I Don't Want To Make This Poll, But its unfortunately necessary.
Steelers Roll Left replied to immamac's topic in Football
I’ve seen you pushing this perspective for a minute now. It’s a difficult analysis because the program has risen like a Phoenix out of the scorched earth of the post-Colt McCoy/Mack Brown era. Back-to-back playoff semifinal appearances buy Sark a lot of capital and time. I do think it’s fair to speculate though. Texas’ rise under Sark also coincided w/ the massive paradigm shift of NIL in college football. Did that have as much, or perhaps more, to do w/ Texas’ return to prominence under Sark? Now that I think is fair to consider, though personally I’m not fueling the coaching search plane any time soon -
Lol, but he's really pretty and has a great body. So a label signed him and continues to promote him as a great vocalist because sunk-cost fallacy and his songs produce a lot of revenue with other artist.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
BevoAbyss replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
“monomania” is that a new legal term you learned for psychological cases. Dude, I don’t know how old you are (and don’t care). Depending on your age, I’m betting you voted for Ronnie Raygun twice, Bush 1 twice, Bush 2 twice, and probably McCain and Romney. I am sure there are many Surly posters who did this. And now y’all are suddenly the expert on whether Raygun set up precedents for Bush 2 and Trump. Lulz. You did not see the precedents, but others did. Many. Going back to the 1980s. Just not the American media or liberal intelligentsia, under control by the sacred texts of the NY Times. Those who posed the issue were marginalized. Hell, I saw it on the UT Campus in the 1980s. Right now, I am very worried about the MAGA LEOPARDS coming for my face. Many others are, too. Here's why (I said most of this once before, right after the election). -- I am torn between continuing any artistic/writing projects (that may have implicit or explicit critiques of Team USA) in public – with my name on them -- and risking a FAFO moment and having my own face eaten by MAGA leopards. My first published critique of the intellectual collapse happening in Team USA -- due to proliferation of pseudoscience, conspiracy theory, and anti-intellectualism – was published in 2005. Twenty fucking years ago. Where? Not in the USA. No way. But in Europe! -- Where it was included in an anthology published by very prestigious publishing house. With my name on it. -- What were y’all fans of Raygun doing in 2005? Since finishing my PhD, I have written dozens of articles and books about art, science, technology, philosophy, culture, film, and so on. Nothing to do with MAGA or Trump or Raygun. Hardly “monomania,” My works are sometimes informed by the great stuff I learned in my PhD from UT-Austin. I also create art, albeit stuff on the artsy-fartsy fringe, some on the “ledge” as the term is here. Rather than be in a silo like most artists and thinkers, I am interested in lots of stuff. Some of that includes politics, the deeper issues causing the politics. -- To that end over the past 10-15 years, I published systematic critiques of MAGA, the Border Wall, Q conspiracy, pseudoscience, cultural collapse, fascism, theocracy, Homeland surveillance, doublethink, and so on. Not rants, not insults, but thoughtful critiques written than anyone could get. About 15 publications in various places, in books, academic journals, and even in online pubs. Not hidden behind an avatar. Not zillions of readers, but dozens to hundreds to thousands. All in public, with my name on them. -- What did most of my liberal friends say: Nah, it’s not that bad. This will pass, etc. Liberals! (I have no conservative friends, as you might imagine. For record, I don’t hang out with active Democrats, either.) ELECTION 2024 The day after the November election, I had coffee with a civil liberties lawyer, who is also an old friend. His recommendation. Start scrubbing the online stuff. NOW. Why? -- The medievalists and fascists are coming, the American cultural and political mind is closing, free speech will be a joke, and the arts/academic organizations will not want to fund anyone or anything that might get them in the MAGA crosshairs. -- So I scrubbed what I could. I know others did -- There are days I feel like a fucking coward. Like sick to my stomach. -- Other days, I am just hoping I don’t get in any crosshairs. -- I don’t want a FAFO moment and leopards eat my face. I do okay with $$, but I am not rich enough to split the USA. Still I need funding for income, want to get paid support for my projects, and don’t want to deplete savings and investments. -- Surly friends, the fears are all-too-real in the art and academic worlds. I have friends and colleagues who are people of color, LGBTQ, atheists, liberals, leftists,. and so on. All fearful and sense it is going to get much much worse. TLDR: You can love your Raygun, but some of us knew when Raygun and Falwell got on the stage, big-time trouble was brewing, especially if they got their team in power. They’re in power … heading for total power. And I was out there in the so-called marketplace of ideas, naively doing my minuscule best, to alert people to the dangers. With my name on it. In pubic. What the hell were you doing with your name on it? I am out on this topic. Adios. -

I love you and respect your opinions - but if found guilty, death by firing squad seems especially appropriate in this case. -
QB1 Arch Manning: Doing his best JAG impression to fool scouts
Hank Kingsley replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
He didn't play well two weeks ago, but clearly yesterday was WAY worse than SJSU game. -
Bad deal if you’re in most of Texas without RZ, stuck with Giants at Cowboys only for the noon slate.

QB1 Arch Manning: Doing his best JAG impression to fool scouts
6th Street replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
Generally you want your QB taking more snaps to gain experience. However this is having the opposite effect, where Arch is actually getting worse with more snaps. -

wood replied to msbesq's topic in Cloak Room
Every time I think I have a grip on just how many utter idiots there are, I soon discover that I've understimated that number yet again. And badly. I used to think I've been too hard on Americans re: their ignorance and stupidity. I've finally come to understand I've actually been far too optimistic about it. -

It don't make a shit. Reposting here because it's relevant. Only 1 of 3 possibilities exist. 1) Arch is and always has been shit and nobody in all of his professional level personal training in HS and college, family of NFL QBs or 2 full fucking years at Texas under Sark caught that reality. So for 2 fucking years and 2 games played Sark didn't see the issues and make plans/moves in the portal or otherwise for a good alternative. 2) Arch was great but was absolutely hampered upon arrival at Texas by the coaching staff. We saw a 5 star and NFL drafted QB slowly lose his self confidence, execution and leadership under this staff. It might well be that the time he spent at OSU made him as good as he was since the performance curve dropped the longer he was here. Also, it may be that the offensive game plan didn't fit his abilities well and Sark was stuffing a square peg in a round hole. All of these could absolutely be true for Arch and there is a very clear example of it occurring here already. 3) Arch is hurt and the staff is keeping it under wraps as the alternative options are even worse. Remember this exact same argument in the Ewers thread? Well, it turns out to be true. Those are the 3 options, and there are no others. Ever single fucking one of them points to shitty head and offensive coaching work. All of them.

I like Tyler but this is a silly comment. Ty has already given up as many pressures, sacks, and holding penalties as Zach did in the first 10 years of his career. He's not in Martin's tier.... probably never will be. Let's not resort to hyperbole. He's a good player though, but get's lost sometimes and definitely gets beaten.
-
This would assume they watch film. After SJSU. We saw the same issues the next week.
-
I disagree 100%. What if Sark outfitted the WR group with little people? And instead of having them run routes, just told them to go lay down on the turf somewhere. Manning’s pass completion percentage would soar.

I have zero concerns going forward [OP is a Fucking Liar]
Nicole44 replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Two is most definitely true. I think the jury is sadly still out on your first point bc of his play yesterday in particular. We don’t know what happened in fucking practice this past week and I sure wish those making statements about it would add some more clarity to what happened. Sark’s defensiveness about an “injury” to Arch makes people think Three still is in play. Does it happen that everyone is wrong about a particular player? Yeah. But I truly from the bottom of my heart do not believe that people are wrong about arch. I look at what happened to Ewers and how he was broken down and he wasn’t truly built back up and that is in sark. So I think your second point is the answer at least since we now have five years to look at and I’ll be damned if his stints at USC and Washington aren’t omens for where we are now. My two cents, good post above. -

Simms' first start was on the road against A&M as a true freshman. He had more passing yards against A&M in half than Archer had against UTEP in an entire game. VY's first start was as a redshirt freshman against Iowa State. Colt's bad game was against Ohio State. He looked quite good in his other games. Ewers was crushing before the injury. Do you really think any these are comparable to struggling, and that's putting it mildly, against fucking UTEP? At their very lowest moments, none of those QBs ever performed has badly as Arch did yesterday, especially taking into account the level of competition.
-
Not a rhetorical question - How much time do we think Sark actually spends coaching the QBs? Like, is he in the meeting room with them every day or is Milwee leading all of that? I suspect the latter given all the other head coach responsibilities. Also - yeah Guilbeau has been the biggest weak spot on defense by far. Teams aren't even throwing at MM and Littleton has been solid. Guilbeau has been overmatched every game. Maybe the other backups suck but sure seems like Guilbeau should move back to slot behind Littleton.
