Also, we need to get the SEC championship game moved to New Orleans.

That’s not happening, and we look like A&M fans for even suggesting it

I watched a dozen plays tonight by makuba.  Every play he makes he comes in looking to end someone’s life.  Hes so fast and tries to run through someone’s face. That hit on the qb will go down in gif history.  That was a bright spot I hope we can some how keep him one more season. 

I couldn’t stop laughing at that.

1.  Knew game was over as they got the yardage for the first and we weren’t going to be able to stop 4 attempts from the 2.

 

2. Thought dudes head popped off for a msec.

 

3. They slow motioned it back to back and just seeing the backup QB face with the realization that I could actually die doing this against Texas versus a high school team was priceless.

 

4. Makuba, Simmons and Ant hill are bad dudes.  
 

Ewers could’ve become a legend but just didn’t have “it”.

 

Now we’ll see but winning 3 more games is a very tall ask!

 

But next year is going to be bonkers with Arch madness.

Yes, but the location of the championship game will never affect a&m in any way.

Funny the two missed field goals were right after huge sacks Quinn took to make them further. 

One was after a penalty. But keep fucking that chicken

Pretty sure that was just per contract with abc/espn and not an actual attempt at winning in the redzone.

[Sir Ulrich 5337]

Just finished my recording of the game. Couple of thoughts. 

1. Special teams lost this game. 

2. Since 2021 only Alabama and Ole Miss has beat Georgia in a game. 

3. Quinn needs to hit throws but this WR core is a level below last years.

Then Sark tucked them back up his ass and squatted down and rode with Quinn.

Dude might be a day one pick. Not happening. 

[DreadHead 136]

I'm just surprised we didn't use Arch for more than just run plays. I mean, the trick play on 4th and 1 was boss... but last I checked, he can throw the ball as well. I figured we might see him coming in for a few plays here and there to shake things up. Keep Kirby guessing. Perhaps he brings a spark. You can still be loyal to Quinn, which Sark clearly is, but let's use the tools at our disposal in more creative ways to catch defenses off guard.

Yeah we should probably practice him as the starter and start him

You could've put prime Earl Campbell back there tonight. There was no where to go. 

Their line was on penetrate mode the whole night.  So when our lineman starts doing some sideways shit and pulling they blow the play up.

A functional rpo game would’ve fucked them up.  But Ewers isn’t a threat to run so it’s only rb and slot they got to cover.  So LB gets RB and DB get WR no numbers advantage.

The one glance route did work great but was really a good play by Moore.

He has definitely stacked blue chips in the top 3 level for enough consecutive years to have as good a roster as can be had. Having to contend with Saban and his also thoroughly blue-chip teams threw a wrench in his goals more than a few times. But, I'm sure he's had a learning curve to headcoaching that is required above and beyond having the talent. Sark is taking his lumps now. We'll see how far he goes. Does a lot right, but from the comfort of my couch, he has lessons to learn too.

Couldn't agree more. I know Sark keeps in touch with Saban, so I don't doubt he's picking up some pointers. But like Kirby, it takes time. You.gotta keep stacking those 1-5 classes each year. It may take time, but eventually you will break through. Back in the Mack days it was just different. You needed someone like a VY to elevate your entire team, even if you have NFL talent. It  not like Chris Simms' defense was devoid of talent with Corey Redding, Shaun Rodgers, Casey Hampton. Leonard Davis, Mike Wllliams, etc. Or even in 2005 with that team. No one else was taking that team to the NC other than VY

Now you have to consistently stack talent over talent over talent. When Smart got to Georgia in 2016 he was using Mark Richt players, so it took him another 5 years before he made the playoffs with his own players. 

The point is, for all of Sark's faults, in 4 years he's made 2 CFP appearances, the SEC CCG, and has a chance to go all the way, and he's oniy stacked his own talent for 3 years. He's on a great trajectory. Will he win it this year? Probably not. Can he win it with Arch? TBD, but I would take a hard yes just because of bloodlines and scheme fit. 

I'm as frustrated as anyone on here, and I've had time to cool off and examine things. Regardless of schedule, the only team he lost to was Georgia....the same team that's been stacking talent since 2016. Good times are ahead of us. Weak schedule? Lol k. It's a grind, remember? That's all we heard. We win, now we have a weak schedule. 

Winning it big takes time, and if Sark continues to take Sabam's advice he'lll break hrough. He might be stubborn and have an ego, but the man isn't stupid. He went into Georgia and pulled 2-3 Georgia recruits, 2 FL recruits, LA recruits, Cali recruit. and TX recruits. He'll be fine. He's still learning to be a HC. He just took UGA into OT. He's surrounded himself with incredible recruiters, which will pay dividends in the not too far distant. I say we all relax and let it unfold. Remember, aggy has NEVER been to a CFP, even in a 12 team playoffs. Sark has been to the 4 team and a 12 team. He'll get it done. He has all the resources anyone could imagine and a donor base that wants another trophy.

This is the way

[Longhornlove 5136]

Texas got their ass whooped on first down throughout the game on offense, ultimately ended in a loss. You must win at the point of attack and Texas lost through the entire game.

all he has to do is just turn and get in the way and make a little contact.  it would not have been a block in the back.  He though Barron was going to run by him.  I wish Barron had not trusted him and just cut.

You can say that again, and yeah, I don't think it woulda been a block in the back either. Ugh. Sickening.

All of this is true except the comparison to aggy

we aren’t fucking competing with aggy

we are competing with Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, and Oregon for the yearly favorite to win it all… and actually do it. 

[Longhornlove 5136]

I will say ultimately that we lost the second half against a backup QB is a major negative.

To me this is the worst play of the night for Texas.  They didn't have a punter.  Wtf were you expecting there?  That play alone should cost Banks his job (if not being able to recruit a kicker or a punter that is worth anything isn't enough).

Only 4 pages back

I'm sure it has been said, we fucked off the first half and should have been a insurmountable lead.

I only mentioned aggy because that's all those morons talk about, and we're in the same state.

But you are correct, those are the real teams we're competing with.

If SMU was to win Bama would be in based on being ranked ahead of Miami, Ole Miss, and South Carolina cause Clemson would 100 percent be out.  If Clemson boat raced SMU they may have still put Bama in over SMU but I think SMU has kept it close enough that they will grab the last spot if the score stays similar.
