  1. I forgot to post an update!

    She signed! She got a full ride to play D1 college volleyball. Me and the wife popped a bottle of champagne knowing we have a little extra walk around money. Here is the aforementioned athlete!

    We were playing football with the extended family. I might be seeing it differently than other witnesses, but I am confident I am the one that has it straight .

    As to crocs, um, no. I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing anything of the sort. 

    Ah. The ole Thanksgiving family football game. You are better than me. After three knee surgeries I cannot outrun a toddler.

    Almost 500 yards and 6 TD's.

    Not too shabby for a RS-FR JAG...

    83 yards is the longest explosive this year too.

    This is just the beginning of a Longhorn Legend.

    There once was a JAG named Earl Thomas. Sometimes JAGs work out. Colt McCoy was supposed to be a JAG but he wasn't having it.

    We don't know that. I consider it an open question. I just outran my son-in-law at Thanksgiving and the dude played RB at Cornell.

    First of all, I'm curious to know how that even got to the point that you felt the need to flip the crocks around to sport.

    WTF?  That's been a pretty productive play on the aggregate for Sark's entire tenure as an extension of the run game and a staple as the screen action sets up a bunch of other things.   Bad take.

    I think seeing Wingo trip over his feet repeatedly against the good teams is just bothering my man.

    I like this kid. I'm not sure why he was called a JAG, probably because he is white? I don't know what his 40 time is but he gets plenty of separation, and I haven't seen a DB stay with him on a 9 route yet. His shortcoming is he needs to get stronger both for catching the football and blocking, but dude catches with his hands and fights for the ball.

    With the defenses we’ve put on the field the last couple of years I 100% believe sark could have two rings - at least one - if he’d run a spread with these two QBs. With all the talk about Quinn this and that, his touch and quick release I will go to my grave thinking sark has left titles on the field with his stubborn ass bullshit. 

    I don’t know what next year’s defense is going to look like with Hill, Moore, Burke, etc gone and who knows at DT - seems like a portal success yearly - but if we can field a good defense and sark runs the spread even no huddle we could easily win the whole fucking thing.

    upgrade some OL, possibly WR and RB and a smattering of D players but the core offense in the spread could fuck peoples shit up.  
     

    really reminds me of the 7 years with VY and Colt and we only got one. We are in year 4 of the next best stretch of Texas QBs and we are at ZERO titles.

    Don't know about y'all, but I feel great about Arch next year. It was a wild season but he settled in at the end. We have to see how it plays out, but I expect a significant upgrade at OL and RB next year after portal additions. That alone will do wonders for him. 

    Still lots to work on for Arch personally...needs more anticipation and touch on some throws. Needs to tighten up his mechanics as well. But even with the dramatically up and down season, we saw a guy with elite pocket presence/movement, he can get through multiple reads, upper tier QB athleticism, he became a vocal leader, and he's tough as fuck. 

    I do believe that all he's been through this year will make him stronger and better.  2026 is gonna be a big jump for him. LFG. 

     

     

    Every QB has shortcomings and its up to the coaches to work around them. Just like basketball, some players are elite at attacking the rim. Like Steph, some people are pure shooters. You don't ask prime Westbrook to be Steph and vice versa. 

    Arch has what it takes to win a title but you have to recognize his skillset and put him in a position to win. Sark, needing to save his job, put Arch in something the better utilized his skillset.........7 games into the season and cost us a playoff spot!

    Here is where he is failing to do that with the test of the team. 

    Receiver- It was pretty obvious to me as soon as he stepped on Campus that Wingo was not him. Worthy had holes in his game but he played with fire and tenacity. So as soon as we stopped trying to make him a deep threat he blossomed in the short game, where we could get him the ball and let him work. Wingo doesn't, for his size and explosiveness, does not go up and get the ball in traffic, and on screens and sweeps the littlest contact with his feet and he goes down. Yet we keep trying to get him the football like this time will be different. Spread the ball around to whoever is winning. Also, we've got a lot of young talent on the bench. Give them a chance to see what they can do.

    RB- Same as receiver. Baxter is a one cut and north south guy, why are we running him in OZ? Also, we need to be getting the other backs some experience. We stumbled on Brooks and Wisner being good, maybe there is another "isn't supposed to be a starter" in the stable too. Never going to know if we don't get them touches. 

    TE- Most athletic ones on the field period. I was tired of seeing Juan Davis out there just wasting a spot last year. Everyone knew he wasn't getting the ball and his blocking left a decent amount to be desired too. 

    Oline- This staff has no identity that they are building to. Sark coaches like he thinks we are a downhill running team but then your last two LGs are 6'6 and 6'7? You are at a leverage disadvantage as soon as you step on the field. Go look at Michigan. Interior O-line are all roughly 6'4 and shorter. Have an identity and build to that identity. The last two years your O-line play has lost you every game but one. Address it!

    What pocket? That was a CB blitz and the safety gave no reads that they were blitzing. Quinn’s reads were center or left which was away from the blitz. Herbstreit mentions that safety did a magnificent job of hiding that blitz for the CB. He tried to throw to the only open guy he had lol. Cam just sucks ass, he fucked that exact same play up against Ohio state that cost them the game. Quinn had his flaws like every qb does but most of his issues stemmed from sark being a stubborn, egotistical asshole with his offensive scheme. 

    It was always Cam Williams. 4th down and goal. Ball has to go in the end zone no matter what. QB can't throw it away and play another down and you pick that time to whiff on your responsibility with everything on the line. Shameful.

    Strange thing is I actually we could be setup pretty well for next year. But we really need better teaching on blocking scheme and technique, and better coordination with the line. 

    Wanna know why I hate 12 personnel? Check this out. 

    I quickly charted what we ran. We ran 17 plays out of 12 personnel, 6 passes and 11 runs, for a total of 115 yards. 70 yards passing and 45 yards running. Seems like its not bad right? Until you look deeper. We were 2-6 passing with the only two pass plays being the Endries catch and run plus the Endries drag route for 10 yards. Every other throw was an incompletion. In the run game we popped a 15 yarder and then when we were trying to salt the game away, aggy loaded the box and got flanked and we popped a 25 yarder. All the other runs were, 2 yards, 2 yard loss, 4 yard run, 2 yard loss, 2 yard loss, 3 yard loss, 2 yard run, 1 yard loss, and a 7 yard run. 

    12 personnel is pretty boom or bust, with a lot more bust. You take away 4 plays and we gained 5 yards on 13 plays.

    We didn't have great personnel for it this year and didn't execute well. But it worked really well against A&M. 

    Shit, we didn't have great personnel for it last year either unless you consider Juan Davis good personnel. Lol

    Why is that?

    What part are you asking about?

    Didn't we play a decent amount of 12 personnel vs A&M?

    We always play some because that motherfucker can't himself. At least it's no longer the base offense. almost everything positive that happened in that game happened in 11 personnel. If I recall the Endries big play and subsequent TE TD run on the gl were in 12, but I think most of Wisner's big runs were 11. I know his biggest one was. So was the Wingo TD. So was Arch's run.

    I fully agree with all the points you and @Thatguy are discussing. For me the most frustrating part is a combination effect. They don't necessarily recruit the best players for the system they want to run. Is that star gazing or bad recruiting evaluation, I can't say for sure. Whichever the reason, once they get them in, they seem no to evaluate the existing talent and force them into the scheme they WANT to run. As opposed to, figuring out what they CAN run and executing that aspect. That's clear this year and last. Since this is the Arch thread, crazy news. Arch has different strengths and weaknesses than Quinn had at QB. Yet even when the staff finds a game plan that works well for the QB and the other players around him, they seem determined not to stick with it and revert instead to what they WANT to run. That leads to an offense without and identity. The undefeated teams IU, OSU and even some one and two loss teams, Tech, ND, Oregon all have a clear identity. 

    To pile on top, IF a team has an offensive identity you can then focus how to adapt that identity to best align a game plan to differing defenses. For instance, GT is a heavy running identity team averaging about 200 yards per game. (What a dream that would be) However, what's usually worked wasn't going to against Georgia. So GT made adjustments and ended up throwing for nearly 200. It's not great, but they were badly outmatched and a very well coached D (miss ya homie) made a game of it. 

     

    Solid points. We changed our offense from a 12 personnel NFL based offense, to a 11 personnel, spread based offense. You know who belonged in a spread offense? Quinn Ewers. Yet we stuffed him into an offense that didn't fit his skillset for 3 years. Sark only changes when he has to not because it makes sense. Probably his worst human quality. Last year Quinn operated just good enough that his hand wasn't forced, so he made no changes. This year his job was on the line so he made a change. But for how long? You know he is just dying to go back to that clunky ass offense. I mean, we don't have 7 TEs on this team because we don't plan on using them. 🤣😂

    You said week after week.  It’s curious since he missed MSU and Vandy.

    The plays from Arkansas that were discussed was one in which it was not his guy.  The other was him being overly aggressive.  Arkansas attacked more a portion of the field or perhaps a position group.

    Georgia.  Their pass game was bit overblown with regards to the secondary.  In the 4th, they were attacking situationally and not so much our coverage.  The big question was the Taaffe/Guilbeau TD pass.  Their biggest pass plays were the blown coverage, the blitz/man versus McDonald, a 3rd down blitz/man versus Manny then an early zone coverage to the intermediate left.

    Back to Kentucky, they hit the short edges pretty consistently, but it was lots of dink and dunk.

     

    From my seat, it was a different approach each week with more based on what worked best for them.

    Dude. Re-read what I said. "Week after week they were attacking specific people. Taafe was one of those."

     

    I said he was ONE of those being targeted. They were also hunting whoever was opposite of Manny. We were losing our eyes and busting coverages. Man takes that away.

    Maybe it's also because you guys are some creepy fucks. 

    Not ruling that out. However, I watched Nicole get ridiculed for simply responding to my post with (If memory serves) a winky face. I've hung out with Nicole, in person, with my wife present. It was completely innocent and didn't deserve the negativity. This isn't just about THIS thread, this has been building for quite awhile is what I am saying. Anyway, I said my piece. I'm ready to move on.
