  1. Impossible situation for the committee. You either have to punish a team for playing the best team in the country, or drop someone for losing a conference championship game.
  2. Yeah. She is pretty tiny. But she carries these. That's how people end up in Town Lake.
  3. You might be fucking right. My wife usually peeks over my shoulder, shakes her head, then walks off.
  4. I want you to think about it. We've consistently run every woman off the football board dating back to shaggy. Look around.
  5. That's only as far back as I go. He was out there before that. Lol
  6. Lol. That's not even close in comparison. Derka has been on his shit since I hopped boards in 2008. That same unhinged bullshit for 17 years.
  7. That would literally light cfb on fire if that scenario happened.
  8. Again. Reread my post. It's not ONE person calling her that or one post. It's ad nauseam. I don't know how you don't see it. Maybe you don't visit enough threads.
  9. No man, people are over the top when it comes to her. It's one thing to clown someone for posting the same take. It's another when it devolves into weird personal attacks. One comment calling someone stupid or dumb is one thing. It's gone way past that. There are better ways to come after someone. She may be beating a dead horse but she isn't stupid or dumb as what she is saying is valid. None of us would take all the name calling. We would be looking for whoever that poster is at the next tailgate.
  10. Stop dude. All of us say stupid shit. For example, I can't seem to keep my posts to a single sentence. But you know what you guys look like relentlessly attacking her? I don't think I need to say it.
  11. You are right sir! Where the hell was that at? Still makes me ragey.
  12. I mean, when you put it like that and all.....
  13. Agreed big dawg, but rewatching that game made me wanna take a shoe and throw it through the tv. Lol
  14. I get all that and all but @Nicole44 is right. If you remember dumb ass Sark going for it on the goal line and coming away with no points. Coach did that.
  15. Did you see something wrong with what I said?
  16. I think our D-line had to do with why Stroh got mis-evaluated. We don't have penetrating, havoc causing DTs at the moment. Stroh probably held up pretty well against them. Had this been 2023, he would've been figured out at the first practice vs the 1's. Lol
  17. I don't think so, but it's not totally improbable. Watching Baugh at Florida run made me envious. This is 100% the problem. You end up with dudes who excel at something but none of them excel at the same thing. Look at our backs for example. Baxter is one cut and downhill, but we are and OZ team. Lol. Which is why Wisner looks so good because it fits his style. You are balls dead on target on what the problem is there. Mack Brown was like that. Just grabbing stars instead of building to a philosophy.
  18. I mean, does he though? When Sark talks about the O-line and "large humans", it seems like he is the driving force behind who we ultimately pick. It's entirely possible that Flood is the "I told you so" guy.
  19. To be clear, none of this was meant to show up any of you. You know who this was aimed at. So I apologize to anyone that caught strays along the way. Elguapo, it would be an ideal world if Quinn could climb the pocket there and evade the free defender. However, asking that is like coming home and getting mad at the 5 year old because they didn't cook themselves breakfast while your significant other slept in til noon. I am guilty of it too. I don't know how many times I've gotten irritated with Arch because he held the ball or didn't get it out to his checkdown. We humans love to blame people for not performing better in extremely shitty situations instead of asking WHY they are in those shitty situations in the first place. Look at how we view the poors. We are all guilty of it.
  20. Especially when you have an agenda.
  21. Milk men? That's not milk my friend!
  22. Go back to that 1st Georgia game. Quinn was clearly struggling in the pocket. I agree with you 100%. Then what did we do? We pulled him for Arch, who also came in and got sacked twice in only two series and fumbled the football. Again, we can say Quinn needed to handle the rush better and that would be true. However, you cannot consistently keep coming into these games vs the big dawgs with YOUR quarterback and YOUR running back constantly being the ones having to play in the shittier circumstances. I disagree that our OL was good enough to win a title. If you go back and watch us play whomever was lined up across from Hayden Conner consistently pushed him in the backfield causing our backs to have to re-route. Same thing was happening to Jake but not at the same frequency. We were consistently getting beat to spots and could not climb to the second level with blockers. We could do two things. We could pull and we could run OZ because Wisner is the kind of back that runs patiently enough to hit those lanes. Just to show you I am not lying I pulled 4 quick plays all from the SEC championship game of Hayden Conner. Watch them. Now think about these are just 4 examples from quickly skimming through one single game. SEC Championship Game || Texas vs Georgia_2.mp4 SEC Championship Game || Texas vs Georgia_3.mp4 SEC Championship Game || Texas vs Georgia_4.mp4 SEC Championship Game || Texas vs Georgia_5.mp4 As soon as we dropped back to pass vs a quality fronts DJ and Cam became a problem. They struggled handing people off while holding their depth, got a ton of penalties, and were the source of almost every bust in protection we had. You can be mediocre in pass pro and you can be mediocre in run blocking, but you cannot be mediocre at both. We were the second most penalized team in football last year, and most of that was the O-line. Same game as above. The DE stunts inside and just as I said Cam and DJ can't figure out the passing off process and Cam let's a free runner go right past him to his quarterback. Cam.mp4 You are 100% correct that we were and are too vanilla. That said, why are we not utilizing our talent better? 21 has proven he can be elusive in space. Where is his package? None of those receivers you have on the bench could help us with a jet sweep or two to occupy the send level? As you know, if you struggle to win the battle of strength, you need to make defenders pause long enough to give your line an advantage. But to my original point that I will keep beating until I am blue in the face. Michigan has a recruiting philosophy. They set their identity. Running the football. Then they go recruit dudes who are run blockers, and teach them how to pass block. Last year half the line could run block and the other half could pass block. We had no true identity, and thus struggled establishing an facet of the game.
  23. Look dude, what I think doesn't matter. The fact is that almost all teams played the pass first and you can tell that through film and alignment. Obviously Arch is superior at throwing the deep ball, but Quinn was superior at throwing everything else. You don't have to throw the deep ball well for teams to be scared of your passing game. If you are good hitting the crossing routes and such on the move teams will still keep their safeties deep for fear a well thrown crosser will get housed. You have to have layers to your defense. Georgia got a little to aggressive in the SEC championship and walked a safety down. Quinn pulled the RPO and threw a perfect ball that Dmo didn't have to break stride for and Dmo housed it. SEC Championship Game || Texas vs Georgia.mp4 Currently, everytime Arch plays good man teams he struggles because throwing with good timing and anticipation is his shortcoming. For examples, the ball that got batted away from Parker vs aggy was an out route that was thrown so late that Parker had to stop on the sideline to prevent from going OB. That allowed for the DB to recover and break it up. Throw it on the break that doesn't happen. Same with the interception vs Ohio State. Wingo runs an out route and instead of the ball being there on the break, Arch throws it when he is open. That allows the DB to undercut the route and pick it off. And that's okay because Arch Manning is still growing and isn't a finished product. He will get better at trusting what he is seeing and not waiting to see it, and when that happens he will be the best QB in the country. Look, both guys have their pluses and minuses, but that's not why they are losing games. They are losing games because everytime we get in a dog fight with a blue blood we lose the trench play contest. I don't care whether it is this year or last year they look exactly the same vs quality fronts. Shitty. Ohio State last year- 21 to 14 down the stretch. Quarterback play is roughly a wash. Difference in the game is they popped a big run for a TD just before halftime and we couldn't run the ball. We couldn't get a hand on their QB hardly all game and then with the game on the line our RT completely whiffs on his pass pro. Game over. This year vs Georgia they bottle up our run game without doing shit special and spy Arch, who runs 5 times for zero yards. Meanwhile Gunnar Stockton is back there behind his line doing whatever the fuck he wants. They run for 128 yards. Stockton is back there all day patting the football to the tune of 4 TD passes and 1 running. Stockton ain't better than Arch but his line is. The common theme is shitty line play in big games. So can we stop shitting on the QBs because they ain't the problem. Last year's Georgia team would've done the same thing they did to him this year. Until we improve our line play we will keep coming up short in these games. Even VY had a great O-line. The O-line was ultimately the reason Colt lost in 09 too. Texas has to start getting better linemen. We haven't had a truly good line since 2006. It's embarrassing at this point. Throw the whole safe at a line.
  24. You are just saying shit that is flat wrong at this point. Most defenses were terrified of our passing attack last year and played us with light boxes not loaded ones. You can literally see on film us in 12 personnel with opposing defenses with 2 to 3 safeties 12 yards off the ball. Only a few teams were brave enough to walk an extra man down. Georgia was one of them, and even they sprinkled it in. ASU got aggressive and they paid for it.
  25. No. I am saying no one was winning those games until we got better trench play. We've been inferior in the trenches this whole time. People like Derka are saying that Arch would change that.
