  1. Past hour
  2. Well, if I step back and look at the big picture, there is one thing I love about Manning! He actually scores enough points leading the offense, to allow the backups to come in and get some reps. Last year under Ewers, we would manage to keep games much closer than they should have been, and therefore, Manning got a LOT fewer live reps last season, than most folks (Me) expected. Manning got the majority of his snaps last year because Ewers was injured, rather than mop up duty. My hope is that this season we can indeed blow out the folks we are supposed to blow out. Simply so that whoever our backup QB is going to be when called upon gets some live game reps. To me, getting whoever the back QB reps with live game pressures is always going to be a priority for me. Simply as it's difficult for any QB to survive a complete college season. and it's a lot better to get reps when a little is on the line than everything on the line. You see, I still remember in the NC game when Garrett Gilbert was throwing darts when Colt McCoy went down that were simply much hotter delivery than our receivers were accustomed to. And they were not caught. Was this because Gilbert was too excited? Making the balls hot? Or was that just how hot his throws were normally? Who the fuck knows? We don't know because we did not get our backup QB enough reps in live games. Getting your backup QB live reps, if you want your team to TRULY compete for the top honors, you need a backup QB that has taken live reps in real games with the first team receivers. IMHO. Anyhow, Manning is on a good trajectory, and maybe, just maybe, we can do our jobs well enough this year to get those very valuable reps to whoever might be forced to step in if Manning goes down. When we look at what it takes to develop a championship level team, usually what you are looking for a quality two deep, where you do not have much fall off, moving to the second man up. The one spot that seems to often be overlooked it that backup QB. Getting that backup early (and often) live experience, and be the difference between winning and losing later in the season. My prayer is Manning continues to put up enough points to get out backup QB's some quality reps. That's insurance to me!
  3. No no... you aren't allowed to comment stuff like that. You have to pretend like Arch isn't already an improvement over the last guy that took snaps here.
  4. Five children huh? Sounds like that Irish bitch is poisoning the blood of this country.
  5. US dominates GB&I in the Walker Cup 17-9. Still a good watch as it was played at Cypress Point.

    RIP Rick Davies

    Damn. RIP Crime of the Century was a hell of an album.
  16. Yes. We will beat the piss out of UTEP. What you said about arch is why I’m down. I saw an offense that’s less talented than we’ve had the last 2 years but able to be overcome with dynamism at QB. If Arch was great and a force multiplier it would overcome Quinn’s weaknesses and we’d be better. That doesn’t look like the case. That’s the problem. Sure. I thought in year 3 arch would be ready to be really good. If he’s a 1/1 guy you are looking for generational type play. Not perfection right off but more than we are getting now. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe go fuck yourself gif. You think Sark is happy about what we are putting on film right now offensively? I doubt it. Whenever we struggled against teams like rice during Mack we were good, not great teams. That’s driving my concern here. Feels a lot like 2002 type teams. Yep. also- whoever quoted Htwown thanks for nothing. He eats paint chips. I didn’t bet this game and bet almost nothing. I also probably have less than 5,000 a year at risk in total bets and finish within 1,000 of break even one way or another as is the case when you make a ton of 25 and 50 bets. I spend way more on vacations, Astros tickets and longhorn travel as far as entertainment goes. The idea that a couple small bets (I didn’t make any so far this year other than my season bet which is still in good shape) would color my perception of this team is as dumb as he is. If anything gambling sharpens looking at all the teams we play with clear eyes and avoiding the fucking idiotic takes from last week like “this teams ceiling is 9-3”. Uh, not it’s not dipshit, teams play other teams and we are better than every team on our schedule right now. I have one season bet with Doc OU and that’s that we go 10-2 or 11-1 and are favored every game. As I made abundantly clear our schedule sucks and I fully expect to go 10-2 or 11-1 and make the playoffs and probably lose in the quarters or semis when we play a team that takes advantage of us beating ourselves. I thought this team was going to be national title good. It’s early and we still might get there, but it’s not particularly close right now and won’t get there unless and until arch plays like a 1/1 kind of guy.
