  1. I hope you're right. While I love the fact that Arch seems like a gamer and looks to possess the coveted athletic instinct that allows QBs to think on their feet and perform reasonably well in the midst of chaos, however there are a few things that I already see from him that I worry about. He's often late on throws and isnt all that accurate on his intermediate throws. I'm hoping the tardiness of his throws is just a reflection of his experience level, but time will tell.
  2. In all honesty rewatching the game makes it clear to me that our Oline wasn't as bad as they appeared to be at first glance. If Quinn plays with even half of the pocket presence he displayed against Michigan then that 2nd quarter is much different. Quinn's pocket presence was absolutely atrocious. He didnt have as much pressure in his face as I thought in realtime and he routinely gave pass rushers a direct line to him by refusing to step up in the pocket. This thread details a lot of the issues Quinn created for himself throughout the game. Make no mistake about it, this was Quinn's worst performance in 2 years.
  3. UTboy isn't related to Johntay. He's just someone from Desoto.
  4. He played for the Horns for the same amount of time as Roger Clemens.
  5. Does the "burnt orange" look weird to anyone else? Damn near Clemson or Tennessee orange.
  6. Ok that makes more sense. I couldnt see them doing away with a mechanism to test into higher math et al, but then again if your goal is to destroy public education anything is possible.
  7. Did HISD get rid of GT level classes at Frank Black middle school in Oak Forest?
  8. Is it true that HISD got rid of GT level classes at Frank Black?
  9. A back shoulder fade right there would've had us playing for the national championship after the 2nd most epic comeback in a high leverage moment in Longhorn history.
  10. Remember also that Worthy didn't run high school track again after his sophomore year due to covid and graduating early his senior year. So who knows what he would've run as high school junior or senior.
  11. The contract shenanigans are compounding. They routinely wait too long and pay top of the market prices for their most of expensive players, thereby exacerbating the issue for each successful star as they hit the the end of their rookie deal. Dak could've easily been finishing up his $25 to $32 million/yr deal in the past year or so. Or they could've already renegotiated a deal at a much lower price than they're going to currently sign him for if they decide to. They've already added $10 to $15 million in guaranteed money to Ceede by simply waiting these last 3 months. They're either a foolishly run franchise or they have other perogatives that they're governed by, ie:
  12. I took it as him saying that for him the Mavs were the easy option, he loves the team staff, players etc… it was any easy situation. Going to the Lakers was forcing himself to do the uncomfortable thing that might make him stronger. But to each its own.
  13. Why do people even bring up Sark's time at USC? He was there for only 18 games while USC was still overcoming NCAA penalties. He wasn't there long enough to even make a judgement on his time there.
  14. By shit I assume you mean referring to decision making process between the Lakers and Mavs as choosing his Dad over his Mom.
  15. Full on Idiocrazy.

    Every other Mckelroy drop back in that game ended up with him on his back. Yall only had 11 official passing attempts for the game yet he was sacked 5 times. The Bama OL was getting destroyed by our pass rush. Had Bama ever been put into a situation where they had to pass the ball (ie Colt playing puts more pressure on your offense, hence the out of character fake punt by Bama to start the game) Mckelroy and the Bama passing attack wouldve been in trouble. Gilbert's numerous turnovers to start the game put our smaller defense on the field for far too long and they couldnt hold up. Styles make fights and without Colt the style of the game turned into a style we couldn't compete in. A shootout would've made for a different style game, thus a different fight.
  17. Flagg is the consensus #1 recruit among all services. Williamson was 5th in the composite rankings in 2018, so no, he wasn't near as hyped as Flagg irrespective of where he was ranked with ESPN.
  18. I don't remember Zion being as hyped as Flagg out of high school. If memory serves me right Zion wasn't even the #1 player in his class. HIs actual play at Duke is really what got the hype train rolling. In fact I think Between him, Barrett, and Reddish, Zion may have been the lowest ranked.
  19. We traded back (drafted Shane Larkin) to save cap space for for yet another futile free agency attempt for the umpteenth time under Cuban. That season's target was Dwight Howard. Donnie's flaw was he only really had interest in directing his energies towards evaluating foreign talent. And foreign talent wasn't as fully optimized back then as it is now so there were a lot of misses.
  20. Cuban's role diminishing is a big part of the solution as well. His total abdication of the draft for much of his time at the helm was a big part of why we only got to 1 NBA Final during Dirk's peak years 2005-2008. As a result we never had any tradeable assets to build around Dirk when he was arguably the best player in the league (2006, 2007, and 2008). Getting to the finals and winning it in 2011 was an absolute miracle, but Dirk's career in Dallas was completely mismanaged. Now we see what having actual young assets on the roster can do for us in building a complete roster. And to think we did all this while still mismanaging Brunson who was another asset we could've further enriched itself with by trading.
  21. You're essentially trading him for THJ. What's not to like about it?
