Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
sidis replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
it was the weirdest play of the game. it's like we were confused. dude ran onto the field without moving his arm an inch making it clear that they could do nothing but run it and we looked like we were anticipating a roll out. frustrating. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
sidis replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
man, i hope that burntorange&white and thatguy are at least getting compensated for their efforts in this thread. every single page, bow: everything is quinn's fault and he is a giant pussy. thatguy: everything that is good is because of quinn and everyone else on the teams sucks. random poster drop in: i think quinn may still be hurt. hank hill: everyone is an asshole and i hate you all. you guys are both too extreme. and, as the arbiter of all truth and facts in this universe, you're both right and you're both wrong and you are both too personally invested in your perception. in my opinion, quinn has been playing ghosts since he got back and cannot string together any consistency at all. he's had horrible turnovers against vandy, kentucky, agro, and georgia that have been brutal and put us in very dangerous positions. our defense has bailed us out a lot. much like the baylor game in 2022, quinn was in such a bad place trying to see the game against uk that we literally ran the entire fourth quarter out with zero pass attempts. the passes he made that were picked (and worse still, should have been picked) against georgia were seriously terrible, as was the one against agro (which would have been picked regardless of deflection). against uga, the miss to moore on the flag (corner post) route on second down in the red zone was an all-time horrible pass. the pass to gunnar on the wheel that would have been called back anyway due to the bond pick was exceptionally terrible given how open he was. the decision to go to golden after the first first down in overtime in the back of the endzone was braindead. on 3rd down, wingo is there for a first down and he dumps it to wisner for nothing. he throws off his back foot and lobs balls way, way too much. he has some of the worst footwork in the history of college football. he's also not really a leader or a guy that extracts the most from his guys...no one is running through a wall for quinn ewers. on the other hand, he finally had three exceptionally timed and placed deep balls for the first time in a while against uga...building on a couple of nice ones against agro. and it really opened things up for the offense yardage wise. that's a major positive that i had abandoned all hope for prior to the tamu game. he threw some exceptional mid-range balls against uga over the middle of the field as well that looked routine but are much more difficult than they look...especially against uga...one to bond that was much more impressive than it looked on first glance zipped through an over/under zone bracket, a great read on the moore td and good delivery. while the 4th and 2 pass is relatively routine, he put that fucker on a perfect dime in the clutchest of moments. a real nice ball to helm as well through anticipated coverage windows. the bombs to golden were real nice. he moved about the pocket incrementally better in the seccg than he has in a while (still not great but not like regular season uga, ou, or uk). i will say while most of us are frustrated and want better from quinn, his trending from arkansas through georgia has been positive (with a low point in the second half of uk). he was better against uga...and that's a tough team to be good against when they are such an overwhelmingly bad matchup for a sark offense given that they have four linebackers that run like deer that completely destroy all the rinky dink sideways shit. i think the tamu and georgia games have a lot of positive things to build off of and some seriously braindead shit that nearly killed us. it's quinn's career in a nutshell. but if he keeps up with the turnovers, the teams in the playoffs (including clemson) will punish us in a way that kentucky is not capable. i've said it virtually every week since he's come back: here's hoping we get good quinn. if we can get three quarters of good quinn a game instead of one, we can beat every team in the field. deep down and gun to my head, my true feeling is that if arch had continued to get experience through the schedule, he would probably be a slightly greater net gain to the offense right now. but that shit is pure speculation. he's an unknown quantity and playing well against miss state, ulm, and utsa is not an indicator of performance against georgia and tamu and all of you slobbing over his highlights against shit teams need to chill some. here's to a rested and ready quinn lighting the playoff on fire (one can hope). eta tldr: everyone is right and everyone is wrong. quinn ewers is the duality of humanity in every way. capable of such beautiful dreams and such terrible nightmares. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
sidis replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
no, for the hypothetical nfl team that does not have a relatively mediocre roster around a transcendent qb. dude, their wrs last year were laughably bad. it was a theme for the entire season. pacheco is a star? he has 55 carries for 234 yards and 1 td...4.3 yards per carry. the very definition of mediocre. they have a solid run defense but their pass defense is 20th in the league. they are in the top half of the league overall. the chiefs are not a star studded roster the last couple of years and, to the entire fucking point being made before getting sucked into this idiocy...their success is almost exclusively derived from hero ball from their quarterback. if you want to debate that, feel fucking free and good luck to you. -

besides mahomes, there are very few players on the chiefs i would pick up from last year or this year. i don't think this is a particularly controversial point. what do you think the chiefs' record is this year with no mahomes? what do you think the chiefs' record is if you trade every player on the chargers for the chiefs but keep mahomes? maybe kelce the exception...and eventually worthy. but to say the nfl doesn't look for hero ball from qbs when this entire century's list of champions has been utterly dominated by two quintessential hero ball qbs is kind of funny. but it is true that nfl gms are all fucking idiots. -

hmmm, if that is true, it is no wonder why the same team keeps winning the super bowl with a relatively mediocre overall roster. -

because it was entirely disingenuous and pointless as it related to your original question. and a dumbass point that we lost to a qb with a lower qb rating than quinn. we did not lose to beck. we lost to stockton and quinn as sad as it is to say. sadly, we are saddled with a mediocre at best qb who can usually put together one quarter of decent play per game and is otherwise a total liability and incapable of making any big plays in the clutch. it sucks. oh well. so many high hopes after the solid performances against okstate and michigan. -

See my edit that you left out of your quote to acknowledge that utterly dumbass point regarding your “honest question.” -
I certainly could not give two fucks less about what he says. But someone was WRONG on the internet and I would not have been able to sleep tonight knowing that. loco, he said it on the Friday morning call in show with that other dipshit he hosts it with on the sec network.

Huh? You compared Quinn’s qbr and Beck’s qbr and said we lost despite better qb play from quinn compared to beck. The last play of the game for Beck was the last play of the first half. When he went out of the game, Texas was winning 6-3. Not sure what you’re confused by. I guess you could argue the overtime handoff but, I mean… -
wrong. he said it straight up dude. he said it before the game on the sec network. he's been bagging on texas all year and said that at the end of the day, he had to root for uga because a first year sec team should have to take their lumps.

FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
sidis replied to TKthunder2's topic in Football
"lost" is being exceedingly charitable my friend. i think tcu in '22 is the only thing you're looking down at. also, if you are saying they had the same record going into the game, that's not right. bama had lost to manziel and notre was undefeated. of course, notre had to vacate the entire season afterwards and ultimately finished 0-0. -

CEO of UHG Shot and Killed in NYC - WTF is wrong with you New York
sidis replied to Bevo's topic in Daily Texan
On its surface, that looks like a multi level fusion at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels. I'm a little thrown off because I don't see a spacer and usually that low, they take use an ALIF approach so he should also have the pedicle screws from the front. This was likely because the two discs were either extremely degenerated or, more likely for his age, he had repeated herniations at those levels that were inflaming his nerve roots. basically, all of you that have had sciatica, multiply the debilitating pain by 1,000,000. This is effectively the same type of procedure i was referring to in my post on the first page and UHC denied me for about six months. i had to navigate the greatest collection of appellate labyrinths that were clearly designed to dissuade the policy owner and make them give up. i never thought about murdering anyone (other than myself) through the process but as i said on the first page, the chris rock "i understand" meme would apply if my speculation that he had to go through a hellacious process for months on end while in an extreme level of debilitating pain. If one infers that he got the procedure done from that social media profile pic, i wonder if they denied the coverage post-op. that would be weird given that most surgeons/health care companies aren't stepping into the o.r. without pre-approval. but who knows, he may have had someone else go through it or something else made him snap. that said, for the six months i was fighting with them, i would be lying if i did not say i felt a great deal of hostility towards every single person from uhc that i had to deal with including the preliminary litigation process.- 1988 replies

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

unfortunately he won't have lines pissing their pants trying to double murphy and sweat to free him up but i agree, that is how i see pk utilizing him in the early opportunities. -
Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
sidis replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
very exciting news and a position of need. so much of our defensive success the last two years has been predicated on the development of mature defensive tackles that have dominated the middle of the field and effectively taken away the traditional inside running game entirely. i expect that he will get on the field very early in his career (given we have like one dt that's not a 5th year senior or a freshman) but hopefully terry has the wisdom to see how it has played out for those with patience with sweat, collins, broughton, and (to a lesser extent) murphy. pretty excited about the defensive recruiting class. great work, staff. now a shocker offensive line stud please? -
i would suggest michigan or ucla.
-
probably from you saying: that is different than what i said. as i said, you were loose with your language but it matters. gain is not the same as volume...particularly on a tube amp. and distortion certainly is not.
-
is there anything that your don't genuinely have the absolute worst taste in? you talking about this fucking guy? his posts on 1/6/21 are rather choice.

like i said yesterday dude, if you are playing and practicing guitar and enjoying it, i have no criticisms to offer of how you spend that time. do your thing. all joking aside, while i am not a great guitarist, i am a reasonably competent one. and to any beginners that are utilizing this thread as a resource, i think it is important that they understand that there is an enormous difference between someone advocating for practicing their practicing/playing a clean signal loud to better reveal opportunities to improve their technique (which is a totally valid point) versus someone advocating for practicing/playing with extreme levels of gain and distortion on the signal chain to reveal those same issues. you are going to substantially hide your weaknesses (particularly in chords) in that context. speaking at even the most basic levels, playing a traditional b or f chord and making it sound good on an acoustic or a clean tele plugged into a huge tube amp turned up to 10 is substantially harder than making a b or f sound good with the same guitar running through a tube screamer, a distortion pedal, and a fuzz pedal to an amp turned up to 10. while hyperbolic with my application of penile scenarios, it wasn't that far off. with that signal chain, you can just slam your hand against the neck and it can sound like "hell yeah." perhaps you were just loose with your language and all you meant was practicing loud can more easily lead to identifying weaknesses and improvement which i 100% agree with. but there is a difference between that and practicing with a thrash metal signal chain in order to identify nuanced technique issues. do your thing. make some music.
-
like i said, do your thing...whatever is fun for you and helps you improve. for my part, i'm going to go practice my paradiddles on my snare with yarn tonight.
-
so, if i have this right, you're attempting to practice and play clean, legato guitar phrases and expressions with gain and distortion pedals on thrash metal levels? you're trying to play eric johnson and mark knopfler's music with david mustaine's signal chain while retaining its clean melodic expression? you know what's really hard to do, man? play a violin with a drumstick. have you ever tried that? i mean, i think i have the col legnos, spiccatos, staccatos, and ricochets down but you have to be world class exceptional to get a good detache, sul tasto, and legato bow strokes to make that stradivarius sing like an angel with a drumstic for a bow. for my next trick, i will train myself to reach art blakey levels of jazz drumming by practicing with q-tips.

i wonder what cops in vermont do all day. investigate maple related crimes? subaru thefts?
