If all of this is true, then this was well played by Sarkisian and Texas doesn't have to worry about trotting out Charles Wright this season.

But for next season, Charles Wright and even Cole Lourd need to be prepared to step in and takeover.

Casey Thompson stayed out of trouble and seems to have done everything the coaches have asked of him, so I hope for nothing but the best for him.

Sark has time to develop one of Wright/Lourd into a backup by 2022.

Both will play due to injuries and lead Texas to a B12 title and NY6 Bowl, just missing the CFP. Both will then come back the next year with unfinished business, and finish business as Texas makes their first appearance in the CFP in their first year in the SEC. Arch Manning then picks Texas and brings home a title and the Longhorn Quarterback Whisperer legend of Steve Sarkisian is born. A line of NFL Hall of Fame Longhorn Quarterbacks commences over the subsequent decades. All Gas No Brakes.

We're gonna blow some people out and Casey will get lots of reps in Q3 and 4.  

There week be no up by 21 at half and win by 7 games. 

FUCK YOU TURTLE TOM

Johnny Utah is an FBI Agent. 

Great movie but that guy really is a moron. 

He had "sources" on the defensive coordinator hire and it was some name out of left field that wasn't even mentioned by anyone else. I can't even remember who it was but it was posted all over this board. 

This board should stop posting shit from obvious idiots like that.

Hope card is great, hope Casey is great when he gets to play in all of our large margin victories and/or injury to card, and hope Casey kicks ass next year at whichever school he transfers to in January. 

I just hope it’s actually January when he transfers. I think it’s best for him to stick it out Buchele style as well, because he probably will get to play at some point due to injury (I trust Sark not to be Herman and trot an obviously injured, limited QB out when the backup is plenty capable) - not to mention the potential for mop up duty or straight up taking the job if Card doesn’t play well when the lights come on - but it’s easy to rush to a decision in the heat of the moment. I’m not sure what benefits he gets from leaving the team now though. It’s not like he can walk into a remotely desirable situation and be the starter. He’d probably be the top transfer QB on the market next year.

If Sark keeps Thompson on campus this year, that’s a huge win.

Holy shit. Not only is Card the starter, apparently he’s the next Aaron Rodgers…

Why Texas named Hudson Card its starting QB: ‘Wait till you see this kid’

By Bruce Feldman  18m agosave-icon@2x.png

It probably surprises some folks who remember how flawless Casey Thompsonlooked in torching the Colorado defense in Texas’ bowl win last winter. But it’s Hudson Card who has beaten out the more experienced player for the Longhorns starting quarterback job when they open against No. 23 Louisiana next weekend, a source told The Athletic Saturday morning. 247Sports first reported the news.

Card, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound redshirt freshman, has generated a lot of buzz inside the UT program. This was the expected outcome in the minds of several sources on the Longhorns staff. Card isn’t just seen as the future at Texas, but also the present. Coupling Card’s skill set with the game-breaking ability of budding star running back Bijan Robinson is why the staff thinks the Horns are going to win big very soon.

“Wait till you see this kid,” said a Longhorns source this week. “It’s not like Casey isn’t good, but this kid’s upside is through the roof. He’s so accurate and is really athletic. It’s impressive stuff.”

Card was actually a standout wide receiver at Texas powerhouse Lake Travis while the program also had touted QB Matthew Baldwin, who later signed to play quarterback at Ohio State. Card was in the same 2020 quarterbacks class in Texas and ranked higher nationally (No. 4 QB) than new Texas A&M starter Haynes King (No. 9 QB), according to the 247Sports Composite. He completed 66 percent of his passes as a senior at Lake Travis.

Card wowed the former UT staff as the 2020 season went on with what they saw on the practice field, evoking some Aaron Rodgers comparisons in his ability to move within the pocket and throw from different arm angles and make off-platform throws.

“Hudson has got a chance to be special,” a former UT coach on the 2020 staff predicted of Card when assessing the quarterbacks situation in Austin. “He is ridiculously good. He can really spin it. He makes good decisions. He has a lot of ‘It’ factor.”

Thompson, came into the Alamo Bowl last December at the start of the second half after Sam Ehlinger left with an injury, going 8 for 10 with four touchdown passes in a 55-23 rout.

Thompson, a fourth-year QB who signed with Texas in December 2017,  is expected to get some action in the opener against Louisiana. No. 21 Texas essentially has two quarterbacks, and the prospect of losing one of them in wake of the QB decision this week would leave the program in a precarious spot.

This isn't the first time we've heard the staff's optimism. I'd love to see it happen. Its time

Side note re: beer that those of you with young adults will know already, but apparently fewer young adults drink beer. They don’t like it and have moved on to hard seltzers.

Oh lord. That's one thing a beer town like San Diego needs desperately -- a Yuengling pipeline.

Are you supposed to be happy when you lose a competition?

No. I mean, it's not like we don't need to repeat it, but Austin sports journalism sucks donkey eggs.

Except for, like, Gerry. He's OK.

Look at Mr. Fancyboy using a glass.

I don't care what beer you're drinking. If you aren't pouring it into a glass, you're doing it wrong. You can get glasses cheap at Burlington Coat Factory, $6 for a quad of tumblers.

Or you can use these:

I guess the University of Texas is some washed up low class boomer now? Fuck Corvettes. This motherfucker is a Lambo. 

Looks great, everyone wants one, spends half of its time broken down? Shit, that's a lot more accurate than I'd really like it to be. :/

Hyping up the uber talented blue chip QB from LT has never NOT worked out, right?

When is the simulated game today? I really wanna hear about how Hudson is Aaron Rodgers, Moore is Devonta Smith, Bijan is Reggie Bush, Keondre is Aaron Donald, and how we’re winning the B12, the CFP, the Super Bowl, the Heisman, and the draft.

Why the pessimism?

No pessimism, I just want the Kool Aid injected into my veins.

 

I’m like an addict, man. They get me every season with the hype. We may have gotten disappointed for the last ten years but I’ll buy into the two of the best play callers in CFB elevating this team. Might get heartbroken again but I’ll take it every year.
