  1. I only got to see what I'm guessing were his last two plays and had to turn it off. My stomach is still queasy from the knowledge of what could have been... A magical miracle Natty season where a young QB comes off the bench and, riding on the shoulders of an amazing Defense, shocks the world. A story for the ages. Preventing that from happening will be Quinn's legacy here at UT - although Sark gets a healthy share of the blame. Quinn was a nice guy, but showed no improvement in his time here. Kept getting injured. Couldn't make the big play. Based on what I saw, we may never again see Quinn in a football uniform. He was lucky to spend his best days in football at UT. Very lucky. Time for everybody, including Quinn, to move on.
  2. July 31: Headline - Trey Lance tosses 2 touchdown passes, leading the Chargers over the Lions 34-7 in Hall of Fame game. Another milestone in Jones' legacy. Chargers 34-7 Lions (Jul 31, 2025) Game Recap - ESPN
  3. I dropped $150 on a pair of Maui Jims about 25 yrs ago. They were great for the two weeks it took for a neighbor's kid to lift them when I wasn't looking. Lesson learned. Have managed to pick up a few pair of affordable sunglasses over the years which I've nursed along. The key to keeping plastic lenses clear is using a soft cloth and a good glass cleaner. (I recently discovered Pink Stuff (FWIW) on Amazon. Read the reviews. Superior to Windex in all respects. Now I've found it in Walmart). Anyway, I always keep my eyes peeled for a nice looking budget class sunglasses, and it's been a real desert out there. That said, in the last year I've run across a couple of pairs at HEB. Love 'em. The thing that really sets these apart, however is that they are POLARIZED. Wow. What a difference.
  4. What a talent! Amazing athlete. How many pitches did she end up throwing tonight. 125?
  5. Glad the SS got that last out. The prior error wasn't her fault. She had a bad bounce on a very hard hit ball
  6. Glad they left Karvan in. Hard earned championship. Great job, ladies!
  7. Nice moment, btw, at third base.
  8. End this baby with a strikeout!
  9. And... She gave up five runs in the first inning...
  10. Bring Mahone's back Mfuckers. Let's watch him eat some crow.
  11. All doubt removed. But... but.... Let's hear more about Kanady! Motherfuckers
  12. Pile on Motherfuckers! Pile on!
  13. I think the Texas coach was too smart by a half.
  14. FWIW, the ump barely grazed the catcher's arm. It's likely that the catcher moved a little to her left because of the batter's obstruction. It certainly simplified the end result. No second base for you! (The Base Nazi)
  15. Obstruction rule WILL be changed. And in the 7th, that batter blocked the catcher from throwing to second. That shoulda ended the game.
  16. Fuck you Tech. Horrible call on the blocking. Worst call in College Baseball History. Fire those fucking refs. Karma Baby. Gutsy, amazing comeback!
  17. Just noticed this thread is in the wrong Surly section. Sorry. Here's an update. Shade is good.
  18. Three things: 1. Didn't we lose a pretty good football player once upon a time to a pickup basketball game? Can't remember who or when... 2. Thanks for the videos. That fucking offense was purring under Manning. He spread the ball around. He didn't fuck around in the pocket, and the Sark offense came alive. He helped showcase all the talent around him 3. Maybe this might be a good thread to vent a little on Ewers...
  19. Nah... and about that Ohio State Game. We had the fucking momentum. We were coming back big time and got the ball to what, the one motherfucking yard line. Score there, the D shuts down the Buckeyes and it's on to an easy slaughter of the Irish. I want a do-over this season. We're gonna paint this conference burnt orange. Fucking Georgia fans will be at the airport when our plane lands, on their knees doing salami, salami, baloney.
  20. So, in retrospect, Sark almost pulled off a miracle. His choke in the last series was more egregious than Quinn's. Mid season Sark decided that Quinn could get back to 100% or so and take us to the promise land. That never happened. He also decided, perhaps the biggest factor in going with Quinn, was that he owed it to him to help in the NFL draft. We saw how that turned out. I wonder if Sark learned his lesson. Seems pretty clear now that he should have moved heaven and earth to get Manning more playing time mid-season thru to the end, even if it meant going with two QBs. Manning was the guy to get us past Georgia and OSU. What a team that was. What a defense. What a cinderella season it would have been had a raw Arch Manning brought home the bacon. Can you imagine the impact on recruiting? Wonder if Sark learned anything from it. Feels like Quinn was so mediocre mid-season that Sark decided to give him maximum snaps at Manning's expense. Big fucking mistake. Oldest mistake in the book - letting your backup sit when he could be getting quality reps. Damn.
  21. Seems I recall one instance where, prior to the "playoffs", prior to the GA debacle, where Quinn was on the mend, still treading gingerly, when he finally took off on an unscripted run, showed surprising quickness and picked up a big first down. He jumped up shaking his fist. I waited the rest of the season to see him do that again, and he never did, especially inside the ten against Ohio State. Ten fucking yards and relatively open path to the end zone when a defender's reaction time is what, a quarter of a second before their brain even registers that he's running... Back to Vince Young against USC. They never had a chance. Give me speed and quickness, i.e., Arch Manning.
