  1. AJ was an important piece of Manning coming to Texas. I don’t know whether he’s key now or not.
  2. Embarrassed about passing out under the quesadilla bar?
  3. Last year you could tell from Arch’s limited appearances he really wasn’t ready to be the #1 QB. Despite playing reasonably well, you could see his limitations. Today’s poor performance was shocking. Not only was it not better, it was substantially worse than last year. As a result, it really isn’t unreasonable to make the argument that Quinn might have played much better and might have pulled out a win. But since that could never happen, why revisit history?
  4. I misread this at first as “he rolled a dube (aka doobie)…”
  5. Oh no, he’s lost control and is threatening people. I wonder if he soiled his diaper.
  6. Little does he realize he just create a gif/meme of himself for eternity.
  7. Oh no, he’s turned to insults to try and deal with his insecurities.
  8. Uh oh, I triggered the sensitive little baby boomer.
  9. If you think Sark’s game plan today was acceptable, you are delusional. If you thought Arch wasn’t terrible today, you are delusional. Was Arch bad because of Arch, or because of Sark? That is the question. Quinn is in the NFL. That either means Sark developed him so well he made the NFL, or so misused him at Texas he didn’t perform that great at Texas. These are the questions we ponder.
  10. Guy I played golf with was a Dominos manager, managed to have two failing stores sold to him for nothing because Dominos was struggling at the time, and just sold them for $10M. Nice story for a “blue collar” guy.
  11. I don’t have a problem with any of his decisions to go for it on fourth down. I have an issue with every single call he made going for it on fourth down.
  12. This is my fear. Sark is a great guy who’s very well liked and has some really good capabilities, but he just may not be smart enough or ruthless enough to get to the promised land. I hope he can.
  13. I only have two concerns, but they are both big. 1) Can Sark create and execute an effective offensive game plan against a top ~5-8 team with a good coach? 2) Can Arch Manning quit looking like ass in three weeks? The first is an issue we’ve all been aware of now for going on three seasons. The Arch concern today was a massive new shock.
  14. Go RLI direct on their website. They are the best in the business for umbrella.
  15. There is something to what you are saying. He gets so stubborn about just running it into a stacked line on 4th and 1. Over and over and over. It’s like he’s trying to will his team into being so damn tough they can move the line on anyone. But guess what. You can’t when you are playing OSU, Georgia, Bama, etc.
  16. It’s not the loss. Or the score. It’s the complete futility on offense, just like Georgia twice, OSU twice….There’s really no excuse for that much futility.
  17. Focus on this point for a minute. How many times have we seen mediocre teams play Texas over the last several years where they methodically throw short passes and work their way down the field against our defense: short curls, slants, screens, outs, etc. Those teams don’t have 4-5 star receivers. They have a scheme to sit in the open areas of zone coverage, or run specific routes that are geared towards beating man, like the slant. The lack of effective scheme and game planning is why the offense was bad, and then with Arch throwing poorly and receivers not getting separation on the wrong routes, the offense was putrid.
  18. The people placing most of the blame for this game on just Arch and mistakes/penalties don’t really know what they are talking about. Arch was bad. But every game is going to have mistakes and this one was no different. What was deeply concerning can be summed up by the constant fourth down and red zone failures by Sark’s offense, along with play calling and scheming at times that was really really poor. He doesn’t know how to scheme against strong defenses. He just doesn’t. Look at Georgia, OSU, etc. Every time he plays a strong defense we see the same sort of dysfunction. I don’t think I can watch any more failed 4th down runs into a stacked defensive line. It’s ridiculous. CHANGE THINGS UP SOMETIMES. What’s really weird is that he’s usually good for a few gadget plays a game where you are in awe. But what I’m talking about is fundamentally different running game tactics and receiver routes.
  19. Arch didn’t look good. But Sark really had a poor game plan and scheme and in game play calling. He even was requiring Arch to make some tough throws. Compare that to Quinn last year where Quinn had a bunch of easy throws. This loss is 80% on Sark the OC and 20% on Arch and the team.
  20. Thank the lord for Livingstone, our only clutch player.
  21. While Arch hasn’t played well, Sark has put together a disaster scheme and game plan for this game. Just look at how plain vanilla this passing game is. It’s terrible. Worst I’ve seen from him.
  22. See you boys next year.
  23. Glad they solved their red zone problems with innovative play calling.
  24. I guess the second half could be just as futile as the first offensively, but something doesn’t seem right. The offensive scheme, the play calling, the QB play, looks remarkably weak. Is it really that bad, or for the first time is Sark trying to save some things for the second half? I doubt it, but I guess we’ll find out shortly.
  25. I completely believe this. For years I had to figure out my own complex Excel formulas to do various things. It required a lot of focus and brainpower. Now I just ask ChatGPT and spend a few minutes debugging its wrong answers. Way faster and easier.
