  1. nothing like a good old fashioned Texan vs British, “no, allow me to pay!” standoff:
  2. vince young maxed out at around 74 yards, but sure, 14 year old quinn was throwing 80+. anybody who believes that has probably sent money to multiple nigerian princes.
  3. curry is done for this series if jot the season, this is a hamstring we’re talking about. they take forever to heal and are really easy to reinjure, especially if you happen to sprint for a living as steph curry does. his season, and the dubs season, are likely done.
  4. espn’s basketball coverage encapsulated:
  5. this idea that i have multiple screen names is hilarious. which other poster here is supposedly me using a different handle?
  6. i literally have no idea what you’re talking about. the idea that i was ever *not* claiming that QE was the reason we didn’t win two titles is just insane. like, coo coo for cocoa puffs nuts. as for this idea that i have multiple screen names, yeah, again, i literally have no clue what you’re talking about. of course neither do you, so that’s a big part of the problem.
  7. something like 80-85% of QE’s yards that day were YAC yards. his average depth of target that day was very very low for someone with 330 statistical passing yards.
  8. you quoted a post where i said that arch will be clearly, vastly superior to QE, and you see that as “making excuses”? lol, ok.
  9. like, a million times. i have no idea what thread some of these people are reading.
  10. our team next year will be inferior to the previous two teams, but the qb play will be markedly, astoundingly better. thankfully we have another easy schedule, so we should still win a lot of games and should hopefully make the playoffs. regardless, the level of qb play will be night and day.
  11. number of times i’ve seen “quinn led texas to back to back playoffs” or “quinn turned around the program and brought us back to the top”, either here, twitter, reddit, whatever: incalculable number of times i’ve seen any other individual player, unit, or coach given that same praise: 0 which is crazy, considering that if any one person brought us back it was sark, and that QE is actually the least deserving member of the program to be singled out for such praise. beyond that, when jahdae barron, kelvin banks, and matthew golden declared for the draft there was minimal feed back or attention given to it from Longhorn Nation. and yet when quinn, the guy who showed up to campus unkempt and overweight, who had to transform himself over the folllowing summer to get in shape, only to still end up as our team’s weak link, declared for the draft, all of those same social media sites, including this one, experienced an outright deluge of, “thank you quinn- seriously, from the bottom of my heart- thank you, for everything. i’ll never forget you and what you did for this program. Longhorn Legend. 🙏🏼”. that’s that cult like worship shit i’ve been talking about. a bunch of grown men going online and effusively praising our borderline worst player like he’s some religious leader who saved them from eternal damnation, when in reality he was the no.1 reason that his absolutely loaded teams didn’t even make it to the title game, forget winning it once or twice. i seriously, seriously doubt i will ever see such fawning and heartfelt praise for a more milquetoast, mediocre player in my entire life. the praise this guy has been given has been beyond undeserved- it’s been downright creepy.
  12. we’re talking about *the main* reason texas didn’t reach its potential, so yeah, it comes down to one person/unit. quinn ewers underperformed and failed to pull his weight more than any other player or unit, period.
  13. ahh yes, the miss state game, the one where arch got to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was bigger, faster, stronger, more accurate, smarter, more mobile, stronger arm, better when the play breaks down, etc, than quinn ewers. also, total td throws, along with every other stat i’ve seen that’s supposedly in quinn’s favor (like his career passing yards, or the fact that he was 2nd team all sec or whatever) are all old school, antiquated, outdated stats and accolades that aren’t nearly as relevant in 2025 as they were 20+ years ago. we have advanced analytics now, which is why we can look back and say, “yeah, derek jeter won five gold gloves, but he objectively was not a good defensive ss.” that’s what we have here. on the surface you can say, “he was second in td passes and selected to the all-sec team!” and make it seem like he was good, but the moment you look a little closer it becomes obvious that that’s not the case. being second in the league in td passes is ostensibly nice, but a)17 is actually a pretty goddamn pedestrian number considering the talent around him + our easy schedule, and b)you don’t have to look very deep into the advanced analytics- the exact data that nfl teams use to scout and draft players- to see that quinn was a bottom-tier sec qb, and nowhere near even the middle of the pack nationally. what’s crazy is that all of this aligns with the eyeball test, and yet here we are, still debating his supposed greatness.
  14. that’s true, however our team results have been *much* better with kai starting at striker this yea as opposed to when he doesn’t play. his iq and versatility help those around him have an easier time.
  15. then you need to see a doctor about your memory loss. i have absolutely no idea what any of this means.
  16. you are by far the most hostile and combative poster in this thread, and yet all you do is whine about other people. aren’t you like 60? go for a walk or something, jesus.
