  1. This is about offense in general, but breaks down some good and bad Quinn plays.
  2. Is it right that the last time we weren't favored was at Alabama last year?
  3. I saw Midlake in a small Houston club around 2007. Was with a big group that was mostly interested in staying near the bar during the opener, so I decided to go up front. This tiny girl with big red nerdy glasses walks on stage and proceeds to blow my mind for 45 minutes. Never seen anything like her and I'll always remember that moment. I'm glad Annie Clark made it big, truly deserving and an amazing talent. I always come back to this great cover.
  4. The silver lining with the placekicker situation is it will force Sark and Quinn to be more aggressive. Maybe it backfires, but I believe we need gunslinger Quinn to win this game.
  5. I guess never say never, but I'd be floored if Sark went to the NFL after this year. One, it would send shockwaves through the sport. Sark is probably the most well positioned HC in all of CFB right now. NIL, recruiting, portal, coaching staff, and Arch Manning for the next 2+ years...nobody has it better. He has a decided advantage over most of the competition. From the NFL side, play calling and game management are probably Sark's biggest weaknesses so far at Texas. The things he's proven to be best at for Texas don't really translate to NFL head coaching. Way more parity in pro football that should take the shine off Sark for most GMs IMO. Then from Sark's point of view, he got the job as OC for the Falcons after a short stint as an Alabama analyst. He was promptly fired 2 years later when Dan Quinn decided to clean house with coaching staff. Sark then immediately returned to Alabama as OC. The NFL can chew you up and spit you out. Why risk an amazing situation for a tenuous one? Doubtful he would get more money in the NFL. He'd most likely take over a crappy team with a not ideal QB situation. I get that there is WAY more bullshit and travel involved in CFB, but who's to say he doesn't like it? He's clearly very good at it.
  6. Add Michigan to that list. Wingo's 55 yard end around inflated the stats. The running game was effective enough, but we didn't run it particularly well.
  7. The lesson here: do not try to fuck a Los Angeles Persian girl. There are consequences.
  8. I was high last night and ran into this clip on YouTube. What. The. Fuck.
  9. I want to thank Ohio State for playing extremely well the last 2 games after shitting themselves against Michigan. Texas being a clear underdog for the first time this year is just what they needed to wake up and play their best.
  10. Football is complicated. There is so much nuance to the game, that's what makes it the best sport in the world. If you don't want to participate in detailed discussions, that's your prerogative. But please don't talk down to people because you're not willing to go deeper. We didn't really run the ball well vs. Michigan. Take out Wingo's 55 yard end around, and our leading rusher was 36 yards from Gibson on 10 carries. Running was effective enough, but what made our offense click was Quinn's efficiency and getting RZ TDs.
  11. Can someone give me a good reason for Helm not being involved until late in the game? I have a hard time believing Sark can't scheme plays for him. Felt like this happened in 2nd UGA game as well.
  12. It happens in many ways. A ST or defensive touchdown and penalties that extend opponent's drives. This game went off schedule very early. A part of that was our own decision to go for a punt block after the first drive.
  13. When I see all this AI "art" bullshit, I think back to Thujone's artistic genius. We need him. The world needs him.
  14. Tip for Tessitore: when you call every play like it's the biggest play of the game, then none of the actual big play calls have any gravitas behind them. Stop. Get help.
  15. Mack Brown en route to close the deal. *ducks*
  16. It was 14-3 Texas halfway through the 1st quarter. The punt return TD kind of replaced the possible blocked punt TD, and it still ended up not serving us that well. The main reason the game got stressful is because our offense couldn't stay on the field and get in a rhythm. We had the ball for like 4 total minutes of 1st and 3rd quarter combined. Crazy.
  17. Milwee is upstairs in the booth, right? I wonder if he and Sark are talking throughout the game.
  18. Especially due to PK being perfectly happy as a coordinator with no/little desire to be a HC. The continuity is massive for us.
  19. I would be shocked if Arch only starts for one year at Texas. The media is gonna run with it, but I don't think that's his plan.
  20. Want to give credit to Ewers as well for his 3rd down TD run to put us up 24-8. The frustration with Quinn has been the inability to just make a play at crucial points of a game. To be fair, he hasn't had a ton of opportunities the way things played out this year. But he was making huge plays throughout 4th quarter and OT. Respect.
  21. Brian Robison and Rod Babers in post-game said they think it was a pre-determined throw to Bond. For them it seemed like the only explanation that made sense. If so, I would put some of the blame on Sark for the play call as he knows how Quinn operates.
  22. Agreed! Combine that punt block penalty with the 2 play scoring drive and Bolden punt PR TD, and it created a situation where the offense couldn't get in rhythm early and it affected us for the rest of the 1st half. Our defense held up for a long time with ASU owning TOP, but it eventually caught up with us in the 4th quarter. It's always weird to say it, but I've watched enough football to notice. Sometimes an early defensive or special teams TD can end up being detrimental. The opponent gets the ball back quickly and has a chance to figure things out while your offense continues to sit and defense goes right back out there.
  23. Yes, it was play action and Quinn had quick feet/movement in the pocket to step up and in to that throw. His footwork is usually so terrible that it becomes very noticeable when it's good.
