    Another vague memory what was going on there - I mean I see the wishbone formation. 

    honored DKR who passed away that week. Ironically, DKR wasn't too keen on passing... and Harsin turned that wishbone into a pass play. lol .

  2. Any recommendations in austin for a good sports bar /brew pub to watch the TCU game? I can't keep up with all the new shit going up, but I have some friends in town interested in catching the game over a beer. 

    Many thanks,

    C. Nuggets

    Omega >> Breitling every day of the week, and twice on Wednesday.

    Not sure about the dive watches, but Breitling's B01 and manual wound variant B09 movement is one of the best mass-produced chronographs on the planet. In-house, column wheel, vertical clutch with 72 hours power reserve. 

    If memory serves, Omega's moon watch uses a lemania base, cam-operated, and like less than 50 hours reserve. 

    The only chronograph in my collection atm is a Breitling Re-issue of their 1959 chronograph. Too busy for some, but the slide rule on the bezel makes for a great party trick.

    EDIT: the question I guess was about the Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope which I didn't know about but looked up. It has a great movement in-house Omega movement - 9908.

    The committee doesn’t have as much love for Georgia right now. I’m thinking though the best thing is for them to beat Bama in their CC if that’s the matchup. Bama beating them makes it more difficult for us I think even though we have a win over them. I think the committee would like for us to be in it. I can only see my weekends being the following:

    Rooting for Texas (always) to win out. 

    Rooting for FSU to lose a regular season game and for ACC to not be in playoffs. Go Miami Go! 

    Hoping somehow that Ohio state/Michigan loses a game and their CC so only one team can advance. Loser gets a  top tier bowl.

    Hoping that Washington wins out so there is no one else to consider from the now demolished Pac12. Oregon just gets a top tier bowl. 
     

    So Texas, Washington, Georgia and probably Meatchikin. I do think the committee would like two Big10 guys so I hope one of them loses one of their next three games and their CCG. 
     

     

    I agree for the most part with the exception of Bama/Georgia title game. I do think we need Bama to win out. We have the head to head and it was on their home turf. That will account for a lot if they win out and become the SeC champs/

    Yes, that combined with paying Jimbo and staff to go away and then overpaying the next savior of aggy football...one has to wonder if there will be enough pennies left in the bank to keep up their "NIL" game plus real NIL?

    They're looking at fleecing donors for over half a Bil over the next few years with zero roi.

    Maybe they can refinance some of their debt to today's interest rates of 8-12% and make their failure complete.

    Our RPO is based on what the seam defender does. If we belly the ball and he crashes we pull it and throw it behind him. Murphy is particularly good at that and it was really working this weekend. Murphy isn't a runner. If you don't believe me try watching the play in high school where he broke his ankle. 

     

    This, you people who want him to scramble, that's not at all who he is. Like asking Stephen Hawking to run stairs.

    If they had played Arch a few series and he looked even more turnover prone than Maalik then 1) holy shit we may be screwed next year and 2) at least we would know, the team would know, and the head coach would know. This game might be a big problem and it would absolutely suck ass if TCU were the team to knock us out of winning the last big 12 title on the way out the door. 

    you're not wrong at all. I wish we'd been able to get both guys into the games earlier this season. I'm looking forward to Sark getting further into his tenure where he's developing experienced depth at QB. We're just not there yet.

    Arch's redshirt has zero to do with the situation. For one, the only way Arch is in college 5 years is if he's a complete bust. Secondly, even if he played against BYU in an all hands on deck tryout and was clearly better than Murphy he could have played every game up until Thanksgiving and kept the redshirt. Third, you know what's more important than a third string QB's redshirt? Winning the fucking conference and getting in the playoff. 

    Also, I think Sark isn't handling this like a true head coach. He's handling it like a former college quarterback and offensive coordinator who refuses to bench one of his guys that he recruited. He did the exact same thing last year with Ewers. Remember the TCU and Oklahoma State games? Even though Ewers was almost solely responsible for losing those games he refused to bench him. He stated that young quarterbacks have to go through those growing pains to develop. A head coach should always put the team ahead of a young quarterback's development, but this one doesn't. And that's going to get us beat if we aren't as lucky as we were last Saturday. 

    Unlike KSU who is built offensively in the worst possible way to attack Texas's best in the country run defense, TCU is built in the best possible way to attack our defense. Their strength is the passing game and their receivers are fast and talented. They will move the ball against us all day long, but somehow they are worse in the red zone than we are, so the defense is going to have to make plays to keep them to field goals. I do not feel good going on the road with a turnover prone, inaccurate quarterback against a team whose offense can easily attack our weakness. Unfortunately, we don't have a head coach like Saban to save Sark from his worst tendencies. 

    I listened to On Texas Football last night too... they made the EXACT same points in your post.....

    Doesn't mean Arch won't have the same "growing pains" and we are just rinsing and repeating if we start him. Malik may improve in game 3. Who knows.
