Arch is bad. But he’s looking worse because of terrible OL protection a lot, and a bad scheme for him (at this point in time in his development) Caldwell wasn’t brought in for Owen’s, was he? It was for Arch.
-
You don’t produce this type of ineptness and flatulence due to just one issue. This offense is an absolute disaster from start to finish. 1. our OC has the worst possible scheme and play calling possible given the talent 2. the talent at QB, OL, and WR is completely underperforming and it’s a combination of lack of development and lack of execution by the players. 3. the recruiting is off in the OL. 4. There is a cultural issue. This team is always slow out of the gate, slow to perform, and always plays down to its opponents level. None of this is likely to get fixed imo.

Well it was nice to see two slants for the first time this year.
-
So if it’s all Arch why can’t Texas hardly ever run the ball well either? It’s not all Arch and it’s obvious.
-
That’s true. You see other teams really drill the slants, the outs, the ins, the button hooks in the 3-7 yard range. Sark must spend every practice throwing bombs, bubble screens, and long developing fly routes. It’s ridiculous. He’s just not smart enough to figure all this out. It’s why he got canned in the pros. He’s been a huge beneficiary of great talent due to NIL but now he’s wasting it all. Receivers, QB, etc.
-
No amount of scheme is going to help Arch be accurate on easy throws to wide open receivers. He’s not performing either. So who is that on? Also, Arch holds the ball for 3-5 seconds on every pass play because they have no quick hitter plays. That’s one example of many how coaching and scheme can help a player.

This offensive scheme is fundamentally broken. And it has been for awhile. He better change, or it’s going to get hot next year.

The odds are low. For sure. But what gave me a bit of hope is that there was a text thread of folks that all understand who Trump really is, and what conservatives are really doing. We discovered later that a Trump supporter had been added to the text string. As I looked at all the texts railing on Trump by a whole bunch of people on our group, I realized that stuff was going to start to sink in on this person. He was hearing it from a huge group of his closest friends. It was almost like an accidental intervention.

I’m confused. I just checked Ticketmaster and A&M tickets are $500+. Vanderbilt $190+.

There are probably five three letter federal agencies that can track and identify you from turned off electronics.

The commutation of Santos’ sentence finally did it for me. I lost it. But in the heat of that moment I decided what I specifically am going to do to resist against this bs. I’m doing two specific things. First I’m taking on one friend at a time to try and sit down with them and debate it all out in the hopes of changing one person’s mind. If every one of us flipped just one person we know, we’d flip future elections. And I’m not trying to flip them to Democrats. After all I’m not a Democrat. Instead I’m trying to change their thinking around the type of qualities and behaviors they should expect from elected officials. And I’m trying to help them understand what position they think they are taking in politics vs what they are actually taking. One example is the person who says they believe in “conservative values” . This government is not following conservative values right now To do this, I’m going to have to construct an argument that addresses most or all of the reasons why people have chosen to date to support this crap. It’s a combination of fighting disinformation and changing their perspective and giving them facts. And I will have to give them clarity on what they should do while not abandoning their core beliefs, even if they are misguided. Does this seem like an impossible task? Yes. That’s why I I have part 2 of my plan, which I already started last night. I had an uncomfortable conversation with the person in our group who is the most liked. He is fully aware of the Trump bs and illegal/immoral behavior of this administration and Republican party. But he says he doesn’t know what he can do about it. He’s only one guy. He always steers away from politics among a mixed group of us. I convinced him to think the same way as me. Help me flip one guy in our group. Rather than steer away, privately work on one guy at a time, respectfully. Now our friends will be hearing it from two of us, the guy they like the most and me, who they regard as generally the most knowledgeable in the group. If all of us flipped just one relative or friend, we could get control of this mess.

This put me over the edge. I’ll post my response in the resistance thread.

What are you able to watch on YouTube? We cut Uverse and haven’t missed it. We are using YouTube tv right now and are starting to think we don’t need that either.

Take a hard look at this pic. It’s probably going to lead to a Nobel prize. I violated the laws of physics. I put wax paper over a plate of pasta before heating it up. As I moved to put the plate in the microwave, the wax paper somehow wedged into a millimeter wide gap between the microwave cover and the rest of the microwave. Weird and unusual, but I’ll just pull the wax paper out. Nope. The wax paper somehow wedged into that tiny gap so forcefully that it was impossible to pull out. And I do mean impossible. Pliers. Tweezers. Knives. Screwdrivers. Nothing worked. Think about that for a second. A millimeter thick piece of wax paper somehow flies thru the air in such a way as to perfectly wedge into a one mm gap so forcefully that it can’t be removed. I’ve made my reservations to Norway.

I think in theory your thoughts are sound. The problem is that the cost of private schools will far outweigh the vouchers. So how will those with limited means gain access? They won’t, except for a few “token” acceptances that come with more financial aid. The majority of those with limited means will just have bad choice. And by limited, I mean 70%+ of the population living within the school district boundaries.
