Fact: A month ago he pulled the guy in the biggest home game in almost two decades with every NFL team in attendance. I’m sure his legacy and NFL draft status were just sky high as Arch trotted on the field in the second quarter.

This.  People keep pointing to the Kentucky game that was never in doubt as evidence that Sark wouldn't pull Quinn if he's ineffective this Saturday.  If he's ineffective and we have a 10 point lead and can run at will (as long as we hang onto the ball) then they are probably right.  If we fall behind and can't move the ball because Quinn is immobile and can't plant/throw I have no doubt he'll make a move (just like he tried against UGA).

……..immobilization was pretty much it. What can they do other than that?

Good lord, start Trey Owens, I don't care.  I just want to time travel to Saturday at 6:30 PM and get this fucking show on the road.

Hoping our starting QB is too hurt to play in our most important game of the regular season is weird. 

Yeah - I’ve been critical of Quinn this year and agree this is a bizarre and misguided sentiment. Quinn is the only QB on our roster who’s been in this kind of environment and that definitely matters.

Sark has a strong preference for Quinn as he is much more experienced and supposedly less mistake prone.  As long as he thinks Quinn can do the minimum, he will ride him.  But Sark knows this game simply must be won, and will make choices against this criteria.

Except it doesn’t

Jesus is there a fucking carbon monoxide leak in this thread? I guess you'd rather go on the road in the first round of the CFP instead of getting a bye and needing two wins* to play for a national championship.

You still need 2 wins to play for national championship if you get a bye

Maybe not for playoffs.  But losing to aggy would matter to a few of us

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.

The worst case scenario is losing to aggy and then having to watch them play UGA for the SEC championship. Do you really think that if we lost to UGA that we'd be going "Damn, too bad we didn't lose @ aggy instead"?

My bad. Still. 3 wins vs. 2.

You play an extra game but Texas would almost assuredly get a home playoff bid. 

If Texas can't beat atm tomorrow then I have a hard time believing we win four straight games in the playoff starting on the road. 

 

Also - even if you don't give a shit about any of that - it's a must win because it's aggy and it's our first game against them in 13 seasons.

Lose this game and it is probably the 8/9 game. Based on current rankings that is Georgia vs Tenn. Being in the 8/9 slot sucks

Beating Aggy always matters.  The stakes are high.

Win and we are in the SEC championship and will either get a bye or first round home game in the playoffs.  I have no doubt that Sark wants to be in the championship his first year in the SEC.

Lose and a case can be made for us to miss the playofffs. If we get in,  we will have to travel.

[jimmyjazz 46315]

I could not care less about followon implications of beating A&M but losing to UGA, etc.

I want to beat the shit out of A&M.  The rest can wait.  What is wrong with some of you people?  (And by "you people" I mean "you people".)

Conference championships are stupid and unnecessary in the world of 12 team playoffs. Do I wish we’d win the first year in this damn conference? Of course. Would the reaction of losing to Aggy be insufferable and something I’d like to avoid if at all possible, of course.

But losing tomorrow prevents the wear and tear and inevitable injuries that would come from next Saturday. And if you lose next Saturday, you only have 2 weeks to recover. Depending on what’s going on with Quinn having the 3 weeks between tomorrow and cfp first round could be huge

If we can’t be aggy we have no business thinking we will compete for a natty

For the 1 seed when we beat the Tenn or whoever ends up at 9

Whoever starts the game, I just hope Arch is getting enough 1st team reps so he is ready in case his number is called. This is too important a game for us not to be ready in case Quinn can't go. Everything is one the line.

I'll give Sark a call and let him know that this game is important.
