  1. Smart to run them during Big 10 games, though.
  2. Nailed it. Ballgame.
  3. 7 minutes left in the 1st q, 0-0. SMU ball. If you don't realize this game is over, you're not paying attention.
  4. Nailed it! LOL, I fucking love in-game threads.
  5. Allar must be wearing a heavy duty diaper. Don't see the shit stains yet.
  6. This game is over. I don't know who wins, but it's over.
  7. Totally agree. Cinderella seasons should be rewarded. Isn't that a significant reason for expanding the playoffs?
  8. A successful Cignetti is good for CFB. I don't understand the hate. He doesn't spit out boring coach speak and it's fun to have some personality in the game.
  9. I love that you're posting these stats as an argument against him, LOL! He had 3 touchdowns of 67 yard, 51 yards, and 75 yards in the span of 15 game time minutes in his first meaningful appearance at QB. The other guy has two 50+ yard plays for the entire season. He was the best player on the field that day for us vs. Miss State. In his 2nd start ever. Geez, I wonder why people would be excited about that? And that he's only going to get better?
  10. Quinn's lasting legacy at Texas really rests on what happens starting tomorrow and his destination after the season is over. We lose tomorrow, it won't be a fun narrative. We make a deep run in the playoff, it will be what people remember. His story is not fully written yet, and the big Act III dramatic finish is almost upon us. I also think his legacy will be determined by if he goes to the NFL or if he transfers somewhere else for one more year. I fully expect him to declare for the draft. That means his whole on the field career was as a Longhorn. That matters. For some reason if he decides play CFB one more year at another school, that will leave a sour taste in people's mouths, even decades from now. A very happy ending is still on the table. Let's go.
  11. VY really opens up in this interview. Must watch.
  12. Nothing earth shattering but a new interview with Quinn.
  13. The Texas insiders all say Quinn is going to the NFL. He walked on Senior Day. If that decision truly has been made, why is Quinn's team not leaking it to the media? It's a total distraction at this point. Sark is getting more pissed as they keep asking him about QE's future. The only thing that makes sense to me is his agent is actually leaving the door open for another program to throw him a massive $$$ offer. This drama isn't helpful to the team at all, and it's just putting a bigger target and critical eye on Quinn.
  14. The Ewers talk, whether it's his struggles or his future after this year, is dominating sports media right now. Every talking head and media channel is endlessly discussing it this week. Whew. I guess this is what happens when a national brand like Texas is "back". I watched Sark's media availability today, and he got pretty pissed at a question from Anwar Richardson, which was something to the effect of "how would you describe Quinn's legacy at Texas if you win or lose the playoff, or with his possibly going to NFL...". Sark just cut him off and said "No hypotheticals." Anwar stammered some more until Sark gave him another shot to rephrase the question. LOL, it was a little awkward. Sark is clearly frustrated with all the Quinn talk. I don't blame him, not a fun narrative.
  15. I have no problem with changing QBs, I thought the in-game timing was poor. I wasn't at the stadium, but a buddy texted me that Arch was starting to warm up on the sidelines. One minute later on TV he's trotting on to the field. Did it not feel like a panic move to you at the time? One of the many lucky breaks for UGA in the second game was the timing of Beck getting hurt. Last play of the first half. That gave their backup QB and team 20 minutes to mentally prepare. I doubt Stockton looks as good or calm out there if he was forced to go straight in earlier in the game.
  16. To be fair, he benched Ewers for three straight series in the 2nd quarter of the first UGA game. Even I thought it was a panic move at the time (would have preferred letting Ewers finish the 1st half and make QB decision at halftime), but he opened the door himself to all this bullshit. Sark did something out of character, which invites people to think he might do it again.
  17. Stopped reading right at this line: Expecting Manning to jump in and execute the offense seamlessly, in the College Football Playoff, is laughable. No one is expecting that. In fact, acknowledging that the offense is imperfect is why one would've liked to see more of Arch. The fact that the offense has to be executed "seamlessly" to score points in the problem.
  18. Agreed, our HC deserves a lot of the criticism here. It's interesting that when we initially hired Sark, even a doubter was thinking "well, our offense should be awesome'. Four years later, he is maybe the best off the field HC in the country. Program building, coaching staff hires, strength and conditioning, recruiting, player development, portal....chef's kiss. He's been phenomenal. I love Sark. But the one thing we expected to be dominant has been our weakness in a NC contending year. Hopefully we turn it on starting Saturday, but if our season ends with another offensive dud, I think Sark should consider restructuring some responsibilities off the field and on game day.
  19. I don't even care about limiting all turnovers with Quinn. Its the kind of INTS or almost picks that drive me crazy. If Quinn threw deep in 1-on-1 coverage and DB makes a great play and picks it off? Hat tip. Shit happens. At least it was an aggressive play on our part, and most likely the other teams doesn't have great field position after. It feels like Sark's mantra with our offense is "don't turn the ball over and we win". I prefer "go score 30+ every week and we win". I think Quinn would play better as well.
  20. My bad, I misread that part. I agree that RB room is significantly worse this year. Losing CJ was a real fucking bummer. I think Sark had big plans for him.
  21. Best OL and deepest WR room we've had under Sark. BS to say we've taken a "huge hit" in the WR room. Also, Matthew Golden has been a revelation for Texas this year. Put some fucking respect on his name. There is an argument that he's had the most consistent season by a WR in Sark's tenure so far. Your argument treats QB like it's just 1 of 11 positions on the field. It is much more than that. I think you know that, but just ignore it to carve out your position on Quinn and take it out on other players.
