    It won’t take much to be better than Quinn that’s for sure. 
     

    He also out performed Quinn during the game Quinn got benched. Quinn should have never seen the field again from then on. That completely fucked our season. 

    Yeah, I thought Quinn should’ve stayed benched after Georgia, and it’s not because I was sold that Arch was a sure-fire better solution (frankly, Georgia dominated both our QBs along with our line).  It’s because I absolutely thought this was a championship-caliber Longhorn team, I had seen enough of Quinn to doubt he could carry the team all the way, maybe Arch could, and the time to find out was the remaining schedule before the playoff.  I didn’t think you wanted to be in a situation where Quinn was benched in the playoff asking Arch to carry you with less reps.  
     

    Regarding Arch: I worry that the expectations are way too high.  It feels like anything short of a Heisman and/or a natty is a failure, and those are obviously extremely lofty for a team that just saw 4 pass rushers and 3 O-linemen get drafted

  2. If you’re down by a TD with 2min left, do you feel confident in Quinn Ewers delivering the ‘W’?  Does the team?  I sure as hell didn’t, and apparently the NFL doesn’t either.  Does that mean Ewers is garbage?  No.  We’re talking about striving to be one of the elite of the elite here.  We’re talking about the mountain top.  What typically gets drafted in a given year?……. a dozen QBs on average?  And how many of those REALLY have expectations?……2 to 5 in a given year?  Quinn’s never been that guy.  Early in his Longhorns career, you could hope it was youth and inexperience.  Last year was the time to bloom, and the dude just came up short.  His draft stock fell consistently from August to January.  The Dolphins QB room is currently Tua w/ Zach Wilson and Ewers waiting for the inevitable concussion for their opportunity.  There are certainly worse situations for a 7th RD QB to have fallen into.  The league has already decided the former #2 pick, Wilson, is a backup NFL QB at best.  If Quinn can’t beat him out for the #2 spot, that will say volumes

    Good Lord is Arch going to struggle to live up to expectations.  The expectations seem to be “Win the Heisman”, “Win the Natty”, “be the 1st pick in the draft”.

  4. I already knew we were losing a lot, but it’s been eye-opening watching the draft and seeing how many linemen on both sides of the ball Texas is losing to this draft

    Bad move for Ewers not taking another year of NIL money.

    There’s (2) ways of looking at it, exactly what you said or perhaps he would’ve slid right out of the draft altogether with another year

    Damn, they really said that? Lmao. Did they curve engineering physics in the 90s like they do now?  The class avg in dynamics and e&m was in the 50s for all sessions but every professor does a curve. I was a CNS student though. 

    Sounds familiar regarding Physics and Thermodynamics.  These courses along with a couple others were in effect weed out courses.  I remember a lot of exams when a 50 was top of the class and 38 was still damn good.  Weekly physics homework was due weekly online at 2am, and was extremely difficult.  You would find half the class hanging around the UGL at midnight trying to finish the assignment/turn it in online

  7. If Mukuba is projected to be a 5th RD pick, he’s a steal based on what 8 watched last year.  Of all the Longhorns last season, for me personally he jumped off the page as the kind of guy I’m looking for as an NFL scout based on consistent in-game play-making

  8. College football loses one of its great game day traditions even if it may have jumped the shark.  I still would miss some opening kickoffs to see his head gear segment each week.  Another one for the nostalgia closet

    Once upon a time 30+ years ago, I made a mistake and went to high school in New Jersey (the same school Royal Ivey played for), followed by correcting that mistake and returning home to UT.  The Hun School is a private school in New Jersey.  I don’t know how it works these days, but back then these northeastern private schools often recruited top state high school graduates in football and basketball on scholarship for a “post-graduate 13th grade” before heading off to college.  I wonder if this kid is one of those and if so, where he played his pre-graduate high school ball?
