  1. Felt like more of a win than last week.
  2. Tired Horn

    Hubris

    Very true. There are maybe a few things to be learned from Herman's tenure, but the only thing to be learned from Strong's tenure is, regrettably, that he was in over his head from Day 1.
  3. You've got a stronger stomach than I do. For safety's sake, please allow the appropriate interval of time between viewing "street-pure" videos of the Texas offense. On the plus side, though, it's only addictive for the hardest core masochists.
  4. Why not both? With an offense that putrid, it's just sane to be desperate at the start of the game. But yeah, it was way to early for that shit.
  5. It beats our heavily-sedated penguin approach to offense.
  6. To clarify, our offense plays like they all met each other fifteen minutes before the game, they hate each other, they were all given different playbooks, and someone drugged the QB.
  7. They;re gonna roll us if the offense shows up looking like it did at Kentucky.
  8. Arch threw it at the barn's foundation. The barn should have stretched out for it.
  9. I honestly don't think we should be entertaining any hope for the playoffs absent sustained improvement on offense. We did not evidence competence on offense against Kentucky. If we show up like that at Starkville, we could definitely lose to the lesser Mississippi.
  10. What a novel concept.
  11. I think that people are just wondering WTF? Arch last year looked like someone you'd expect to be at least a competent QB. This year he mostly looks like someone only vaguely familiar with the rudiments of the position. I don't expect him to magically become better because of last year, but seriously--WTF? Did Sarkesian put him through some kind of Clockwork Orange conditioning? Does he now panic at the sight of a football?
  12. Hey, don't sell Arch short. He could be the worst QB in multiple leagues.
  13. I don't think we have much choice but to ride or die with Arch, because I don't believe we have anyone else ready to play at a high level. This is Arch's season, for better or for worse. Mostly worse, so far.
  14. I think we need to simply accept that this year's version of the Horns isn't destined for greatness. Rip that band aid off, cuz OL and QB play are just subpar. We should be looking for two things: (1) that they can win enough games to keep the program's wheels from falling off; and (2) that we see incremental improvements on offense to give hope for next year. Like if Arch could demonstrate proficiency on at least one basic pass pattern, you know, the kind of thing we see other JAG QBs doing right and left on TV every Saturday. I can't fathom how any QB could look this awful after three years in the system. I've seen disappointments before, but we're in freakish aberration territory at this point.
  15. Point taken, but I, must, in all fairness, point out that every team you listed had much better QB play than us. Arch was just incomprehensibly bad today. And that is a problem most of our competitors don't have.
