2019 Sugar Bowl - Texas vs. Georgia

[Thetexashammer 1062]

There was talk about how our CCG was at noon and so nobody watched. On the other hand, this game was the last game before the MNC, on a New Years when pretty much everybody was watching. Worked out in the end, I think.

I was concerned that OU "made the playoffs" and A&M won their game. OU got demolished and A&M played a team that made Kellen Mond look good. Again, I think it worked out for the good guys.

Just watched the All Access for this game. Good stuff.

[thepop 4409]

Something I noticed while watching All Access and when rewatching the game; after the offense comes off the field, Same and Shane would put on their headsets to talk to Beck upstairs. Casey Thompson would come over and sit with them during this discussion but Rising wasn't around. Not sure if it's been like that all year or not.

I mentioned that in the game thread too

[Doc Reeves 6434]

Huh. Weird, I missed that but that is odd looking on the replay

If second-hand rumours are to be believed, Thompson is the more likely of the two to not transfer. FWIW.

I don’t think it’s been like that all year. I mentioned in it one of the other threads after I noticed it. Rising seemed to be checked out.

I did see him celebrating with the other QBs while wearing a headset a couple times in the "Texas RAW" footage that Texas Football has been posting on Instagram if we really wanna dig into this one. Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

If you'd ever seen a well-trained heeler roll up on some cattle, you'd think differently.

This doesn't work as well, if at all, with longhorns in my experience.

[victory88 5654]

I noticed the same.  He was off to the side talking to some trainer or GA the majority of the Georgia game.

[Magus Ossis 2783]

I am in the camp that was looking forward to seeing what Rising could do. That said, there are 22+ positions on the field. QB is the most important, but even so having 5+ guys on scholarship is a bit much. Ideally you have a starter, a backup, number three, and a freshman you are redshirting. Shane is no Sam substitute, but he is our #2. RoJo is the RS. As much as we hate to lose promising guys, someone really should leave. With a year to chill, practice, and develop, and with the nightmare of the '16 and '17 lines starting to shrink in the rearview, Shane might be a better backup than we expect. The news that Thompson was engaged is certainly promising. It would be a bummer if we lost more than one QB.

Did Alabama pass through Athens on their way back to Tuscaloosa? How odd.

"OK, Cool.  Hook'em"

Love it. 

[Modessit 5596]

So I'm sure this was mentioned elsewhere, but I see Georgia's OC has left to become OC at Tennessee. That's two coaches at Top10 schools that have left after losing to Texas.

[Thetexashammer 1062]

After A&M won, I was worried. NC State was a bad enough team they even made Kellen Mond look good. The OU lost in convincing fashion. Then we flat out dominated Georgia on New Years Day with everyone watching. Players better, coaches better, offense, defense, special teams, just dominated on the big stage. And then I felt better about everything.

We're gonna win.

Sugar BOwl called me.  he said his girl called him.  She said can I come over.  He said yeah.  She said yeah.

Man it looks like those guys were just having a blast. Can’t believe some of the players these days are skipping these bowl games just to focus on a damn combine. These are memories that they will cherish the rest of their lives

[Hornius Emeritus 12416]

 I couldn't sleep last night so I re-watched the game. At the end it occurred to me (and I'm sure that this has already been posted) that, despite the fact that they were certainly hyped up beyond belief, our OL did not have a single penalty called on it. No offsides, no holding ... nothing.  Pay Herb Hand his money!

I'm not really following you.  Mel Tucker, DC, left UGA prior to the game.  Are you referring to another top 10 team, like  OU?  Their DC  left after they beat us. 

[South Austin 52130]

I thought he was referring to Mike Stoops, who was fired after Texas won at the Cotton Bowl.

Let em know what they signed up for from the very first play.

 

That’s a good line.

He said OC, not DC.  Jim Chaney left for Tennessee.  Lots of rumors that the reason so many players left early were because they didn't like the offensive coach.  They lost their top 3 undergrad receivers and their 2nd leading running back, in addition to their backup QB.

Yeah the Chaney move to Tennessee smelled like a soft landing..... Kirby had to make a change so Fromm improves in 2019

Jawja fans are angry after: 1) Loss in SEC Championship Game; 2) Fields probable departure;  and 3) Fromm's horrible showing in the Sugar Bowl.

Herman gets it. He knows how you win a dogfight. You fight. Be the meanest, toughest junkyard dog from the word "go." And extending that to a team sport, make it about love, loyalty, and duty to the guy next to you. I loved that game.

[Funk Doctor Spock 11920]

Fromm, to me, looks like he's hit his ceiling. He's not going to get much better. He's an average pocket passer. Hs's never going to be Trevor Lawrence. They honestly should have gone with Fields instead, but I'm glad they didn't.

Yeah I suppose so, but Stoops got fired.  I figured by his comment about leaving (i.e 'left'),  I thought he was referring to coaches who left their program after we beat them, as in they left on their own.
