Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Yikes. I'd blocked that out of my mind. It does indicate, again, that Sark does set up plays that would work very well with just a competent QB. Caldwell hits that pass.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
I'm easier on Arch this week than two weeks ago. I got the feeling that the goal for this game was that he throw at the moment he should. Period. Early, to my uneducated eyes, he was doing just that. Even if he missed on the throw, he was meeting the goal of timing. My guess is that the belief, if I'm anywhere near correct, is that his accuracy will come after mastering speed of release. Of course, that disintegrated with deplorable play of the OL. It's hard not to revert back to bad habits under such duress. [ETA: Ugh. I just watched the video above. I'm easier on Arch but still think Caldwell should get a chance. Otherwise, we're struggling for bowl eligibility.] The 3rd and 3 first possession. I think we'd already got one first down. Let's chop 'em up with a soul-killing dominant drive. Nope: Sark goes cutesy with double reverse pitch-back that we've shown before and which fails. Why not take the small victory of a first down? This is akin to going for it on fourth instead of kicking a field goal. (Stoops killed his win by doing that twice in a game where we only managed 10 points.) The small victory makes everybody happy on your side. They feel like they're getting things done. Hey, let's keep it up guys! Pissing that a way gives all of that to the other side. Our guys? Well, fuck. Back to the bench to cheer the defense. The game plan seemed to be just a jumble of random play calls. The announcers saying Kentucky had killed our running game prompted to me to shout, "They don't have a running game to stop. We're not really even trying to attack their line with the run. Sark needs to hire an OC. The best we can buy. Oklahoma State didn't turn it around under Gundy until he stopped calling and drawing up plays during games.

Texas vs. Kentucky - 6:00pm on ESPN
Shall we review the fourth down decisions of Coach Stoops and their impact on the game? First possession, didn't kick field goal. May have provided victory margin. OT, didn't kick field goal even though his defense was killing us. Allows shitty Texas offense to win game even though they lost yards in their possession. You never know how valuable a point or three will be later in the game. Also, I don't blame this would-be loss on Arch.

Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
Funny but poor taste. I didn't watch the video but laughed at Charlie Squirt. Wit goes a long way in balancing out poor taste. Plus, I hate political correctness and the wokies harshing just a little plain fun.

Certainly under the old paradigm. As a reflex, I condemned the murder. Now, upon reflection? People are actively, knowingly working to destroy the republic that I was born in. They promote violent prejudice against decent persons of color both citizens and non-citizens. They characterize persons who vote as I have as radical, dangerous, and violent. They are responsible for stochastic terrorism in my country. They've chosen the vilest man they could find to be their face and define them. The new paradigm, IMHO, is open war. They've declared a large portion of their fellow citizens to be the enemy. How can I view them in any other way? Violent destroyers of nations should expect the same in return. Fuck this guy. Fuck all of them. Fuck peace.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
The very few articles I've seen don't include Elko on their lists of top candidates for any job. Are we the only ones talking about this or am I simply in the dark. I honestly don't know. Where have you gone, Gary Kubiak? Ag nation turns it's lonely eyes to you. Whoop Whoop Whoop whoop whoop whoop That, too.

They have been convinced by mysogynist men in church that slavery to husband and men is His will. Of course, you don't see Jesus saying this shit. They like the old covenant. It's easier to bend to the will of the wicked. Um, this has been the GOP way since Reagan. Trump just hijacked them and advanced their plans. They'll carry on just fine. Magas just need hate.

Don't forget the year before that when we beat Alabama soundly in Tuscaloosa was not the same Alabama that was so good later. Now it's we beat a really good ND! They're playing with confidence. If the players soak up all the hysteria of the fans, they a short step away from overconfidence. They're about to earn their money, so they better be ready. It's no more, we beat a shitty team worse than tu or OU. They have to win road games that will be tough environments with a couple of good teams in there before they come play Texas.

I'm sure the state will raise taxes to cover the shortfall. That's the essential second step in returning responsibilities to the states, ain't it?

Oh what the hell. I'm surprisingly drunk at 5:52 PM CDT. Might as well have five posts in a row. [Well @Satchel fucked that up for me. JIHAD!] Every time I see the title of this thread at the top of the page it somehow jolts me like it's news. They got ol' Charlie again! Good. If the GOP criminal organization didn't kill him, they are sure reaping benefits as though they did. Antifa goons* are attacking our goons heroes!** *Make believe for the chickenshit, shivering-in-their-boots morons/racists/degenerates/fascists/all of the above to buy some more assault rifles to protect their homes and cheer when ICE rounds up citizens of color for Alligator Alcatraz prior to shipping to the El Salvadorpelago. **Goons is too nice of a word. So is thugs. I'll go with Nazis, today. They're Nazis. You know it. I know it. The American people embrace it. Okay, I'm self-banning. I'm savoring dark thoughts of bloody scenes with too much joy. When I sober up, I'm still a tame bystander to war nobody wants to leap into. Our exit won't be so astonishing, but at least we leave things like this behind. This is more like it:

I laughed out loud. That's a pretty low priority "cause for concern" in 2025. I get your point; the wording just leapt out at me. Congrats on your Bruins. I think of you and your dad when they have a prominent win.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
I love this shit. It's something different and specific. It's worth seeing an Aggie game to get the time capsule of football in the 1930s. There's nothing like it. I can pull for Arkansas in games because they're almost always an underdog. Not the Aggies, of course. Their strange obsession about Texas has become a jihad in my lifetime. It's genuinely nuts. They believe we are evil. Arkansas? Resentment that they're not us pure and simple and forever. They are hillbillies. It is hate for many of them. At least they don't claim any moral high ground. I respect that. I've poured a really strong coke and rum. Feels great, but it's kind of early.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Yep. I thought the tape was proving how very good of a runner he is. He has a quick ability at the moment of contact to slip between two tacklers and get a yard or two more falling forward. Cedric Benson was valuable in that way.

We looked weak going into that game after the Florida debacle. Beating us would have made their season. Mateer looked ready to go to me. I'd play because the game is so important to them and they're falling behind us.
