  1. I like what I've seen out of Simon too. Him and Gibson not getting a single touch was weird when it was clear Wisner wouldn't be effective.
  2. In this day and age, the vast majority of coaches are not gonna give you the blunt sound bites that make you feel better. Particularly Sark. He runs a tight ship and wants to keep things in-house as much as possible. Nothing should make us feel better anyways besides a better and improved product on the field.
  3. People calling for Caldwell have lost their goddamn minds. It is so incomprehensibly stupid and short sighted. Take a deep breath.
  4. Thinking we are now in a transition year isn't an excuse. I think it's become the reality. Before the year started, I thought we were championship contenders, but even then I thought 2026 squad would be a better team. You lose Ant Hill, Taaffe, probably Muhammad, but tons of talent returns. Offensively Arch would be in his second year as a starter with very few important pieces on that side heading to the NFL draft. Our OL is a disaster, Arch needs more time to blossom than we thought, RB room is deep but so far lacking anyone with real juice that can overcome poor or questionable OL play.
  5. Nice post. The problem with Ezra Klein's pragmatic strategy is that he's already 5 years behind the times. A presidential primary candidate tried it in 2020: Pete Buttigieg. Medicare For All "Who Want It", clear and welcoming to all communication, trying to appeal to old school conservatives. I think Pete is more progressive than he lets on and just doesn't want to scare anyone away. Even as Transportation Secretary, he listened to the hardcore progressives and started enacting some of their policy suggestions in the last half of his term, to the point where Pete critics like Zephyr Teachout publicly applauded his work. Unfortunately, I think we are past the point of someone like Buttigieg winning. 1. it takes a ton skill and discipline and 2. voters don't have the patience for it anymore. The country has gone to complete shit in the last 5 years and people are understandably freaking out.
  6. Anyone flipping out about Arch’s play yesterday clearly didn’t recalibrate their expectations enough after the UTEP game. Warts and all, that was his second best performance this season. He made some bad decisions/throws, but also did a great job many times of avoiding pressure and stepping up in the pocket. RBs had 15 yards and we didn’t have a LG. He’s got a lot of work to do but there is more potential with him than anyone else on offense at this point.
  7. Calm down. We got our asses whipped and Sark has completely misread and mismanaged this season so far. But the problems are undeniable now and I expect some positive changes from the staff moving forward.
  8. I'm not happy about it or making excuses, but I think we just need to accept that is a transition year for Texas. Losing all that experience from last year's OL is clearly too much to overcome. Arch and Quinn are basically opposites with their QB strengths/skills and Sark's offense looks completely different. The transition has been rough and it's gonna take some time. I think Arch will be good but gonna take longer than we hoped and expected. Create a competition at RB to find out who can be the man next year. If no one breaks out by the end of the season than get a stud in the portal.
  9. I feel like the offensive struggles were dictated by personnel decisions before the game even kicked off. Trotting Stroh out there to start again was malpractice. What a disaster. That was a five alarm fire even in our cupcake wins and they ignored it. SItting Wisner for a few weeks and giving him almost every single RB carry against a tough Gator D? Not one touch for Gibson or Simon? Strange.
  10. Quinn would still be at the Gainesville hospital if he played yesterday.
  11. The decision to solely depend on Wisner with RB carries was dumbfounding.
  12. Some of y'all need to learn how to handle the liquor.
  13. The Trump administration considers Theo Von as an ally, so much so that they included a clip of him in a DHS deportation shitpost video without asking for permission.
  14. JFC. Just shitting words out of their mouths at this point.
  15. This is incredible. Never heard this version, thank you for sharing.
  16. Yep. These people are fucking with you. Lead, be authentic, don't cross the line in the sand, and embrace them into the fold whenever that day comes.
  17. Great post, Derka. We didn't root out the racism, bigotry, and misogyny. They just hid in their caves until it was ok to publicly think that way again.
  18. Javale! Always had a soft spot for him and drafted him many times on my fantasy basketball teams as a reserve back in the day. I saw him walking through IAH a few years ago and wanted to say hi, but he had that exact face on so I didn't, lol.
  19. I time stamped Bill Burry's comments on his Riyadh Comedy Festival performance. Completely leans in on whitewashing Saudi Arabia. I wan't some Bill Burr stan but have enjoyed him over the years. Bye.
  20. No. I know this has been an argument on Surly for a while now. Play their game and beat them. Do whatever it takes to win. No. We can't put a band-aid on this. This shit has to hit rock bottom and Trump voters need to willingly reject his horrific "project". If Dems start lying, it's definitely all over. The line is already in the sand, they cannot cross it.
