    I was initially a bit hesitant about turning money over to a bunch of strangers on the internet, but I see that your mission is righteous and true. Take my money and continue doing the Lord's work.

    I'm thrilled with the win and cautiously optimistic. There's plenty of stuff to clean up, but we convincingly won our home opener against a G5 opponent--that's more than OU can say this morning. Now let's go fucking annihilate Arky.

    Already more entertaining than that Georgia-Clemson snoozefest.

    God I hate watching Florida State home games. 80,000 people doing that stupid ass chant for 3.5 straight hours.

    Has anyone heard anything about Angilau?

    The thing that made me the happiest to see, more than Card, more than the improved offensive playcalling, more than the stout defense, more than Bijan and Whittington, was seeing our special teams helping us win games rather than humiliating us. They went out and erased a PAT, then followed it up by flawlessly reading the onside kick. They denied a 2PC to boot. Tom "attention to detail" Herman always seemed to forget about that small detail (i.e. 1/3 of the game of football) and I'm so happy that this staff hasn't.

    WE WON BY MORE THAN ONE POSSESSION AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS

    Wow we're not going to win very many games if our offensive line plays this shitty moving forward.

    They're killing us with these short passes what are we doing

    Guys I'm just so happy that this isn't a one possession game right now.
  12. touchthemonolith
    Just about sick of this offensive line.
  13. touchthemonolith
    Dude it's been two drives chill for a second.

    Yeah it was Strong but I'm glad you brought that up. Here's what I'll call Exhibit 2: Again, I know it's different. I think the pieces are in place for Card to be successful here in a way that they weren't for GG--for one, Greg Davis won't be calling his plays. But when it's multiple blue chip QB recruits across about 9,001 offensive coordinators and multiple head coaching regimes that didn't pan out in the last decade, I just want to see what he can do before I declare him our next savior.

    In the defense of whipped dog syndrome, Exhibit 1: I'm not saying Card is Jerrod Heard, which isn't a sensible comparison for obvious reasons. But I think the members of our fan base have earned the right to be in wait-and-see mode before they buy in 100% on new coaches and new quarterbacks.

    Now you're just being semantic. Whether he flashes before or after he turns heads, we can all agree that he's going to make a statement.

    That's completely ridiculous: surly has a stellar reputation for level-headed and reasonable discourse. Now go fuck yourself, asshat.
  18. touchthemonolith
    I'm sure that no matter what the result is, surly won't rush to any unwarranted conclusions based on a single game. We'll reasonably and carefully analyze the result within the narrow context it deserves, everyone will avoid the perils of extrapolating beyond that, and we'll rationally apply the result to our expectations moving forward.

    Coming to Surly the day after Sark said the QBs struggled in a scrimmage:

    How does the O-line look? I don't even know who's up there anymore. I know Kerstetter but that's only because he's been on the team since fucking Jimmy Carter was in office. I guess it's nice to have a guy still playing on the team that Coach Royal personally recruited.

    Man, I don't know if I could say with a straight face that we have the roster of a great team right now. Does anyone feel overwhelmed with confidence in our offensive line? Tight ends? Which of our WRs do you say is not just good, not just promising and filled with potential, but great right now? I feel good about the QB situation but I can't call Card or Thompson great yet based on the combined zero college football games they've started. Which of our linebackers is great: 2020 Big 12 Honorable Mention DeMarvion Overshown? Do you think we have any All-Americans in our secondary? We have a great running back room, a great returner, and the defensive line this year should be special. But my expectation isn't a NY6 berth this year: it's steady growth, development, and buy-in. I want our game against ULL to be our worst and our game against Kansas State to be our best.
  23. touchthemonolith
    I really hope you're right, but if your expectation is that we have essentially no growing pains this year and have our most dominant season in the last ~11 years, then I think you're likely to have a bad time.
  24. touchthemonolith
    I wonder how many times our fan base has to go through the same thing before we learn. Tom Herman needed to go and I like Sark. I want him to succeed so badly. But if you're being honest with yourself, what's more likely: (a) Steve Sarkisian becomes a Texas Longhorn legend, up there with DKR and Mack, we name part of our stadium after him and build a statue of him outside the stadium; or (b) Sark has some ups, some downs, we get sick of waiting for him to come around, and we move on before the end of the decade? I want the first one to be true, but you're lying if you say that the second one isn't way more likely.

    I know we're not supposed to do anything other than chug Kool-Aid and ride the hype train, but low key, if you told me that 'Generic Team X' went 7-3 last year, then lost their entrenched QB1, lost their stud LT, lost their best defensive player, lost their best secondary player (although it's debatable if that was Caden), and hired a new head coach, then asked me to project how they were gonna do the next season, it'd be pretty tricky for me to project them as being world-eaters under most circumstances.
