Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Hookem2147 replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Daniel Jeremiah (NFL draft analyst) was on a podcast I was listening to yesterday and mentioned he heard the oblique injury was much more severe than the team/Ewers camp let on. He said he heard there was a tear. It's going to be frustrating to read and see, but I'm sure once the season is over, there is going to be a lot of pushing from the Ewers camp to let people know how unhealthy he was to try to justify some of his poor play. I guess that is why these guys hire agents/PR teams. -
2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
Hookem2147 replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Just look back at all the commentary after the Rice game last year. Or Houston. Or TCU. We responded pretty well after each of those games. We thought we would never have a complete game again after TCU, only to go on to suffocate Iowa State, blow out Tech, and whip Oklahoma State to end the season. If a team plays a 16-game season, I would say you get their overall 'A' or 'B+' performance maybe half the time? Sometimes the opponent is so bad (CSU, UTSA, ULM level) that you barely even notice you may have played your 'B' game. Just like a pitcher in baseball who doesn't have his stuff, sometimes you just have to gut through and find a way. -

2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
Hookem2147 replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
It's pretty funny how knee-jerky talking heads get in a week-to-week sport like football that is so matchup-dependent and never includes consistent play throughout what is now a 15-16-week season. How many times in a 16-game season is a team going to realistically play their 'A' game? Remember halfway through October when A&M beat Missouri, Mississippi State, and LSU in a row? Suddenly, no one remembered they had beaten Bowling Green by 6 points less than a month earlier, and they were being hyped up as the best team in Texas. Ohio State is a good team. They also lost to a Michigan team who could barely throw a forward pass a month ago and had to squeak out a 4-point win against Nebraska at home. Tennessee was one of the most overrated teams in the country and the Oregon defense has gotten pantsed against most offenses with a pulse. Styles make fights.- 404 replies

Good sign. Same guy who said Ben Simmons was the face of the NBA a few years ago and Lebron could take a back seat. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Hookem2147 replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
The OL is tricky because it's one of the few positions on the field you rarely rotate at outside of injury, so when you are replacing a starter heading into a season, unless you are shuffling the OL and moving another starter into their spot, someone with quite a bit of unknown is usually next up. It's why we are pretty fortunate to have someone like Cole Hutson who started an entire season in 2022 but has been a backup the last two years. He isn't a great player right now but he offers a relatively solid floor that someone like Baker or Neto may not have because we just haven't seen them much (at all?) against frontline competition. I wouldn't hate the idea to explore the portal for some depth at OT, but that is easier said than done in the OL portal market. The ones worth pursuing usually aren't going places to compete for jobs. We let Neto bake in the oven for 3 years, is it worth it to potentially throw that out and go get a portal guard? If you bring in an OT does that push out a younger guy on campus? It's a tough balancing act, especially when we haven't had much attrition along the OL the last few years. -

Maybe. Doesn't feel like the type of guy with a depth piece asking price or playing time requirement if he bouncing to his 3rd school in 3 years. -

Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane. Pretty much half his production this year came in one game against Cal. It was a red flag when Kirby let him walk last year and Norvell happily took the bait. Georgia rarely lets the good ones walk away. -

I guess we'll never know. We are the only team with back-to-back playoff appearances, our two biggest rivals are stuck somewhere between inept and mediocrity, we just signed the #1 recruiting class in the country and we have Arch Manning waiting in the wings next year. If that sort of positive momentum can be erased in one game then there wasn't that much momentum to begin with. -

In the moment, yeah it would have been. Because that’s how we always are after big losses. Would it have been irrecoverable from for a coach? That feels a bit dramatic. Tony Bennett was the first coach to ever lose to a 16 seed in the NCAA tournament and won his only national title the next season. -

This is a pretty weird way to look at it. The fact the play happened and we won the game is pretty damn significant. Does anyone remember that Kansas’ record was in 2004? It was 4-7. Vince Young’s 4th and 18 run saved the day, setting up winning that game, beating a top 25 A&M team the next week and going to the Rose Bowl.
