    Where are the bubble screens? Where are all the passes he would dial up for Ewers?

    Sark probably thinks Arch’d miss those targets, too, and we’d be looking at several losses on backward passes and a few fumbles. I know i’d stay away from those throws. He needs to sit. May need to transfer to SMU.

    Unless you have the in-context video, that's the kind of shit that deserves some healthy skepticism until proven otherwise.

    Let's be better.

    NO! Fuck that shit. That is how we got here. Trumptards understand this is a war for the soul of the nation. Libs whine about how mean they are. That's how we fucking got here. Rid yourself of that shit.

    Truth is irrelevant. Power is all. Learn that or just go ahead and line up for a boxcar.

    New truth: Fox News advocates extermination of the homelss by any means. Repeat it. Rinse. Repeat it again. FUCK THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE.

    Or just go gentle into the night. Those are your choices. Half measures are tantamount to surrender.

    The right can do or say whatever they want at all times and the left has to be perfect.

    It's way past time the left stopped holding itself to that, or really any, standard. That's the first step to making the media have to treat the left and the right equally. Unfortunately, that'll never happen, because the left loves to "but ackshually" and purity test itself more than it loves winning and taking/keeping power. Power is ALL that matters. Truth is irrelevant. Facts are irrlevant. Fairness, kindness, decency and so on, completely irrelevant.

    No one is coming to save us. We're bordered by oceans and two countries that are, combined, less than half our size by population and about 1/7th our GDP. No one will stop whatever our holocause looks like. No one will prevent whatever the worst impulses of the hateful Right triumphs over the coming decades. I give us little chance to change course, but if there is any chance, the left has to start playing by the rules in place right now. Learn Calvinball and play to win for a change.

    Well we can tell which Surly posters were "Young Conservatives" or Republicans at UT.

    -- Those still defending their Teflon God: Ronnie Reagan.

    For the record, I was "defending" a generic rotting corpse's governing ablities vs. our current fucktard. I gave a speech in a class (in the CMA, IIRC) on the virtues of The Communist Manifesto, though, I will admit, I tailored it from a centrist perspective. That semester I also wrote a paper on the probable unlikeliness of Jesus's divinity, though I was hesitant to go as far as @BrickHorn and others would have and argue along the lines of a Christ myth theory (that JHC was not a real person, but merely a symbol meant to lead one on a journey for truth). What's the point of me saying this? Get over yourself. You don't have a monopoly on fuckall, let alone how anyone should think about historical figures. Your posts of late have been the worst kind of purity testing pablum, neither insightful nor particularly interesting. Get a new schtick.

    Don't get me wrong, if you can separate their racism from the art (often difficult because of the racism in the art), Wayne and Ford made some iconic fucking Westerns. 

    But Jimmy Stewart and Randolph Scott both made better ones.

    For the people who listed the cons of offensive play calling, I have to seriously ask what you mean. This was 99% execution. Receivers were schemed open on just about every play. The passing plays in the red zone offered high percentage options and had the pass that got broken up been thrown on time it's an easy TD and we're praising Sark here

    I'm with you everywhere on the field except inside the opponent's five.

    LOL what?  I didn't love the play-calling but there comes a point when passers need to pass and receivers need to catch.  Kudos to the running game and the defense.  I don't care who the opponent is, 14 pts should at least get you to overtime.

    Agreed. Not sure we’re disagreeing about anything.

    Arch had a bad day. Sark had a worse day. We’ll go from here.

    Reverse that. Arch had a miss rate we haven’t seen since Swoopes. That stat is the difference in the game. The only argument Sark had a worse day is if you think Arch should’ve been pulled at the half. Arch was ass. Sark manufactured more yards, first downs and 3rd down conversions than the opposition despite that. With a replacement level QB, Sark produces a win.

    What is Arch doing when he raises his elbows when he goes on the field, and several times while he's out there?  Is he just loosening up (more than anyone I've ever seen) or is it something he's wearing that feels like it is too tight?  Maybe try putting him in a tank-top ("wifebeater" shirt) and see if that makes him more comfortable?  I noticed him doing that last year too.  Maybe it really is that simple - get him a different undershirt.

    Glasses, undershirt, whatever it takes.
