  1. Going back to the very first post in this thread, it's very easy to criticize the play call with the hindsight that they were going to blitz both inside linebackers. However, an experienced QB should have read the blitz and checked into a different play, or he should have gotten rid of the ball and not taken a sack if the blitz was sufficiently disguised before the snap. Frankly, it was pretty ballsy of them to blitz both LBs on a first down play. Were we showing tendencies? Quinn has the athletic skills, but he has not developed his game management skills given his experience. Is that due to coaching or are his game management skills inherently subpar? Fans always want to criticize play calling because it's easy to do. However, there are far more moving parts that fans don't see. Any criticism of Sark should relate to QB development, or perhaps sacrificing the good of the team for a player's NFL chances (like Calapari does with getting players to the NBA).
  2. Stat of the game is 2.5 yards per rush. That's on the OL. That has to improve or it will be one more game and done.
  3. Averaging 2.2 yards per carry. Yep, all Quinn's fault.
  4. Turn on the TV and the first thing I see is Coach Beamer complaining about a blown call by the Big XII crew led by Kevin Mar.
  5. You know the officiating is bad when a neutral field bowl game posts a graphic like this one after (another) bad call against one of the teams.
  6. If you are lucky the UK game will be at night and you can go to Keeneland in the afternoon. Until TV became ubiquitous, UK only played night games in October which is one of two months when Keeneland runs. Then again, you can go on Friday in any event. It does not run on Sunday. If you can get clubhouse passes, which is extremely difficult, it's worth whatever you pay.
  7. Signed up just to post in this thread. My older son and I are Georgia Tech grads (we "got out"). My younger son is Texas Ex (CS). I fell in love with UT while he was there. My two favorite teams are the Horns and the Jackets. Both great academic schools with great traditions. I've had two consecutive games of this SEC officiating bullshit with georgia. The officials pulled georgia back into the GT game in the second half. On a fourth down play in the end zone, they called a bullshit PI. The announcers said the ball "appeared to be tipped." Reviewed? Nope. If it was tipped, no PI. Then on a GT fumble, you see a georgia player come in with his head down, and the King's (QB) head snap sideways. The comment was that the georgia player's helmet hit the ball. That caused King's head to go sideways? Was it reviewed? Nope. Either one of those is called, and georgia loses. There is more--just like last night. I confess that I turned off the TV after the twin PI (as someone on this board called it) followed by the roughing the passer call to cover up the intentional grounding. I knew right then there was no way ABC/SEC were going to let UT win. Yes, I screamed at the TV before I turned it off. There was no way ABC/SEC were going to let an unranked team beat an SEC team that had qualified for the Championship game--and would have 3 losses. There was no way ABC/SEC were going to let a conference newcomer beat georgia--that would have suggested that the SEC was somehow weak. Then we have SMU and Clemson. Clemson had zero penalties. Same thing--would ABC/ACC allow a newcomer to further show ACC weakness? ABC/ESPN have huge investments in these conferences to protect. Just business I guess, but a sport without correctly enforced rules is not a sport. Hook 'em
