Punting? 1983 was either John Teltschik, future Philly great, or someone else, but the punting was much better then. FG kicking, another miss tonight, and if these two units have another bad game at the same time it could kill us. Punting edge to '83 Kicking even. If Ward makes 4 out of 5 or 5 out of 5 in the '84 CB we would have been National Champs. Offense, 24 much better, even with the turnovers. Defense, '83 no doubt, but it is getting closer. '83 was #1 in the country in yards per game. I haven't looked at our rating now, but it almost has to be in the top 5. Offense, lapses in every game, both years. Much worse in 1983, when we had problems due to Fred not able to decide on a QB and the fact that we lost our best running back in October I think. In his prime, Edwin Simmons reminded me of Bo Jackson, and almost as fast. But due to a medical condition Edwin found out that one leg was shorter than the other which caused knee problems. By the time the '83 season ended we had nobody who could hit the hole as fast as Edwin. Then Rick McIvor magically had the day of his life against the Age in the 45-13 win and Fred was committed to go with Rick for the Cotton Bowl. Tonight the defense could have easily outscored the offense in the 2nd half, similar to how the '83 unit operated, but two potential interceptions were dropped. The drop by the DL is totally excusable, would have been a ridiculous catch and I didn't see a replay on the other, a ball thrown at the end of the third quarter. Sad to say about the offense, but the offense is so bad in whichever quarter it disappears that I believe the D needs to try to score one TD per game. If Aggy picks up the punt block and runs it in, we still win, but talk about fingernails on a chalkboard!! 17-14. Let's have one game where all three units play well!!
-
Fucking hell. We have all the pieces to win a title except a consistent QB. This game should be getting put away right now. Come on defense, go get the win like last week.
-
Shit!!! We can't execute well on O and shut this down. This doesn't bode well. I don't know what can be done. Ewers is not elite and Manning is too green. We are fucked going forward but at least win this fucking game, Sark. Please win this one.
-
We gotta win this one, let’s go!
-
With a Texas win, aggy goes to 8-4, where they belong, and we go to the SEC championship game, where we belong.

If we win tonight I hope we are going to spray paint Kyle Field burnt orange and cover the field with Bevo's cow patties.

no team was going to keep up that pace. hell, we may never see another regular season team like BOS from a couple years where they went 65-12-5. I always tell myself a 2:1 win/loss ratio is what the standard should be. Anything below that an you will be battling for a playoff spot. The Jets are 5-5 in their last 10, which only proves them human. Plenty of runway left - to take off or crash. that's what makes it all so fun
-
eh, we had one bad half with multiple turnovers in our end by our QB's and our punter sucks. I said it then and I will say it now. Not scared of Georgia at all. that said Georgia is gonna win this game because Ga Tech is going to fuck around too much.

Vic Mackey replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
While that's all true, it's still not technically a must win for Texas like it is for aggy. We are in the playoffs pretty much no matter that at this point. Yes, we would get a lower seed and a harder path but we are in regardless. The worst case scenario is winning tomorrow but losing in the championship game to Georgia. You played that extra game for absolutely nothing. Still needing to go on the road and getting no bye in between. -

Electorate: The price of eggs are the reason we need a change and Trump!!!! [Election night Trump wins] Trump: TARIFFS!!!!! Corporations: Let’s get prices higher before the tariffs kick in…. Then when tariffs kick in we can charge more to compensate! Me (today): A dozen Central Maket pasture raised eggs are $6.79? Dammit. Under a Biden administration’s policies those things never got over 5.98 and only briefly. I’m going to buy cheaper free range eggs instead. This will be the next 4 years. I’ll be able to keep my bills somewhat insulated by ‘buying down’ or buying Hill country fair milk instead of HEB. The people on the edge of the middle class and those lower are going to get ass raped. Hope it was worth it! -
So, let's take this crap point by point: 1 - a) you didn't win a championship, therefore it was not a championship run and b) how did we interfere? Coaches consider better jobs all the damn time. Shit happens. You didn't win the championship and you lost your coach. Fucking deal with it. 2 - a) if true, how is that on us? and b) bullshit. That was a pretty fairly called game, as B12 games go. I know a lot of ags were pissed and moaned about the personal foul on our last drive, but that was 100% in line with how that was called that year. 3 - Huh? This sounds like pure projection. 4 - Again, if true how is this on us? Also, the SEC clearly stated that their scheduling was taking into account team strength over the last decade (? I think) and we have been pretty damn average. That's why we have fired three coaches since you last saw us. 5 - Bullshit. Total, unadulterated bullshit. You are a complete fucking moron for suggesting this bullshit is true. 6 - We ARE big brother. Look at the record to understand why. And I don't just mean football, as if that isn't enough. Look at all sports. And why is one 10-15 year period 3 decades ago in a century-plus long history the end-all reference point for you gomers? A period when, oh by the way, you were the cheatingest motherfuckers in all of college football. (Cause/effect much, genius?) You do realize that the ONLY reason aggy football did NOT get the death penalty was because the NCAA saw how badly SMU got crippled by it? 7 - We don't teach them. Kids are perceptive and they understand we are just better than you. 8 - We didn't follow you. The college football world has changed and we made the best move for US. And, btw, the SEC would have kicked your middling asses to the curb to get us if they had to. As to you outshining us... The next time that happens will be the first, you delusional, hayseed jackass.

UTexasFight replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Unpopular opinion: I could see it going the other way. This is a game we don’t have to win. I could see sark sticking with ewers just to avoid the nonsense that would come with a QB controversy simmering for 3 weeks before the playoff game if arch comes in and plays well. Also has the added benefit of keeping arch off the game film if/when ewers is in effective in the playoff and you actually do need to go to arch. “But this is A&M. This, like ou, is a game you don’t lose if you want to be the coach at Texas for a while.” I hear ya… but couldn’t you see sark not fully appreciating what Saturday and this rivalry means? (Like arky 3 years ago). And then never making that mistake again and winning the next 9 in a row? -

I think people are forgetting how well he'll throw for scouts. Those goobs always forget about pocket presence et al when they see a great arm. If we keep winning (in this down QB year) he'll go 2nd - 3rd. -
We were discussing that this morning and then taking a train from Santiago de Compostela to Bilbao. But we decided to change the itinerary because any of the flights back home I could snag required 2 stops and an overnight layover in either Madrid or London. I probably lucked out and found a nonstop from Porto to BCN, and a one-stop with a short layover from BCN back to Denver. So now we're going from Paris to Porto to BCN, and we'll do a day trip from Porto into Galicia. Neither of us have been to Barcelona either and it didn't cost any more miles so I'm counting this as a win, although I'm disappointed that we won't get into Basque.

Been thinking about this game for quite a while, and the more angles you look at it, the worse it looks for us. A&M is absolutely capable of shutting us down the way Georgia did. Their D-line is one of the best we'll face. We have a hobbled Quinn and an O-line that repeatedly commits false starts under crowd pressure and has protection breakdowns on the right side. Bateman + Elko are going to tee off on the right side of our line (Williams/Campbell) and disrupt everything we try to do in the passing game. Without the pass we can't set up the run, and running into the teeth of A&M's interior is not going to get us anywhere. A&M's secondary doesn't hold up in coverage on the deep end, but they'll fly to the ball and kill our screen/short passing game if that's all we can execute. And we can't execute the deep shots needed to punish them even with a healthy Quinn. On the other side of the ball, A&M has a very diverse ground game that's going to be tough to shut down. They'll use read and shotgun option to take our D-linemen out of the play and focus action on the LBs. We can cover A&M's receivers, but Reed can just pull it down and run for 8-12 yards a pop when our pass rush gets past A&M's O-line. A&M's offense is absolutely deadly on 3rd down with Reed's scrambling abilities, and that's where the game will be decided. The final factor in all of this is motivation. A&M has to win the next two games to make the playoffs. We are going to get their best on Saturday. We have already sealed a spot in the playoffs and it will be tougher to get that edge, especially with the crowd environment. SCar and Auburn were able to beat A&M in ways we can't replicate. SCar ran over A&M with a monster RB and a QB who was dodging A&M's pass rush all night. Obviously Quinn can't do that. Auburn beat A&M by hitting deep shots and Thorne scrambling. We can't do that either. In sum, the question isn't whether or not we'll win. It's whether or not we'll be able to keep it close. A&M 31 UT 17 Quinn with 149 passing yards.

GTJ1982 replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Team losses. Quinn Victories! Anyway I don’t get why Quinn would transfer if he decides to stay in school. All the reasons he should start this season will apply next season with even more wins on his tally and more experience. Do we really want to go into next season with a QB who only has 2 wins when we could have a QB with 23 plus wins and 2 playoff appearances. From a football perspective seems like an easy choice. -
It’s always been a 1 game season for them. The Elko making progress and moving the program forward bullshit is just lies they tell themselves. It’s why they shook off a catastrophic loss to Auburn in literally 10 minutes. If you don’t believe me, go listen to the TexAgs postgame recap. “We can still beat Texas” platitudes in the opening paragraph. I hope we win, I think we’ll win, if not I’m going to get it worse than many of you lucky bastards living outside of Houston. I’ve somehow become the Texas guy on a rodeo committee pushing 1,000 people.

No sir, I said he shits the bed from time to time. I think we win even if he shits the bed for a minute. Aggy doesn’t have the OL Georgia does or ettiene. They can throw the kitchen sink at us and we will weather it and win. That Georgia team we played with their defense executing the way they were could hang with any team from the last 5 years. Bad Quinn can beat aggy. IMO. I have that level of faith in sark, pk, and the filthiest defense I’ve seen in my lifetime. I will also say I think arch should have finished the game at Kentucky. If Quinn is too physically limited to go then arch should be given the opportunity to play. -

What? You can go back and look at my post saying their pass rush is overrated and they are 13th in sacks. One talking about Texas has huge advantage with Helm and RBs vs the A&M LBs. You can look at the post saying Texas is 3rd in YAC and A&M is 114th in YAC allowed. The only way I see A&M winning is if we get bad Quinn (OU,Georgia, and Ark versions). Good Quinn and this is a double digit win. Do you disagree with my assertion that Quinn does not handle pressure well at all? -
Endrick sucks so bad. I’m always excited to see him take the field because I know he’s going to fuck up in two dozen clownish ways and crack my ass up at what a fucking schmuck he is. This win felt great. We absolutely dominated those fucksticks.

https://www.theplayerstribune.com/cj-baxter-ncaa-football-texas-longhorns To the Texas Brotherhood Nov 27, 2024 Everybody knows my mindset. I’m a simple guy. When I’m lined up in the backfield — no matter what the situation or how high the stakes are — my mind is usually pretty clear. I’m only ever thinking about three things: My alignment. My assignment. Executing the play. I’ve been playing football my entire life, so whenever I’m on the field, there’s never any fear or hesitation. I just feel like I’m where I belong. That was the case last August when I lined up to take a random snap during a preseason practice, and my whole life changed in a split-second. Honestly, at that moment, I was probably as confident as I’d ever been playing football. I came to Texas as the No. 1 running back in the nation out of high school. I learned the ropes from future NFL draft picks. And now, this season was going to be my turn. I was ready to be the next great Longhorns running back. When I got the ball, I hit the left B-gap, same as I have literally thousands of times throughout my life. But when I got tackled, I knew something was wrong. And it wasn’t the pain that scared me — I don’t even remember the pain that much. It was the sound. A pop. I’d heard about “the pop” many times — the sound a ligament makes when it snaps — but had never experienced it myself. I knew right away that all of the plans I had before I was handed the ball were out the window. One moment, I felt ready to take on the world. But as soon as I heard that sound — that pop — all I felt was fear. If the sound wasn’t enough of a hint, I knew things were bad when Coach Sark stopped practice. You have to understand, this program runs like a well-oiled machine. Every minute of practice is used up with specific intention — and nothing stops that, not even injuries. As a million thoughts went through my head, I heard one voice clearly — Coach Choice’s. “Breathe. Just breathe. It’s going to be OK.” I’ve never wanted to believe something so badly in my life. Ricardo B. Brazziell/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK Coach Choice was a big reason I decided to move away from Florida and attend UT. I’d been recruited since I was in 9th grade and had heard just about every pitch imaginable from different coaches. They are nice for stroking your ego, but my mom raised me to value genuineness over everything. And there was no other coach my family connected with on a genuine human level better than Coach Choice. His general approach to life and football is something that I immediately wanted to emulate. He’d played in college and the NFL, but that wasn’t what stuck out with me. I could tell he really cared about developing his players as people, and that really influenced my recruitment. And I mean, my visits to Austin didn’t hurt either. Bijan Robinson was there for all of my visits to the school, and one of the things I admired most was watching how he operated as a person. He was the best player on the team (maybe just the best football player ever?), a surefire first round pick — and he was also everyone’s favorite person to be around. Walking around campus, he always had a smile for you no matter who you were — not just for other players but literally every person he encountered. That was my first exposure to Texas’s culture, but it wasn’t until I enrolled my freshman year that I was given The Blueprint. I don’t think that’s the official term, but it’s the only name that fits. One day during lunch, Jordan Whittington — Whitt — sat down with me for a talk. He’s another player I looked up to — a Five-star recruit who battled through injuries and is now playing out there on Sundays. When I first came to Texas, Whitt let me take the number 4 from him so I could honor my cousin Greg Bryant — a great running back himself at Notre Dame, who tragically passed away a couple of years ago. We’ve always been cool since then. What Whitt broke down for me was essentially all of the things that usually go unspoken, but that make the difference between a team competing for a national championship and missing a bowl game entirely. He’d experienced both sides of it since he’d been at Texas. He told me from the jump what I did in high school didn’t matter anymore. Everybody at Texas balled out in high school — that’s why they’re a Longhorn. For a lot of players, it means sitting on the bench for the first time in your life. Lesson 1: Don’t complain and poison the locker room. Earn your spot on the depth chart. That ego hit can ultimately be too much for some guys. And if it is? There’s the door. Beyond that, as a Texas football player, the person you are matters. Lesson 2: You have a huge microscope on you all the time, and how you act around others leaves an impression. If how you represent yourself and the team doesn’t mean anything to you? There’s the door. There were more lessons to come. It was lessons on lessons, every day. But I think of all the things Whitt told me, the most impactful aspect of the blueprint was that it was another player delivering the message. Of course you never want to disappoint the fans or your coaches. But what elevates a team to the next level is when all of the players go all-out and sacrifice for each other. Not worrying about the outside noise, or the haters, because you already hold each other to the highest standard possible. The difference in these past few years came down to a change in culture. Of course, everybody in college football talks about “culture.” But are they walking the walk? Are they backing it up on tape? Everything Whitt told me during lunch that day was perfectly encapsulated by one play last season against TCU. You can check it out here. It was early in the game against a team we’d struggled with in recent years, and Quinn threw a pick. It’s the type of mistake that might have snowballed into other mistakes in past years. But on this play, Whitt decided that wasn’t happening. He hustled back and tackled the defender returning the pick, and he ended up causing a fumble that Xavier Worthy recovered. Lesson 3: Never quit on a play. Never quit on anything. That play is everything — sick athleticism, unreal effort and just having your teammates’ back. When two of the best players — not just on the team but in the entire country — are going that hard, what’s your excuse? The next deep ball Quinn threw was a perfect pass to Xavier, and we won that game. If you want to know what makes a winning team, there’s your blueprint. Trask Smith/Cal Sport Media via AP Images When I was named a team captain heading into this season, I took to heart what that really meant. Maintaining a winning culture, laying out the blueprint for the new guys coming in, that was on me now. And I was so excited about it. Until I heard that pop. When that happened, I was just filled with fear. By the time I made it back to my locker to let my parents know I was hurt, my phone had more messages on it than I’d ever seen before. It was clear news travels fast in Texas, even when you’re just at practice, and by now pretty much the whole state knew about it. One of the very first people who hit me up was Jonathan Brooks. We became really close when we shared the backfield last year, and he also happened to suffer a season-ending injury. So if anybody in the world understood how I was feeling, it was him. He told me I had a right to feel mad and frustrated — and also that it was important to let myself feel those emotions rather than bottle them up. I think all the attention kind of took my mind off of what happened because I was interacting with so many people. It was in the days and weeks later, after my surgery, when the messages kind of died down and I had a lot of time to myself, that I think the weight of everything hit. It’s a crazy thing to go from being a starting running back to having to learn how to walk and run again at age 19. There were a lot of days early on during rehab that it was tough to get out of bed. Both physically tough, but also mentally draining. Because playing running back, that was always something that came completely natural to me. Now I’m literally back at square one — doing these exercises moving my leg with the goal of increasing the range of motion just a few centimeters. That wasn’t natural at all. That was just pain. I think the biggest thought that consumed me was, “What if I’m not the same player?” One day in the facility, when I was doing my rehab, I got approached by Coach Gideon — our secondary coach. He’s a Texas Ex himself and always has an upbeat message. He recommended that I read this story in the bible, the Book of Job. It’s the story of a man who is given the ultimate test of faith. He has everything he values stripped from him: Friends, family, material wealth— I mean everything. Despite having all of these things stripped away, Job maintains his faith — the only thing that couldn’t be taken from him. It definitely hit me in a certain kind of way, at a time when I really needed it. Sometimes there isn’t a good explanation for why bad things happen, but what’s in your control is how you react. Even when your body is hurt, you can always lean on your faith. Tim Warner/Getty Images I’ve tried my best to look at my injury through the most positive lens that I can. All of my goals in life are still very much ahead of me. Next season, I know that I can still be the best running back in the country. I can still be drafted to play in the NFL and play alongside Jonathan, Bijan, Roschon and all the other amazing running backs this school has produced. And I’m going to be able to approach it all from a place of gratitude. Just loving football more than I ever have before — because I know what it’s like have it taken away. But right now, my goal is to be the best teammate I’ve ever been. Because even if I can’t be out there on the field against A&M, I know my voice holds weight. Whether it’s giving advice to the younger players or just keeping a positive vibe when things are tense, there’s power in taking ownership of the ways you’re able to contribute to the culture — even when you’re hurting. I’m so excited to watch my guys do their thing on Saturday. There’s a phrase that gets tossed around the building a lot…. “Culture + Talent = Dangerous” This school has always had the talent part down. Anyone who’s ever been to Austin understands why talented people kind of naturally want to be here. But now that we have a culture to match it, I mean, that’s just really, really bad news for every other team in the nation. We are back to where we belong. Playing for all the marbles. The Blueprint is there. Now it’s time to execute. Go out there and get one for your brother. Sincerely, CJ

Park Gothic replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Maybe I'm stupid, but I'm just not that worried about this. If Ewers is at 90% and dealing, we win. If he's too hurt or off his game, Sark has a built-in excuse to switch to Arch that lets Quinn save face. And I think we can beat A&M with Arch, given how different the playbook and gameplan looks with him. He's like the polar opposite of Ewers. Either way, Elko is now stuck trying to prep for two completely different QBs. And he doesn't have the horses. Their DL is great, but their LB and DB groups have serious deficiencies. My only lingering concern is that Ewers will go out there, look bad, and Sark won't switch to Arch until we're deep in a hole. Then Arch is put in the position of trying to pull us out of it. Although I think there's a reasonable basis for that concern, I also think Sark has earned a little grace and a little confidence in how he manages the season and the QB room. I'm never going full on "trust the corches," but I'll trust Sark on this until he shows me otherwise. -

BevoAbyss replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Dude, I know you are a well-meaning guy. We are on the same team. About Trump's prosecution: -- I never stated Trump would be prosecuted and convicted in four years, I only said it should have happened. But it was increasingly obvious it was never going to happen. So my "laughable" still stands regarding the slow moving Wheels of Justice. I agree, the electorate failed. At least enough for Trump to win ... and stave off conviction and possible jail time. But Team USA and its justice system loves to protect its presidents from "the facts" of its crimes, including obvious war crimes with massive empirical evidence. Ex: Kissinger, W, Rumsfeld, etc. The record is clear: Presidents fare all too well with their crimes (except for Nixon). About the "Fact-Based" Justice System: I agree that the justice system is mostly "fact based" ... but not for presidential crimes and no longer for religious-based laws. The "fact-based" justice system will be getting weaker and erode with the newly empowered onslaught of religion and unreason. I know you are not defending any Court opinion. But fact-based rulings are under attack, not only with Trump, but others of equal or more importance. So exactly what were the biological and scientific "facts" in Alito's opinion overturning Roe or any of the state abortion bans? None. -- Alito literally cited BS medieval texts ... packaged as a profound scholarly reading of the legal history and precedent (lulz) ... to justify shoving the Bible down the throats of women seeking reproductive care. There are zero scientific facts supporting abortion bans. ZERO. And women are dying because of it. That's the 100% empirical fact. -- It doesn't fucking matter what alleged "facts" were supposedly in the "precedents" cited by Alito. He was just making it up to justify imposing fact-free religious beliefs on women. He literally went back to PRE-scientific era to justify an UN-scientific opinion. 17th Century medievalism over 21st Century science. Going backward, not by decades, but centuries! As we have long known, "fact-based" America is under attack. W's regime embraced parts of it. And it has grown exponentially. About the new ruling ideology of America: The 2016 and 2024 elections showed the new ruling ideology of America is ANTI-fact, ILLogic, UNreason, and UNscientific. Nothing will make sense or needs to even make sense. Nothing. Court rulings, tariffs, health departments, environmental rulings, Cabinet picks, foreign policy decissions, convictions of Trump for which he faces zero penalty, etc. The list is endless. It is pointless to reason it out. Chaos will rule the day. -- Looking for fact-based logic, reason, and science in UNreason America is a complete fools errand. As with the Dobbs decIsion and lack of Trump prosecution, I predict this philosophy will continue to spread throughout America and the Court system from the Supreme Court on down through all the MAGA judges. -- For example, the Establishment Clause which separates Church and State .... so clearly stated in the first line of the First Amendment ... will come under increasing attack in Unreason America and its Christian Evangelicals. And it will fall. Bit by bit, or in one fell swoop. TL/DR. Bottom line: Chaos will be the only rule. -
All I know is that scheduling this way is working. We are currently #30 in NET without a great win. If we beat @NC State or UCONN we are likely going to be sitting pretty based on just the non-conference schedule. Assuming we keep blowing these bad teams out at home. NET really rewards beating these bad teams by large margins. Texas A&M stepped up their non-conference schedule this year playing UH, @ UCF, Ohio State, and Oregon already and will likely be outside of the top 50 of NET tomorrow. Hate the system not how we are rigging it.
