    aggy doing everything they can just to cancel this game.  what a bunch of pussies 

    They did a much better job dodging their bowl loss. Today, they've already been exposed.

    I get some of the old $9.95er stuff confused like everyone else so maybe I am getting this wrong again, but isn’t Bean the one who melted down in like truly legendary ways? I feel like one of the early $9.95ers was giving guys blowjobs for money on the side and then had like a Dog Day Afternoon level hostage situation in downtown Austin or something. Did that happen? Was that him? What else is behind the story if either of the first two questions is answered with “yes”?

    I don't recall Peter being named in that sort of thing. Peter was in law school out-of-state in the 2005-2010 timeframe and worked for Jackson Walker in Austin after he graduated, iirc. So he made it through the Bar's character & fitness review and got hired by a reputable firm. (Unlikely that he had hostages and blow jobs on his record.)

    Legitimately sad - those original SBN sites were great

     

    I really enjoyed BON back in the mid to late 2000s, when Peter Bean ran it. Wescott is unbearable, though.

    I'm over here watching Card highlights from '21.

    Man, I am trying so so hard to find something to make me excited and I am not finding it.

    I'm not putting it outside the realm of possibility that he has evolved and improved (also, Whittington fucked us hard in that Arkansas game) but I also think a player has tendencies and those rarely change.

    I'd just like to see Quinn get one more chance in the scrimmage this Saturday.

     

    He has highlights?

  5. I had remembered Card missing open receivers -- both missing the fact that they are open (and thus not throwing at all) and seeing them open but throwing a bad pass.  However, I had forgotten about his poor decision-making, or maybe it's low football IQ.  At one point, he was scrambling, and if he had just run north/south he would have had a pretty easy 4th down conversion.  But instead of running north/south, he inexplicably cut to the sideline and almost didn't make it to the marker.  Also, when he scrambled, it's like he thought the play was already over and was just trying to minimize lost yards on the sack.  He completely lost track of his receivers and the fact that he could still throw the ball for a gain.  And way too many times, when we were on 3rd, he would check down or otherwise throw underneath.  Especially against Arkansas, the probability of converting on Greg Davis passes was very low.  Yet time and again, that's where he was putting the ball.

    I don't doubt that he's improved in the off-season, but Card's biggest faults -- the mental ones -- are also the hardest to fix.  Let's go, Ewers.

    Didn't Hall also drop a bunch of easy passes in the championship game? Great talent but too bad he's such a bonehead and never got his shit together.

    I watched his reel from that game  several times. Some of his "drops" were uncatchable, and others, while catchable, would have been difficult. It wasn't like 7 Ingram-vs-LSU drops or anything like that.

    They’re going to promise to drop huge bags. With fingers crossed behind their back.
