  1. What about 2nd and 3rd and goal from the 1?

    There was also a really poor play call in the first half on 2nd and goal from the 5 where we ran a short side jet sweep to J-Whitt and it lost 3 yards.

    Our red zone play calls have been underwhelming all year long.

  2. We have no business being in any playoff.  Washington, Michigan, Oregon, etc would kick the shit of us.   

    Classic over reaction. All of those teams could beat us. We could beat all of those teams.

    We definitely need to put any thoughts about the playoffs out of our heads. Go back to work and get better. The playoffs thing will sort itself out.

  3. Funny, pregame Sark was saying Quinn’s confidence was the biggest difference this year

    It has improved, but it’s still an issue early in games. You can tell when he does and doesn’t look comfortable. I don’t think he got into a real rhythm until the drive that ended with the TD pass to Helm. That’s when it was clear he was feeling it.

  4. How about the shit defense to end the game. No timeouts and they zip down the field with no resistance. That’s called the will to win. They do this regularly against ou and it’s tiresome. If ou whoops our ass 66-3 what do we do? We get our asses whipped again. We can’t seem to figure out how to follow up a blowout with another win. Perfect chance today against a completely average ou team. Maybe we will flip it in December against them. 

    Literally a carbon copy of what we did at the end of the first half. Before their drive started I thought to myself “there’s no way we will make that mistake again”.

    Narrator: “There was, in fact, a way.”

  5. This thread is pretty fucking sad. Yes, there are bad calls. Yes, there is animosity towards Texas. That’s nothing new and it’s not worth all the fucking crying and pointing out every little perceived slight week after week.

    Ranting about the refs is for losers, period.

  6. Amazing people criticizing a call that winds up with us scoring and taking the lead with just over a minute left in the game.

    Give me a fucking break. This board crucified Norvell for not playing to win against CU but somehow we’re supposed to give Sark a pass for doing the same thing? A 3 point lead with over a minute to play is hardly insurmountable. Now, if the clock had been at 45 seconds it’s a completely different story.

    That was the wrong call in the moment and it’s even easier to see why it was the wrong call given how things played out.

  7. The whole drive had no coherent clock management strategy. We ran hurry up and then slowed it down. And randomly snapped it with different time on the clock. 

    The drive was working great. You had to go fast to start in case you got behind schedule. Once we were in range we slowed it down to bleed TO’s and the clock. The fatal mistake was the decision to play it safe on 3rd down. You could also say that Quinn needed to hand it off on first down.

    But bottom line is that the game was there to win and Sark went conservative. Says a lot about his character and his lack of confidence.

  8. This was the play that it all came down to. When you stop and consider all of the other terrible shit that happened before, it was a miracle that we had one play and a chance to go for the win. Sark didn’t take it and you really have to question if he understands what it takes in those moments going forward.

  9. There were issues with player execution and issues with coaching. The coaching issues were by far the biggest reason we took the L today. Piss poor job by Sark and PK both.

  10. Sark fucked this up badly. The goal line sequence was just idiocy mixed with stubbornness. He had a chance at redemption and went full turtle by handing it off on 3rd and 8. Throw the fucking ball and get the first down. The game would have been won. He didn’t play to win the game and it cost him.

    This one is squarely on him in my mind, though PK sure as fuck didn’t help one bit.

  11. No idea how this season will go, but should be entertaining! The Wemby hype got to me and I bought the half-season ticket package, so I'll be traveling down to San Antonio a lot more often! Go Spurs Go!

    I did the 10 game weekend package. 2 seats in section 26. And I grabbed a pair of tickets to both games at the Moody. Really looking forward to watching him develop this year.
  12. FYI - Glad he was not at Texas anymore:
     
     
     

    Oops. He couldn’t get out of his own way. It’s crazy to me to think about having such a bright future and pissing it away because you don’t understand how to treat women with respect.

  13. I still haven’t seen the Old Forester SiBBP Rye in the wild. The last time I even heard about it in Houston was when Spec’s Midtown got a 6 pack a few years ago. 

    Oak Liquor got a case and posted it to Instagram about a month back. I was shocked to see Raj just offer it up to the world like that. I got up there in time to scoop one but they were gone in a flash.
