This might have been the worst game since the Strong Era. Both teams looked lifeless but ISU just needed to string together a good 3rd quarter to win this one easily.

Arguing about a quarterback controversy here is like arguing over whether Roseanne Barr or Rosie O'Donnell is a more desirable lay.

Please don't start on who the #1 should be. It's totally irrelevant. We suck beyond hope.

The most disheartening thing at this point isn't just the losses. It's that our offensive genius coach just put up 7 points. Yes, he needs a QB, but hard to have any hope.

I'd rather watch the Womans soccer games than this bullshit. 

And the woman are worse than my son's elementary rec league teams.  Women's college soccer is awful.

No more excuses Sark.  Need to see a bunch of new starters next game period. 

Maybe orange slices and cookies might help

No “might have been” to it.

Well we know what we have with card. Two blowout losses to somewhat halfway decent teams and he’s looked like complete dogshit each time. 

Do we really? I don't think so but whatever you think genius. Thompson is a 23 year old JAG at best.

really.  Felt like a Strong game.

Putting this at the feet of the QB seems misplaced. 

Card is not the best option to have the play call break down immediately and run like hell towards the sticks like Sam was and Josh is. 

Sark is REAL good at having the creme de la creme OL holding up the pressure to allow his witchery to develop.

If we had that here, Card is the better choice to exploit "all gas, no brakes".

If we have what we actually have here, Thompson is the better choice to "run, (the Pink Floyd kind of "run") for his life in hopes of a first down offense that became popular here, and foundational here

this will take longer to implement than anyone has the patience or the tolerance for.  This is rooted in the struggle and won't be fixed now, next week nor next year nor with the next coach nor with the next quarterback.

The second half collapses are inexplicable.

But almost as inexplicable are the first half successes.  And a lot of that clearly IS coaching.

Well the thing about coaching is teaching this shit takes time to build in the subconscious tapes so the players can execute in the moment. I’m not sure he’s had enough time to do that. Not saying he’s going to be able to do it, but a new coach with a shit roster and less than 5 months of practice?  Yeah that’s not enough time.  It can take 1-2 years to build good habits that translate to well executed play in the moment.  I think the second half adjustments bullshit is overstated this early in his tenure. His players aren’t that good.the blown leads are something but I can’t say for sure that he’s a doomed failure because of that in his first year with shit talent. I do think he’s being challenged in ways he hasn’t and I bet his leadership is faltering as the team quits and he’s trying to figure out how to lead a shit team. That’s a problem for sure. But maybe he can regroup. I don’t know, but next year will tell us everything we need to know - recruiting and his ability to teach fundamentals to a level they show up in the games. At best it’s 50/50.

Thompson may be a JAG but he’s still better than card. I would like to win now and JAG beats sucks every time.

Watching us makes me sad. And I don't watch sports to be sad. I've been a fan of UT football for over 50 years and can't recall when we ever looked this lifeless and inept week after week. I see nothing at all being built for the future, and the present is horrible.
 

The fact we weren't competitive tonight wasn't at all shocking. That says a lot, because ISU is no special team. We'll be quite lucky to win six games, and I don't expect it. 
 

Maybe if they move the campus to Luling, players will quit signing to enjoy the good life in Austin. Bring us a bunch of football players, because these crops of overrated pretty boys aren't getting it done.

We fired Tom Herman for this 

yep.  

We got rid of a mediocre coach who motivated his team because he was an asshole.  And we replace him with a moron who looks completely lost, but hey, he might be likeable!

That is a stupid take and you should be ashamed.
