    And Watson allegedly playing the Falcons and Saints off each other right now to extend and increase the $ of his 4 year contract. 
     

    Houston radio this morning and NFL Network people say Deshaun’s camp has been filming all this shit from their perspective, hoping a network will pay to air it as some kind of Lebron “The Decision” drama. Fuck this arrogant POS. 

    This guy's greed knows no bounds.  Between Watson and James Harden, I'm so sick of diva superstars playing for Houston sports teams.  Almost as tired as I am of bad owners running their teams into the ground.

    I think it's hilarious that an actual professional sports team was on the verge of hiring a guy who's only coaching experience is as an assistant high school coach?

    What a world.

     

    Hey now, he's a 42 year old with 18 years of experience of being on an NFL sideline with a clipboard.  You can't tell me the Cardinals, Lions, Raiders, Dolphins, Panthers, Hartford Colonials, 49ers, Bears, Bucs, Browns, Jets, Eagles, and Texans all got it wrong, can you?  He probably knows the best cheap breakfast joint in every NFL city in the country!  You can't let a prospect like that go.

    Sark will always be the QB coach at Texas, as long as he remains the coach. 

    Yes, but when you're the QB coach, playcaller, chief recruiter, and your OC is really just coaching the o-line, somebody has to be in the booth telling you what they see on the field and run the QB drills.

    In Japan, the school year is roughly 80-85 days longer. Not that it would ever get implemented in America, but if it did, parents would love it because it results in less arrangement for and cost of child care.

    Yeah, my wife is a teacher and her sister teaches at an international school in Vietnam.  Give any American public school teacher the discipline of a classroom full of students in Japan and they'd gladly work another an extra two months a year.  That's like comparing a combat veteran whose done multiple tours in Afghanistan to a member of the aggy band.

    It seems like you're missing the part where a good QB helps the OL by getting rid of the ball on time. Peyton Manning used to lead the league in sack avoidance in Indianapolis despite mid-pack OLs and a complete lack of mobility. A QB doesn't have to sacrifice his body to help a subpar OL and offense.

    Will Ewers do that? We all hope so, it's obviously not guaranteed. But poor QB play was nearly as responsible for our QBs getting hit this year as the OL was.

    We already had the best freshman WR in the Big 12 and one of the best running backs in the country.  One more star player wouldn't have turned it around significantly any more than if Deshaun Watson had suited up for the Texans this year.  You can't be better than the middle of the pack in the Big 12 without a decent o-line, something that at least resembles a pass rush, and linebackers and safeties that are at least a threat to do their jobs.

    We'd have beat Baylor and OSU too. The only games that weren't winnable last year were Arkansas and ISU. You do realize that Sarkisian's offense is nothing like Herman's offense, and for as good a QB as Sam was, Ewers comes to Texas with a immensely higher ceiling at the position.

    So, basically we win the Big 12 if only we had a stud freshman quarterback? I mean, Baylor and OSU were only the top two teams left standing at the end after. 

    I'll have whatever you're drinking.  I guess I should start shopping for hotels for next year's playoff tickets right now.  We're going to be unstoppable with all these stud freshmen!

    So because the o-line stays the same, it doesn't matter who the QB is?

    So maybe we beat Kansas and maybe West Virginia.  Who cares.  I'd rather be 5-7 and hungry than 7-5 and delusional thinking we were better than we are because we forced our stud freshman to play hero ball and destroy his body in the process--just like Herman did with Sam.

    Lol none of it was Caseys fault guys! Either way the QB play was shitastic for one reason or another and cost us games that a Ewers wouldn’t have lost.

    Ewers on campus last season doesn't improve our o-line or defense.  We would have still sucked and still lost games, just like we did Sam's first year.  And unlike Sam, Ewers may have transferred at the end of it when he was no longer the golden boy.

    Same QB play I saw vs TCU. In fact TCU and Baylor are kind of the anomalies in Casey's play. HE was god awful vs good defenses and lit up bad defenses. The exception being he was god awful vs TCU and solid vs Baylor. 

     

    TCU   41.9
    OU   63.4
    OSU   18.4
    Baylor   77.1
    ISU   2.8
    KU   78.4
    WVU   4.1
    KSU  

    79.2   

    That is QBR by game. I guess it was an intermittent injury, that usually just showed up against good teams or mostly in the 2nd half of games. It the thumb that forced the ball into bad reads and not his ability to read a defense. 

    No, it's a combination.  There's a reason he wasn't QB1 coming into the season.  Casey is who Sark thought he was.  However, if you don't have the thumb, he's decent enough to where some of these deficiencies can be game-planned around.  But when you've got to take both the throws and reads that he can't make out when he's healthy, and then take another chunk out because of the thumb, you're basically fucked and wishing that Jerrod Heard was still on campus.  There's a reason we saw so much Wildcat in the KSU game. 

    None of that stuff is Casey's fault.  He wasn't the starter coming into the season.  Other than hype from one half against Colorado, he's never been the heir apparent on campus since he came here.  Casey played up to his ability, and he's going to have a couple of fine seasons in a less competitive league at his next stop.  But he never should have had to play hurt, period.  Hudson Card was THAT BAD behind our line.

    I think QB play was one of the biggest reason Texas struggled. Casey finished 7th in QBR in front of Doege and Bean. HE finished dead last in Ints/attempt. In a conference that was not blessed with good QB play, Texas finished the year with below average QB play. Easily a couple more wins with competent QB play. 

    The dude was playing with a busted thumb and was basically shot-putting half his passes.  Casey never should have been out there, but Hudson Card wasn't ready to play behind our tissue-paper o-line.

    Now they have trackers in pill form great

    Actually, it's a tracker combined with Vitamin D, ivermectin, hydroxycloroquine, and a psychoactive substance that causes people to follow subliminal messages that are broadcast on 5G networks by the Illuminati lizard pedophile people.  All in an easy to swallow horse pill with a specially patented formula for maximum insurance billing opportunities.

    It's absolutely wild that none of the bad shit that happened to Texas football this season isn't going to end up mattering. The OU collapse, the other collapses, the Kansas game, the monkey (which I maintain wasn't a big deal), the Bo Davis bus thing (which is really just a poor reflection on whoever released it). None of it even matters a little bit. Throwing around some major NIL cash coupled with the coaching carousel royally fucking some teams, particularly Oregon and Oklahoma, and Texas just inked a recruiting class that legitimately has potential to get the program moving in a positive direction. Lord knows they have to develop those players and we know how much of a problem that has been, but damn, none of the bad shit that happened this season ended up mattering. It's establishing an extremely low bar, but after the previous two coaching staffs we'll take what we can get, but kudos to this staff for realizing that things in the trenches, especially on the o-line, were a complete disaster and needed to be fixed. Kudos to whomever it was, probably CDC, who got the boosters all working together for once to come up with the NIL programs we needed to make this happen. Who the fuck knows if it's going anywhere positive, but just the fact that we signed this class after thing that happened this year is absolutely bonkers.

    All the things you cited played a factor, but you also have to look at the things that Sark delivered on even when things were going bad.  Even with the injuries and the problems with the O-Line and Defense, we still managed to put up numbers at QB, WR, and RB.

    Anyone know what’s the point of moving Junior to the left side? Seems like keeping one side’s chemistry in tact would be good. 

    The theory I heard is that Angilau is our best lineman so they're hoping he can help Jones with his assignments.  Same for Kerstetter with Imade.

    the difference being our D was pretty salty(sans a few busts on Evans) until the 99 yard drive.  I know the O will come along under Sark.  I want to see PK do work because that will separate us and Sark needs PK to make that happen.

    Fanatic Perspective gave a good explanation for the 99 yard drive.  Our defense was gassed after the first few plays of that drive.  TCU went hurry-up and made no substitutions, and Sark bet on his team to keep the ball in-bounds and play the clock rather than burn a time out and make substitutions.  In the end, we were able to make some first downs after the touchdown and the gamble of living with a time-consuming 99 yard drive worked.  Winning ugly beats a close loss any day.

    Ny times did a vax v unvax hospitalized for a 7 state area and found 12 to 24% vaxed. UK head said 40% vaxed. I'd have to estimate it's probably 20 to 25 faxed but I'd also guess vaxed have shorter stays.

    The way the math and probabilities work, the larger the percentage of a population that is vaxed, the higher the percentage of hospitalized patients that are vaxed.  I live in Victoria, and the health authority here indicated that 98 percent of the people admitted to our two hospitals are unvaccinated.  This is because Victoria is lagging behind the state, that is lagging behind the country, that is lagging behind Europe.  Isreal has the highest percentage of vaxed hospitalizations simply because they lead the world in vaccinations.
