  1. My informal poll of how often republicans show up on news stories vs democrats indicates about a 10:1 advantage for republicans. Given republicans control the presidency and congress, there certainly should be an advantage. But 10:1? The main constituency that is supposed to keep politicians from creating dictatorial control of the US is almost completely silent. The people at least are doing something, like the No Kings protests. But most Democrat politicians and the party? Worthless. This shutdown is the perfect example. Democrats should be hammering this over and over on the news. As a side note, I personally don’t like how the democrats have tackled the aca subsidies issue at all. But that’s a different discussion.
  2. Can you talk some more about this? Amidst all of these worthless posts you’ve actually posted something that may have some value.
  3. Losing Taaffe is a killer
  4. I use exclusively chicken.
  5. I am hoping so so hard that Texas goes undefeated from here on out and makes the playoffs, so people have to come back on here and eat a serious amount of crow, me included.
  6. Ok, but we don’t want the Irish.
  7. I haven’t heard of others either, but if I were the coach of a college team I would have immediately gone out to evaluate it. The impact on Daniels was dramatic and immediate in college and also in the nfl.
  8. Oh great. Now three quarters of surly will be asking for the address of this convention.
  9. I assume the team has evaluated and is using the latest technologies to perform better in games, such as Cognilize, the software Jayden Daniel’s used to win the Heisman. If they aren’t, why not? It completely transformed Daniel’s decision making.
  10. Not watching. Maybe just press conference coach speak?
  11. The OU type spread offense has gotten shit on for over 20 years, because that OU team was the only one that won a tile with it. The ā€œexpertsā€ kept saying that type of offense couldn’t get yards against good defenses. Maybe there is some truth to that, but I sit around all Saturday and see average teams all over the country put up big offensive numbers with it, or a variant of it. Annoying as heck, while I watch Texas sputter around all the time. Take some concepts from that offense, mix in some Sark beliefs, and run a better offense.
  12. I’d take 8-4, but that’s a huge disappointment.
  13. To the question of Texas’ experience vs other SEC teams: I don’t really see any big conclusions from this, other than the fact Vanderbilt is a highly experienced team.
  14. That series was so good.
  15. The situation is weird and the family is getting no information. That’s why I was thinking maybe alcohol related. As you can imagine it’s rough on the family.
  16. If someone is in the hospital for over a week and won’t tell relatives why, could it be related to alcoholism and trying to dry out?
  17. While Arch hasn’t been very good and certainly hasn’t lived up to his ranking and name so far, I still have hope he continues to improve this year and we are talking after the A&M game how Texas finished strong and Arch finished strong. Will that happen? After one of these terrible performances it seems like an impossibility, but with a few days to digest it, I’m a bit more optimistic.
  18. I’ve passed by Lupe’s for about 5 years and never went in, primarily because of the hate on Surly. We went today because we had a gift card. It wasn’t bad. Had barbacoa egg tacos for brunch and it was decent. A little expensive but not terrible considering inflation today.
  19. This is the one major disadvantage to watching a game on the tv vs in person. In person you can quickly see every route, who’s open, etc. I would like to hear from knowledgeable posters who have seen multiple games live. Even if the routes are more slow developing, is Arch late to see them? He was doing a lot of that in previous games, so my criticism of Sark may be a little too harsh.
  20. What’s the downside of that offense? Or in other words why is Sark running offense A while Kiffin runs offense B given they both hung out under Saban?
  21. I’m fascinated by the contrast in situations between Kiffin at Ole Miss and his QB, vs Sark and Arch. Every play, Kiffin right before the snap tells the QB where to go with the ball. If the defense doesn’t completely disguise its coverage, presumably the play has a high chance of success. Ole Miss is scoring points. However, to win a title your QB needs to be able to read coverages, because sooner or later you will run into well disguised defenses. I don’t know why Smart did so poorly at it yesterday.
  22. I would really encourage this board to not go down the Sark replacement path because it won’t happen for another 2+ years, unless some sort of ā€œfor causeā€ issue were to happen. The organization is still behind him and will give him the time to fix the issues. They just gave him an extension. Just hope he’s one of those rare individuals that can recognize their own limitations and make the decisions necessary to fix the problems.
  23. I’m not concerned in the least about Arch’s body language in the press conference. But it drives my wife insane when she sees him on the sideline just sitting there with a blank stare on his face, doing nothing, and no one talking to him.
  24. I will sunshine pump one thing. I’ve been begging Texas to run a quick hitter route like a slant, and not a fucking bubble screen, all year long. When shit got tight in the 4th quarter last night Sark called 2!!!! Progress.
