  1. Fuck JerryWorld. Have no desire to willingly play in that cursed stadium.
  2. At this point, I agree. Put Arch back in the box unless there is an injury or code red situation. Doubt we need him for ASU, and assuming we win, we want fully confident Quinn for the OSU or Oregon matchup.
  3. Crazy to think Uncle Richie taught @henrygandorf and I this craps method 25 years ago, and it's still being discussed/used by Texas fans. I love it.
  4. Quinn has overall been treated very well by the coaching staff, players, and fanbase. Whatever criticism there's been over the last 3 years is practically standard protocol for any blueblood QB.
  5. I've seen low around the ankles and needing to tackle high as well. The correct answer is you have to tackle him by the dick. Gotta skattebop that thing to get him to the turf.
  6. I'm gonna continue to call bullshit on this, for Quinn's sake at least. Nothing said here outside of BO&W calling him a pussy is much different than Joel Klatt, Gerry Hamilton, Cowherd, or any CFB talking head. Maybe some people are talking shit directly to him on his social media accounts, I don't know. Even if they did, welcome to social media. Deal with it. This is nothing like Simms. This thread is the same 3-4 Quinn bootlickers and 3-4 criticizers going back and forth. There is not some "movement" to bench QE or start Arch. You're completely fabricating that drama. Lastly, you're not helping Quinn at all by spreading this shit because if it's true that "he can't wait to put Texas behind him", that will tarnish his legacy more than anything he's done on the field.
  7. Huge plays by Jaydon Blue. I've been critical of him, but he stepped up big time. Hook'em!.
  8. I refuse to believe Quinn is affected by message board chatter. I think too highly of him.
  9. @Thatguy, making an insider comment about Quinn not being happy was certainly a choice. Either you're full of shit to garner support/sympathy for him on this thread, or you made a big mistake airing a grievance. Please clarify.
  10. I'm happy about the kickoff time. I think Sark is too. He mentions quite often they prefer early games in regards to game day preparation.
  11. Even though I have some issues with Sark's playcalling this game, there were 2 plays that I liked seeing. 3rd and 13 from around our own 40, we let Quinn go deep. Don't think it was the greatest throw, but the DB was compromised and ended with Defensive PI. 2nd and 10 from our own 1 or 2 (after the 4th and goal stop), Quinn throws a nice sideline fade route to Wingo in 1-on-1 coverage. Would have been an easy pitch and catch, DB mauled Wingo for PI. Big first down there.
  12. I just re-watched all the offensive series. Quinn was solid. As said, the one INT was not his fault. The other almost INT looked like miscommunication with Wingo, not sure who fucked up there. Our passing attack was pretty much paint by numbers. Lots of first read open guys, everyone executed well. The only time things got squirrelly were due to Sark's insistence to run a lot slow developing screens. Quinn did a great job getting off a screen pass to Helm before getting BLASTED. Great presence and scramble run for a 1st down on 3rd and 3. The deep ball to Golden was probably in the air too long, but that's just the way Quinn throws them at this point. But his placement was excellent, leading Golden correctly. My favorite play by Quinn was probably on the 3rd and 9 in our own territory with 5 minutes left. He didn't feel pressure and stayed patient before finding Blue on the sideline for a crucial 1st down that basically ended the game. I give Quinn an A- for this game, which was definitely set on Easy Mode. I see no reason not to feel very confident about him having success and playing well vs. Arizona State.
  13. Welcome, again. Happy to see an opposing fan that knows how to fuck around on this board. Haven't watched much ASU this year, outside of the end of the BYU game where I wanted to strangle your HC for how he handled the end of the game, lol (I bet on ASU). Who are players on ASU Defense to look out for?
  14. Sark in his post game said he was "kicking himself" a couple of times about decisions he made in the game. Babers in post-game was talking about Sark needing to improve as a playcaller. If you don't want to get in the weeds about this stuff, fine. But let the rest of us. We are Texas fans. This is what we do. For decades.
  15. The one where Wingo broke two tackles near the LOS and made a great individual play?
  16. Nico showed some guts out there, I guess, but his skills as a passer are...lacking.
  17. It's not Quinn's fault. Sark can't stop calling that shit, even though it rarely works these days. And Quinn got hit hard later in the game on another similar sluggish play call.
  18. Take it to the fucking Cloak Room. (You too, Quinn)
  19. You know, Norton, I've been watching you. And I know you've been watching me, Norton. You watch me! I know! Norton, my friend, how would you like to fuck Clemson up the ass? I know you wanna fuck them, Norton. And you know that I know, that you know that i know, that you wanna fuck'em. Now Clemson is gonna bend over, and when they do, start fucking.
  20. I know shit worked. But their were more individual playcalls and decisions that were questionable than normal. Going to the Gibson at FB formation once too often. The terrible 1st down throwback screen playcall (that hasn't worked for a while) that ended up with Wisner/CW getting hurt. Treating Arch Manning like Alex Orgi (enough, I'd rather not see him in the game at all if that's the strategy). Not taking the FG in 2nd quarter. Etc.
  21. We expected it, but the results are questionable, honestly. And probably not the best post-game to boast about his playcalling. The reality is our offense has been the wink link for most of the season.
  22. Don't think it helped we also hurried to the line and quick snapped it. Just unnecessary to try and catch Clemson off-guard there, particularly with the backup center and resulting bad exchange.
  23. Quinn was good today. I don't really have any complaints. The Sark/Ewers dynamic is interesting. Sark seems frustrated that people are critical of Quinn and his limitations, but he runs plays like a guy who's also critical of those limitations. His insistence to run misdirection to get the first read open (or simply to have a one read play) is a dangerous game to play when the competition is legit. I think back to that awful, slow developing call in UGA territory that was basically a double fake pass that was a one read throw to Helm but he was covered. This shit is not gonna work moving forward this season. Keep Quinn's eyes and body forward, quick slants, some classic PA, and let it fly in 1-on-1 coverage.
  24. I'm very happy with the win today. We might very well win it all this year. But no matter how the season ends, there needs to be a self-audit in the offseason regarding Sark's game management. I have no idea of the inner workings on gameday - who is in the booth upstairs, who he's talking to, what responsibilities other staff members have, etc. But we are struggling with playcalling and decision making that disturbs the positive rhythm and flow of a game. Momentum is real, and Sark manages it very poorly, whether not keeping momentum or too easily giving it away. I know a lot of this is psychological and theoretical, but the issue is real.
