Also Jesus Ewers obviously isn't opting out right now don't be idiots lol

Come on guys. Quinn Ewers has played two dogshit games in a row and it's fair to wonder how he + Texas will handle defenses with the personnel to replicate what Oklahoma and Georgia put on tape defending the Texas passing game. Stop there. This Sugar Bowl stuff is revisionist history. Texas lost that game because it was a glaring matchup issue with the Washington offense, who played an excellent game in their own right. Sark not being particularly interested in running the ball wasn't really helpful either. And of course RBs fumbled twice when they did get touches. That Texas even had a chance to win that game was product of a ridiculously "lucky" break in the form on an injury to a Washington player stopping the clock, and had they pulled it off it would have been the most bullshit back-in of all back-ins. Texas didn't lose to Washington because of Quinn Ewers, they lost because they were outplayed and outcoached in nearly every facet of the game. That kind of thing can happen against really good opponents. Don't make more of it than it was.

Banks is visibly frustrated there and rightfully so.

This is what I saw as a former OL. The OL were by no means great and absolutely got beat on individual plays but they competed. Ewers had time on several pressures/sacks. I'd have to rewatch to say whether those were inflicted by coverage or Quinn himself and I am probably not about to do that to myself. Beyond that, Wisner had 3.5 ypc on 15 carries with a 10-yard long, meaning even if you remove his best run he had 14-42, or 3 ypc. Remove QBs (sack yards + Arch scramble) and Texas ran for 3.75 ypc. Georgia net of Beck was 4.25, for reference. I wouldn't call that particularly good but the run game was functional, especially given Georgia had zero reason to respect the passing game. I don't think the Texas OL got beat any worse than the DL did as a unit.

That sub was pretty clearly about trying to settle Quinn Ewers. The game was very obviously too fast for Arch. Sark likely knew that would be the case but gave it a shot anyway.

The entirety of the remaining schedule is mediocre teams. Texas is still going to rack up a lot of wins and possibly win out. This team is not a serious championship contender in its current state though. Not consistent enough at the QB position. Will never win 3-4 playoff games.

Yeah, watching live it looked to me like Ewers made the OL look a lot worse than it was. To be clear, Georgia still won the LOS but the OL competed. Wisner found 3-4 ypc and there were plenty of instances of Ewers self sacking or pressuring with functional or even good protection. I'm not surprised the game was too fast for Arch but Ewers looking like this is inexplicable. Everything is still in front of Texas but it won't be for much longer if the passing game continues to be neutered by the performance of the quarterback, Defense acquitted itself well in general, but the Texas offense is regressing.

never voted Trump but I did think Sark was a bad hire, so I can empathize.

New/2020 non-voters and simple high turnout can mean different things in this election, and we won't really know what until after the fact when data is available. This one, though. This is good.

Honestly, no one cares. It's good for the lolz I guess but no one cares.

I honestly can't even listen to what he's saying because the contrast between his face and hands is so overwhelmingly impossible to ignore.

There are definitely some funny AI Bidens but you managed to find this Texags-grade fail

Don't hold your breath.

I mean, it's there in the polling. My point was to illustrate how you'd see Trump perform better in the national popular vote without an EC victory. We'll see if it pans out in a few weeks. I tend to agree Harris won't lose too much of the black vote, maybe a few percentage points relative to Biden due to churn in the electorate and the peeling off of younger men, but that's not really racially specific.

I'd defend Majors here because he was always a long-term S&C project. That he was on the field as a RS FR in 2021 when he was clearly not ready for Power 5 football is an indictment of where the OL group was, not him personally. He was always going to need 2-3 years. I absolutely do credit this staff for his development because I'm not at all confident the prior staff would have him where he is now. Similarly, Sorrell was an unheralded recruit but flashed as a freshman an has shown a more or less linear development arc. Again, credit to the staff for seeing his development through but if anyone ever wrote him off as a JAG that would have been dumb. The really exciting thing is they're showing the ability to eval and develop their own guys too. As recently as last year the success stories on the OL and front seven were nearly all Herman recruits - Ford, Gbenda, Ojomo, Coburn, Sweat, Murphy, Broughton, Collins, Sorrell, Connor, Majors, Jones - all of those guys were Herman evals that they developed - some of them they very much changed the trajectory on. Now we see the next wave with their own guys - some of them like Hill, Simmons, Banks, and Campbell were obviously super high end, can't miss prospects but guys like Hill and Campbell did have some development needed and they've managed that impressively. And there are more like Lefau, Williams, Burke, etc. that they have brought along nicely. Real, sustainable evaluation and development of high level athletes on the LOS is a foolproof method for being consistently competitive on a national level and this staff has shown exactly that. Feels good man.

It's less about migration and more about where Trump has made gains in polling - a major driver of that is people of color. Most of the larger, noncompetitive states on both sides are significantly less white than the nation as a whole - CA, TX, FL, NY, IL, NJ, etc. It's plausible, perhaps even the base case if you lean into polling, that Trump could see a boost in the national popular vote but see his relative EC advantage eroded because Harris has held up better among whites - WI, MI, PA, and NE-2 are the first path to 270 and all notably whiter than the nation overall. Side note, I think New Mexico could use more polling because of this. It hasn't been polled in a month. Harris has held a decent lead in the polls that do exist so I'm not saying it's going to flip or anything but it would be nice to get a poll or two to see where it stands now.

Aside form Biden being 119 years old and more conservative on some social issues, do you know how laws are passed in this country?

I mean, isn't that basically the state in a nutshell?

Helobious'ed

This. Not only were guys open, he found them even early. He just missed on several occasions.

Do you exclusively associate with males age 16-35 or so? Beyond that, even accepting your premise for sake of argument, is that not then Rogan validating her?

Well, you got what you wanted. Happy now?

I... Wasn't aware they need convincing?

Oh I cannot wait for the Democratic handwringing on this one

lol y'all responding to BOW
