  1. No one has argued that he didn’t.
  2. He looked better against Bama than Ewers looked against OSU (an also-ran, not a who’s ago-a 7-6 team that finished below Texas Tech). That was probably the worst performance I’ve ever seen by a Texas QB. It made me long for Tyrone Swoopes. I don’t think you can look at that performance vs Card over the rest of the year against comparable opponents and argue with a straight face he wouldn’t have done better. But we’re getting far away from the point. I’m essentially agreeing with your argument just above that pulling the QB can hinder their development. I think that’s the same decision making process Sark went through then.
  3. You can make that same argument in reverse, though. Ewers’ worst game was against OSU, where he completed fewer than 40% of his passes and threw 3 picks. They finished the year ranked as the #115 in defense in college football-worse than any team Card started against. The point isn’t that he was a better player or that anyone would want him over Ewers today, but if he could have stepped in as relief and played better in a couple of specific games. Almost certainly so. But I think Sark made the decision to punt on the short term win for Ewers (and the team) to develop into what they are this season.
  4. Oh I don’t think that’s dubious at all watching Card last year vs Ewers in those two games. People never got over how Card looked as a freshman at Arkansas (ironically, given the tone of much of this thread) and allowed it to irrevocably color their judgment of him, where last year in relief he completed nearly 70% of his passes with only 1 INT. Ewers was absolute garbage in those games, throwing balls to no one in particular, completing less than half his passes, turning it over. It’s why we essentially abandoned the passing game against KU and Baylor. There’s no doubt in my mind Card would have outplayed him at that time if brought in based on his body of work last season-and I believe that’s precisely why he didn’t play him, because of the potential repercussions. He was willing to sacrifice the wins in the short term for the longterm development of Ewers (and the team). I hated that move last year; this year, you can argue it looks like it paid off.
  5. Oh come on. No one buys that. That doesn’t even make sense in the context of what you posted. It’s ok to admit when you’re wrong.
  6. The fact that they loop one section of “Shot Through the Heart” 73 times in the trailer rather than playing that glorious theme song makes me not want to see it.
  7. I would have thought Martin Maldonado behind the plate would have made any pitching decisions moot anyway.
  8. That made sense in the days before you could play and not burn the redshirt. Not so much now. Whatever “too early” means.
  9. No, you were wrong on the timeline.
  10. In Colt's second year as a starter, Jevan Snead was sitting out the season at Ole Miss because he'd transferred.
  11. No, you’re the idiot who mistakes scheme for needless complexity. You probably got your football knowledge from The Waterboy and think Sark wakes around with a magic notebook where he draws up plays.
  12. Were you watching him short hop it today?
  13. If you keep making this nonsensical argument, maybe eventually you’ll be right. Or maybe you’ll sober up tomorrow and realize how dumb it is.
  14. They pretty much have to add at least one bat to play LF/DH.
  15. Because you’re a fan. “Feel” is the key word in that sentence.
  16. Strong disagree. I thought it was delicious. It’s even better if you sub in a spicy breast for the regular.
  17. No one ever is to this board.
  18. Well, no. The last thing he did was drown.
  19. Could you BE any more inappropriate?
  20. Wasn’t he like 20 pounds heavier last year when he broke his clavicle?
  21. Was there an 18 wheeler short yardage play for Peyton Manning?
  22. I didn’t say that to begin with.
