  1. After reading your nonsense on this page I looked back, and shockingly, you predicted a 2 TD win and Arch having a VY like performance. You bought WAY too much into the hype. Vegas told you this game was a defensive coin flip. Not our fault you didn't listen and had an "expectation" that was an extremely low probability outcome. Yes, Arch didn't play well and we sucked in the red zone (as does almost everyone against OSU). It happens. Especially on the road against an elite opponent when your QB is making first ever road start. We lost a measuring stick game close and now have a lot to work on before conference play. Nothing else changed.
  2. I didn't see much of the game but did flip over just in time to catch the one deep shot Marcel missed (overthrow) when there wasn't a defender within 20 yards. I saw that on college football final "bottom plays" or whatever the next day as well.
  3. Venables has always had that reputation. Nothing wrong with it if you aren't pulling a Michigan to get the signals. Given that plays are now delivered via helmet, not really as much as an issue although like every team I'm sure they are adjusting to signals changing plays at LOS.
  4. Our fan base has always pretty much sucked ass. Fair weather and low football IQ. I mean really not that different than most fan bases but at Texas the absolute entitlement is something. Way too many people have forgotten the 12+ years we absolutely sucked and would have lost that opener by 40+. That being said, an 11AM kick is BS. It is what it is and a byproduct of Texas being good (TV Picking it up) but it sucks. If it were a night game, I would be leaving the soccer fields in Dallas with fam direct to a hotel then tailgate. Instead, I'll be dual tasking watching soccer and first half on the phone. Not cool.
  5. This is such a bad take it reminds me why I need to stay away from this board during football season LOL.
  6. Anyone actually suggesting we should kick a fucking FG down 7-0 at the 1 foot line should just do us all a favor and stop posting.
  7. Genuine question, if you already had a mild case would you already have some protection against future shingles infection? I mean, was that effectively like you already had a vaccine from an immunity standpoint? Isn't the shingles vax intended to be once and not repeated every few years?
  8. I didn't watch but it sure didn't stop all of the national talking heads (that likely didn't watch it either) from talking them up as being the real deal with Mateer. Dvorchek was actually the first person I've heard say tap the brakes due to the lack of a run game. Michigan will be interesting.
  9. That sounds right. The QB guy breakdown did a great job of highlighting how special Downs is. Just unreal instincts. Elite ability to read the play and react immediately.
  10. How many other defenses have Caleb Downs and the ability/personnel to execute a complex defense? UGA/FL/OU may all to some degree although none of them have a player like Downs. And it certainly doesn't help that we had absolutely no film to study. TCU wasn't dialing up explosive plays left and right last night because they have better skill position talent than we do. They were just playing an absolute shit defense.
  11. And we all knew he hurt his ankle in the Kentucky game LOL. Ewers injuries were a pretty constant topic on this board.
  12. The 2 in the last game aren't even remotely fucking debatable under the circumstances. If the last one was in the 1st quarter, sure, but not when down 14 with 7 mins to go. And absent a chance to take the lead late in the 4th you never fucking kick from the 1 foot line. I can't believe people are actually arguing this.
  13. Can we just crowdsource retards like this off the board early so we don't end up sifting through years of this drivel like we do with BOW?
  14. BOW is in prime form to retain his title of cuntiest poster on this board I see.
  15. Nobody that knew WTF they were talking about said that. I said early last week reading that nonsense that half of this board was smoking crack with ridiculous expectations. Vegas told you the game was a low scoring coin flip just like it was.
  16. If you listened to what Sark said, he didn't want to give them a chance to sub for bigger personnel and thought we could beat who they had on the field. He was wrong. I didn't love the play call but I didn't hate it. You have to be able to get a a damn foot with a QB sneak.
  17. No its idiocy to talk about pulling your starting QB that has a grand total of 3 starts under his belt and only one of one of which was on the road against a defense with a pulse. He's going to have growing pains. Most people that understand football expect that. Guess what. He's going to miss more throws and throw more picks. And "fans" like you will be calling for the backup just like you have the last 3 years I'm sure. He's only going to get better if he plays through it. Nothing more idiotic than fans that think QB2 is the answer to every loss year in and year out.
  18. First road start against a top 3 team and you are talking about pulling the QB LOL. JFC the idiocy on this board
  19. The sky is falling takes by too many on this board are as expected. Texas fans are largely morons. I told all the idiots predicting a 20+ point win they were smoking crack and this was a coin flip game. No doubt these are the same idiots ready to give up on Arch and claiming Sark can't win a big game. Clowns.
  20. How the F is he going to move Dak? Putting the no trade clause aside, it's a god awful contract nobody would want. Good luck with that Jerry if that is his plan.
  21. It's a horrible trade for numerous reasons. Imagine the haul they could have gotten in March if they put it out they were going to trade him pre-draft. THAT could have been something like the Herschel trade. Instead, they traded him when they had a gun to their head. Beyond idiotic.
  22. Except for the fact that a competent GM would have either got an extension done or a trade done before the draft or at least well before the season is about to start now with a gun to his head. There isn't any way to put lipstick on the pig of the constant and perpetual front office incompetence. They couldn't have fucked up Dak/CeeDee/Micah contract negotiations more if they tried.
  23. Just embrace it for the comedy that it is.
  24. Which might make sense if they were in (and would commit to) a full blown rebuild, but instead they way overpaid both Dak and CeeDee because they were too stupid to get those deals done earlier. The likely late first rounders they will net from this trade will certainly help them to continue to achieve mediocrity though. Great work Jerry!
  25. This. I pay only half way pay attention for the retarded reality show that it is. I can't fathom how anyone remains an actual 'fan' of a Jerry Jones owned and managed franchise. Hope we get several Parsons sacks on Dak just to see the camera pan over to Jerry in his Suite.
