  1. Football is complicated. There is so much nuance to the game, that's what makes it the best sport in the world. If you don't want to participate in detailed discussions, that's your prerogative. But please don't talk down to people because you're not willing to go deeper. We didn't really run the ball well vs. Michigan. Take out Wingo's 55 yard end around, and our leading rusher was 36 yards from Gibson on 10 carries. Running was effective enough, but what made our offense click was Quinn's efficiency and getting RZ TDs.
  2. Can someone give me a good reason for Helm not being involved until late in the game? I have a hard time believing Sark can't scheme plays for him. Felt like this happened in 2nd UGA game as well.
  3. It happens in many ways. A ST or defensive touchdown and penalties that extend opponent's drives. This game went off schedule very early. A part of that was our own decision to go for a punt block after the first drive.
  4. When I see all this AI "art" bullshit, I think back to Thujone's artistic genius. We need him. The world needs him.
  5. Tip for Tessitore: when you call every play like it's the biggest play of the game, then none of the actual big play calls have any gravitas behind them. Stop. Get help.
  6. Mack Brown en route to close the deal. *ducks*
  7. It was 14-3 Texas halfway through the 1st quarter. The punt return TD kind of replaced the possible blocked punt TD, and it still ended up not serving us that well. The main reason the game got stressful is because our offense couldn't stay on the field and get in a rhythm. We had the ball for like 4 total minutes of 1st and 3rd quarter combined. Crazy.
  8. Milwee is upstairs in the booth, right? I wonder if he and Sark are talking throughout the game.
  9. Especially due to PK being perfectly happy as a coordinator with no/little desire to be a HC. The continuity is massive for us.
  10. I would be shocked if Arch only starts for one year at Texas. The media is gonna run with it, but I don't think that's his plan.
  11. Want to give credit to Ewers as well for his 3rd down TD run to put us up 24-8. The frustration with Quinn has been the inability to just make a play at crucial points of a game. To be fair, he hasn't had a ton of opportunities the way things played out this year. But he was making huge plays throughout 4th quarter and OT. Respect.
  12. Brian Robison and Rod Babers in post-game said they think it was a pre-determined throw to Bond. For them it seemed like the only explanation that made sense. If so, I would put some of the blame on Sark for the play call as he knows how Quinn operates.
  13. Agreed! Combine that punt block penalty with the 2 play scoring drive and Bolden punt PR TD, and it created a situation where the offense couldn't get in rhythm early and it affected us for the rest of the 1st half. Our defense held up for a long time with ASU owning TOP, but it eventually caught up with us in the 4th quarter. It's always weird to say it, but I've watched enough football to notice. Sometimes an early defensive or special teams TD can end up being detrimental. The opponent gets the ball back quickly and has a chance to figure things out while your offense continues to sit and defense goes right back out there.
  14. Yes, it was play action and Quinn had quick feet/movement in the pocket to step up and in to that throw. His footwork is usually so terrible that it becomes very noticeable when it's good.
  15. Situationally, there's just no need to scheme a punt block after the first drive of the game. Particularly as the heavily favored team. We got the desired 3 and out, let's receive the ball and get the offense going. The downside ended up extending the drive, and set an early precedent for the TOP differential. The reward wasn't worth the risk that early in the game IMO. Save that shit for a more crucial part of a game.
  16. Soooo, did this hysteria just naturally die down? Or was there some explanation?
  17. Basically all of YouTube is clickbait headlines. It's annoying, I agree. That's why I mentioned it first, and to watch the content for fair criticism. Guess it didn't work, lol.
  18. I already called out the trollish headline. It's a Longhorn media guy who did weekly interviews with Ethan Burke during the season. The content is fair criticism.
  19. Typical clickbaity headline, but good summary of Sark's struggles in the ASU game. Also agree with Gerry Hamilton who hated the punt block call after ASU went three and out on first drive of game. Defense got a 3 and out, just get the fucking ball back on offense. Instead ASU extends the drive and gets their only points of the 1st half.
  20. Ridiculous that anyone focuses on that safety regarding Quinn. Fucked play, glad he was able to recover it.
  21. I'm hopeful that Sark will actually take some chances and be aggressive offensively in this game. He has been leaning hard on the defense all year. Can't do that vs. OSU. I think the Texas D was still solid vs. Clemson and ASU, but when you face good teams with momentum it's hard to keep them down. Buckeyes are firing on all cylinders comparatively. Ride the momentum from Quinn's OT performance and keep the foot off the brakes.
