The SEC is probably the toughest conference in the nation. We're likely going to finish well below .500 in the SEC, especially if we can't win on our home floor. Tre Johnson is the only reason I'll tune in to watch Texas basketball this season.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Irish Wrist Watch replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
We already heard from a credible source (A Surly Poster) that Arch is kicking ass in practice. So if Sark thinks averaging 7 pts per second half over an eight game stretch is the best we can do, then perhaps I do know more than him. Or maybe he's so busy with all the other peripheral hc duties that he doesn't even know about that statistic. In which case, I guess I and every other person on this board knows more than Sark. Maybe... he can't see the forest for the trees. Maybe Sark is so bogged down in some statistical gobbledegook that he hasn't yet figured out why we can't score... How about 2 for 10 Sark? New stat for you, courtesy of Surly Horns, your new go to site when things aren't going in accordance with your readouts. Two for fucking ten. Sark needs to get a new barometer for checking QB health. I just listed two new ones for him. I'm glad Ewers is brilliant between the twenties, but Sark just passed up a golden opportunity to make a smooth transition to a new star QB. Last night coulda been Fifty/fifty. May the best man win. Worst case scenario: we lose to GA - last night. Best case scenario, we win the SEC... and a Natty. He has the same opportunity coming up on Dec 21st. Let's hope he's pulled his head out of his ass by then and figured out how to run up 45 against Clemson. Wait, wait... it's coming to me... Let's stop running completely, giving Ewers even more shots inside the twenty. Who knows, he might kick that completion percentage up to 25 or even 30%.. We're in Orc territory now. Meri and Pippin need to sit the fuck down. -
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

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Hank Kingsley replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
We're just talking in circles, man. If the goal was to establish a running game from the start, who knows what would have happened. Maybe we go 3 and out. Maybe Wisner fumbles. Maybe he breaks one and gives the o-line some early confidence. In the end, it doesn't matter now. We decided to put the game in Quinn's hands. I think he flashed enough to give us a chance to win in the end. Didn't happen. We move on. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Aslan24 replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
I think Quinn is a good QB and I think he really did enough to win the game yesterday. He had two picks, but he also accounted for the second most passing yards allowed by the Georgia defense all season. And if we don’t have a false start on a field goal, there’s a chance the game never goes to overtime and we walk out with a win. However, I think the biggest knock against Quinn is that in his 3 years here I think you can only count maybe 1 game where he made the throw that won you the game. And that was against a pretty mid TCU team last year. The other chances he’s had to engineer a legacy defining drive, he’s come up short. I think there is a realistic chance that Texas wins a championship this year, but only if Quinn doesn’t have to go on a game winning drive to do so. Otherwise, I fear we’re out of luck. I want to give him grace and I want him to prove me wrong because I want every Longhorn to succeed at the highest level. But right now the gameplan has to be build a lead and then hold on for dear life in the second half. -
Wrt our players experience, I would think a substantial % of our players have experience playing in Jerryworld in high school playoff games. A plus because of the distraction of the huge screen. I don't think our team has played there, no? Other than that the major plus is our guys have experience playing in Dallas, which means the routine could be basically the same as playing OU...same bus trip, etc. Here is hoping if we get to the Arlington game the organizers allow us to stay in Austin and have a week of practice, instead of spending a week in Arlington. What are you gonna do in Arlington? Go to Six Flags in January? nope. Maybe compromise and arrive in Arlington one extra night to make appearances. This is a job, not playtime. If I were a betting man and/or speculator, I would try to get tickets to the Jerryworld game. Other random thoughts; I don't think the GA backup QB who beat us has ever been hit as hard as he was yesterday at the end. Timing is everything. Hit him that hard early 3rd quarter and it's a totally different game. I can bet he will be slightly hesitant running the middle of the field his next game. More importantly we are still going to need Arch. I can feel it, not quite as strong as 2009 season when Colt went down against Alabama, but I can feel it. That year I absolutely knew we were going to need GG. Mack earned all of the hate that year for refusing to play GG in competitive situations when he had the chance. This is almost like a small second season, kind of reminds me of the NFL back in the day when the Cowboys needed a 2nd stringer QB to win some playoff games and more like the NY Giants when Rutledge came in for the injured Phil Simms and won the Super Bowl.

We didn’t win the sec in our first year. The zebras didn’t want us to. Burt Auburn didn’t want us to. We had about 10 things go against us- any of which went down differently, and we’d have hoisted the trophy. We didn’t do that (or have the ball bounce our way, or the whistles in some situations) but we got rewarded for a a good season with the coveted 5 seed. clemson at home, Arizona state in Atlanta and then Oregon, TN or Ohio State in Dallas for the shot to play for it all in the first time under this 12 team format. Texas is as good as anyone in college football this year. Our floor is really high because the defense is pretty great. I think our ceiling is high enough to win it all against who we are looking at playing. Lets freaking do this boys.

Here's the deal. Folks fucking hate Texas. And when you go to your kids sports games there are officials from the time they are 8 years old onward refereeing games. You know who are not a big part of that referee pool? Longhorns. Hardly any, from my life experience. And they tend to often have a negative view of Texas (envy, hatred, desire to harm) and it bleeds into their view of the game. Did we get fucked on calls for the most part? Absofuckinglutely! But that's the norm, not the exception. We will always have more questionable calls go against us, than for us. AND THAT IS NEVER GOING TO FUCKING CHANGE! And for Texas to win championships we have to not only win on the field but overcome, the shit calls we KNOW are gonna come our way. Again, and again, and again. But you have to overcome! To win at Texas you can't shoot your own self in the foot. Too many convict dressed folks already doing that. You just have to bear down, and overcome. No other choice.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Dahobbs replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Putting the loss on Quinn is crazy. Quinn was the best part of our offense. Yes, he isn't a fiery leader that is going to elevate the team. He is a game manager at this point and we just need to accept that. But he played well enough to win. The line got dominated in the run game and our receivers ain't ones come up with tough contested catches. This offense needs a j whitt and it needs a Roschon. We need leaders on O other than QB. Bitch about those OT passes if you want, but those are makeable plays. Moore had a ton of space to the sidelines where Quinn threw but kept his route more vertical. Wingo needs to learn to use his body to make tough catches. It sucks that we don't have personnel to deal with defenses with elite speed in the redzone, but we just don't. Yes, Arch is almost certainly a better option in the RedZone if we play Georgia again or if we end up facing an Ohio State. But I don't think any other teams in the playoffs match up as well with us. -
You are right. The refs didn’t make the stupid coaching decisions. Like I said, refs can make it much much tougher to win (not impossible) and we have to play/coach flawlessly to pull it off when they put their thimb in the scale like they did in the first half. It is real simple. This is a multibillion dollar industry run by millionaires/billionaires where decisions are made to maximize profits, like every other industry. Even just a few percentage point advantage for a certain outcome makes a big difference (see Vegas). SEC wanted maximum of their teams in the playoffs and they were going to help that happen. Have seen the same shit with other teams (GA-GA Tech and VT-Miami) in different conferences all year. Until we get the ref crews to be independent, truly uninterested in the outcome and not run by conferences this will keep happening. Maybe now that SEC got what it wanted, we don’t have to have this as a factor till next year.

Honestly idk why this thread keeps going, but here I am contributing. Quinn is not getting pulled we know this. Unless he plays UGA 1st game bad. But he’s been playing mediocre. Not enough to pull him. Sark does not have the balls to do this. We know this. If he did arch would have more packages. Granted arch has only been in this package a little but it’s all runs. Sark acts like he isn’t an elite passer. Yes I know it’s probably coming. But keep him in longer. We can argue that Arch gives us the best chance to win like it’s actually going to change the outcome but it’s not. This page has 1-4 more games and it’s over with. Thank God. It’s Quinn till the end. Unfortunately. -
Bill Maher has become the whiny little bitch he complains about
hpslugga replied to Satchel's topic in Cloak Room
It has nothing to do with left/right. The backlash was against incumbents regardless of real/imagined political ideology. You’re just buying into a superficial mainstream media bullshit story, a la Bari Weiss. This kind of bullshit is peddled because the far right is desperate and if they can find anything they can cling to, they will run with it forever. You know better than that. Buttigieg remarked about this kind of phenomenon in the 2020 primary debates when one of the candidates raised concerns that the R’s will call this or that policy “socialist,” and then Pete responded “they’re gonna call us socialists no matter what we say or do.” That’s just who Republicans are in their own mind: 24-hour victims. Yeah, they’re victims alright. They’re victims of not having the slightest fucking clue how, among a plethora of things, to describe a political spectrum, let alone how to plot anyone on it. They’ve certainly failed to address many issues. This just isn’t one of them. It’s an issue that comes from the place where this kid is sitting: Look at turnouts and you’ll notice that roughly 2/3rds of registered voters actually do vote. But look at public attitudes on policies and you will notice that the population is well to the left of the two political parties. The problem for the Democratic Party is that they’re too big of a tent, and one of the groups they’ve allowed in is huge money interests. That dominates their policy pursuits more than anything else, and their interests naturally lean to the right. That’s also what turns off a huge chunk of the segment of the population that’s registered to vote but chooses not to do so. It has nothing to do with “wokeness” and it’s easy to see that: this “woke” stuff wasn’t even a thing 10-20 years ago and the Democrats still had the same problem of producing inadequate turnout. They’ve been constantly battling with that since the days of Reagan, but that has mostly to do with the final screws they put to the working class under Carter. No, it’s not political correctness/“wokeness” that holds back the democrats. What holds them back is either failing to address or taking positions well to the right of the population when it comes to: -The environment -Nuclear arms control -The proliferation of the military budget -Healthcare (Obamacare was the Republicans’ answer to Hillary Clinton’s ideas in the early 1990’s) -Income inequality -Taxation -Education -Labor rights -The Drug War and numerous others. They are too similar to the Republicans on those issues, and that’s why a lot of would-be voters do not like them. You know who agrees with that? Bill fucking Maher. He said many years ago on one of his New Rules segments “over the last 30-odd years, Democrats have moved to the right and the Republicans have moved into a mental hospital” in a segment where he lambasted the D’s for not including a public option in the ACA, among many other policies he was bitching about. If I had to choose one mistake they made that proved fatal for them, it’s that they tried far too hard to convince the third of registered voters, who tend to vote republican, to abandon their party and vote against Trump rather than convince the other third of the country why they should give a shit and to vote for them. In other words, they focused on the wrong third. Impossible for him to be right when he merely took the bait of the bullshit cheese in the mouse trap the mainstream media has fooled people into believing. Maher was just brain-broken by the pandemic and is still butthurt about that...and he was even a mediocre talent before that, at best. You’re confusing “right” with “says what I want to hear because it makes me feel good.” To the extent you’re referring to Kamala Harris, no you didn’t. Kamala is a center-right establishment Democrat, not a “leftist.” What sane, intelligent reason was there to vote for Trump? The mere fact that he got over 3 million votes, let alone over 30 million, is absolutely ridiculous. There’s no reasonable explanation for it, and it’s manufactured outrage when people force their blood pressure upwards when they hear people like David Pakman explain that nearly a full quarter of the adult population in this country is functionally illiterate. When we’ve gotten to the point where there’s more outrage against people pointing out that a quarter of the population suffers from functional illiteracy than there is against the mere fact of said illiteracy, we are a fucking backwards lot. No, what will cost D’s elections is refusing to address the policies I mentioned (and many I did not), which will continue to piss off the other 1/3rd that is registered to vote but doesn’t. Seriously, if you had told me back in May “slugga; I’ve been to the future and I’ll tell you that Trump is going to have 76 million votes.,” I’d have said “then he’s gonna lose again…unless for some reason the D’s don’t turn people out.” When you say “they’ll continue to lose,” you make it sound as if the democrats are on some sort of skid. Them losing this year was a shock, but it wasn’t so shocking when you realize that, again, incumbent parties all over the world have been getting beat like this as a backlash regarding things related to the pandemic. The problem here is that you conflate the Democratic Party with “the left.” If the actual political left in this country had any adequate representation in the federal government, the Republicans would scarcely win any elections at all, and they certainly wouldn’t have a prayer at the White House. The only reason they would have a prayer? A huge overhaul in the party that made them revert back to who they were in the Eisenhower years. The grand fact of presidential elections in general, specifically the last 12, millions of people clearly and repeatedly vote against their own interests. If you’re unwilling to admit that they did that, you’re either a liar or beyond reason. This is abject speculation. There’s already a precedent for exactly that. Google Georgia’s HB 87 from back in 2011. It was a complete disaster. In the first year alone, they lost something like $150 million worth of produce because it rotted in the fields. They experienced a 50% labor shortage in the industry. That bill was a catastrophic failure and it was a bill that required employers of more than 10 people to verify their employees’ status. Forced mass deportations? That just expedites the issues. I know people like you hate it when people like me point out the fact that undocumented immigrants mostly work jobs that the average American worker wouldn’t take, but it’s a fact: they do. And again, wanna know who agrees with that take? Bill Maher. “This” being mass deportations? Yes, it absolutely is, and it’s only one of them. It’ll only be outdone by the effects of his nonsensical tariff policy. Based on what? A full fiscal quarter prior to the pandemic (as early as August of 2019), we were seeing multiple indications that we were heading into a recession precisely because of his tariffs, which were relatively minor compared to what he’s been talking about this go-around. Did he do anything to correct that? No and it’s for the same reason he would not do what you’re saying here: to do such a thing would be an admission that he was wrong, and he is absolutely incapable of ever admitting that even about the most trivial thing. You’re attributing to him qualities that he does not have. You’re describing a fictitious Donald Trump that has never existed at any point in history…and it’s for the same reason you made that speculative prediction: you’re basing virtually every single statement you made in that series of bewildering inanities on what you want to believe and what you want to be true. You’ve not given a single reason for anyone to believe that. In the two years that Trump and the Republicans controlled the White House and the Congress, they did not pass a single bill relevant to that topic. They don’t care about it. It’s a red meat topic that they yell and scream about during the election season; nothing more. You say that the Republicans are better about this issue than the Democrats and, once again, there is no evidence to support such a ridiculous statement.- 415 replies

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Thatguy replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Again, not at all what's going on. We don't run a lot of stuff that Quinn is good at. At all!!! There is a reason Sark's offense didn't translate to the NFL and we are seeing why here. It is hard to throw the football out of 12 personnel. It is hard to run those slow developing, back to the field play fakes. We don't run a lot of passing concepts that most teams run. Simple outs, stops, curls, and comebacks aren't in our passing game with any frequency. When we came out in 11 personnel and just dropped back and threw it Quinn was cooking. Where we bog down is when we go away from that back to ball control sets. Tonite we got ourselves in trouble wasting early downs trying to establish the running game and then asking the quarterback to repeatedly bail us out. Sark is stubborn vs Georgia and keeps trying to win by playing in a phone booth and you aren't going to beat them like that. You need to be able to spread them out and ask them to tackle in space. Run out of 11 personnel. Spread them out and prevent them from disguising their defense. Move people away from the box so your QB has space to take off when they turn their back to him. Georgia did to us what we should've done to them. They spread us out and ran on us. They spread us out and ran the QB with a lead blocker. We aren't good enough across all O-line positions to win every matchup. Someone always loses a 1v1 and we have negative plays. Sark is very stubborn with his offense. We just line up and try to "Out-Texas" everyone and it works until we come up against an uber-talented squad. -

What hath the morning brung us? 95% of the post-SECCG posts on here are negative to whiny to downright hostile vs Sark, Quinn, Auburn, the O Line, other Surly posters or all of the above. Then I read of SMU’s big comeback trumped by Clemson’s walkaway very long field goal. So, apparently now the Committee will not be able to find a way to justify sending Bama to be sacrificed in the Horseshoe or on the Golden Dome in the midst of a fucking winter storm. Well, you know what? Maybe we shouldn’t have shit the bed vs both Vandy AND Oklahoma? Maybe we don’t DESERVE to be in the CFP. At least the Texas Longhorns are IN the motherfucker. And if you’re IN IT you can WIN IT. Now, say ten Hail Marys, my sons. Go forth and sin no more. 11:00 will be here soon. The Bama weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth will be loud and long.

statsman replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Quinn just isn’t a fast processor. Remember Scipio writing about Jalen Hurts at OU? How Riley had to call plays that let him work off his first read, because he couldn’t process a second read? That’s Quinn. He can be effective off the script (practiced) and RPOs. After that’s done, his effectiveness drops. Intelligence has a lot of facets. Vince wasn’t the most fluid thinker, but he was a very fast processor. Quinn just isn’t. With the right matchups, we can win some games. The defense is terrific and there aren’t any dominant teams. We’ll go as far as Quinn and the defense can take us. -

People like you constantly blowing smoke up Quinn’s ass is part of the reason why he never seems to get better. The fans and everyone are always telling Quinn how great he is and what a Texas legend he is while blaming everyone else for offensive miscues. This gives Quinn no incentive to get better if everyone is constantly telling you how great you are and buying all your NIL shit that is being blasted from your social media on a daily basis. Get that money Quinn because it may not be as lucrative for him in the NFL, but shit, play some better football and score more touchdowns as THE QB for The University of Texas if you’re going to be putting your name and face on a shitload of products. When Quinn did that Dick’s commercial with Simone Biles, Dak Prescott, and Chris Paul, I was nearly clutching my pearls thinking that if we don’t win the CFP this year, Simone Biles and her gold medal just did a commercial with the biggest sports non-championship winners in the state of Texas. -

Funk Doctor Spock replied to Pancho's topic in Football
Couldn't agree more. I know Sark keeps in touch with Saban, so I don't doubt he's picking up some pointers. But like Kirby, it takes time. You.gotta keep stacking those 1-5 classes each year. It may take time, but eventually you will break through. Back in the Mack days it was just different. You needed someone like a VY to elevate your entire team, even if you have NFL talent. It not like Chris Simms' defense was devoid of talent with Corey Redding, Shaun Rodgers, Casey Hampton. Leonard Davis, Mike Wllliams, etc. Or even in 2005 with that team. No one else was taking that team to the NC other than VY Now you have to consistently stack talent over talent over talent. When Smart got to Georgia in 2016 he was using Mark Richt players, so it took him another 5 years before he made the playoffs with his own players. The point is, for all of Sark's faults, in 4 years he's made 2 CFP appearances, the SEC CCG, and has a chance to go all the way, and he's oniy stacked his own talent for 3 years. He's on a great trajectory. Will he win it this year? Probably not. Can he win it with Arch? TBD, but I would take a hard yes just because of bloodlines and scheme fit. I'm as frustrated as anyone on here, and I've had time to cool off and examine things. Regardless of schedule, the only team he lost to was Georgia....the same team that's been stacking talent since 2016. Good times are ahead of us. Weak schedule? Lol k. It's a grind, remember? That's all we heard. We win, now we have a weak schedule. Winning it big takes time, and if Sark continues to take Sabam's advice he'lll break hrough. He might be stubborn and have an ego, but the man isn't stupid. He went into Georgia and pulled 2-3 Georgia recruits, 2 FL recruits, LA recruits, Cali recruit. and TX recruits. He'll be fine. He's still learning to be a HC. He just took UGA into OT. He's surrounded himself with incredible recruiters, which will pay dividends in the not too far distant. I say we all relax and let it unfold. Remember, aggy has NEVER been to a CFP, even in a 12 team playoffs. Sark has been to the 4 team and a 12 team. He'll get it done. He has all the resources anyone could imagine and a donor base that wants another trophy. -

Yev Kassem replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Quinn is who he is. He’s not magically changing anything about his game in two weeks. He is a major detriment that will keep this team from winning a national championship with the most talented roster since 2009. He’s good enough to beat 80-90% of the teams we play, but not the ones that you need to beat to win a title. Sure, we probably win a home playoff game (but I’m not 100% sold on that either), but I have little to no faith in Quinn at this point to win a game against a top flight team. The win last season at Bama has proven to be the exception, not the rule. The kid simply cannot be relied upon to consistently put the team on his back and go score a td in crunch time. The book on him has been out for quite some time now. Pressure the receivers because he’s going to consistently go for the checkdown if his first read isn’t there and he’s not consistent enough with deep balls to punish you throughout a game. At some point his poor footwork fundamentals, poor pocket presence, or poor decision making is going to kill a drive and he’s either going to turn the ball over or make some boneheaded throw that ends in a fg instead attempt instead of a td. Quinn is the Chris Simms of this generation. An uber-heralded QB who never lived up to the hype and their flaws kept ultra talented teams from a championship. -
I couldn’t stop laughing at that. 1. Knew game was over as they got the yardage for the first and we weren’t going to be able to stop 4 attempts from the 2. 2. Thought dudes head popped off for a msec. 3. They slow motioned it back to back and just seeing the backup QB face with the realization that I could actually die doing this against Texas versus a high school team was priceless. 4. Makuba, Simmons and Ant hill are bad dudes. Ewers could’ve become a legend but just didn’t have “it”. Now we’ll see but winning 3 more games is a very tall ask! But next year is going to be bonkers with Arch madness.
