  1. Great point. Ten minutes, two long drives, ZERO pts due to Quinn turnovers. Wait, add the 7 the Ags scored. Let's say for argument's sake that that pass that Quinn threw right before Arch's TD run had been intercepted... that one of those three idiot Aggies battling for a ball that should never have been thrown actually manages to hold onto it... Take 7 Texas points off the board. Let's say that on Blue's amazing catch at the back pylon the ball had been thrown four inches to the right and hit the defender in the back... or that Blue had stepped one inch further and the catch was denied... Take another 7 off the board, maybe add 3 for a FG. If everything else stayed the same, we lose that game 7-6. Against a team that was pretty fucking mediocre. I know, "game of inches" blah blah blah. When you're constantly flirting with disaster, it doesn't take much to turn a win into a loss - a giant loss. We shoulda beat those motherfuckers 35-7, or even 45-0. This team is hitting on 5 cylinders with Quinn in the game. Sark's play calling, for whatever reason, is "Some gas, tap the brakes." Sark needs a healthy dose of killer instinct. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Give Quinn one more big mental/physical mistake then pull the plug. Sark, find a formula where our offense moves up and down the field at will, and this D comes in for three to six plays every eight minutes or so, and we will be unstoppable.
  2. That was an incredible run he made for that first TD. Didn't he get hit at the LOS? Shrugged off a tackle, raced to the five, tiptoed to the pylon? Also incredible that the refs corrected their initial call. And WTF, they did it on the Blue catch as well. Holy shit.
  3. Tell it to the guys who lost to Washington last year.
  4. Don't want to beat a dead horse, but would like to focus on what is really important right now. Some people are just happy being 10-1. Others are pushing for Sark to Wake the Fuck up and take steps to win a Nat'l Championship. We remember the year and the game Vince Young and Texas won the Natty in what was possibly the greatest college game ever played, twenty fucking years ago. Some of us remember the '69 and '70 Nattys. What do we remember about last year's debacle against WAshington? What year was it when we lost the Natty to GA, 10-9???? 49 carries 150yds rushing? 66yds passing???? Well, FYI, it was 1984. Pretty much wiped from memory. This year isn't about beating 10 mediocre teams and losing to the one really good team we faced. It's about winning it all, Witnessing a miracle season, watching those kids take something with them none of us will ever forget, and the amazing plays it took to get us there. Sark doesn't need to play Quinn and hope for the best - he needs to get Manning as many reps as possible while we beat Georgia (hopefully). The dimension he will add to the offense will be undeniable, without putting it all on his shoulders. Then Manning will ride that D and a kick ass running game all the way to the title game. This is all very doable with him - but with Ewers, not so much. He limits this team. If this group of unsung heroes and a freshman QB can pull this off, it will rank right up there (when all is said and done) with that 2005 season. And Quinn will get his due. He was an important part, but he's hobbled.
  5. Yeah, but he fumbled because he was hit. Any hit past the start of the slide shouldn't be allowed to cause a fumble, seems to me.
  6. He won that game for us last night. Gave our D a few critical breathers. Reminds me of Priest Holmes. If you watch a greatest plays video of his time with the Chiefs, you can see why he was one of the NFL's greatest running backs. He was injured at UT and a bit underappreciated. Hope Wisner continues to improve and kick fucking ass.
  7. On Quinn's fumble, he was indeed trying to slide, but the refs didn't see it or interpret it as such. Had they done so, the fumble would have been disallowed. Gotta wonder if his ankle boot prevented him from executing it properly.
  8. Your memory's better than mine. Thanks. A miracle season of amazing plays by an amazing team ending on a giant sour note because one player fucked up big time. Get ready for it if Ewers remains the starter. Your memory's better than mine. Thanks.

  9. If the defender had turned around, he would have intercepted that ball in the corner. Also, right before Arch came in to run for that TD, Quinn threw into triple coverage and the ball was dropped. Had he caught it, it might have been a 98 yard race to our end zone. Quinn got lucky both times. We got lucky. Quinn made a few good throws, but Manning coulda made the same throws, plus he has the ability to turn it up the field for twenty or fifty yards. Quinn's luck is gonna run out against a really good team. How would you like to see us struggle like this all the way to the National Title game? For argument sakes, in each win, it's the D that pulls it out. Ewers continues to make major errors, but we make it and we get to play Oregon. Then Quinn's luck runs out. When we could have Arch in there piling on points, we have Ewers taking points away. Maybe it turns out that with Arch we would have won by three TDs. (Had we gotten that deep into the playoffs with a steadily improving Arch, we likely would have found ourselves with an offense that is unstoppable, and we would kick Oregon's ass.) Nice scenario. We get to live through one of the most magical seasons any team has ever had... But instead, Quinn turns the ball over four times and we end up getting our butts kicked. He can't run. He chokes. He turns the ball over. Sark has to take the RPO out of his game plan. This team deserves better.
  10. Back in the Eighties (I think), one year Fred Akers fielded one of the best defenses college football had ever seen. Unfortunately, we had a non-existent offense. Nevertheless, we were leading (I think Georgia) in a bowl game, and had we won it, we were off to the National Championship. Because of that D, we led the entire game and at the very end, all we needed to do was field one fucking punt. The punt came in way short, and instead of letting it bounce, the stupid motherfucking punt returner dove at it one foot off the ground and couldn't pull it in. Georgia got the ball and twenty yards later won the game. One player ruined a strong shot at a national championship game for a truly amazing team --- and that is what Quinn Ewers will do if he remains the starter. There's no way he takes us to that game. No fucking way. Manning needs to be starting against GA. We will need QB runs and the pass to beat a really good team. Bench Ewers now, please.
  11. Yes! Yes! Yes! Defense Motherfuckers!
  12. Quinn needs to be in the locker room
  13. First down woiulda won it. Dammit
  14. Manning coulda run for a first down easy - EASY! Fucking Sark. Stupid hard headed fuck
  15. Ewers is a choker. Don't give him the chance to fuck up another pass or run. He'll underthrow another pass and fuck our season and all this amazing team has done
  16. Holy Shit! I cannot fucking believe it! Yo D! Big Bad Motherfuckers!
  17. He can run the ball and that's what we're gonna see in the Fourth. Dammit!
  18. Bench fucking Ewers. Run the ball down their throat with a QB who can run the fucking ball. Motherfucker
  19. He's gonna keep doing it. Get him outta there
  20. Give 'em a healthy diet of Wisener and Gibson
  21. Wisener - come on baby
  22. I swear he's gonna do it again. Several times they shoulda run play action, but instead went empty backfield or no fake.
  23. Ewers had a pick dropped at the two. Same kinda soft throw. WTF is wrong with him?
  24. Sorry motherfucking bullshit fucking quarterbacking. Sark, get your fucking head outta your ass. Ewers/Sark finally get caught on one of their bullshit lateral throws. Stupid bastaards
