  1. I did notice that, and didn't like it one bit.
  2. That’s what happened. That’s why we make fun of him to this day. Maybe you don’t remember, but people (especially older cynics) had varying degrees of faith in Vince Young until he consummated the deed.
  3. I watched the 2006 Rose Bowl with my dad and uncles. During the 4th quarter when we were down big and things looked hopeless, Uncle Wes lost hope and drove home. He was on the road during the comeback. This man missed the end of what most consider one of if not the greatest football games ever played. He left his bottle of Wild Turkey when he left. My dad, my Uncle Russ, and myself drank it in glorious triumph after 4th and 5. My son tried to leave the living room during the 3rd quarter of tonight's game. I told him we watch every minute of every game. No one wants to be the guy who left and missed VY's 4th and 5. You should have seen him ringing his cowbell at the end.
  4. Given the amount of alcohol this game forced me to consume, I anticipate quite a loose bowel movement at some point soon.
  5. Has anyone made the Neto connection yet? It’s the only explanation for Stroh continuing to trot out there.
  6. We solve the dilemma but simply not scoring.
  7. Check and mate. We did offer Brennan Thompson.
  8. He didn't care for the amenities at Horseshoe Bay. Nor the curtains in the rooms.
  9. Arch was set up to fail. Sark preemptively abandoned the running game for this one. You could tell on the first drive. We had a couple of solid runs throughout the game, but every single time we moved on to throwing it several times in a row. I don't have the box score or play by play in front of me, but I would be surprised if we called consecutive running plays more than once or twice last night. On the road. In a close game. And seemingly half of the running plays we did call were Arch keepers that my dead grandmother saw coming. There's a path to this being a winning team a la 2007 LSU, with a salty defense and an offense that keeps things afloat just enough to get by. But week in and week out, Sark looks at that path and goes off-road instead. It's like he has no idea what this team is and what it's capable of. He continually makes decisions as if he has a functioning offensive line and a QB capable of elevating his teammates like Joe Montana, making correct decisions on every play and marching down the field with precision. Then when that doesn't happen, our defense has to play heroically to keep us in games until special teams gives us good field position or the offense stumblefucks its way into a big play. The Oklahoma game should have been our signpost for the rest of the season. Quick reads, a reliance on ball control and the running game, and complementary football. Instead we apparently ignored its lessons. Unless Sark fundamentally changes his understanding of the team he has and adjusts accordingly, the rest of our games will look like last night instead. Fuck.
  10. I like the idea. I'm in the New Braunfels area so Hill Country sounds appealing, but selling the idea to the wife entails more details. Party start/end times, location, what do we bring, age of other kids, for example. I can bring some food/booze of whatever the theme of the party demands, and I'll be toting an 8 yr old and 5 yr old. No guarantees on attendance yet, but I might be able to swing it, depending on operational parameters.
  11. This is where I’m at. I actually told my wife pre-RRS that I wanted to see some fight out of this team if I’m gonna believe. Then the pregame scuffle happened and I knew we were golden. But now we gotta see it with consistency. We’re too young and not developed enough to cruise by SEC opponents without the appropriate spirit and effort.
  12. The most refreshing thing to me was Sark finally realizing that his normal offense wasn't going to work with this team and pivoting to shotgun based, quick acting playcalls. Once we made the switch after the first quarter, we dominated. Here's hoping we do that from here on out.
  13. Here’s the plan… I say we throw a deep bomb for them to intercept, then when they throw it, get a pick 6. Then we'll be in the lead.
  14. It’s ok though, I moved Colt and Vince into the living room to watch the game with me, so we’ve got the juju on our side. (Don’t yell at me for not framing Vince yet, I just got it autographed recently at HEB.)
