I appreciate and agree with the grace you are showing here. The dude needs to stay in the race and let the chips fall where they may.
But this also needs to be a lesson for the left. That grace needs to be extended to other Dem candidates that don't fit into their tight window of beliefs. People make mistakes. It is a good think to adapt and change opinions as you get older and wiser. Very few people are on the "right" side of things their entire life. Stop making that a prerequisite.
I haven't followed this Platner tattoo controversy closely. My initial reaction is that it shouldn't automatically be disqualifying, but sure doesn't help how aggressive he's been with (fairly) criticizing the Democratic establishment. Like, not having a fucking SS tattoo (or at least removing it) sure fucking helps when trying to break through as a modern progressive. Fucking idiot.
I am all for very progressive candidates. But all these leftists defending him have killed other decent Democratic candidates for way less questionable backgrounds. Flip flopping on the purity tests is bullshit and annoying.
Here's the play and reaction with Wingo running off to the bench. Again, I understand the frustration. But it's the 1st quarter. It's concerning.

His body language is terrible out there. On the wide open crosser that Arch missed in the 1st quarter, Wingo kept going straight to the sidelines and sat down on the bench by himself, never breaking stride.
Like, I know it's frustrating. But there's just so much bad mojo.
This is a dogshit fastball at Wingo’s feet: Arch is 100% to blame for this incompletion. The ball is the speck on the 35 yard line, right before it hits the turf.
My sincere question; Is it too much to ask Wingo to get down and at least attempt to catch it? It was high velocity, would need to be a quick reaction.
I watched our offensive possessions vs. Kentucky for a 3rd time, because I'm a masochist. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. It's gets so much worse with repeated viewings. Just a bunch of bumbling chucklefucks out there on the field. Everything is disconnected. And UK owning the TOP made everything worse. There is zero rhythm on offense.
Situationally, the worse Arch miss was to Endries. FUCK. Godfuckingdamnit. That would have basically ended the game IMO.

We have taken a major step back at LT, LG, C, and RT this year. The OL is the foundation, and our foundation is broken.
Yes, in year 3 of Quinn Ewers starting at Texas I criticized him. The only reason I'd question myself about it now is because you and I were somehow in agreement.
No. The layups aren't plentiful but you have to make the easy throws when there. And defenses will keep teeing off until you actually burn them. It's infuriating.
He got destroyed vs. Kentucky. Big hits all over the place, including his last run of the game. Not many QBs out there that can finish a game with that type of beating.
I mean, look at this shit.
I understand the pessimism, but that Kentucky game plan and performance, particularly after the OU win, was so unacceptable that you can't find a way to excuse it. I wouldn't be surprised if CDC voiced some concern to Sark. His job is safe right now, but that was a major red flag you can't shrug off.
The Mississippi State game is gonna tell us a lot.
