    Don’t forget that fucker, Franklin, meddled in the rape investigation during his time at Vanderbilt.

    Right.  It thought some of you were crazy for recommending him here.

    And its not that he didn't comment.  He walked away without saying "no comment" or "the university has already released a statement.  You will have to ask them."  You don't just walk away.

    He went after a UGA player after a game when he was at Vandy because he thought he made a dirty play.  When a UGA coach intervened there was nearly a full fight.  I don't ever remember a head coach doing that with an opposing team.

    i am going to need to see quinn ewers do something competent in the context of the game of football again before i am willing to get back to any optimism for the texas offense. i am not even asking for michigan quinn...i would take last year's second half of the season quinn.

    i have seen him play excellent qb. i know it is possible.

    i have also seen the 22 tcu quinn, 22 okie state quinn, 22 baylor quinn, 23 wyoming quinn, Q1 23 oklahoma quinn, 24 oklahoma quinn, and 24 georgia quinn.

    his inconsistent nature is really hurting us right now. 

    come on dude, get it together and go kick some ass. time to give the defense some help.

    Yeah.  I don't know who is going to show up at QB.  You also forgot the Jan 24 Washington Quinn, his worst game last year.

    So it could be UT 24 Vandy 20, or UT 52 Vandy 10.

    SEC officials want to fine Boston because the locals there threw some tea into the harbor a few years ago when they were mad over some tax issue.

    Well it is interesting that throwing things on the field is 250k.  Throwing mustard bottles and golf balls at the opposing team is 250k.  Rushing the field is 100k the first time.

    What I’m really saying is refs should do their best to call the game correctly and when one of them makes a mistake the other refs should hold them accountable in that moment, or at the least they should be held accountable in a meaningful way after the game.

    When you can’t count on accountability against the people in charge of ensuring a clean game, you aren’t dealing with a clean game. We chose not to just shrug our shoulders and aww shucks our way through that situation and instead we got dirty when they got dirty. And holy shit it fucking worked! They would not have changed that call without the delay. 

    I would rather not go dirty, leave that to the sister fucking okies, but I’m not mad that some water was spilled on the field to call out a rigging which was actively underway under our noses. 

    I would like to reiterate, I grew up in west Texas where refs are reviled, so I have some bias here. 

    I think there's a lot bigger issue with gamblers paying the refs than trying to screw teams.  Those Oklahoma St. refs HAD to have money on that game.  They couldn't hate Texas and Strong that much.

    There is really some Post Texas SEC Disorder going on. I told an SEC SEC SEC guy, that I didn't know Kirby was going to whine about this after the game and he lost his mind. When I ask him about Tennessee batteries and mustard bottles and LSU piss balloons he quit responding.

    They're whining about being robbed because they didn't get what was the worst call since the Oklahoma St. fumble in what 2014?  And then they claim they were robbed in not getting the TD at the one, which looked like a good call to me.

    The ones who watched it on TV are trashing Texas fans and talking all kinds of shit.  The ones who were actually there all had great experiences.

    Agreed it was not correct and like my daughter said we are better than that but sometimes protesting is the only way to send a message. It is good that a message was sent early that Texas does not care for the SEC antics of them wanting to control results in the name of the SEC brotherhood. Georgia like aggy proclaimed to me the greatness of the SEC before their own and they have actually won two NCs in the last three years. I told the person I will never understand how a school's fan base can be prouder of their conference before their school.

    Booing is a protest.  Of course, the SEC officials probably think fan bases boo for perfect calls (and a lot of them do).

    I’d be surprised if the “ask” of the university to identify bottle throwers was anything more than a stab in the dark (not actually expecting anyone to be identified) or just a “wink, wink” request.  
    University will just say “we tried, oh lord how we tried…. But the video is just too grainy to be certain.”   Pay the money, move on

    Its amazing how good some of these videos are.

    Have you seen any of these bowl game videos where you can spot yourself in the crowd?

    I mean I have seen our fanbase do that and worse in the past. You most certainly remember those days. Were you ritually whipping yourself back then? I was at the game where our fans threw garbage on the field at the 1995 Sugar Bowl for no reason at all besides our team was playing bad. I was there at the Stanford game in 1999 when our fans booed the marching band and I was there in 1992 when our fans booed our own offense for sucking against Baylor. And those are just incidents I witnessed in person. I was a little surprised this version of the UT crowd did this. We have been a very politically correct crowd for years.

    Anyway don't worry. UT has no sense of humor for this kind of thing. I am sure a bunch of new policies will be wheeled out.

    I don't see how booing is on the same level as throwing things.  i had forgotten about the trash at the Sugar Bowl.  Fortunately, the Texas fans had strong arms.  Some of them were in the level above us, but we didn't get hit.

    Maybe none of our business, but could the University take advantage of this situation in some way? Any benefits to be gained here?

    Would strong leadership pointing out that the SEC is to valuable and important not to have professional officials trained and dedicated full time to officiate all SEC men's and women's events? Show how the penalty triggered this event and similar ones around the conference. Make a case for professional full time refs, and bring to other schools, kind of sidestepping Sankey until a clear alignment solidifies with other schools. 

    If UT got the ball rolling on this,  could it help establish a new pecking order more fitting UT? Or would we get used and crapped on?

    Just seems like an opportunity to explore upgrading the officials from part time realtors or insurance salespeople. 

    More likely they would reduce the student section to sell for higher prices.

    Whatever Sark decides to do, he has to sit Ewers down and review the film to cover the pocket mistakes. He should make it clear that they cannot persist or there are consequences for continued poor performance. Hopefully he responds to coaching and he plays well next week. If not, Ewers would at least understand why a change would be made. You cannot control what the media is going to say so you just have to treat it like any other position. Lefau has overtaken Gbenda and Hutson is in the process of overtaking Campbell for similar reasons. It’s part of the game. 

    Well the consequences for Ewers is when or even if he gets drafted.

    I'm pretty annoyed with how Sark handled this as well.  If the starter is THAT clear in his mind, you don't pull him down 17 or 20 in the 2nd quarter. You just don't. So either they downplayed how injured Ewers was, or they actually see what we all see (that Quinn is mentally fragile and inconsistent) and pulled him in a panic move. Sark has worked very hard all year to avoid a QB controversy, and then just decided to create one all by himself by bringing Arch in before halftime.

    In real time, I wanted Quinn to stay in until halftime and to decide what to do from there. I definitely wanted Quinn back in on the last drive before the half since it was a 2 minute drill and maybe that could give him a spark. Really dumb IMO to put Arch back out there for a 2nd drive and we got burned with another turnover and 3 points for Georgia. 

    Sark needs to stop complaining about the outside noise regarding this situation and take ownership of how he handled it last night. 

     

    Sark absolutely did the right thing.  Quinn was out of it.  We had 15 yards of offense at the time!  15!.  Arch gave us a spark and gave them something else to think about.

    It’ll be clear by tomorrow that he basically single handily fucked the game up and the OL, while porous, actually moved the pocket for him quite decently for the most part. 

    We have a problem at our feet because of his horrible feet, unfortunately. 

    He just hasn't gotten his throwing accuracy back yet.  He had sufficient time about every time but the time he fumbled.

    The defense played good.  We just kept giving them short fields between the offense and special teams.  We had literally 15 yards of total offense late in the 2nd quarter when they put Arch in.

    Bama fans are legit underrated. They could have been the trashiest arrogant assholes for the past 15 years but we're surprisingly humble. Boring but humble.

    At the end of the day I don't give Kirby too much shit the first beer can was thrown over their bench, which then inspired the bottle deluge from the student section.

     

    Like that middle aged chick who tried to climb over and attack the OU fans at the Sugar Bowl a few years back?!?!

    My experience with the Georgia fans in my section was pretty good.  But I did see an awful lot of them throwing the Horns down and talking pretty aggressively at Longhorn fans on the way in and out of DKR.  If they're like that on the road when they're outnumbered, could they actually be as bad at home as Buckeye fans?

    And Kirby's comments after the game were bizarre.  I guess he was mad that two of his guys got tossed for targeting (correctly) and the worst PI call in the history of football got corrected?  

    Whatever.  I hope we get the rematch in Atlanta when we don't have a Red River hangover the whole first half.  We can win that game.

     

    They were fine except for the guys shouting SEC, SEC, SEC leaving the stadium.  They didn't remember we beat the team they can't beat last year.  Didn't see any Horns down.

    (disclosure-my wife is a Georgia Bulldawg and she was wearing her red and black last night).
