  1. I thought he was a Georgia lock. Did I miss something? Would love it if we got him.
  2. We will never be America’s team. If all those things you mentioned come to fruition (which I believe they will), we will be despised by the entire country. But I’m here for it. Embrace the hate baby!
  3. To me, it really looks like AD was not expecting the ball to be thrown his way. The way he turned looked like an "oh shit!" moment where he just panicked and reacted too late to the ball.
  4. It wasn’t even about when it was called. It was about WHERE it was called. Tie game and you risk handing your opponent the ball in FG range? Ballsy is an understatement.
  5. Number 1 seed gets to choose what jerseys they wear, and I'm assuming we chose white because of the success we've had in those jerseys this year (and past years for that matter). Remember back in '18 when OU was the one seed; they chose to wear those ugly ass cream colored alternate uniforms instead of their home jerseys because they didn't want us to be able to wear the Storm Troopers.
  6. Crazy to think we have a legitimate shot at 14 wins this season, which would give us two “7-win Steves” in one year 😂.
  7. This is false. The committee already set precedent in 2018 when they left undefeated UCF out of the playoff after McKenzie Milton tore his ACL in the final regular season game. I think they'll do the same to FSU this year.
  8. Ha, the play at 2:22 (and the player that scores on the play) looks awfully familiar.
  9. Being this certain that QE won’t have a meaningful NFL career is just about as stupid as being certain that he will be a hall of famer. The truth is, none of us has seen a large enough sample size to know for sure what he’s going to do at the next level.
  10. Yep. Getting your 10th win in the 14th game of the season isn’t nearly as impressive as getting it in the 11th.
  11. I’d honestly be completely fine with it if Sweat makes sure he gets an unnecessary roughness penalty on the first play against that douche bag.
  12. I know this has probably been answered elsewhere, so please don’t neg me for asking. But do we need for OU to win this game in order for us to make the Big 12 title game? Or are we in no matter what as long as we win out?
  13. I could honestly see this happening. Everyone, including BYU, is expecting Sark to come out with a run-heavy to protect MM in his first start. I'd love to see him draw up a cool play-action deep ball for the first play.
  14. I'm too lazy to make a complete list, but throughout our last 15 years of misery there have been many teams that were successful even with their backup quarterback on the field. We lost quite a few games to backup QBs, and we've even seen teams win National Championships with backup QBs (Ohio State and Bama). So here's how I see it: Our head coach is apparently "The QB Whisperer", and our backup QB is a guy that's been on campus and learning from this "QB Whisperer" for almost two full calendar years (Maalik enrolled in January 2022). If we can't successfully navigate this situation and win at least 4 out of the next 5 games against BYU, KState, TCU, Iowa St, and TTU (all of whom are having down years), then Sark is not the answer and the sad reality is that we will probably never be a relevant football program ever again. Yes, I still want us to win out and get to the CCG, but I think 4 out of 5 is the realistic bar considering that would give us our first 10-win season since we fired Mack. I'm not happy Quinn got hurt, but I'm at least somewhat excited to see what we really have in Sark as far as quarterback development is concerned. Our remaining schedule is soft as baby shit, so if he is as advertised we're going to be just fine.
  15. Last year’s injury was to his left shoulder. Yesterday was his right shoulder.
  16. Let’s go!! Ugly, but fuck it. OU needed a stop on a 2 pt conversion to beat UCF; so who cares. A win is a win at this point.
  17. Malik is also by far the biggest skill player on our team. You don’t have to be athletic to be good at a QB sneak, but it certainly helps to be bigger than 6’1”, 195 lbs. Look up Tom Brady’s stats if you don’t believe me. Also, you’ll never convince me the play against Bama wasn’t a trick play. JT stopped behind Quinn and put his hands up under Quinn’s ass like a QB does under center. Quinn also dove forward without even attempting to grab the ball off the center’s hands. I don’t have personal knowledge of the play design/call, but I watched the slow motion replay enough times to be convinced that was a trick play.
  18. One thing I’d love to see in the second half of the season is a better package for short yardage situations. The QB sneak is the one of the best plays for those situations, but I can understand why we’re not eager to do it with a 195 pound quarterback. I’d love to see us run Malik out to take those snaps, and I think we could have a very successful “tush push” formation (even though I hate that name) with our big bodies. Plus opposing defenses would always have to respect the possibility that we could roll Malik out of that formation for an RPO. Either that, or I’d love to see us try that trick play we tried against Bama (snap the ball through Quinn’s legs to Sanders). Our inability to move the ball 1 yard on 4 tries was obviously a glaring reason we lost to OU, so I think it’s likely Sark will draw up something new for those situations in the second half of the season.
  19. I knew not everyone would agree with me, but damn that stings. I stand by what I said, though. I'll just clarify one thing: I didn't go into the game hoping we'd lose. I just meant after all the weaknesses that were exposed throughout the game, I'm glad we're forced to focus on those issues and find a way to fix them. If we run the table including a rematch victory in the Big 12 title game, there's no way we won't collectively look back and think of the loss as a net positive on the season. In addition to our weaknesses that were exposed, look at all of the bulletin board material we've gotten from OU since the game ended (Texas fears OU shirts, etc.). Maybe I'm wrong and the loss will derail our season, but I'm still optimistic that it'll fortify the team and lead to a butt fucking in the rematch. We'll find out soon enough if I'm right.
  20. I might sound crazy, but hear me out... I'm happy with where this team is right now and I'm actually glad we lost to OU in that fashion. If we had come up with a defensive stop after our final field goal, most of our team, coaches, and fanbase would have come away from that game thinking we're a gutsy team that found a way to win at the end of a game where we didn't play our best. Of course there would still be concern about the mistakes that were made, but overall the mindset across the board would be positive and we'd be going into the bye week feeling confident and comfortable. Instead, we all came away from the game realizing there are some glaring areas where we HAVE to get better if we're going to win out and take the Big 12 title (pass rush, penalties, red zone offense, etc). I hate to sound like Mack Brown's "winning too much is bad for the kids", but in reality it's true that success is a terrible teacher. Instead of going through the bye week thinking we're good enough and can find a way to win no matter what; we're going to spend it focusing on those weaknesses and finding a way to get better. I'm predicting that the loss to OU is going to be a net positive for our season, and we're going to win out including the rematch in December.
