It does for some teams, I think it's a cultural thing.
I do know a lot of the guys are a lot more sensitive to the optics right now than usual. I think that plays a lot into their overall confidence and comfort level when traveling.
Some of these guys have built up enough reputation and good will that they are sort of immune to it, a lot of the offense doesn't have that privilege.
Oh I meant he feels like he doesn't have other options. If he just isn't giving guys touches because he's afraid that they suck that's really just shitty.
I'll make them all, but the "manhandling" just isn't there in the first quarter. There's blown as fuck assignments, and stupid ass shit going on, but not straight up getting manhandled. IDK why people stick with this narrative or if they just don't actually have eyes or as you say "know shit about football", but I do know quite a bit about football and I know what the fuck I'm seeing and it's not a bunch of dudes just getting pushed around by the other team it's a bunch of dumb shit blown assignments and not knowing what the fuck to do or who the fuck they are supposed to be blocking.
Neither is excusable, but they are different problems.
didn't get physically manhandled by Kentucky either and had the offense done literally anything it could have been 4 scores. I'm not gonna sit out here and project that Arch is going to backslide to UTEP levels of dogshit play and the OL is gonna just forget that they are playing football.
I don't know that he gives that much of a fuck, which is my big problem with him.
Now more than ever it's obvious he's not a vicious competitor and I just don't think anyone can win it all without being a little bit coo coo for coco puffs in that way if you know what I mean.
He answered, but this is the answer. They have the house, Senate majorities and they have the sitting president. If they can't make a functional government with those pieces we will wait until the election and they won't get another chance.
Yes, I do think that when this team plays to its capability there isn't another team that can beat them this year.
This isn't the past, there is a lot more parity out there than you either want to admit or just aren't seeing and there's not really a truly dominant team out there except one Texas already played and didn't look outclassed.
I mean this is it. This is exactly how I feel with the exception of past performance = future results.
I think this team has a nearly unmatchable ceiling and the floor is where we pretty much are. If it gets any worse you and I both know conversations will be being had on what is and isn't and acceptable product for the business of Texas Football.
Kentucky was an unacceptable performance from top to bottom front to back and side to side on the offensive side of the ball. Starting with the coaches. It was an embarassment and an abomination.
I don't give a fuck about practice if the philosophy isn't going to change. The current course isn't one they can keep and Sark has to fucking know that.
I think there's a certain expectation of performance from a leader in the locker room. Bijan was self admittedly much less of a vocal leader and Roschon took on a big role.
Quinn was never the vocal leader either, he always had others to step up and do it.
Arch had the team going before Ohio State and that imploded mainly due to personal performance, there was no plan B on offense and we are seeing that now.
