    the saddest part about this entire thread is that if Sam was from Utah or New Jersey or Oregon then there wouldn't be this irrational divide with how he's viewed among the fan base. hell, if he was from fucking Round Rock there wouldn't even be a divide. it's embarrassing to witness.

    dude, I pretty much agree with you that he's as good as the quarterbacks you mentioned in post#7641 although Applewhite has such a ragdoll arm I wouldn't put him in that company.

     

    the point is that group of quarterbacks including Sam should have 1 or 2 losses a year with the talent on campus during the Tom Herman regime.

    most of the losses we have experienced are caused by Tom Herman, not any one player

    Case had a career sub-60% accuracy. Sam surpassed that mark as a sophomore, as a junior, and as a senior. You're grasping at straws.

    Case also had a career 5.9 adjusted yards per attempt compared to Sam's 8.2, tied with 1st place Colt

    but he missed that one long pass that one time

    If Urban was the coach he would have gone for 2 in the second OT and won the game. 

    I agree except that we wouldn't have been in overtime with that shit ou team; that is a 21 point win with Urban on the sidelines

    My bet is that if Sam decides to come back next year it'll mainly be to get one more crack at OU. 

    Hypothetically, if Urban Meyer had been Sam's coach his entire career, a lot of these chuckle fucks think the results are no different

    Next year I suggest a naivety scene of our favorite sports reporters as the three wise men and South Austin Mom as Mary. Turtle Tom can play the part of the ass.

    accidental, but still accurate, nice

    Appreciate it Nicole...  Not sure how any quizzes or how the Surly background check works ...do I need to post my Texas Exes life member #?...Hope this helps...

     I’ve been around long enough to see the good/bad days a couple of times. Spent my days at UT during the Peter The Great years when team wasn’t always on top, but beat OU.  Knocking off Houston in ‘90 was the loudest game I’ve ever been to.   Haven’t made it to nearly enough games in person as not in Austin, but have been to some good ones post grad.  Saw Ricky get pissed after a guy stepped on his hand to run over Baylor in 2nd half the game before breaking the record against EaTmE.   Saw Major knock off Nebraska at home and eventually named my dog after him (both a bit scrappy)...also Pro Major over Simms. ..Enjoyed watching Vince and Cedric (RIP) run all over Nebraska, leading to them ultimately canning Solich. Sat in the end zone at Collie Station to watch Colt win a few games away of what should have been another national championship. (Damn pinched nerve...had one in my hs playing days and totally get where he couldn’t hold a ball...I lost feeling in my arm and thumb for almost a month so I get it)...   I try to forget the bad ones like 91 Cotton Bowl (thank God for Jack Daniels keeping me warm and erasing my memory of the Shock the Nation finale) and the Big 12CS vs Colorado 2001.  2004 helped cleanse the latter, but ready to have Horns stomp them at the Alamo bowl.

    Regardless, this is the UM or Bust thread...so sacrificing a Ham and Turkey...might drink a shot for Jobu to make it so.

    🤘

     

    a simple pay stub will be sufficient, sir

    The schedule next year is soft. Texas will have a distinct talent advantage over 11 of 12 opponents. As poorly coached as Texas was at times this year, they could've (one could argue should've) won every game. Yes I know they could've lost more too but we're talking ceiling. It isn't outside the realm of possibility that Texas goes 12-1 with a conference title and makes the playoff. Likely? Fuck no, but that's the ceiling. Floor probably looks like 2019. Now, for what it's worth, I'd probably say that with Thompson or Card starting too. I'm not sure Sam definitively elevates this team.

    Worth it? Depends on what the "cost" is. If you assume Thompson starts next year otherwise you might assume he leaves. If you assume Card starts next year, Thompson probably leaves anyway, right? So what is the cost there?

     

    The game is just way too different these days to compare a current QB to one before the real evolution of spread offenses. Sam's got a higher completion percentage than VY, similar YPA, and fewer INTs on more than double the attempts. Who's the better QB?

    we are in agreement on who is a better quarterback between Vince and Sam

    name all the Texas quarterbacks that would have had more success with Tom Herman than Sam has (again not Colt and Vince)

     

    it seems the detractors are assigning losses to the quarterback and I'm assigning them to Tom Herman

    Ehlinger has fewer career interceptions, 27, than Applewhite, 28, and Opie had 400 fewer pass attempts

    he's obviously not hurting the team with turnovers

    he has a ridiculous number of touchdowns

    when this team goes 4 or 5 wide, they excel because they have a great quarterback

    when they go conservative and bunch things up and try to bludgeon the other team, they bog down; this is not an indictment of your record setting quarterback, it is a fucking indictment of the coach

    by and large, when this team loses, they lose by one score

    why the fuck are you blaming the record setting quarterback?

    he's not accurate enough for you?  Who was more accurate besides Colt and David Ash (in 800 fewer attempts)?

    What’s your criteria? Being a battering ram? Sams great at that. Throwing the ball properly and accurately all over the field? He’s probably worse than Case was at that. I mean, he’s head and shoulders above Swoops and Heard overall.

    just name a quarterback and we can discuss it.  I'll put up his statistics against anyone not named Colt or Vince.

    Yeah, I really can't tell if OP is being sarcastic or genuine here. Do they really think being a coach at Bama, under Saban of all people, is stress-free?

    and you would equate that to being a head coach anywhere?

    *Kicked the booze problem

    *At 46, he's still relatively young.

    It’s gonna be Urban. The signs are there.  
     

     

    if it isn’t urban I’d take sark over a lot of the names I’ve seen

    dude this is the 'urban meyer or bust thread', not the 'coaches I'd like to get shit-faced drunk with' thread

    Lotta wishful thinking here

    Texas A&M makes it to the title game and regardless of outcome they will be out recruiting us on top of out of state programs poaching top tier talent. 

    To make matters worse, we have Saban potentially retiring soon along with LSU and Auburn in disarray

    This is a watershed moment to determine if the LHN was really worth it cuz CDC looks to be just about any other PAC-12 AD

    you are a fucking aggy

    using the word 'watershed' and taking a shot at LHN is pretty transparent dude

    No. This is BDE. (This is an actual screen shot of a hurricane projection for Delta that I stole from the Daily Texan Weather thread). Knocking up the weather girl was unnecessary as I can tell from her expression. This is BDE and it should be in burnt orange.

    I'm surprised its not postponed.

    Well, now that the Meyer smoke-screen is complete - they can fire Tom and start a 'search' while they wait for Urban to finish making preparations for his arrival in Austin coronation and the subsequent tar and feathering of the prior ruler.
