  1. The myth of what happened to Wally Pipp has become reality. It’s a pretty clear reference now. Or Drew Bledsoe’ed if you like.
  2. If Ewers gets Pipp’ed it will take both the combination of his strain being more than minor and Arch developing on a faster learning curve than Ewers. It’s possible that in 4-5 weeks Arch is noticeably better and it’s also possible he needs more time. Either way, the waters are definitely muddy at that point.
  3. Very pedantic. You only earn that description when you get injured a lot. He’s been injured multiple ways now and it’s very reasonable to say the guy is injury prone. He’s had bad luck (Anderson landing on him), poor decisions (going head first in the Houston game) and strains and pulls associated with a body that’s prone to injury. Ewers is injury prone.
  4. Simmons was held on a play last night by the right tackle who literally reached out and grabbed his collar as he went by right in front of the official. It allowed the QB to get outside of the picket. Just brutal.
  5. Look, I get what you are saying but if you get injured ever year you play football including now a freak injury you are certainly injury prone. Bad luck can be part of that equation but the reality is Ewers gets hurt a lot. At least now we have a legit backup QB to get us through unlike last year when we were holding on for dear life when Murphy stepped in.
  6. Napier is about to get fired. Who do we target on their roster? Eugene Wilson to put with Wingo and Cook next year?
  7. Arch is still pretty green in feeling pressure and recognizing blitzes. That will just take time. He is still best utilized making a quick read or throwing on the move. It will come for him in time. Ewers is locked in and playing like a three year veteran and he gives us our best chance to win today. Arch being forced to start past the Miss St game is not a good thing for Texas.
  8. The guy who cannot stay healthy gets a freak injury handing the ball off. It’s a good thing we have Arch.
  9. The Florida State football program is about to implode.
  10. Perhaps you haven’t seen the first two games of the season.
  11. People needed to tap the breaks on predicting a guy will go early to the NFL before he won the starting job at his position. Gerry Hamilton tried to push that narrative in the offseason and he was getting carried away. And as much as like Cam Williams, there are some pretty big holes in his game right now. What do people think his draft grade would be right now after what, 3-4 starts?
  12. Jesus Christ Thompson. That should not have been a touchdown.
  13. Yikes. Between Brooks and Thompson we seriously upgraded the secondary.
  14. McGuire doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt in terms of making good coaching decisions. He’s a fucking Neanderthal that is only good at talking himself up to donors and the press. If Hudson transfers because he couldn’t figure out how to utilize him, that’s just another data point for the man’s incompetence.
  15. This morning I saw a very positive data point in favor of Baker. On a third down play deep in Texas territory, Michigan brings in Orji for QB power run. Texas plays it straight up, Michigan’s G-C-G block down on Broughton and Collins. Both completely whip the three interior lineman and both make the tackle on Orji behind the line. Camera goes to a close up on Sark who yells “Fuck yes!”. It would not have been played better if Murphy and Sweat were on the field. Baker has Broughton playing like a legit, all conference caliber player right now. And it wasn’t obvious that Broughton was going to be that good this year. Big time data point on player development for Baker.
  16. I rewatched the game, sober this time and this had to have been Hayden Connor and Jake Major’s best games as Longhorns. The two best interior linemen in college football got their butts kicked yesterday by our interior line. It was glorious to watch.
  17. Texas Tech lost (predictably) to Washington State and is hardly utilizing Micah Hudson. It would be awful for them if he ended up in the portal and went to a school that schemes open fast receivers.
  18. I guess it’s good then that Hutson is the second team right guard.
  19. We score one more time this game is over. Just drive it down here and at least get a field goal and it’s over.
  20. If they are going to pass every down maybe we should rush the QB. I understand they were drilled gap integrity to stop the run but the game has changed.
  21. We are butt fucking Michigan in the trenches. This is glorious.
  22. Because he is a mother fucking bad ass. That’s why.
  23. Broughton and Collins just wrecked the Michigan line on that third down. That’s a good sign. We are going to win this game.
  24. Some things never change. The man must have failed geometry in high school.
