    If Card’s strength is supposed to be his arm talent and ability to throw downfield, it clearly was not on display last night. I counted at least three deep balls where Sark schemed an open receiver downfield that Card missed. If he hits one or two of those, Odom has to change his scheme to keep safeties deep over the top on running downs. 

    Card, right now at least is not a running threat. If teams can drop 8 on obvious passing situations and he cannot punish soft fronts running, And if he cannot connect on deep routes to punish teams over playing the run, that really does not leave us much. It’s probably worth evaluating if he’s the right guy to start. 

    And its not that he just missed.  He missed them BADLY.  Balls soaring off to the right of the receiver, balls under thrown, balls over thrown, etc.  Guys were wide open and we missed them consistently. 

    I love the zip Card has on the intermediate throws, but his deep ball accuracy is terrible so far.  If we want to win this year, we cant keep putting a guy out there that doesn't have a complete game yet.

    TL;DR

    I watched the whole thing. I was expecting Card to be on a very short leash after the ULaLa performance. When the 2Q arrived and Card continued to miss open receivers, I was halfway expecting, and full-on praying, that Sarkisian would show himself to be the equal of Lincoln and put Casey in while keeping Card by his side to learn how to hang onto QB101 lessons learned... and possibly returning to the field after the in-game coaching. I am fairly sure that Casey would have jump-started the O regardless of the warmed-over dog shit play of the OL. I sincerely hope that we see Casey start at Rice, and that Card gets some play once we have a comfortable lead. 

    We needed a spark.  I think the game may look different if Casey starts the 2nd half.  Not saying we would have won, but the score couldve atleast been closer.  Its not Hudson's fault, but sometimes football is a game of momentum and when youre stalling with 3 and out every drive, you need something to put life back into the team.

    Also - hes a freshman, and its hard to be a vocal leader in that situation.  I think this team needed that last night.  Card just heads to he bench and sits there quietly.  He will learn how to be a leader, but for now, Id rather see Casey start and be the guy until Card feels more comfortable at the college level.

    IT has a narrative to push with Card being signed with them. No matter how much they deny it....(Eric tried calling out @THUJONE on IT...)  

    Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

    Look I like both guys, but I want to win now, im so fucking sick of these shit ass 7 win seasons that I dont really want to sit here and watch a young guy go under trial by fire and lose a bunch of games so he can learn by season 2 or 3 and maybe be good

    Card can still be the future of this program without starting him as a RS Freshman.

  4. One of the main reasons I wanted to go Casey this year was exactly due to what we saw out of Card last night.  The loss wasnt his fault, thats not the issue.  There were a lot of factors on why we lost (o line needs to be fixed ASAP).

    But Card was just not ready for that type of environment.  It was clear that the game was at a different speed than was he was used to.  

    Again, still on the Card train, but I wanted to WIN this year.  Not saying Card cant win, but with the younger guy, youre gonna have a lot more growing pains than you will with the Casey IMO.

  5. There should be reviews for any and all calls.  No reason there isnt.  Shit like this ruins the game more than anything else.  The technology is there and all reviews should not take as long as they do.  Its time for CFB to get with the fucking times.

    I mean with like one or two exceptions we've been mediocre or worse every season for over a decade, and we're about to head into this season with a totally inexperienced freshman QB, with yet another new coaching staff, led by a Saban assistant who has never done shit as a head coach. He quickly took Washington from being really awful to being OK and never improved from there at all, only to have them become best team in their conference the moment he left while USC... did not. If the results had been there on the field USC wouldn't have cared if he was shotgunning a beer on every play.

    It totally might work out. It could. But there's plenty of reason to temper one's optimism here.

    This is why I was so adamant about Casey being the starter before the announcement.  I want to win this year.  Shit, even Sark has said we arent preparing for season 3 or 4, he wants to win now.  I thought the safe thing to do in that case would have been to go with Casey, but I am super excited to see Card as the lone starter.  Im 100% on board.

    I was thinking that if we wanted to win right away, going with the safe option works best in that case, but if we can get the same performance out of Card and train him up for the next 3-4 years, we will have something special by the end of this thing.

  7. Sounds like both QBs are going to play in the first game based on that 24/7 article.  Card gets the start, but Casey also going to get some PT.  

    I think Card has "won" but if Casey balls out, we could see a different starter week 2.

    I just hope one of them balls the fuck out and ends the competition and cements themselves as the guy going forward.  I dont want a bunch of question marks heading into week 2 when shit gets real.

    zero doubt, eh? you should wager something, then. 

    i dont think its that big of a risk considering he already tried to transfer once when he saw sam was the cemented starter.  now hes been passed up by a RS freshman after he just threw for like 5 TDs in the last game. 

  9. I said earlier I thought we should go Casey, and still do to a degree.  But I trust Sark and these coaches.  If Card really is that much better, lets fucking rock baby.

    I hope Casey keeps his head high and in the game because chances are we will need him at some point during this season.

    It’s pretty obviously not dead even if they decide to start Card. 

    We are like a week away from the first game and the coach hasnt named anyone.  Its dead even.  If Card was a clear front runner, he would have been given the start already.

  11. Id much rather start with Casey, and if he sucks it up, go to Card.  I think its easier to go from Vet to Rook than the other way around.  Casey has been here, waiting patiently for his turn, and if he doesnt get it, thats gonna rock his confidence a bit and he will 10000% head to the transfer portal.

    I just dont see the point in starting with Card if its this dead even.  The nod should go to Casey in that case, let him pass/fail and then move on.  Card has a lot of that "back up qb" lust going on.  And as soon as he starts and Casey leaves, everyone will be clamoring for the guy behind him, like clockwork. 

    I trust Sark though.  If he says Card is the better of the 2, then lets ride.  But if reports are to be believed, Id go with Casey first then Card.

  12. Am I the only one that suspects that Tech is the one that ratted out ESPN if those rumors are true?  They are already salty about the Beard situation, and they have a pretty poor history with ESPN (craig james did kill 5 hookers afterall).  

    Either way, I dont get the plea from the Big 12.  Its like asking the employees of a dying company to stick around and work until the lights go off without looking for another job first.  Why would they stick around to make the Big 12 every last drop of money possible when they could bounce and secure their future for the next 10-20 years?

    Big 12 dumb.

  13. But think of these poor Big 12 schools that did nothing but talk shit about how bad Texas is and how they dont need them!  What will they do now that mommy and daddy arent there to keep their universities propped up!?

    Fuck.  Them.  Schools.

    Well maybe we might leave after all. Still, there’s no chance we’re leaving before 2025 ends. UT/OU said they’ll honor the remaining contract, and no one is fronting that buyout.  So I’m technically still right for the next 4 seasons. 

    0% chance of this happening.  We arent about to stick around for another 4 years in a dying conference while the playoff is expanded and the NIL gets out of control.  

    This season is already going a complete cluster fuck for us.  You thought the Ok St game was bad?  Just wait until you see what the Big 12 cooks up for us as retribution for this.  Its going to be ugly.

  15. Im so tired of reading posts from people that are sad about texas/ou leaving the other schools in the big 12 out of the discussion/move

     

    FUCK THEM SCHOOLS

     

    Fuck TCU, Fuck Baylor, Fuck Tech.  Theyve lived off mommy and daddys money for far too fucking long and the big 12 has shown zero respect for the money making machine that is Texas.  We along with OU kept that dying conference alive for an extra 10 years and got 0 respect for it.  You can miss me with the poor tech/baylor/tcu bullshit.  Fuck those mother fuckers.  Time for them to get out of mommy and daddys house and get a real job.

    Good luck you fucking losers.

  16. watched the presser and loved how coach beard wasnt afraid to talk about winning championships year 1.  thats the type of mentality I hope our football team has as well.  loved that he also mentioned that next year isnt an asterisk year, and its not a situation where we will be saying "oh just wait until he gets 'his' players here", a common excuse for teams that lose with a new head coach.  he looked at those common excuses and said fuck that shit, we are winning now.

    also love that he seems committed to bringing back former players to help build this thing right.  that is one thing that i felt we never utilized while Shaka was here, not sure if its because they were all Rick guys or what, but now that Beard is here, I hope they can feel comfortable coming back and helping him get this thing going.

    overall, we got ourselves a fucking basketball coach.  lets give him the time and patience that it takes to get things going.

  17. I get the feeling that Beard fucking hates us, despite being a GA here at one point.  They were saying Beard was in contact with the ACU coach before our tourney game and gave them tips on how to shut us down.  Seems like he has that extra fire every time we play against them too.

    Id be legit shocked if we got him.
