  1. Most of you know by now we have Good Sark and Bad Sark. Bad Sark is the egotistical Sark that wants to run his stuff no matter the talent level or ability of his players to execute it. @Nicole44 made a brilliant observation when she said it's like he is auditioning for something, and just wants to run plays to show what he has. After she said that we find out that maybe he was. Curious. Anywho, Good Sark shows up when the team's back is against the wall. It just goes to show you that HE KNOWS what would work and would be more efficient. I couldn't begin to understand why he doesn't roll out Good Sark more often, but folks we are currently seeing good Sark. I'm not sure how long he is here, but let's enjoy him while we got him! For those here that say things like it was the line. The receivers got better. Arch unfucked himself. The truth is all those things being fucked had to do with the complexity of what Bad Sark was asking them to do. Everyone here that was peeking over the fence, hoping we could have Joey Freshwater's offense, well you saw it this Saturday. We spread the field. Got the ball out. Simplified Arch's reads. Ditched the complicated routes. The result is not only did Arch come alive, but spreading the field and getting people away from the box helped the line and RBs too. Let's get into it! First play of the game and we line up in 11 personnel. Does anyone remember number 2 for Vandy in the slot? Well I do. They blitzed him 10 times last year. Good Sark does too. He motions Wingo to the field side anticipating them firing their nickel. The safety now has to spin down to make a play and that allows the slot receiver plenty of time to make a block. The closing LB never has a chance against an athlete like Wingo in space. Touchdown. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa.mp4 Again, we roll out in 11 personnel. Good Sark understands that Vandy wants to bring extra guys, and they are bringing 5 on this play. Yeah, this play is a little cute but well designed. Everyone knows we are an Outside Zone team, and we freeze their 5 man pass rush by showing Outside Zone blocking with a bunch of eye candy in the backfield. Meanwhile the line is just naturally flowing frontside to block the throwback screen Sark has dialed up. Sark gets 5 clean blockers out front of the best returner in college football. Terrifying for any defense. If we are a little quicker to decide who to block here this gets to the house. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_1.mp4 We are in 11 personnel spread wide in a 2x2 set. Sark is making Vandy defend superior athletes in space. At the snap we just throw it out to Wingo and let him make a play. I said before Wingo needs Worthy's package because he is most effective when you can get it to him quickly and let him do the rest. Sark knows Vandy's corners are going to bail out which leaves the box defender responsible for closing on Wingo. In space. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_5.mp4 We come right back to the same play. 11 personnel in a 2x2 set. Notice the time and quarter. Notice the difference in the box for Vandy between this play and the last. Last play Vandy had 7 in the box and got popped on the outside for a big gain. This time they come back with a 6 man box and cover 3 behind it. Sark has manipulated the box, forcing them to pull a man to deal with these quick throws to the outside. That helps create space for the running game. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_6.mp4 Opposing teams have a guy on the sideline who's job it is to spot our personnel groupings and send in the appropriate response. Sark trots out his heavy package. 12 personnel. However, instead of lining up in a heavy run formation, we go 5 wide. You are forcing them to play zone or have LBs out covering routes. We give Arch a nice and simple 1/2 field read here. Arch knows that with the coverage they are in the corner is going to bail and the DB over the slot has responsibility for the flat. We fire the slot receiver vertically but with an outside release to occupy that man, and the outside receiver runs a simple stick route. Simple pitch and catch. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_7.mp4 Again 11 personnel. We run the tight end on a quick crosser to occupy the LBs and then run a delayed slant behind it. Pay attention to the O-line. The LG gets beat but the ball is out so fast it doesn't matter. A couple weeks ago this is a sack. You can make a shaky line look competent by just getting the ball out. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_8.mp4 Every time Sark catches them trying to add numbers to the box Sark reminds them that they have other responsibilities. 4 wide again with 11 personnel and we throw the quick out to Parker. Pay attention to our Left Tackle here. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_9.mp4 2nd and 6 and Sark knows Vandy wants to blitz. We are 4 wide. Vandy brings 6 and Sark has a screen setup to the boundary. Great call. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_11.mp4 11 personnel. Sark motions late to a 3x1 set knowing he is going to get zone to that side. The slot runs a simple curl to occupy the flat defender while the outside receiver runs a simple comeback route. Easy pitch and catch here. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_12.mp4 11 personnel. This the fake receiver screen to wheel route we like to throw. A couple games ago we tried to run it but it wasn't there. I mentioned that a smart QB will come back and throw it to the faker since it will be open. I was told that was nonsense and QBs are supposed to run the play as its drawn up. Here is an example of us doing that with great success. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_13.mp4 11 personnel. Here is an example of how Sark can manipulate the coverage with 5 receivers while simultaneously giving Arch quick and easy reads. Sark slips the back out center left knowing he is going to draw the attention of the MLB. However, we are working the slot defender. We run a curl right in front of him to hold him so Arch can hit the quick post behind him. Easy pitch and catch. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_14.mp4 11 personnel. This play is basically the same as the last play but we get to it differently. This time the TE runs a crosser that occupies the defender and we throw the same post behind it. Up to this point, this is the longest time Arch has held the ball. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_16.mp4 11 personnel. We motion Parker and now we know we are getting zone. We know the corner is going to bail to cover 3, so we are working the flat defender here. If he is slow to respond to the speed out we throw that, but if he jumps it the TE is sitting with a curl. Nice and easy read for Arch here. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_17.mp4 Again with 11 personnel with 4 routes releasing to one side. We fire two verticals to occupy the safeties, then slip the RB out to occupy the underneath defender, all but guaranteeing the speed out to be open. This is where Arch has shown growth. Old Arch stares down the vertical here. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_18.mp4 Here is another Arch growth moment. Old Arch doesn't see this checkdown and is sacked by the DE the LT has lost control of in the face of this blitz. This Arch has this ball coming out before the TE is even set. You love to see it! 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_20.mp4

  4. I'm really hoping that Manning doesn't play tomorrow. It has nothing to do with how he's looked in prior games. It's just hard to believe that the guy will be fully healthy and able to run the offense in just 7 days from the injury. There's a bye week next week. Just take another 2 weeks to get fully healthy and ready for Georgia.

  9. Cypress will apparently flip the CFISD school board back to sanity. Book banning right wing "Christians" had a 6-1 majority and 3 trustee positions up for reelection. All 3 elections are being won easily by people with brains right now. If anyone wants some hopium then just consider that fucking Cypress just rejected the Christian nationalist takeover of education. Well at least the ones who voted. Between 47-48k votes.

  10. Surly Usual Suspect Game Thread and/or Arch thread commentary/analysis prediction for post-game tomorrow: Caldwell Starts, Loses: Fuck Sark. Please leave for the NFL. Too much of a pussy to play a healthy Manning because of Woke optics and it cost us the season. Caldwell Starts, Wins: Caldwell Should Starts! Sark is such a fucking moron. We would clearly be a 1 loss top 5 team if he hadn't promised Manning the starting job and played the best available after OSU. Manning Starts, gets re-injured: Sark should be fired FOR CAUSE immediately for playing a clearly concussed player. No buyout. Get the lawyers on it. Manning Starts, Loses: Sark is a moron. Playing a clearly injured Manning cost us the season. Please leave for the NFL. Manning Starts, Wins: Half of Surly finds 10 different things to bitch about and are miserable in victory regardless. Half of Surly is convinced we don't lose another game until Fall 2027 (at the earliest).

  11. CA prop 50 passing in a landslide is a very nice fuck you to Abbott and Trump. Great job guys. As someone who donated to that effort, and as an American who hates fascism, I feel like I won something last night, even though I didn’t cast a vote in CA.

But my good friend Marta Fluckiger said I hadn’t written the perfect country song because I hadn’t said anything about precision watches, chocolate, the Alps, or neutrality, so…… I was higher than the Alps the day my mom got out of prison And I was late, because my watch ran out of precision By the time I arrived all the chocolate had melted I blamed sissy for the mess and mama’s neutrality left my ass unwelted

  20. Actually.....not a coffee shop, but a couple of years ago, I ordered Whataburger breakfast curbside (I still dig the jalapeno cheddar biscuit). I park, employee brings out my order, gets to my window to hand it to me. It's clearly either a transgender (m to f) or transvestite person. In any case, had perfect makeup, earrings, etc. - really put some effort into her look for the day. It actually spontaneously make me smile, and I said "your look is on-point today" - she lit up with a great smile. That's it, that was our total interaction. Why in the fucking FUCK would you choose to not like that person, or even insult or hurt them, when you could just pay a compliment and be rewarded by a smile, and knowing you made another human being happy for a moment? Seriously, what the hell is wrong with us?

  21. I like to think of myself as a patient person, but the last three weeks - during which we have not lost a game - has done more to engender my hatred for half the people on this site than the entire firs four seasons of Sark’s tenure. I’m an emotionally stunted retard and even I can see that y’all can’t process anything that doesn’t pass through your angry emotional filters. Sark and PK played this game exactly how you are supposed to. That’s what made the officiating so egregious. Also, Gilbeau to too dumb to play DB. Fire Akins for playing him, I guess? but you morons who are still complaining despite Sark and Manning’s having one their best games of the season need to go. The fuck. Away.

Not counting the final kneel down drive, Texas had 4 second half drives. 2 scored points and 1 had no points due to a horrendous no-call 11 plays, 93 yards, TD, 5:15 11, 51, FG, 5:31 (phantom hold on Shannon) 10, 32, missed FG, 5:57 (no flag on obvious PI in end zone) 4, 14, 0:49 (useless run on 3rd down and the fake false start) 3 of our 4 drives took up more than half the second half

  30. I've known Scott since 1967. I left John Bianco a voicemail the day of Scott's heart attack, knowing that the UT Athletic Dept. would want to know, and I hoped he would get the local and even national coverage he deserved. It was great that he was honored on the game telecast. Coincidentally, I missed it because I had left the game just prior to the announcement to sit on my patio and drink a bottle of wine to medicate myself after what I had seen during the Florida game up to that point. My thanks to whoever posted the replay of that recognition. I've made sure UT Athletics is aware of Scott's condition at this point too. This whole sad tale reminds me of a Scott Wilson story when his original orange Caddy convertible made its final stop on the side of the road in Oklahoma while Scott was returning home from a Big 12 game in Kansas. Even though the vehicle was done, he paid to have it towed back to Texas because he felt "it wouldn't get a Christian burial in Oklahoma." Now I look forward to Scott's final return to Texas.
