    The lack of holding calls now at all levels of football is an epidemic that needs to be addressed....it's out of control

    It really is bad across the board. Some league refs seem worse than others (Pac and Big XIi bad, SEC and B1G better) Then there are stupid ass refs groups with motives. (See CFP and Big XII for data points).

    Smith is an idiot. If Blank keeps him around, so is he.

    Penix would wake up the franchise and have them in the playoffs pronto. They certainly have other needs, but QB is the biggest of them. 

    1) New head coach with a clue

    2) Draft Penix 

    3) Pick up good DE

    4) Win Super Bowl

  3. I'll restate something I already have multiple times.

    Winning the last Big XII before moving on was awesome.

    Playing an amazing game against a very, very good Washington team was inspiring. It was bonus time for me. I was glad to see a great game. I was glad to be there, literally me being at the game and the team making it.

    I have some issues with the coaching in the game.

    As for how I'm dealing with it.

    These are a group of 18-22ish year old college football players and 30-60ish year old coaches.

    I don't have any control over what happens on the field other than being there and cheering them on in support.

    I was and did.

    That's all I can do, and it's hard to see on the losing side, but it was a fantastic game.

    So, I enjoyed the party before the game that immamac put on, enjoyed the game itself, didn't love the result but viewed it as bonus time to start.

    I worked through the Bama game in 09. Enjoyed the USC game in 05. Was at the Washington game in 23/24. Let that set it, I personally got the privilege of being at all 3, win or lose, it's a privilege to be able to afford and attend those games. I'm grateful that I could and did.

    How am I dealing with it? I've got to work today and had to work yesterday.

    So I am.

    absolutely this.  was texting maxhorn in 1Q:

    RUN

    THE

    FUCKING

    BALL

    off tackle we were gashing them

    granted they started putting 7 in the box, then 6 on the line, but that was after we went away from the run

    sark is an offensive scripting genius

    but as the head corch you have to chuck the script when you find something that is 100%

    we should have kept going up the middle until they stopped it instead of stopping it ourselves

    To 2 different friends, text from the game from me..  typos and all. Screenshot_20240102_015318_Messages.thumb.jpg.bc71841f38fbdf1af832d785b6da5a4b.jpgScreenshot_20240102_015223_Messages.thumb.jpg.59ec77a30a7a6e2a3606d2d65a6ff593.jpg

    We were outcoached and outplayed tonight. No doubt. UW had a veteran team, and executed at a level we did not. 

    I think it very clear we were out coached or.. perhaps semantics, I Sark over coached offensively and we were out coached defensively. Now, to be clear I underestimated the W line. They're better than I thought, we had no answer to their Oline and O game plan. That was out coached.

    On offense, and I'm sure in this thread it's been beaten to death but I just got back from the game.. Sark had a shit early script leaning far to heavily on passing, imo. I think, running hard and often earlier might have been a punch in the nose for UW.

    We didn't, at all, much to our detriment.

    I'm not sold on Quinn getting where we need him to.. but hey, I wouldn't be a Texas fan without jumping into the QB controversy. That will play out in spring and if Arch is ready I belive Sark will lean winning over nice guy. His offensive arrogance in this game pretty much confirms that as I see it.

    Anyway, I said it before the game. I viewed this as game as bonus action. We won the Big XII on the way out.. I would have liked to face Michigan. 

    We aren't, I'm bummed, but I'm still happy with the year. Not sunshine pumping. If you had told me we'd be in the CFP at the start of this year, I would have laughed at you... so..  

    There's my perspective, it's worth what you paid for it.

  6. I knew it already, but sometimes is still shocks me how much Aggies really do invest more emotionally in Texas losing than A&M winning.

    It's so logically flawed and unique. I truly don't know of any group of fans so singularly focused. Sure, lots a fan bases hate Texas or some other school a ton. (Auburn - Bama/Spartans-Michigab/UOhio-Ohio State) but nothing I'm else aware is so focused on one specific team losing.

    One. Not their team winning, ONE team losing.
