  1. I guess we'll find out this year, but last year they went 8-5 and beat WI, MN, IA, NE. They only lost by 2 to #3 MI in Ann Arbor and slaughtered NW and WYOMING. I don't know how that's not a legitimate P5 program. If they're not legit then about 30 other P5 programs aren't legit.
  2. That one really pissed me off. Was yelling at TV. Brooks woulda had a 1st down 2 plays later and probably more points. We saw a lot of B12 refs taking a yard away from Texas or adding a yard to opponent last year. No doubt we'll see more if it this year.
  3. Canzez seems awfully low. They dominated a legitimate P5 program, which is more than most of the other teams at this point. They could easily finish 3-5.
  4. Love doing horns down to opposing fanbases. Pisses them off. After all, it just means Bevo has his head down ready to drive their ass into the ground just like this.
  5. I'm not going to insult my intelligence by watching that whole thing. What kind of idiot thinks that other QB's don't have dropped balls, WR's run wrong routes, teammate knock the ball out, OL miss blocks??? If you ADJUST every QB then Quinn will fall right where he is, 59th in the country in QBR. One can argue the QBR is flawed, but then it's flawed for all. The only thing I will give the kool-aid drinkers is the PI's. It's obvious a Texas WR will have to get gang raped on the field for a PI to be called. But that still doesn't change it to a completion. Quinn was #50 in QBR last season, and that's what he is until he starts improving that number.
  6. I think they're both at fault. It may be Helm's man initially, but there's only 2 things Mitchell even can do on that play. 1. Stand there and do nothing. 2. Engage with the LB. What he did was a little bit of both. Pictures don't tell the whole story, watch it live or slo-mo. He initially stands there and does nothing but then realizes he needs to block too late. The defender was even with him before he made an attempt to block. If he had the mindset I'm gonna knock that guy on his ass before the ball was snapped he would've been in position to keep the guy out of the backfield. If Banks is quick enough to get out and block that LB, then certainly on of the quickest guys on the team can get in that gap. Look at the first picture. The LB has further to travel than Mitchell.
  7. Sark said in his presser the OL issues were due to communication and can be fixed. OK. The conclusion is pretty obvious. If you don't fix it then you suck as a coach and need to have your ass fired.
  8. FCB needs a good punch in the face for his questions clearly asked just to criticize and demean our players.

    I watched it a couple of times yesterday. AD made NO EFFORT to get in front of the defender. He just stood there and let the defender brush past him. Impossible to make that block is ridiculous. Why are you on the field in you're not even going to try to make a block? He totally whiffed on another too.

    I hope Sark and Jackson have an ass chewing session with AD. Worst on the team in run blocking. He was 100% responsible for the failed 4th down. The Freshmen all made him look bad. That kind of effort is BS. Ironically, Casey Cain was the best but n=12 is very low in predictability. Regardless, AD better get his shit together real quick or get benched no matter how talented he may be. That's not a team effort.
  11. For any team not named Texas this may be true. But for any team playing Texas the DB can pick up the WR, body slam him into the ground, dive on the WR crown of helmet first and nothing will be called. Sark expecting a PI is laughable. When is he going to realize it's nothing but a wasted down and puts the team in 2nd and long?
  12. Murphy isn't going to start no matter how bad Quinn is, unless Quinn gets hurt. So quit getting your hopes up.
  13. Sark and adjust in the same sentence? Wasting 1st down against Bama is going to get Quinn's head taken off. Then all those wanting Murphy may get it sooner than anticipated.
  14. No Duggan, Johnston, Miller and a few good players on defense. Things always regress back towards the mean eventually. Sunny Dikes is no Nick Saban. Remember when Aranda was a genius?
  15. You peepul are all rong. You just watch. Whyoming vs tech rematch for the natty.
  16. Bryan makes some good points, but the #1 factor on improving from last season is changing that net plays run from a negative to a positive. And one of the biggest factors there was wasting downs throwing long to Worthy. When there's about a 2% chance of success, maybe that's not what you should be doing. But his point about Brooks having a higher YPC is meaningless. Brooks didn't have enough carries for that to even be statistically valid, and he did it on mop up time.
  17. I'd like for Yorsuck to just by chance meet up in a bar with DJ Campbell.
  18. I wouldn't call it a wash against the probability of what Card woulda done last year. Against arky he was a Freshman and his stats in that game, his worst, were still better than Quinn's vs okie lite. And I think anyone would agree he improved significantly last year. Even Sam sucked his Freshman year.
  19. I think I agree with you, but I can't read most of it. One thing I do know is if tech goes 6/8 on 4th down again I'll personally be in Sark's office punching him and Coach K in the face. And, IF, which is a big IF, Quinn can improve accuracy significantly teams won't be stacking the box. No one can use lack of WR's this year as an excuse unless there's a rash on injuries. And yes, Sark has to adjust. He wouldn't pass to open up a stacked box against tech or tcu. And Quinn shoulda sat and learned in the second half of the okie lite game. Any good coach will tell you if a person is lost, the best thing is for them to sit and watch. Card's worst game ever woulda been better than what Quinn did that day.
  20. Sark still waiting on his man for DC. Still battling LSU, ND, maybe a couple of others. Hope we can outbid them, or at least outsell them. I don't know why anyone would want to go work for Ed O.
  21. I have no doubt you were there along with shithead fooster.
