Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
CoTex replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Quinn, Thank you. For a Sugar Bowl semifinal season, and a Cotton Bowl semifinal season, there was a family who really enjoyed watching you sling it around. Thank you for 4th and 13. Thank you for the Worthy pass in Tuscaloosa. Thank you for 49-0. Thank you for winning the final Big 12 CCG. Thank you for beating aggy. Thank you for mentoring the next guy. When you were on the field we always had hope that the next play could go for 6. My son will outgrow his Ewers jersey soon, and he'll wear someone else's. That's just how this goes. I'm sure my wife will put it in a box somewhere with hopes that it will hold memories. Maybe one day one of us will see you in the NFL or see that worn jersey and remember you. For then and now, thank you. -
I'm not a football expert but this is what I saw last night. Section 454. First, walking to our section I saw our fearless leader, glasses, beard and all walking the other way. I'm sure I mouthed "that's Immamac." I'm guessing that was around section 452 at 6:10. Thanks dude - 2024 was a good year. I'm sorry I missed the tailgate but I was a last-minute decision. Thanks for setting everything up all year - I'm sure you worked hard and I appreciate it. Second, I usually don't like the sign language thing interpreting. I know, it's for the hearing impaired and I should be tolerant, but it distracts me. I don't care for it. However, Kilgore Rangerette girl last night nailed it during the National Anthem. I've never seen it done better and I'm proud to be a Texan. Third, I think the OHIO script, dot the I maneuver is more impressive on TV than in person. Sorry bro, your schtick ain't that special. Now, to the game. It seemed to me in the first half like Quinn would look at his first option/receiver, and if he didn't like what he saw, he would just lean into the pile. First time I saw it I was unimpressed but I think it happened 2-4 times. Only logical conclusion I can reach is that he was coached to do that. I don't buy the "Quinn is soft" narrative. Consider that it is at least possible he was told "we have an awesome defense, we have a ton of playmakers, we're good at special teams. If you don't like what you see, no hero ball - you're not Michael Vick." And, I'm not sure I take issue with that - Home game, good defense, Quinn just came off of OT 4th and 13. It may have been good coaching to say "nice job being a hero, now forget that shit and be a game manager." There was one play where I think Quinn could have taken off but he just sort of laid down. Contrasting that with the second half, there were some late passes to check-downs and more risks taken. I don't blame Quinn. I think he was a good soldier - he was told to take care of the ball and he took care of the ball for 58 minutes. Two turnovers in last 2 minutes and I don't blame him for either. Bond was a waste. I wish we had made the decision on day 1 that our 1, 2, 3 and 4 were Golden, Wingo, Helm, Wisner and Blue. If not them, Moore and Bolden. Kinda seems to me like 95% of Bond's reps/targets were wasted. Last night, on the biggest stage, he dropped a gimme. Now, Ohio State dropped a touchdown in the first half, and the qb tripped over flat turf in the second half, so I get that they're not perfect. But for the $$ Bond was paid, catch the damned ball. How does a screen go for 80 yards? Where were the safeties? WTF? We had the momentum in the 3rd quarter. At least it felt that way to me. 1st half we had a pitch/toss/sweep/reverse something to Wingo. Where did that play go? Seems like we only ran it once each game and I think that play can go both ways, or be a fake for a pass. If you're only going to run it once (and it gained positive yards), why do it at all? Our ability, or inability to run - I don't put that on Wisner, Blue, Gibson. I've seen OU, ASU and some other schools with some tiny ass RB's make holes that those guys could run through, and make schemes that kept the linebackers and safeties distracted. I don't know exactly how to coach up a running game but I think it starts with some big strong mf'er pushes another one to the side to make a gap, and then the guy goes through the hole. Our line wasn't creating holes for the RB's. If your guys need help, scheme so they get help. Our line wasn't making big holes and wasn't pushing anyone around. I would be curious to see the ratio our line had of 10 yard runs to false starts. Maybe our line had individual talent, but as a unit, they weren't making it happen. Either we get held more than anyone else in CFB, or our d-line underachieved. It seemed like they had a chance for a sack on at least 50% of the plays they were in and rarely got there. Maybe I'm wrong but we should have killed that qb last night. Defensive backs did their job. Take away that screen for however long it was and they gave up 0 receiving touchdowns and had 1 INT. The call on Helm for taunting was absolute bullshit. I don't think it mattered because we got 1st down at the 1, but what in the hell? Game on the line, guy makes a giant play, you let that go. Remember, you're in the entertainment business. it isn't pro wrestling but still, people want to cheer for their gladiators and if you turn them into bland robots, less cheering. If I had to sum up the season I would say this, great 1st year in the new conference. Forget all the "you can't compete - this aint the big 12," crap. We're #1 or #2 in this conference, right where we belong, and when teams see us on their schedule, they know it's a likely L. Disappointing because it felt like we were so close last year, with a little better team this year we could win it all. Probably we were closer to winning it all last year than we were this year. And, last year, we were in the same place, semifinal game late, chances to score but couldn't get it done. But, if you told me I could trade places with another program - even swap, coaches, players, recruits, conferences, facilities, whatever, I would say "nope. we got all we want." Now, Sark, Arch, Wingo, time to level up - we want a championship. tldr - I'm salty about last night but I understand and accept it, I'm still a happy Longhorn fan.

That scene we have all watched, where the dad is standing there, arms crossed, while his son stands next to him crying because his team is losing... That was us in New Orleans last January. That was us last night except he held in the tears and just had the red eyes/quiet demeanor. He's growing up. I told my son on the walk back to the car last night that the trophy for us was spending a day together, cheering on our team, having something in common we can talk about, and winning would have just been extra. He was not appeased by that talk, but then... Some 50-year-old coog wearing a burnt orange short skirt started talking shit to some OSU fan who mouthed back. Then she started yelling "Michigan, Michigan." Then, she started singing the damned Michigan fight song (I never considered that it actually had words). She wanted all the smoke from that dude and would have stabbed him with her skank high heel if she could have. We laughed and laughed and, from now until the grave, my son and I are Longhorn fans. I told him "that is not the kinda girl you bring home to Mom," and he said "maybe just once." Heh, heh. The Longhorns for us are pride, familiarity and entertainment. They're the way we spend our fall Saturdays, the colors we wear near and far. Part of my DNA and now, part of my son's. Hook 'em. Oh, and to the coog with the skirt singing the Michigan fight song - thank you.

I'm sitting at my desk, 3 hours from AT&T, thinking about the game and what I'm going to eat while I watch it with my 12 year old tonight, at home. And I think I'm about to say F it, get in the car, and truck it to AT&T. Hook 'em bitches.

Corsicana is where they invented Wolf chili. I'm pretty sure you won't freeze there and I'm pretty sure tauntaun meat would sell at a premium.

Berthoud has been angry the past couple of weeks, for sure. We ate at Deno's, Hernando's, and one of the restaurants at the base (can't remember name). What are your top 5 restaurants in that area other than those I named? Also, where is the nicest restaurant in town? Deno's for New Year's was great - is it the nicest?
-
Just returned home from week in Winter Park. Great snow, nice people, nice accommodations. Checks every box except for the Lambo / Chanel / nightlife box. Fine with me. Drive in was a little sporty - when it's windy and snowing on Berthoud Pass its slippery and hard to see.

What’s good for breakfast in Dumas? They got a coffee shop or bakery or greasy spoon worth hitting?
-
Second time I’ve driven to Colorado for vacation. First time stopped/stayed in Dumas. This time I saw Hampton Inn Dalhart and figured “how bad can a Hampton Inn be?” Well, the answer is not bad. Dalhart on the other hand - kinda smelly and can’t really tell what that place does well. Watched video of the elk belching into the mic and started laughing. Showed it to my 12 yo son who thinks burps and farts are the funniest thing ever and we both had a good laugh. Wife said “this is like Christmas all over for you two, isnt it?” Heh heh. Then, about 5 minutes later, she said “wait a minute - is that the same guy that said “we’re fully focused on the game this week - Texas, I mean Auburn?” Heh heh.
-
Heh heh. went to sleep in shithole Dalhart. Kinda depressing. My kids kept saying “what’s that smell?” Woke up in Dalhart and saw score. Not so depressed. Heh heh.

Does that hole in the wall serve a particular purpose?
-
Strongly disagree. My kids have done their share of damage, including barfing partially chewed rice all over the backseat of a new vehicle, but I can't think of a time when my kids have done permanent damage to a carpet floor mat. Those things are made of rubber and synthetic carpet. Live a little - that car you're protecting probably won't end up at the Mecum auction with the Aston Martins.

I have an inner conflict. I 100% prefer buying from a local guitar shop, but Sweetwater has their game tight. Whoever is training Sweetwater employees is putting in the work.

He plays the shit out of his guitars. 7 days a week. And he has a really good attitude. I asked him to pick a guitar and he picked the Epiphone version of this. I leveled it up to ‘murican made. I’ll sort out my credit card bill in January. For tomorrow, my wife and daughter will get 50w of KISS for Christmas.

Got one of these to go under the tree for 12 year old. I personally think this is an extremely badass gift for a child and I way overspent. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPS5TONH--gibson-les-paul-standard-50s-tobacco-burst He’s up to 5. My guitar collection remains at 1.
-
Rubber car floor mats. From time to time I wear nice pants and nice shoes. When I get in a car I dont want to rub my gear on some shitty rubber floor mat like I’m working in the kitchen at Cisco’s. Yes, I understand that some people work in the mud or have work trucks. Good for you. I’m talking about a nice car/truck or daily driver - get some nice carpet like a civilized human.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
CoTex replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Recap. You started by responding to my post and said "we won 6-3 when Beck was playing..." which was wrong. I posted a clever meme ... "not sure I agree with your police work." You challenged that with another post which was wrong. Then, you edited it, because it was wrong. And then you fire off with the "dumbass?" To all of that noise I say: -

CoTex replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Ok, I'll be more clear and less clever. You're wrong. Specifically, the part where you said: The last play of the game for Beck was the last play of the first half. Georgia QB Carson Beck returns from hand injury for final snap in SEC championship OT win over Texas – CBS17.com Now is when you say "that doesn't count because... reasons." -

Beck's qbr for the CCG was 59.5 Quinn's was 70.6 Honest question, does that mean our QB played better than theirs and we still lost? -

Weren’t there some Wingo targets in the end zone? could some of yall line out for me how Quinn screwed those up? Also, where’s the “if arch wasn’t such a shitty holder thread, auburn would have hit” thread? I’ve got some strong words for that one. -
Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
CoTex replied to SimkinsMan's topic in Football
Not what I said, friendo. I said "Get him some cushy deal like Fatterson had. That fiery mf'er almost ripped his own ear off one day." Didn't Sark hire Fatterson to be special assistant for offensive production or something? Throw back Fatterson or whoever is sitting in his spot, and get me Muschamp. Truthfully, the Defense doesn't need any help. But, I still would rather that lunatic be on the Texas sideline than the Georgia sideline.
