  1. Past hour
  2. This post does not scream “We’re Texas”.
  3. Yes. Hit him in stride and let’s see what the kid can do.
  4. Dude. Attacking the interior gaps while not rushing past quarterback depth so they dont escape out the sides is and has been standard operating procedure for running quarterbacks all our lives. The LG and the C suck but their numbers are even worse because thats where our opponents are sending the extra bodies. Every opponent from here on out is going to try and keep Arch in the pocket. As they should. Its not rocket science.
  5. A lot of local spots had found a way to keep Helo away one day a week, and you just ruined it.
  6. do you want an nba team or not ? on the flip side, sa to vegas has to be a cheap flight to go catch a game
  7. Here's the play and reaction with Wingo running off to the bench. Again, I understand the frustration. But it's the 1st quarter. It's concerning. arch wingo.mp4
  8. Me losing an argument in junior high.
  9. Yall some bitches. Back-to-back quarterfinals and everyone’s throwing a hissy-fucking-fit about a young team having to learn how to compete on the road in tough environments.
  10. I did not know that there was anybody left that thinks its in the publics best interest to fund a billionaires arena. I thought we all can see through that sham now.
  11. Sounds like another project. Great frame to grow into as an OT, but we don’t have the best development track record on the OL. Another Goosby seems best case scenario.

    Sark's problem as a coach is that he has multiple offensive players failing to execute their jobs competently. He calls and sets up plays that would work with simple baseline competency of the players of the offense. The execution problem can be caused by different reasons for different players: Youth: We're starting a new OL Poor development: Anybody who has been an OL for two or three years here should be competent. Same at QB. Poor talent evaluation: Might apply to OL; seems to apply to QB To my ignorant eyes, those appear to be the points of attack regarding coaching. If analysis shows that being OC limits Sark's ability to impact those areas, then you have a point. We were overrated due to Arch-mania (not Arch's fault). We're rebuilding an offense. It sucks, but it could improve over the off-season. With a good QB, we should be ready next year for what was predicted for us this year. There is a tendency in the humans to see a successful organization and believe all policies of that organization must be excellent. Never true. Conversely, when things go poorly, everything about the organization is shit. I'm not near ready to close the book on Sark.
  13. McCartney somehow held it together for that whole skit. I don’t know how.
  14. You would not have been impacted yesterday if you were running on AWS - you have reasonable multi-site DR configured and sensitive to DNS update. That's the biggest thing a lot of businesses overlook, really just because it's easier/cheaper to design around a single site/region
  15. I see this as potentially directed at Donald Trump. It’s a way of saying “who needs your tomahawks?” - we have our own icbms - and also saying that we are kicking Russia’s ass in this war and all of your stupid comments about Russia destroying us are obviously false. We are winners. We are strong. Russia keeps dunking on you, Trump, and will never win.
  16. lol, only an astros fan would actually believe that. it's a permanent stain.
  17. Let’s. Fucking. Go.
  18. I agree with a lot of this. I think you're 100% on point about the trust building/culture vs balling out on Saturday comment. People on this board think Sark is some kind of mystery, but he's really just stubborn for the sake of pulling a Herman and the I'm the smartest person in the building bullshit. But I really think you nailed it. So I keep beating this drum, but it also has to do with what I agree with above. The issue with Sark and his "trust tree" is it doesn't work in real time. In practice, sure. It's practice and it's zero sum. In real time he's missing the forest for the trees that he needs to make is play calls more in layman's terms for the younger players. Example A: McCutcheon has 4 catches for 52 yards for 13 ypc and a long of 26. He has yet to drop a pass. If the plays were simplified, we can see that this kid has juice and is extremely valuable. He's caught a pass in every game but two (UTEP and Kentucky). He's a perfect complimentary piece to Moore, and he can use them both at the same time, or give one a rest. Example B: Kaliq Lockett has 3 catches for 12 yards. He had 2 for 22 in game 1, was on the field for game 2 but recorded zero catches, and then had 1 catch for -11 yds, but that's not on him, that's on Arch, and then Sark just stopped playing him. I went back and looked at his catches against SJSU and he has extremely good hands and works for the ball. Same with Ffrench against SHSU with his lone catch of the season. But, of course, Sark doesnt want to use them for whatever reason (I assume RS year, and that's shit even Napier groans at), but I assume it's because the playbook might as well be written in Sumerian. If he would just use simplistic language (even tell Arch the play to tell who to go where) he could sit Wingo when he does his stupid shit like drop easy passes, and put in Lockett (same "X" position), while Ffrench can line up in the "Z" or next to the "Z" position, which gives Texas an ultimate mismatch. You can rotate Wingo, Livingstone, and Lockett (Lockett is the best WR with easily the best hands and isn't lazy and will fight for the ball, much like Smith, Wesco, Jr, and Ryan Williams, who all also play the "X"). Throw in Townsend or Washington in the "Y" and receiving has fixed itself (but Washington has to learn to block, and not "chip" block, and that's on Banks). Every person who has caught a pass more than 5 times has been in the program for at least a year (excluding Endries), so they know the playbook. Knowing and understanding are two different things, since we have all seen fucked up routes this season, and Endries is hit or miss (I don't know if he's just hit his ceiling as a player or what) If he would just dumb it down he would get more out of his #1 class offensively, which includes freak of nature Nick Townsend, who can do everything from catch, be a RB, blocker, whatever, and same with Michael Terry III (they might as well be one in the same, except I believe Townsend is faster, and Terry is quicker). Both are big mf'ers who have played RB, which if you're an intelligent human, we need in the worst way, and I believe would fix our RZ issues. We simply cannot keep punishing Wisner. Clark isn't getting yac if we're 8-10 yds away from the RZ, and Simon can't help but run into his own linemen (but man I love that kid. He's super quick but extremely uncoordinated atm). I don't know if Baxter is coming back this season, but we're only in game 7, but I use "only" lightly. Sark is so focused on his extremely dumb "trust tree" that he's holding himself and his offense back by using a wrench to fix Porsche, rather than all of the tools he has at his disposal. He's backing himself into a corner for no reason. He's essentially driving a Honda when he has a Rolls Royce or Lamborghini just sitting there. It's maddening.
  19. Jesus Fucking Christ. We held Ohio State, the undisupted #1 team, to 200 total yards and 2 scores (one of which was a miracle jump ball) in their house when our psychologically broken QB couldn't hit water from a boat. I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
  20. We all know how this is gonna end unfortunately. Wild we keep hiring these ego-tards.
  21. Before his stint at Florida, I had always considered Napier to be a very good QB coach. Now I don't know what to think.
  22. I think that it’s undeniably true that Americans commit more crimes than Finns or Danes, and the thesis “there’s more crime because of higher incarceration rates” strikes me as “high interest in trains causes autism” type reasoning. I think I can point to countries that have extremely low crime rates while having overly harsh—cruel even (Singapore)— penal systems that I wouldn’t want to model. So you’d need to look at them as well as the friendly Nords. America’s general lawlessness as compared to other developed societies has been remarked on for centuries, since before we were a country. There are likely some society-level interventions that might help that, but I am wholly unpersuaded that the focus should be incarceration rates and in a lot of ways addressing basic safety and security will be a prerequisite to success in other areas.
  23. Worked short term for this guy...
  24. This pleases me greatly
