That was me. I went into OU with remarkable little feeling or expectation. I'll just react to what I see. The brilliance and violence of the Texas defense was reminiscent of some of those intense option football games of the 70s. I grit my teeth at the futility of the offense, but it wasn't so much on Arch as the OL penalties and other holding calls. Arch didn't subtract, but, IMHO, he didn't add a whole lot either. But he was thwarted no matter what by the line. Second half, I'm edgy starting, and then Arch comes alive. He leads the offense to more spirited play. The defense plays like a group of angry, fleet hammers. Great! Now Kentucky.

Getting in was night and day difference. Way easier than this year and significant improvements in that respect so props to them for that. Our seats were in the upper west side and that big concourse they added is really nice. A ton more room up there. Massive fail though to whomever did the bathroom redesign. A men's bathroom with 2 urinals and 2 stalls (one ADA) to serve several thousand people is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Beer and Water sales were fine and plentiful where we were but food was nonexistent. Wife left 2 mins before half and took her until end of half use restroom and find someone selling CFA sandwiches. The 2:30 start makes it tricky as we typically get Fletchers around 10:30 or 11AM but then get hungry mid-game. Probably going to need to remember to grab some more food before heading into stadium next year.

Maybe. But he is also our second-best coach ever in terms of on the field results.
-
Arch is still slow on the trigger. He’ll get better of course over time. Sark has guys open every play pretty much. First reads especially. Arch needs to get faster with the trigger on those plays. He’s young and will get better.

Yes, they definitely take care of each other....never know who's going to be looking for a job, or who's going to be hiring, season to season. Or in UCLA's case, week to week.

I understand your sentiment, OU was ALSO a paper tiger waiting to be crumbled. Michigan as it turns out is mid, Underwood has a lot of growth to undertake. Their other P4 win was vs Auburn a team presently 0-3 in the SEC and they needed a blown call to get by said team.

Arch Manning: Doing his best JAG impression to fool scouts

Exactly. Arguing just to argue over who's right and who's wrong. Who gives a shit? We just fuck stomped our fucking rival. We should all be celebrating the e tire week and sign a peace treaty. -

I totally and completely agree. This is one of those years where I actually look at the team and tell myself one game at a time. That's all we need to do. Don't worry about Miss St, UGA, Aggy, whomever. Just One. Game. At. A. Time. Let Arch get more comfortable. Removing Sloh from the lineup was the best thing to happen. Unbelievable that it took being down by 3 scores to Florida for that to happen, but whatever, that's behind us now. Brooks is a beast. A young buck that will take game by game to get more and more comfortable. But it doesn't matter because his worst is still infinitely better than Sloh's best. Have you heard of any time table when Baxter might be back? I can't find anything. -
Yep. And it worked. And this is what I would love to see going forward. There was a real synergy between Arch and Sark yesterday and is something to build on. Sark taking what the defense is giving him and giving Arch the plan to execute for that individual opponent and him executing that. That will be amazing to watch if we can build on that shit. The team needed a rivalry game. A Golden Hat winner take all fight. They needed the release after the win to celebrate and be kids, to be reminded of how much fun winning is, we should be alright for Kentucky and that’s as far as I care to think ahead anymore.
-
I think they lose to Mizzou and Bama. Big. Tennessee and LSU are paper tigers. Ole Miss is the big pivot game.

Honestly the part I don’t get. We just won a very tense game against our biggest rival and there’s still a handful of posters here complaining just to win an argument. Guess what, most young qbs can get better. Enjoy the victory. If/when he sucks bs UK you can come back here and gloat. For this week, let’s take the W -
I know it don't matter shit but why did Ven keep in Mateer after we kicked the last field goal. That game was over. All he was doing was needlessly risking further injury to Mateer. If I were his parents, I'd be fucking pissed.
-
Pretty much WAS always the case. Listen, Sark deserves a lot of criticism for a lot of things, but play design isnt one of them. Yesterday was like he was told to hit the checkdown. Dude hit the checkdown yesterday more in one game than he had all season. There were still longer routes he was just prioritizing the short ones.
-
I think it’s more likely they get up for Tennessee the next game. That is one of their permanent rivals
-
With some absolute murders among those 9. He stole from us for several years. Fuck Mack Brown.
-
Some guys are built for this rivalry. Spence played yesterday that he is built for this rivalry.
-
Arch took that step, how he needs to take that leap. Kentucky will be that leap. They're fucked. Arch to Kentucky:

It’s because we need to figure out how to temper our expectations. (By that I don’t mean we shouldn’t expect to play well. And well enough to win the conference and well enough to play in the MNC and well enough to win that.) we need temper them to the game directly in front of us, take one fucking game at a time despite our need to look several games into the future and beyond. If most people just looked at Kentucky and what we need to do for that and then the next game and stop looking so fucking far ahead most people would calm the fuck down. I’m guilty of it too. I decided after Florida to simply look at one game at a time. I was far happier yesterday even when the first half looked like a clusterfuck. I was like next quarter. We will come out and smote them down. And we did. One game at a time. Shelve the fucking expectations except that we beat Kentucky. And move onto to next opponent. This looking to January shit is getting us all into an unnecessary tizzy. That and also looking at last year or the year before last like we have a Time Machine and can go back and change the way the playoffs went down. We can’t.

Why wouldn’t they have? It’s troubled Sark his entire time at Texas. They, like us probably didn’t expect arch to actually hit check downs or underneath routes because he hasn’t shown that all year -
I got to my seat a little earlier than usual yesterday. I thought the improvements were fantastic. The place looked so much nicer. The escalators were awesome, but couldn’t be used after the game because of the congestion at the exits. When I went to a drink vendor and the restroom, I was able to get there and back very quickly. I know that wasn’t everyone’s experience, but it’s an old stadium and cannot be made perfect. This stadium has come light years ahead since they added the upper decks in the end zone. I love it more than I ever have. So glad we don’t play in a vanilla stadium that’s more about amenities than football. Fuck OU!

13 points on 247 yards of offense is like when you get 2 runs off of 9 hits
-
Neither will I. But I can't wait for the "we lost to LSU, Bama, Tennessee, and Missouri and we're still breathing. I love it here" post
-
Kentucky gets up for one game a year (last year was UGA at home). I don’t think this is going to be easy.
