  1. Well, that's just part of being the hunted, right? People deliberately diss you on trivia questions. That's how you know you've arrived.
  2. Hmmmm. Los Angeles or fucking College Station? Congrats to Longstreet for not being a hopeless moron.
  3. It's simple math, right? You want two years out of Arch, and if his upside is as high as it looks, he'll definitely be gone after his RS Jr year. I actually like Quinn, but one way or another, this is his last year at Texas.
  4. Well, he did have to live there for a few years. I'd be bitter at that.
  5. Just because a line got written into a movie doesn't make it clever. Again, I'd lose it. Even if I was Billy Bob Thornton. It only sounds clever if you turn your brain completely off.
  6. "Hope in one hand and shit in the other, see which fills up first." ??? Is that supposed to be clever? I'll hope in my mind, like everyone does, and leave shitting in the hand to you. Hope you don't make a habit of it. Seriously, though, I'd lose that retort. It's all kinds of stupid if you give it even a nanosecond of thought.
  7. Yean, we hate our big wins. And if he was worth anything, Ewers would have thrown for 351 yards.
  8. Look, the coach appears to be set on Quinn. So that's done. Yeah, Quinn hasn't lived up to his hype. But he's not trash by any means. Just hope for the best.
  9. Not being an asshole on the Internet. Serious question. I think Quinn is a good college quarterback, not the awful cartoon figure caricatured at times here. But he seems more subdued, less sure of himself than last year. So, what happened?
  10. I disagree. Not saying he should replace Quinn today, but Arch damn well better be ready to be a full-time starter, because he will be next year. He looked like one when he played. even allowing for the imperfections game experience will iron out. Good God, can you imagine Quinn Ewers if he had Arch's touch on the deep ball?
  11. He's had a few games where he hits it, but yeah. Anyone else think Quinn has regressed a little from last year?
  12. We do have some good to great players. That doesn't make it our year by any stretch, even if Arch is QB. I've seen better Texas team's than this spit the bit. It happens. Just enjoy having a good team that's nationally relevant.
  13. Lighten up. I've seen a lot of years where Texas had a championship caliber team yet didn't win one. It happens. If you're tempted to lose perspective and melt down, Just imagine Charlie Strong and his merry pack of hapless coordinators trying to figure out which end of a football is up while truly bad QB play cements another ignominious Texas defeat. Man, we didn't even know how to execute the coin toss back then. Beating Arkansas 20 to 10 to go 9-1 while probably headed to the playoff looks pretty damn sweet by comparison.
  14. This. I've never seen a QB as good as Quinn can be who is more inconsistent with deep passes. That has to hurt his NFL prospects.
  15. Well, almost every ball is catchable if the receiver flat lays out perfectly at just the right moment. You don't, however, want to count on that, because it's hard.
  16. Excuse me, but isn't that always true of A&M. And it's not a compliment. They stumble so close to self awareness. Come on Aggie, take that extra step. Just one more, and then you'll be free.
  17. I think Jerry could cement his legacy by trading Dak for Daniel Jones. As an added bonus, he could keep the corpse of Ezekiel Elliott as the starting RB. What a stoppable force those two would be,
  18. That's what happens when you play at the end of the season. The favorite has a full season's worth of data behind it. Also, A&M and Texas are rarely both on a roll when they play. Typically, one is up while the other is reverting to the median.
  19. It wasn't a perfect throw, but in my days as a receiver, it was what we'd consider catchable. Maybe 25% Ewers fault and 75% the receivers. But when it's 50% or more on the receiver, he gets the blame no matter how geometrically disorienting that 25% was. Cuz it's not exactly a walk in the park to throw the ball either. That said, Quin could use some improvement in consistency on deep throws.
  20. Hey, at least we're still better than the Giants. Probably. Maybe.
  21. That is true. And Quinn definitely has his moments. He's a good-to-very-good college quarterback, but not a great one. I kind of feel bad for him, because I don't think his resume necessarily translates into the draft status he wants. NFL scouts will note that he's (1) injury prone; (2) inconsistent with the deep ball; (3) inconsistent with his footwork (a real red flag); and (4) can evidence a certain passivity in the face of difficulties.
  22. Geez, the level of fetal position moaning in this thread is something else. What's the point of panicking on a Texas team that actually is capable of winning its last four games? Certainly the offense needs to be more consistent and play two good halves, but I'm riding with 11-1 and the SEC title game until another loss actually occurs.
  23. I like him, but he's having a historically bad game.
  24. He does seem to be playing himself down any future draft boards.
  25. Trust the process. It's taken us only decades to come within 38 points of Detroit. It also brought us the scintillating return of Ezekial Elliot's corpse and the fascinatingly dull enigma that is Dak Prescott. And senility can only help Jerry's judgement, right? 2057 is our year. Just wait!
