    Bourbon

    RichUT replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel

    https://www.breakingbourbon.com/review/little-book-chapter-7-in-retrospect Picked this up the other day and I can definitely confirm that there is a lot to unpack in this release. It’s a whiskey you really have to pay attention to as you’re drinking it, but there is a lot to like in there.

    Made the trek down to SA in Friday rush hour traffic and Wemby did not disappoint. Our seats were towards the end of the court where did the Euro step dunk and caught the sick lob from Sochan. Seeing him work in person is pretty incredible. He’s a human cheat code. We’ve got tickets to the season opener and that place is going to be electric. GSG!

    This is where I'm at with 3 point shooting as well. We've been worse at the line than we've been from deep, but I still struggle to think of the last team that really caused any of our opponents to guard us differently because we shot the ball so well.

    Didn't know how to get around the NBA TV blackout so I have only seen a few highlights. I have tickets to the Heat game on Friday and I am stoked to watch Wemby in person.

    3rd and 9

    This argument is a straw man. We were up 10 on Alabama at the time, who did not have a quick strike explosive Offense. In a world where we don't pick that first down up, the win probability for Texas was still well north of 90%.

    Right. And we had been tackling so well all game, so it would for sure have come up 1-2 yards short. And OU is definitely not the type of team to go for it on 4th and short.....

    3rd and 9

    RichUT replied to Vic Mackey's topic in Football

    That’s revisionist history. The last three OU drives ended with: - A turnover on downs after Gabriel missed an easy pitch and catch to Stoops and threw it behind him. They had the perfect play, we defended poorly, and they just botched it. Total gift. - Missed FG after a 10 play 72 yard drive that started from their own 1 (right after we couldn’t get 1 yard in 4 tries) - An incomplete pass to Stogner on 3rd and 6 that Gabriel threw like a missile for some reason. OU stopped themselves all three drives, and it had nothing to do with our Defense being on any kind of “monster roll”. That’s just laughable.

    But they weren’t. The previous three OU drives came up empty due to execution issues. There was the easy pitch and catch on 4th and 2 that Gabriel blew by throwing it behind Stoops. Then there was a missed FG followed by a failed 3rd and 5 where OU had the TE but DG threw a missile that the Stogner couldn’t handle. The D was never disruptive and was simply keeping things in front of them well enough for OU to finally miss a few opportunities.

    Scipio is bang on and it’s his focus on looking at that situation through the lens of win probability that really resonates. If you pick up a first down there, win probability sky rockets. It could have swung things from 50/50 to 95%+. When one play can have that sort of impact, you have to make the right call. Sark didn’t.

    Quinn definitely takes some of the blame there. Window was super tight. Throw was high. JT needs to make the play but QE chose a pass with a higher degree of difficulty and didn’t put the ball right on target.

    Your original post: So you meant let’s see what Arch has….next year?

    I hope he enjoys his walk….
  13. RichUT
    So when it was 30-27 with 1:17 left, we in fact were NOT in the lead?
  14. RichUT
    We never recovered? We had the lead with just over a minute left. We definitely recovered from the turnovers. Shit, maybe if Sark had put the ball in Quinn’s hands on 3rd and 9, we would have won the fucking game. Go take a walk or something man.
  15. RichUT
    Both teams lost today, but the sips were favored to win. Advantage: A&M
  16. RichUT
    Are these announcers high? Run it down to zero and then punt it sky fucking high. You can’t kill 7 seconds running around.
  17. RichUT
    Wouldn’t you just run backwards or laterally here to burn several more seconds?
  18. RichUT
    What the fuck was that first down play?

    3rd and 9

    RichUT replied to Vic Mackey's topic in Football

    There was also a really poor play call in the first half on 2nd and goal from the 5 where we ran a short side jet sweep to J-Whitt and it lost 3 yards. Our red zone play calls have been underwhelming all year long.
  20. RichUT
    Yep. And it tracks. He’s not an alpha extrovert. He feels the weight of the expectations and he’s still learning how to handle it.
  21. RichUT
    There’s been a lot of crazy ass shit offered up today. This take probably takes the cake as the craziest.

    Classic over reaction. All of those teams could beat us. We could beat all of those teams. We definitely need to put any thoughts about the playoffs out of our heads. Go back to work and get better. The playoffs thing will sort itself out.
  23. RichUT
    It has improved, but it’s still an issue early in games. You can tell when he does and doesn’t look comfortable. I don’t think he got into a real rhythm until the drive that ended with the TD pass to Helm. That’s when it was clear he was feeling it.
  24. RichUT
    Totally different players. Rattler suffers from being supremely over confident. Quinn suffers from a lack of confidence.

    Literally a carbon copy of what we did at the end of the first half. Before their drive started I thought to myself “there’s no way we will make that mistake again”. Narrator: “There was, in fact, a way.”
