Be on the lookout for Andy Reid and Ryan Day running some kind of football camp for underprivileged children during the off-season. If that happens, we need to drive there and pursue citizen’s arrests ourselves if the authorities refuse to act.

SIAP - Bobby Burton on the QB decision

Spoiler

I hate to even dignify this with a comment, but there are those out there who somehow believe or even want to entertain the idea that Steve Sarkisian purposely duped Longhorn reporters by naming Quinn Ewers his quarterback. Or that Sark’s decision was somehow influenced by a mysterious cadre of boosters.

Neither could be further from the truth.

The truth is, reporters sometimes get stories wrong. And sometimes reporters rely on sources who aren’t the ultimate decision maker.

In this instance, no one else was the arbiter. It was Sark and Sark alone.

And he made the choice that he thinks will help this program over both the near- and long-term.

So if any of you have dubious conspiracy theories rattling around your brain that big money donors influenced this QB decision, it’s just not the case. No big money donors influenced this decision.

And Sark certainly wasn’t vindictive to the media. The thought of that is absurd. As the leader of a football team preparing to host 100,000 fans in 13 days, he has much bigger fish to fry.

**

Some have questioned why Sark had sports information director John Bianco tell the media instead of himself.

First of all, it’s something that happens often. The SID speaks for the coach when the coach has other things going on.

It has happened with Mack, Charlie Strong and Tom Herman, as well as Rick Barnes, Shaka Smart and Chris Beard

**

But here’s even more background on it for those so inclined.

According to a member of the athletic department staff, Sark had just told his quarterbacks of his decision minutes before and knew the story would leak out. And Sark had coaches meetings to immediately attend.

So Sark gave Bianco the go ahead to get the story out since it would surely be leaked quickly thereafter.

**

One last note: I apologize for even writing most of this. It’s not the type of thing I like to do. To disprove and knock down conspiracy theories or whatnot. And I especially don’t like it because it takes away from the fact that Quinn Ewers won the job over Hudson Card fair and square.

Not because Quinn was forced into the role by big money donors or because Sark was somehow vindictive to people he doesn’t even really know.

Quinn Ewers is the starter. He earned it.

Give him and Hudson Card, who gave his best effort, the respect they deserve.

To be fair, the 9.95 injury reports have been as far off as the QB reports. They were saying Collins out 4-6 weeks (was back yesterday), Neyor not looking too bad, RoJo about a month (already doing drills).

So yeah, not putting much stock in their reports here, even though IT is being more definitive on this one. Good to see the Surly insiders weighing in too though.

Yes, even Bobby's services gets information wrong, but this dude has been a positive for Texas sports in myriad ways for years. Not to mention, he actually gives a shit about Texas Athletics.

Only thing I've learned from this thread is to not get into business with this guy. 

[Pato del Muerto 53472]

9.95er and scout are two different jobs. 
 

I don’t know how each service allocates their information reporting versus recruit ranking, but the reporting component is the more important skill of the two.  You could do some level of recruit ranking based on offers and physical measurements. 
 

but it’s not a fallback job for failed nfl scout

Standish with additional scrimmage notes (good news on Banks)

Spoiler

Yesterday Texas held their second scrimmage of fall camp and after a run of horrible injury luck during scrimmage No. 1 understandably decided to be more cautious and look to protect key players two weeks away from kickoff. One player that we confirmed an injury for yesterday was true freshman offensive tackle Kelvin Banks after the fall camp standout limped off the field with a lower body injury. I was told this morning by a source that Banks' injury wasn't as bad as initially thought and they heard the diagnosis was a mild ankle sprain and that he could have played through the pain in an important game. The source's expectations are for Banks to return to action in the near future and slot back to his spot at left tackle with the ones.

Speaking of true freshman offensive linemen one of the main takeaways from yesterday's scrimmage was Neto Umeozulu's extended run of snaps with the first team at both right and left guard. On a Quinn Ewers step up in the pocket touchdown to former Montana Grizzly slot receiver Gabe Sulser, the offensive line gave Ewers a perfect pocket with the best protection pickup being Christian Jones perfectly handing off a twist stunt to Umeozulu and Jake Majors while Hayden Conner and Andrej Karic handled their 1v1 matchups. Umeozulu's background playing offensive tackle served him well on a couple of reps where he pulled as a guard to sell the run fake and ended up isolated in space with defenders on the edge.

The inevitable balance for praise regarding the offensive line in the passing game comes with what sources still believe is a weak group at EDGE. There is genuine confidence this will be a better and more effective group than last year with DeMarvion Overshown's Versatility and an overall deeper room. One standout that I've been hearing more and more about over the last week or so is former Austin Westlake star Ethan Burke. I've mentioned on a few podcasts that while most believed Burke was on a longer developmental timeline I believed that the 6-foot-7 230-pounder with an elite multi-sport background would contribute in some fashion this season and ranked him in the top five of 2022 signees before he even stepped on campus. Burke is exceeding even my lofty expectations and is bringing a much-needed spark as a pass rusher running with the twos primarily, in addition to occasional reps with the ones.

A scheme related talking point I've mentioned all offseason has been the likelihood of Texas using a ton of 12 personnel (1 RB 2 TE) and disguised 11 personnel from pistol and the gun to manufacture one on one matchups with play action in the passing game while attempting to create a numbers advantage in the run game by forcing teams to play more than just single high safety. That was evident during yesterday's scrimmage with one of the best plays on the day being a 12 personnel pistol play action 30 yard dime from Quinn Ewers to Casey Cain. Due to pressure following both tight ends (Billingsley and Helm) on the play losing their one-on-one matchups, Ewers released the ball almost a full second before Cain broke towards the sideline and made an impressive grab and touched both feet down for a completion. Ewers also fit a ball in the red zone through a tight window on another play action pistol concept to Gunnar Helm on a seam just a half second before the safety could arrive to make a play on the ball.

Bobby: supports Texas, wants Texas to succeed. Will not publish shit he thinks would hurt Texas to get clicks. Mack Brown apologist

Gerry: hustler and conniseur of adult entertainment. Has connections with every program in the state and when possess integrity

Ketch: piece of shit who only cares about his gravy and where he's gonna get his next gravy

Chip : career opportunist, will publish anything he thinks will make his name for him

Nahlin : he wishes he was Gerry and probably imagines he is, but he isn't

Roach: means well but he's just not good at it

Brian Davis: dinosaur in a dead industry

Kirk Bohls: fuck him

There’s definitely at least one dumb motherfucker around here, and he’s outed himself for all to see. You don’t have a fucking clue about this subject and you’ve made that hilariously obvious. But hey, stick with your certainty, it’s fun to watch.  

There are more than a million subscribers to college sports sites and they’re paying for an entertainment service no different than streaming or investment newsletters. That’s not a “fake ass industry.”

Whoof this is some revisionist history... David Ash is up there with Sam for you? Based on what? Pass completion? Passer rating? 

Both players had their best years as sophomores.

David Ash went 19TD/8INT with 2 rushing TDs. 

Sam Ehlinger went 25TD/5INT with *checks notes* 16 rushing TDs. 

That was a bad take and you should feel bad. 

If you told me to pick a QB out of the last 10 years, I'm taking Ash and Ehlinger... This isn't rocket surgery.  Ash played with a team of... I don't even remember... If we hadn't decided to bash his fucking head in he'd probably have been better, and the same applies to Ehlinger and his shoulder.

But the point doesn't change, even if you exclude Ash... We haven't had QB play for shit.
