  1. Finebaum picked Texas.
  2. I wouldn't have phrased it as getting hit; rather, he called the run to get Quinn's juices flowing and regain some confidence. But I think your main point is correct because he was definitely playing scared. I don't buy that the early disguised schemes by Venables explains that away. Sure, it could cause him some confusion, but he wasn't trusting his protection and fled the pocket prematurely several times. Good disguises shouldn't affect his footwork and pocket presence, but could certainly cause some delays in making his reads.
  3. Nah. It was after his handler was told the hotel pet deposit during F1:
  4. Doesn't matter the reason why. It's still stupid and unbecoming.
  5. Exactly. I expect the ratings for this game to reflect it too. Hot take, I know, but interested to see how it stacks up to the Ohio State vs Oregon viewership.
  6. I don't want to hear it at anytime, for any reason, ever. I don't want the younger fans picking it up as a habit because surely a bunch of them will be chanting just because everyone else is, not because they know the Hell why. We're Texas.
  7. I think we win if we get peak Ewers. If he starts out like he did against OU -- trouble. But having that game out of the way, I'm optimistic he won't regress, or if he does start slow, that he'll adjust more quickly this time. Looking forward to see how the defense and the PK/Nansen duo handle the chess game too. Will we see more Lafau in this game? He really popped against OU. And how will the secondary handle an offense that poses a true passing threat with an elite QB and WRs? To what degree can our pass rush mitigate stress on the secondary?
  8. They are still a very talented team. Has anyone recruited better than Georgia for the last 5 years or more? It's pretty much been Ohio State, Georgia and Bama as the top 3 recruiting teams typically and we've started breaking into that arena of late. Georgia hasn't played to their potential for complete football games yet, but they are battle tested if for no other reason than not taking care of business in the first half of games. They will be galvanized for this game and may play their best football yet. Not hard to see the potential for a real barnburner in this game. Who knows how it actually will play out. Likewise, this will be our first test against a good offense. It's absolutely valid to acknowledge that. So yeah, we're rightfully favored, but totally understandable why not by a substantial margin. Bama managed to get Beck out of sorts in the first half, but he came out having regained his composure in the second and darn near pulled off the comeback. Will be interesting to see if our pass rush can get home to Beck or disrupt him. Also interested to see if Georgia can have success running the ball up the middle. We've been somewhat susceptible to that.
  9. And a gun rack at the rear window.
  10. I don't expect they will be so cavalier for this matchup. Not saying you are asserting they will either, but this game is mega-important to their season with one loss already and us clearly being their toughest opponent yet.
  11. That has been OU's MO in the RRS for about as long as I can remember. It's like anything else (holding, PI, etc.), they do it until they get checked either by refs or players, and the refs have always let the chit fly until a Texas player responds. They're trying to intimidate and punk the players. About time someone like Cam Williams said, "Oh, Hell No!" to that BS. Same as was required in Michigan and probably again in Fayetteville too.
  12. I thought they ran pretty well against Bama in the second half. Indeed, my recollection is they came out of half-time establishing the run, which helped them have more success passing. I imagine Kirby will try to do the same against us since we have shown some susceptibility to it. It's unclear how valid a take that susceptibility is though given our defensive game plans versus any given opponent. Other thought is, Georgia has seemed like a team that plays better in the 2nd half this season when I've watched them.
  13. Ole Miss QB pretty good on his feet.
  14. Suck it Putsman!
  15. Gbenda can scoot when he wants to.
  16. Holding, holding, and more holding.
  17. Now they call holding ...
  18. Another blatant hold on Burke.
  19. He might be doing it to wear the sooner D down. Side to side running takes it out of a defense.
  20. Damn Golden running backwards like a stupid freshman. Dumb fuck!
  21. That's because he is. Not surprised at all. He's done the same coming off injury in seasons past. Game rust plus hesitation. Fortunately, he's doing enough so far and our defense has played well.
  22. Good reaction by Cameron Williams sticking up for Wisner. Fuck that sooner pos!
  23. Purdue QB Hudson Card will not play vs. Illinois w/upper body injury, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. Card had started 16 games past 2 seasons for Purdue. W/out Card, redshirt freshman Ryan Browne in line to make his 1st career start — Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) October 11, 2024
