he the QB who threw that bomb on 4th and 3 to Randy "Big Play" Peschel, with two Razorbacks draped all over his back? The jaw of every Horn fan in the nation hit the floor. Late in the Game in "Shootout #1". (Horns were ranked #1. Ark #2. Last game of year. ) Texas won 15-14. Nixon announced we'd won the Nat'l Champ that day, I think. Pissed off a lot of opponents. Then we went on to Beat Notre Dame on New Years Day.
  18. I think the "still injured/trying to compensate" is a partial explanation for Saturday. Add in poor pocket awareness againist good teams, the inability to hit the long pass, and a coach who thought Quinn was healthy, and you've got all the ingredients for the debacle. I think Quinn's health is all the excuse Sark needs to bench him, but he probably won't. And maybe Quinn deserves another chance, but a Quinn who's only 25% better than last Saturday won't beat Vandy and if Sark waits three quarters to figure that out, he'll simply be handcuffing Manning in the fourth quarter. And he could be throwing away the entire fucking season if we lose that game. Who wants to risk a three loss season with the talent we have? If Sark wants to leave in a compromised QB HOPING he'll be ready for A&M, he's nuts. By the time we get to Aggy, we need a QB who's kicking fucking ass. Struggling thru a couple of close wins and then hoping that will be enough for Aggy ain't gonna cut it. Unless Quinn immediately begins knocking it out of the park against Vandy, he needs to be healing on the bench - and Arch needs to be honing his skills to take on the Aggies.
  19. If people want to throw $10 bottles of water onto the field, it must be pretty aggregious, and I say "go for it". Every ref or almost every ref on that field, I think, can stop play and say, "hold on, shit head, you just made a terrible call. Let's look at it." none of them did. So if one of those bottles had knocked a ref unconscious, I say "It's about time." We've got to get better in our aim though. Is there a stadium where we can practice? If you want to change something, make those fucking refs responsible for bad calls. Hold their balls to the fire
  20. Good point. What I remember, and I only saw the end, was on first and second down, they went for crap run plays that left third and long. That makes sense if you're going to make them burn their third time out, then you take the FG. Hou prob wins, but... GB coulda kicked that FG anyway. I would have gone for a safe pass on first or second down, something with a chance for just one more first down, or a gain or 7 or 8. Get the First down and the game is over. Don't play for a FG with two min left.
  21. Hou played for the FG. Lost
  22. Maybe people bought into the "Quinn is an experienced decision maker" story. Maybe, OTOH, he's just been pretty good at spotting the open receiver and quickly getting rid of the ball with some real zip and accuracy. But last night, the zip wasn't there, neither was the accuracy. Maybe he's not that great at making decisions. Maybe he doesn't have Arch's instincts. When the pressure comes, he panics or melts. He used to take off and like I said, throw with zip. Big Game Quinn looks mostly like a myth at this point. Arch needs to start. By Aggy, he'll be making big plays, something we were sorely missing last night with Experienced Quinn.
