  1. Their "victory" party, now losers party, is at... Applebee's... Fuck me..I'm dying...
  2. Local news. The far right nutjobs who took over dfw area school district boards in 2020 were soundly defeated in Round Rock ISD. They funded candidate s for all 5 open seats and lost all 5 races. After touting their 11 races, 11 wins accomplishment in 2020, I am pleasantly surprised.
  3. Jabari "when the lights come on" Rice!
  4. No one has ever had a worse win-loss record either...these are the kind of records that belong to aggy...blowing their load on a meaningless recruiting title only to have the house of cards fall on their heads...
  5. Bijan averages almost a full two yards more running to Jones' right, than he does to Banks left.
  6. Either way, the KSU player quit football after that block.
  7. That's fair, and perhaps what Taafe has to offer is simply being in the right spot. Crawford didn't really have the opportunity to fuck up last night, but Taafe certainly found himself way too close to the LOS on multiple deep passing plays. I just don't see any measurable improvement from the defense when Taafe is in the game. So, which play was this? Crawford only started the first series, and all the plays were not really in his area. The QB keeper was the exception, Barron bit on the fake and tried to get to the RB allowing the QB to get outside. Crawford was covering a guy who basically ran a go route, but still managed to help limit the run to 5 yards. He was wide side of the field on the TD, where Deuce juked both Ford and Overshown to leave them covering nobody but grass.
  8. One other item not discussed; we have had two games in a row of extremely poor tackling. We have missed 40 tackles in these last two games. Johnson played 4 whole plays. The DBs can't play the whole game without rest. Kitan is better than Taafe/Blackwell even on his worst plays. Similar to Ford last year(not playing FT because of Brock), it makes no sense to limit the play of young talent, even when they struggle, by playing somebody who offers little more without any of the upside.
  9. and, consequently, the teams had some of their worst days rushing the ball... Yet, only 37th or so in yards per attempted pass. They have defended the 5th most passes in the nation, so passing yards will be inflated. all these superficial stats aside: root cause? run defense progress is solid, with room to improve still (no second LB, or speedy safety to fill gaps) the gaps in coverage between the linebackers/DEs needs to be addressed (LB coach? Safety coach? Both?) turnovers? (Two years bad at turnovers, PK! We have been bad at creating turnovers for quite awhile now.)
  10. Whose idea was it to make him catch blocks all last year? PK
  11. First, 5* QBs don't often follow the Ewers route. Graduate early, sit out of meaningful football for a full year. Ewers only action came against OSUs top defense as scout team. where bad habits (especially his) are reinforced more than they are corrected. Second, those 5* don't exist. None of 2022 5* QBs (Klubnick, Weigman, Simpson, Allar) have seen significant PT. 2021s(Huard, Vandagriff, McCord) are much of the same, only Caleb Williams and McCarthy have been the exception, both benefited from easing in to actual game PT their first year and more experience in the players around them. 2020s, neither Bryce Young or Stroud played their first year and both benefited from better players around them when they stepping in to the role. Then, there is the mess that is DJ Uigalelei. 2019s Spencer Rattler and Bo Nix lulz.
  12. Absolutely, RPM. I don't think his issue is mental, so much as footwork. I think he has really bad habits with his footwork and it will take more offseason time to iron it out.
  13. Neither would be anywhere near our ranking if they played our schedule. The benefits of being a non-power 5 is you get to look good in the lower top 25 rankings with poor SoS. When they fuck up and get too high in the rankings, they get bopped on the nose.
  14. For much of this batch of GOP: you either voted for Trump or you are the enemy and worth trying to block your vote. They just aren't that strategic.
  15. Trump absolutely wants DeSantis to lose but he is ready to cuck him.
  16. I believe in 2020 that tendency flipped to Biden by about +4% over Trump.
  17. Having said all that, our pff ratings are all significant improvements from last year, and best since 2014?: 2nd in the Big 12, overall defense (21st in the nation) 1st in the Big 12, run defense (12th in the nation) 4th in the Big 12, tackling (41st in the nation) 1st in the Big 12, pass rush (9th in the nation) 3rd in the Big 12, coverage (56th in the nation) 3rd in the Big 12, scoring defense (28th in the nation) Horrible at turnovers and getting off the field on 3rd down. 7th in the Big 12, 3rd down defense (90th in the nation) 10th in the Big 12, turnovers forced (111th in the nation)
  18. Shame he didn't get any development last year, sitting behind Brock for no good fucking reason. Ford is also tied for the team lead in INTs. No safety in sight on the INT leaderboard.
  19. We support the troops! * only when they agree with our opinion and vote the way we want
  20. As you all have pointed out, we got to the QB (32 pressures and 4 sacks) is a good night. As Sark eluded to after Tech, there remains a disconnect in coverage between the safeties and linebackers/DEs. They were targeted 20 times for 17 completions and 209 yards, 2 TDs. This has been the case all year. It comes as a surprise in some cases, assumed O would be adept in pass coverage. In other cases, it is not a surprise because we knew our safeties were slow and a weakness (Cook out didn't help).
  21. I believe the 2018 or 2019 NCAA rule change requires the ref to flag that play for 15 yards, as an illegal blind side block.
  22. It's almost like the Longhorn program has to go through a complete rebuild after a decade of incompetence and mismanagement.
  23. If Saban's dumbass doesn't go for two, that's a potential game winner
