He just needs glasses.

They are the most relevant Aggies.

This Quinn situation is so strange to me. By all accounts and evidence, Sark runs a professional meritocracy with a focus on procedures and culture. I'm trying to wrap my head around what this would look like for any other functional title contender. If your starter is injured/hobbled, and you have a high profile backup with starter and game experience, this is a no-brainer. You sit the injured guy and play the next man up. No controversy, no rumors, just business as usual. I have to wonder what kind of crap is going on behind the scenes to where this isn't cut and dry. When Quinn was clearly hobbled in the UK game, that was the time to sit him and play the backup. To what degree is Sark so beholden to Quinn that he can't make the obvious move there? Not even wading into the whole Quinn vs. Arch thing that has occupied so many pages on this thread, the guy was clearly injured. That was the time to play the backup. That's why you have one. Because he didn't, though, now we have to wonder if Arch is airmailing the ball in practice so bad that Sark is afraid to play him. It's either that or the Ewers family has compromising photo evidence of Sark. Make it make sense.

He thinks he's clowning us.

35-14 Texas Combined yardage: 720

Did you grow up in Brenham? I went to high school there.

Kentucky Tailgate. What time start? Pay money now? Pay money there? Muledick.

They're waiting to see how things shake out. Then they will arrange things so that we get to play an easy slate. ~Some Aggie, probably.

I'll be at the game. Bringing my son and my old man. It's the boy's first real football game. I expect a bloodbath. Also, can I pay at the tailgate or do I need to buy ahead of time? Is the password still Muledick?

They gotta stop referring to SCAR as USC. I actually had to google “when did A&M play USC” and then feel stupid when the result popped up.

Texas 34 Pig 13 213 yds for WRs

I have tickets to the Kentucky game, will be attending with my old man and son. Probably going to try to tailgate a bit before heading into the game. Where do people park nowadays? They bulldozed my preferred garage, and the pizza joint I used to park at died from COVID.

Of course, in order to contribute to it directly, one would have to live in 1 of 7 states. That's the beauty of our system as currently constructed. We get to watch millions of other assholes from other states determine our reality. Because our say doesn't matter based on where we live.

I consider myself somewhat in the minority in that I don't think it matters who is nominated by either party at this point. Since the Trump revolution, the Republican Party has pretty much crystalized its beliefs and messaging, to the point where at this point it looks like a polished machine. They dogwhistle, scream about transgenders and minorities, and rely on the Democratic party having no spine and no cogent message to shoot them down down. This is playing out at every level across the country in more places than a sane person would like to admit. From the top down, the Republican Party has been cleaning the clocks of the Democrats for over 30 years. Now that the Supreme Court is loaded and Congressional districts are gerrymandered beyond comprehension, settle in for more of the same. Kamala getting her ass kicked tonight is the symptom, not the disease.

Not sure about that Virginia call.

So where did we land on the whole pussy thing?

When your QB has the yips because of constant protection busts and errors, playing the freshman RB who probably struggles with pass protection will make it worse. At least I hope that's the reason rather than a Mack "freshmen lose games" mentality.

An inauspicious beginning

37-17 Texas 240 yds passing

This is where I'm at on Ewers. Natural athlete, flick of the wrist arm talent, should be a great QB. Something upstairs just doesn't click sometimes. The decision making process can toggle on and off. Factor in a (allegedly, but I believe what I've read) meddling family with their eye on the NFL prize moreso than perfecting the craft of playing QB and you end up with what we've seen. 49-0 was wonderful. Winning in Tuscaloosa, awesome. Taking a massive shit on national TV at DKR the other night, not so much. When Vince had the ball, he was inevitable. When Colt was driving, you believed. With Quinn, I hope for the best. But I'm not surprised when it doesn't work out for him. Happens too frequently.
