After Colorado, I knew at most schools, Thompson would be the guy going into the following season. But WE ARE TEXAS, and here lately the Westlake - LT Mafia has way too much sway, so a fucking controversy was manufactured and it cost us a game. To Sark's credit, he manned up to the boosters and IT and told them to fuck off and put the guy back out there. The guy is playing like the guy we saw in the CU game and the sky is still the limit on this season thanks to the playoff.
The line didn't improve all of a sudden. Neither did the receivers. Thompson just elevates them all that much by what he brings to the table; Card, right now, drags them all down.
There are times I hate this program despite my family's 130-year-old association with the 40. The anointing of Hudson Card was one of them. Now we are moving away from that mistake, all gas and no brakes. I kind of doubt Terrapin Tom would have had the balls to do this.
