  1. Seems to me he's been treated well by the fanbase, all in all. Yes he got booed after a truly horrible stretch but that didn't seem all that nasty under the circumstances, and everyone was quick to encourage him soon-after. It's hard not to like the kid. I'd like to think he's is having the time of his life.
  2. Would you like to coach the University of Texas?
  3. There were plenty of us, mostly in the Quinn thread, saying Arch wasn't ready (to replace Quinn) last year and probably wouldn't be ready from the jump this year -- crazy game-hen shit like throwing into triple coverage doesn't just disappear overnight. But the "he'll have his struggles" narrative got lost in all the hype.
  4. Not by me. I never thought Arch would be ready. Strangely, as long as the O-line can improve, it's the D that might hamper us next year.
  5. True but everyone will have holes and we have as much talent in the wings as anyone. Arch should be the x factor.
  6. We'll need depth, but I feel like we'll be stacked enough other than O-line and WR (though Livingston, Mosely and (cough) Wingo are pretty stout if the youngsters come on) to actually earn a top pre-season ranking. The main point is Arch has become what we thought he'd be -- better than Quinn -- and with that kind of talent leading a roster like ours we ought to wreck shop if our coach can stop stepping on his dick.
  7. I don't see any universe where Sark leaves unless he's forced out ala Beard. Next year will be his first and maybe only chance to win it all.
  8. Not so fast, amigo. They have self-pump and full service now, somebody's always there. Works well.
  9. Well I just think that's mean.
  10. Looks we'll have to depend on over-confident Georgia now, ha.
  11. Psychologically, I think if they lost this week they'd be pissed off like somebody wrecked their trans am, whereas a shoddy win (like ours) would make them more uncertain and beatable. Of course it's debatable.
  12. We want to beat Georgia and them losing today (not happening obviously) would make that more difficult IMO. Defeating an undefeated A&M would be worth it to me, though backing into the SEC championship at 9-3 would give us another shot at the playoffs and a game or two to watch. Still we'd have to catch fire to feel like we deserved it.
  13. That TD was too easy. I want Georgia to win ugly and nervously so they'll be insecure next week instead of pissed off.
  14. If they finish 4-0 I Sark should lose whatever hand he jerks off with.
  15. Sounds like you've only been to Newark and Trenton.
  16. I hope Nickelson has a good sense of humor because he's become the poster boy for oafish stumbling-bear incompetence.
  17. If we win out, definitely. I hear you about Georgia. Why should we get in the playoffs when we'd normally be in the Holiday Bowl or wherever? But if we battle and come up just short and then wreck Arky and Aggy (still undefeated), who else on the bubble will have our chops? We'll see.
  18. Because (if we play Georgia tough and beat Arky / A&M) we're not just a weird, inconsistent team with talent, but a team with a clear trajectory, whose QB could be entering a period of greatness and and whose shitty O-line might be coming its own (I hope), giving us a cool narrative and real shot.
  19. NM / Removed for making no sense.
  20. I think his point was that they struggled, too.
  21. Normally if we lost three I'd say fuck it we don't deserve it and can't win it all anyway. Not this time.
  22. Sounds like she took you to the cleaners.
  23. They came at me, hos. Except for Tex Pete who called the guy agreeing with me a bitch. And I am a lawyer, if going to law school and passing bar count.
  24. So that wasn't about the fix? This whole thread is full of people saying the call was fishy and pondering who could be behind it. I just think he missed it, and the booth couldn't be sure in the moment, and we got screwed.
  25. I, of course, disagree, but that isn't the point I've been trying (and failing) to make, which is: if you believe this was a conspiracy against Texas, you are dumb.
