    Here is a factual recap of the last three games and the ensuing surly reactions:

    Sam plays poorly/erratically for 55-57 minutes, often missing wide open receivers by a country mile, holding onto the ball WAY too long while his O line regularly gives him 7 seconds to throw, failing you utilize check downs that could easily help move the chains, and then missing obvious reads on read plays, leading to no gain/loss of yards on what could have been a good play. 

    then in the final couple minutes + OT he goes off, padding his stats and his TD totals on the way to a fairly impressive looking box score.

    then, despite the fact that your eyeballs just told you that he was not very good for 98% of regulation, with a stat line along the lines of 12-27 for 200 yards through 55 minutes, the same group of Sam Ehlinger zealots angrily storm the thread, posting his box score totals and going full jihad on anyone who says that Sam Ehlinger is anything less than a demigod who is being sabotaged by everyone around him. Complete refusal to engage in any sort of adult discussion, opting instead for blind, fanatical, and frankly combative love and support for the guy. (gee, feels like i've seen that somewhere else lately)

    That shit ^*^ is fucking pathetic and embarrassing. You know what my least favorite thing about Sam Ehlinger is? His cultists. Sam has often been compared to Tim Tebow, and much like Tebow, it's the completely unnecessary and baseless slurping/worshipping of this guy that starts making me dislike him. It's not anything that he himself does- he busts his ass and he tries his best, obvious imperfections and all. I got love for the guy because of that. It's these people who aggressively Stan him so hard that grind my gears, much more than anything that Sam himself does. You Sam Stans are honestly fucking bat shit crazy lunatics who need Sam to move on from this program for your own mental health, and i say that with 100% sincerity. Christ this cult like following he has is disturbing, and i've honestly  seen anything like it before at Texas. 

    This recaps his play this year almost perfectly. Except you left out him throwing it into receivers feet and behind the receiver so it’s not in stride even when they do catch it.

    A shot at running into the back of the o line? They did that...in spades.

    My point exactly. The TV commentators even noticed Sam should not have handed off some of those

    He scored 100% of our touchdowns and gained 93% of our offensive yards despite our awful OL. Feel free to name anyone else on our offense who did anything worth mentioning.

    Angilau, Jones, Ingram, Kerstetter, Bujcevski, and Eagles have all stood out for their mistakes far more.

     

    Not true. For one thing, Sam touches the ball in every play. His work matters more. I’d rather my team win than lose but this is a thread about the qb and he just hasn’t been effective. Even on his connections, he’s often been late. I don’t know why or what’s going on. Maybe lack of confidence in his receivers? Too cautious? But you can see with your own eyes that he’s late with balls OFTEN even on completions. 
     

    And he runs the RB into tackles with the wrong read often. I’m sometimes they’re thinking WTF?

    Probably has something to do with the OL being incapable of pass blocking worth a shit. Or our inability to generate a running game without running Sam. Or the general inability of our WRs to get separation. Or our continual insistence of playing Brewer even though he can't get open and can't block. We also refuse to use tempo even when its the only time our offense clicks.

    Sam is also missing blitzes and failing to check into the right plays. Then he’s failing to get the ball out and taking unnecessary sacks. He’s making the wrong run reads repeatedly and that’s costly in this scheme. He’s also missing wide open Brewer and other receivers. Sorry. It just is what it is. He didn’t need to score six TDS if he plays better early.

  5. Sam has been perhaps the worst individual player on the field for Texas for two weeks now. Maybe he’s injured or more to the story. I don’t know. I just know he’s made maybe a couple dozen bad run reads, wrong reads in the passing game and poor throws. He stands out for his mistakes more than anyone.

    Umm, (oops) I forgot to stick Kansas State in the east division:

    Pac8 division -

    Washington
    Oregon
    California/ UCLA/ USC
    Arizona/ Arizona State
    Colorado

    ---

    Big8 division -

    Iowa State
    Kansas/ Kansas State
    Oklahoma/ Oklahoma State
    Texas/ TCU/ Texas Tech

    #1 I doubt you’d be able to leave Baylor out.

    #2 If you were to decide between Baylor and TCU, Baylor is a lot more valuable to keep.

    Well, just to toss this in, it seems chatter is about of Washington looking to ditch Wazzu (in a move with Oregon/USC/UCLA/Arizona State/Colorado) to XII:

    I hope they remain loyal to the conference but if USC bails the conference will start to unravel. I could see a Big 12/Pac merger and leaving out about half the schools.

    UW, Oregon, USC, UCLA, Arizona State and Colorado to the Big XII would be awesome.

  8. It's going to be interesting to see how the COVID-19 fallout impacts everything. Could be harder for conferences to secure large contracts. Could be easier since live programming might become even more sought after. I've not thought much about CV19 impact on sports, but I feel like a huge shift is coming. Things are NOT going to be the same kind of normal. 

    Some schools will cancel sports - some might even cancel football?

    A few leagues will contract. Maybe leagues like the MAC and CUSA downgrade?

    All in all, I think everything works out well for Texas. Status quo was our enemy. Shifting landscapes make large, profitable properties even more valuable.

    Maybe we can tell the SEC we'll come with OU but you have to kick A&M out? (That's a joke.)

    Do far as I can tell, the vast majority of hogs love life in the SEC.

    Living so much of my recent life in Texarkana and having gone to a few games in Fayetteville, I'll say that must hogs I know would give their left arm to have regular games with Texas and Oklahoma and even Oklahoma State. None of them feel like they have a true SEC rival. They just don't want to be seen as quitters.

     

    Money wise the costs saved plus increased sales from actually winning would do them good. Watch attendance if they don't win this year... The BIG12 won't have to invite them. In a couple of years they'll be begging.

     

    I think Colorado should come back as well as Nebraska but that's just opinion and wish. For Arkansas it just makes business sense.

    If it's only about money, sure, CO is the only school that should return to the Big 12.

    Arky, NE, and MO would all benefit by coming back from a recruiting and competitive standpoint. They need TX recruits to build up their programs.

    Arkansas would win financially very quicklyjust with the travel money saved across all sports.
