  1. I refuse to get emotional about anyone named Parker, Ashton, or Hamilton. They all end up fine, either as investment bankers on Wall Street or commercial real estate brokers.
  2. Dbeasy replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
    Tho can’t be right. Arch Manning isn’t on it.
  3. FWIW, someone on one of the UT boards (can’t find the link) mentioned they think Flood was saved by the high portal needs at OL, which is a bit counter-intuitive. They were concerned that if they replaced him, then getting enough OL out of the portal might have been more difficult, or at least more uncertain.
  4. After watching the Indiana OL and DL do what they’ve done the last few weeks, I’m hoping that the portal plans aren’t overly focused on the skill positions to the detriment of the lines.
  5. 30 pushups in the books.
  6. I’m definitely full of shit. For some reason I had a very clear picture in my head that he wasn’t going to be a contributor.
  7. I could be mixing Clark up with someone else’s film. Now I’m curious to go look at it. I do remember him getting good offers despite being a 3 star from 247, although I think he ended up a 4 star composite. It may also have been a friend with access who saw him in fall camp and wasn’t effusive in his praise. I can’t remember. Nevertheless he looked pretty good yesterday.
  8. Ha. Despite him being a pretty highly ranked recruit with good offers, I wasn’t very excited about his high school film as compared to others. Or his high school prom photo.
  9. A few years ago I started mentally tracking RB’s who had been thru ACL and Achilles surgeries, partially because I’ve been through two acl surgeries myself. I noticed a very clear trend of much better performance in the 2nd or 3rd year after coming back, as compared to the first year. The Cowboys Williams is an example of that, who finally looked good again in year three. Along those same lines, those that didn’t comeback strong by year three were permanently worse. Don’t know if we are seeing that 2 year performance bump with Clark, but he looked like a completely different player. What I can’t reconcile is that before he got hurt he didn’t look very good.
  10. Whew! I was worried they were all against our extra point holders. Let’s not worry then.
  11. Yup it’s coming. This is why it’s so critical for leaders of the United States to be grounded in morally sound, ethical, and legal policies and behaviors as much as possible. Otherwise, you encourage enemies to feel justified in performing illegal, unethical or immoral actions of their own. The current US administration’s behavior in acquiescing to Russia in their invasion of Ukraine, plus US actions towards Venezuela, Canada, and Greenland are far more damaging than they may seem at first glance. And those that think Ukraine and Taiwan are the last actions by Russia and China are naive.
  12. People need to realize we are watching the guy who might go down as the best QB in Texas history. “Wait, what did you just say dbeasy? That’s preposterous!”Let me clarify. Vince and Colt were obviously incredible, with Vince being the best ever AT TEXAS. But from the perspective of being a complete QB that ultimately plays at a high level in the NFL for an extended time period, Arch has a chance to be in the discussion with Bobby Layne, who is the best NFL QB in Texas history. Obviously Arch has a long way to go, but he has everything you want in an nfl qb: arm, size, attitude, speed, brain, etc. Let’s enjoy next season. He may not have the talent around him that Vince did, but maybe they can be good enough with some key portal additions to give it a go next year towards a title.
  13. It’s too difficult imo to be fully happy with Sark or fully out on Sark. The last three years have been a mix of really good and a fair amount of not so good. Next year should be pretty telling.
  14. He is pretty slight of build too. Of course so was Worthy.
  15. Sark teams are pretty weird. They rarely blow teams out, but they do play the full 48 minutes, and mostly win. Maybe that’s college football today. Arch was a huge part of the success tonight. Short of his spectacular play, every Sark team every year feels the same on both offense and defense. The offense struggles to run, and the passing game always includes a lot of lower percentage throws, combined with a small set of short passing plays they run over and over. Arch tonight enabled a lot more points. He was fantastic. The defense is usually vulnerable to giving up long drives that mix the run and pass effectively. I hope Muschamp brings something to help the defense get some more 3 and outs and limited drives. I have no idea what this team does next year. A lot depends on the portal, obviously.
  16. Wasn’t Phillips the one who we wanted at safety originally and he wouldn’t come to Texas because he wanted corner? Because he seemed very good in coverage most of the time.
  17. Wow, with Arch at QB, all we need for next year from the portal are RB's, WR's, OL's, and TE's. Otherwise, we are set!
  18. Christian Clark. Future NFL Hall of Fame RB.
  19. Cancel the portals offers for RB!
  20. Thank you for that wonderful compliment. I’m touched.
  21. Michigan was over-rated this year and didn’t look very good most of the time. However, getting a toxic head coach out of there and managing to retain most of their roster for this bowl game means they ought to be well motivated and potentially much better . Couple that with Texas losing huge chunks of the roster today probably means a potentially tough matchup. If Texas wins today, it will be a very good accomplishment. Fans ought to care about this game.
  22. A lot of threads on surly get designated as terrible threads. But this thread has got to be on that medal stand.
