  1. Casey does a much better job of climbing the pocket and doesn't bail near as much as Card, which helps these numbers as well.
  2. Yeah, what's the deal with Crawford. I kept hearing how good he looked preseason, and how much upside he has, but he hasn't gotten much paying time this season.
  3. They're due for some shit to blow up on them. QB controversy/problems sounds like a good starting point.
  4. Look it's fairly obvious now that Casey has more poise, confidence and is better at managing the game than Card at this point. But, Sark was evaluating these guys from practice and a Spring Game. It was reported to be a very close call and an extremely tough decision. Sark supposedly went with Card based on his ability to go through his progressions faster, which enabled him to get the ball out quicker and his ability to make accurate throws on the move when things broke down. Card just isn't there yet mentally, might never be, who knows. It's clear now Casey is the starter, but even after the UL game it looked like Card was going to be the guy. You can make the argument that Sark should have pulled Card earlier in the Arkansas game and he probably should have, but I think he was trying to see if Card had settled down after halftime. Posters claiming Sark made a monumental blunder by going with Card is just fucking stupid. But overreaction is what we do, so carry on I guess...
  5. It's not possible to simulate big game environments with a hostile opponent, on the road, in practice. Casey has maturity and composure, stuff that doesn't show up as well in practice. Card's just not there yet. Kinda like going from the driving range to the golf course. I hit it so well on the range...what the fuck happened?
  6. I watched the Midland Legacy vs Amarillo Tascosa game. I couldn't figure out why Tascosa didn't use Everhart more. Every time he touched the ball he looked like he could score. He had 4 rushes for 80 yards and 5 receptions for 92 yards, with 1 receiving and 1 rushing TD. Pretty efficient.
  7. Glad to be wrong on this one. Bad read. I thought there was some frustration coming from his side when there were a lot of picks coming in for Texas.
  8. I mean, isn't this a pretty big give away. Unless he's trolling, which he doesn't seem like the type.
  9. I don't know what the deal is with Collins but I hope he plays more this season. His lack of playing time was the biggest head scratcher for me, assuming there isn't something going on with him that hasn't been released. Jett was having a tough time holding the edge and was being handled fairly easily by whomever was blocking him.
  10. Tree has a good setter. Our middles are confused and consistently late on the block.
  11. Struggling in the first with tree…can’t pass. Surprise!
  12. The ultimate for the beer snob/craft beer types to show up and flex. In a crowded, hot stadium I'm going to the shortest line for cooold beer.
  13. It makes sense to me that NIL is somehow perceived as a threat to fundraising at Belmont. I mean I get more request for donations from every aspect of the University than the guy standing on the corner holding his "will work for food" sign. Phone calls, mailings, emails, you name it. If feels like the University of Texas Soup Kitchen at times.
  14. I don't know much about Flood's coaching history other than he coached at Rutgers and at the Atlanta Falcons. Was he developing and getting lineman drafted at Rutgers? I know he is highly thought of and has a great reputation. But, he did have some very high quality talent to work with at Bama which can make you look pretty good. His and our other offensive coaching staff's rep is our best selling point to OL prospects at this point (oh, and SEC).
  15. Are you playing golf there? Pretty nice and fun course, just bring lots of golf balls.
  16. Agreed, too much over dramatization. They Cloak Roomed it up and took away from the basis for the series. Totally different feel to this season IMO.
  17. Anyone with Abilene roots probably either knew or knew of Merle Greathouse. He owned a drilling company, Wes-Tex Drilling, until his passing. I'm not sure how he is portrayed in the movie, but he was a really nice man. Csb...
  18. What a tragedy. Gosh, just can’t imagine what that family is going through... Prayers to the Ehlinger family.
  19. If Texas keeps playing this level of D and Jhenna can continue to spread the ball around we ain’t losing.
  20. Ahh yes, the deafening sound of whistles as you walk in the building of big club tournaments, especially Lonestar.
  21. I'm looking for the J&J in Midland County, which are very hard to find. This weeks allotment shows 1,100 J&J doses going to the Midland DSHS. So I call over there to inquire, but they act like they have no idea what I'm talking about. Best I got out of out of it was they are just a distribution center, but they don't know where the vaccines are going nor do they have them yet. Maybe they are distributing to the prisons in the area.
  22. They are overplaying the passing lane. Fuckin back door cut!
