  1. So we whiff on our major targets the first weekend. Let's see how we do next time through the order. If we haven't landed anyone of consequence to fix our "glaring for months like Chernobyl" needs along the offensive line by the 7th inning stretch, it may be time to put in some pinch-hitters.
  2. Agreed. I feel like it’s getting twisted around to where people think I’m saying VY wasn’t awesome. I’m just saying that ‘04 VY was an awesome QB that had not yet been put on Mount Rushmore yet, with a goose egg to OU and several spotty games on his ledger to that point. Much like Arch to this point has some real stinkers but also some badass “put the team on his back” moments. It remains to be seen whether Arch will take the next step, but we sure as hell know what happened when Vince did.
  3. 4th and 18 was awesome, but being down to 2004 Kansas with 4 minutes to go in the final quarter and needing a miracle play to pull it out doesn’t really support that he was college football’s god quite yet. We beat them 66-14 the next year when VY ascended.
  4. If he’s wearing burnt orange, that’s a 10 yard holding penalty.
  5. Agreed. And they’ll keep doing it, just like this past August, and everyone will lap that shit up as if they’ve never been hoodwinked before.
  6. HAHAHAHAHAHA Thanks for the laugh. I was around for VY, and for Simms/Applewhite, and for Brown, and for Morentz, and for Peter the Great. I know just how good VY was. He's my favorite Longhorn ever. I've met him. All I am trying to say is that as of the 2004 season, Vince Young was not the player you are referencing or remembering. He was not the inevitable machine that he was in 2005. Lord knows if Arch will get there, but his trajectory is favorable and he has all the tools. Hopefully he'll keep growing. That's all I was trying to interject. Carry on.
  7. In fairness, the Vince Young you remember is what Arch will be next year, timeline-wise. 2004 RS SO Vince (2025 Arch comp) got shutout by OU and barely snuck by Kansas. Next year is the season for Arch. We'll see if he turns into superman or not. I'm not saying he will be, but it's not outside the realm of possibility. Dude has every tool to go all the way.
  8. Great, we’re on the “Actually, Colt McCoy wasn’t that good” part of our collective descent into hell. Goddamnit.
  9. Piggybacking on this. I need all the forums in one clickable place, right now I have to click like 3 times to move around.
  10. I want in on this.
  11. Whelp, South Florida fucked me and took a big chunk out of my max points, but I guess we'll see how things shake out as we keep going. Should have paid more attention to the coaching changes instead of blindly following my spreadsheet.
