  1. Up until the last 2 games, I thought Quinn was clearly ahead of Arch in his ability to diagnose coverage's pre-snap, and to get to his 2nd and 3rd reads on passing plays. Arch, on the other hand, had the advantage of using his legs, and throwing the deep ball. So it seemed to me Quinn had a better overall grasp of the offense and how to get the ball to the correct target and to move the ball down the field, where as Arch was the better athlete and could make some things happen because of his athleticism, but might be more inconsistent due to lack of experience. But, after the last 2 games, it looks like Quinn has regressed mentally and lost confidence. He is hesitant and playing to not make mistakes, which of course is leading to more mistakes. It didn't really matter against OU, but Georgia is a different animal. Georgia sped him up and really got into his head. If he can't get his confidence back and his head straight during the Vanderbilt game, it needs to be Arch time. I wouldn't give up on Quinn yet, but he needs to be on a short leash.
  2. I’m getting that on Tenn vs Alabama game.
  3. It certainly isn't a given that OU can win another game in the SEC this season. If they lose the rest of their conference games this year, Venables might be gone. This is his 3rd year and his offense is hot garbage. He has completely fucked up their QB situation, and their offense. He is at least is partly responsible for how that has been handled. He might get another year by replacing his OC, but I wouldn't count on it. I can't see their decision makers being very patient with him. Good DC but in over his head as HC, imo. On the other hand, maybe they are dumb enough to let him stay a while. They're due a down cycle.
  4. This team just doesn’t have the chemistry at this point. They can look good at times, but too often look like they do in this second set. Defense is average, block is not good, and hitters just not terminating.
  5. Middle block is way late on the pin sets.
  6. Gordon talking shit after every play.
  7. Offense is bad. New middles are a work in progress.
  8. It's all so predictable. Let's air all his dirty laundry after he has left them standing at the alter. Had he turned down the UT job and stayed at A&M, he would have been praised as an Aggie god. I mean no coach, certainly not Nick Saban or even Mike Leach, has ever supposedly mistreated a player and pissed off mommy and daddy.
  9. Better keep scoring runs.
  10. This is what I have seen this season. The pitching staffs’ of several of the teams we have played this year are as good or better than what we are trotting out on the field. Of course, how much of that is a result of our “pitching coach”? That’s not the expectation or the norm at Texas.
  11. We’ve K’d 7 to their 3, and issued 5 walks, they’ve walked 0. Hitting is cold tonight, but their pitching has been pretty good.
  12. His control is not so good to first!
  13. Well, it’s seems pretty good tonight…typical.
  14. Haha! Yeah, sad really.
  15. This guy is throwing a 94 - 95 fastball, and has a good curve with good control out of their bullpen, really? Looks better than our starters.
  16. So 2 batters 2 walks. Good bullpen work.
  17. This team, for the most part, sure likes to chase the high cheese. Which leads to strikeouts and a lot of pop ups.
  18. Nice to turn the tables on these asshats. Sure would be nice to take the series tomorrow.
  19. Seeing eye single.
  20. No lead is safe with this bullpen.
  21. So I guess Ace is now the “ace” of the staff… Quite the staff Pierce has built.
  22. Definitely seems to be the case. But, imo, the pitching seems to be down this year. Only one strong starter, no real closer, and an inconsistent bullpen that struggles to throw strikes at times. Hitting is inconsistent but decent overall. Hopefully they can put them both together more this season.
  23. So what’s been the bigger overall problem this year hitting or pitching?
  24. It’s just a bad night overall, but the point was our bullpen isn’t great. Tonight there's was better. It happens in baseball, but the pitching this year sucks.
  25. So our bullpen comes in throwing 86 to 87 with poor control. But their bullpen is throwing low 90’s with good control? Seems about right.
