    yeah i hated his schedules. barnes schedules were brutal, and then shaka schedules weren’t as tough, but we still usually had a couple of marquee opponents and way fewer of these games vs teams ranked in the 350s. then beard came and started scheduling five of these teams every november and that’s basically all we’ve done since then. i was willing to put up with it considering that his formula had led to so much tourney success, but after so many years of this scheduling i’m beyond over it. get the team some experience and give the fans something worth watching.

    he’s legitimately an autocrat. after spending half the year calling quinn ewers a pussy in that traditional immamac “i’m a grown man who proudly behaves like a 12 year old boy whose single mom did a shitty job raising him” style, he’s now Team Quinn so he came into the quinn ewers thread yesterday and threatened to ban people for “shitting on quinn”. he claimed that people were constantly just shitting on quinn for no reason and that it was driving people away from the thread. when people quoted immamac to ask him to cite the type of posts he’s referring to and/or point out that his entire premise was flat out BS he deleted their posts. “i’m coming in here and i’m instituting an extremely vague but ban worthy new rule, and im going to literally silence anyone who questions me.” yeah he’s totally not a facist. 🙄 i’ll be surprised if he doesn’t delete this post before anyone else sees it.

    this is a post about what our team needs to do to win games, not about quinn ewers or his impact on winning. the fact that you’re in here with less than a handful of games left in QE’s career rationalizing his subpar play by positing that we only need to score 18 to win games speaks volumes, and not in no nice way. if we had a real playmaker at qb this would be an undefeated, national title winning team.

    i cannot imagine that any modern qb has won a national title with rankings like this.

    he’s going to finish with 900+ wins and barring any health setbacks he’s got a legit shot at 1,000. he’s a half of game, legendary coach. i sincerely hope he wins a title before he retires. he deserves it.

    currently watching duke and kansas as Texas awaits its super important matchup against delaware state. the average kenpom ranking of our ooc opponents to this point is 243. 243!!! the varsity doesn’t get better by playing against the JV; 6A teams don’t get prepared for the playoffs by playing against jim ned and idalou; and our players and team aren’t getting prepared for tourney success by playing against the sisters of the poor. the majority of this board (and college hoops fans in general) has made it clear that all they care about is tourney results. with that being the case i’m surprised that there isn’t any outrage about our pussy ass ooc schedule. the games are boring and the team doesn’t face adversity. i’m very much against this practice.

    Something that gets talked about a decent amount around here is the fact that playing (and beating the shit out of) a bunch of cupcakes will be good for our net rating. for me, i’d rather play a brutal ooc schedule and actually give my team a bunch of experience against sweet 16 caliber teams. i could not give fewer shits about NET rating if it means scheduling the entire SWAC in ooc. NET doesn’t help you win in march, being battle tested does. as i watch all of these great matchups here during thanksgiving week i am reminded of how much i megaloathe scheduling cupcakes and the fact that it really doesn’t help our team get any better or more prepared for the tourney. scheduling top tier opponents is best for the team and best for the fans. i hate our schedule. bah humbug.

    i’ve got muscle spasms in my lower back so i’m all drugged up and can’t really move. i dropped my phone between the couch cushions during the 1H and just now got it back, lol. so for all the posting i missed during that badass 1H, let me just say, “Come On You Gunners (and avoid operating heavy machinery when taking gabapentin and baclofen)!!!” 🔴⚪️🤤

    jokic really slacking on ppg and ast. fool needs to get his ass in gear. those numbers are embarrassing.

    i am not responding to that post. the original post was made; someone then said that actually watching the games makes those stats look less impressive; another poster then claimed that wasn’t true. i responded to that poster and his claim, and my take on QE’s passing yards and how impressive or unimpressive they are is explicitly stated in the post you just quoted. in other words, what im saying is what i said.

    of curse it does. first off, 984 passing yards in four games is not something to crow about. it’s not 1963. second, when 600 of those yards come after the catch on throws that are at/around the LOS, it absolutely puts a new perspective on what was already a not-particularly-impressive amount of passing yards for a four game stretch, particularly when sark is your coach and you’re surrounded by elite pass catching talent. the context behind the the numbers always matters. “numbers don’t lie” is the biggest lie in sports.
