  1. Believe what you want for whatever reason you choose.  I just don’t see Baylor “down” because they lost a tough game yesterday.  Aranda doesn’t have to do much to convince them they’re competitive against Sark’s roller coaster …

    I’m not saying Baylor will be “down.” I’m saying cherry-picking one game to judge relative performance probably doesn’t provide a lot of insight.

  2. I'm glad the basketball team paid its dues for past sins that included hiring Shaka. It took all of... two seasons... for them to reverse those sins and have one of the best teams in the country under the new head coach. 
    But that is just totally unattainable for the football team, right, [mention=1790]Thatguy[/mention]? 
    We need at least 3-4 seasons to turn this thing around, right?
    Because no college football program has ever turned it around in less than 3 seasons. 

    If only there were, you know, meaningful differences between building a 44-man two deep with lines that require strength few 18 year olds have relative to 22 years old and building an 8, maybe 9, man rotation in basketball. A couple of players, or even one, can carry a basketball team. VY was a badass, but Texas wasn’t going to win it all without a lot of other badasses.

    Yeah, of course, other programs have turned it around more quickly. I wonder how many of the ones that did so were so rotten to the core that they were up in arms over their school song.

    Look at the roster turnover. This is a foundation up rebuild with many areas of weakness and youth remaining. And, yeah, some WTF coaching decisions.

    This team, from the ground up, would play the one here when Sarkisian arrived and kick its teeth in. Progress is being made and more is needed.

  3. A QB is treated differently than any other player, and he wasn't sliding.

    We've often seen an INT near the end of the game where the defender falls down to protect the possession. Lots of those guys get hit right after their knee hits the ground but it's not called because they do it just before the hit. Not enough to time to pull up. Doesn't matter that he was in the end zone. He stayed up until before the hit. It's a live ball.

    It’s not just QBs who can slide.

    Awful call.

    If you’re fine with it, we’re just not going to agree.
  4. He was STARTING to give himself up. Replay showed the knee didn't touch ground until a split second before the hit. If the receiver pulls up and the interceptor decided to run it out? Whistle wasn't blown. Play was still live. If he gets hit before the knee goes down and the ball pops out and goes out of bounds then it's a touch back. Play to the whistle.

    But yeah, if be pissed of it was picked up against us, but I'd understand the reasoning whether I agreed or not.

    A player who slides but hasn’t hit the ground yet has STARTED to give himself up. That’s what giving yourself up IS.

    Awful call.
  5. Maybe, but it was a live ball until a half-second before the hit. Play to the whistle.

    Player is giving himself up in the end zone. Knee on the ground. Shoulder to the head.

    If that one is going to be rationalized away, anything the officials call tonight is good to go.
  6. Youre right but idk if id consider that bama game "meaningful". It was an OOC game that basically had 0 stakes other than "its bama".  

    Not all that meaningful in retrospect. It would’ve had meaning and stakes had leads been closed out. Given that they weren’t, though, this one is more meaningful.

  7. I mean, he is right based on everything the body work to this point.

    That said, if I’m Sark, I’m playing a clip of that in a locker room. Simple message: This was broadcast on national TV from our own campus. What are we going to do about it?

    Trust your QB against a 9 man front, celebrate, prep for Baylor.
