WTF is up with Colin Simmons? I’m at the game and looks s-l-o-w, slow BGO, getting locked up 1v1 against the tackle.

Yes, it's a 6.5mm foam shock pad that designed to go under putting green fake grass. It's still really hard to get a ball to sit on the surface. 90% of the time I when I hit it, it bounces off unless I do a huge flop shot and even then. But, it's a good challenge. Here's the build, spoiler because it's long:

Maybe y'all will be interested in this, I saw this online somewhere and thought "that looks fun" so I built my own cornhole-style chipping boxes. Basically you chip from one to the other. Put them as close or as far as you need. I was working my 60 degree and had them kinda close in this picture. It's actually super hard to land it, you have to put a ton of backspin on the ball. 7 points for holing it, 3 points for getting on the box, otherwise 1 point for closest to the pin. Play to 21. It's fun and you get to work on your short game. And no, I don't water our backyard grass during the summer I did a pretty extensive set of photos during the build process, LMK if anyone would like a post on the build.

In theory but Texas plays best when we are challenged and can play up to our competition. If we're playing Houston, SMU, and Tech those games mean 10X more to them than to us (aka "jihad") and we get complacent and soft. That's not an excuse for losing those games, it's an observation of how it actually worked.

Alabama Football - Now Featuring Kalen DeBoer
Horn of Gabriel replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
Bama needs about a 50 year walk in the desert like we had over the 10 years from the end of Mack through Strong and Herman. Fuck those guys. After them, Ohio State needs a 100 year meltdown, since they've never had an extended down period, those fucks. -
God help us if we end up back with a SWC redux of Tech, Baylor, UH, TCU, A&M, and SMU.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Horn of Gabriel replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Do you see the problem here? -
I don't think it should be shocking that we score fewer points on elite teams. Everyone scores fewer on elite teams. There isn't a chasm between Texas and Ohio State. It was a one score game and we didn't play well at the QB position. Last year it was also close in so called "big" games, other than UGA1. We're not losing due to systemic deficiencies, it's in the margins. Flip 1-2 calls or plays and the result flips. I believe Sark can get us there.

Hire a fucking offensive play caller
Horn of Gabriel replied to BurntOrange&White's topic in Football
You might as well post "Alexandria Daddario should suck my cock" because it's about as likely to happen as Sark hiring a real OC. Narrator: it's not going to happen. If the administration tried to force it to happen at some point, Sark would probably leave. He sees game planning and play calling as one of his strengths and views hiring an OC to do that as depriving the team of that strength, which to him would be dumb. You can disagree, but you don't get Sark the recruiter without Sark the play caller. -
The Good Defense - holding them to 14 when we aren't doing anything on offense was commendable Run defense - held them to under 2.5 yards/rush is good Pass defense - minimized explosive plays to 1 and took Smith out of the game again Punting - Boom-meister lived up to his name and buried one inside the 5. O line - about 200 yards rush, and they got a pretty good push. Pass blocking wasn't perfect but was good enough. Baxter had a really good blitz pickup at one point. Baxter - coming back from the injury, great to see it. The Bad Sark's offensive gameplan and script - looked to play to Arch's weaknesses instead of strengths. Not many screens or bootlegs. Didn't put Arch on the move where he had an option to pull it down and use his legs. Minimal motion compared to other big games, which helps decode the defense for the QB. No pony package to help force the defensive alignments. Penalties - too many false starts and holding. The Ugly Arch's accuracy - far too many passes were either airmailed, or in the dirt. Threw behind receivers (like Wingo on the 2nd to last pass), under threw (interception), or missed open receivers. Some of that is 1st real game timing issues, but for the first half it was really ugly. 37% of passes were off target per ESPN, highest by a Texas QB in the past 10 years. Woof. Arch's footwork and mechanics - related to the accuracy issue above but he threw many off his back foot and tried to sidearm several throws which was unnecessary. The Mahomes-effect? WR separation - namely the lack thereof. Wingo didn't break free much, and Moore was MIA. Credit to Jaggerson for getting just enough open on the TD catch.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Horn of Gabriel replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
This can't be, because I know I've read multiple Derka posts on this thread about how Quinn was the 4th best QB on campus and Sark had "a fucking Manning" rested and ready on the bench. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Horn of Gabriel replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
You play the schedule you get. Sayin didn't seem to have accuracy issues. That last toss to Wingo can't be on him. You're asking a WR who has created separation and has nothing but green field in front of him to anticipate that his QB is going to put it short and behind and throttle down? That's dumb. Arch straight up missed that throw, it wasn't even behind it was WAY behind him, and Wingo had to stop and contort his torso just to get a finger on it. If it was on target that was a first down minimum and potentially even an explosive play. -
Arch Manning: Doing his best JAG impression to fool scouts
Horn of Gabriel replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
Are you referring to the 1st one he threw into double coverage, or the 2nd one he threw that got intercepted? -
Arch Manning: Doing his best JAG impression to fool scouts
Horn of Gabriel replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
Mmmm gonna have to disagree with you on some of these. His pocket presence was OK and he didn't self-sack, which was good. But he did rush several throws and ended up airmailing or throwing them into the dirt. The long ball shot to Wingo was bad. It was forced into coverage, it was under thrown, and it was to the inside where the coverage had leverage instead of the boundary where at worst it would have been incomplete. -

Horn of Gabriel replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
You're maximizing QE's bad and minimizing his good. Yeah he had self sacks. He also was elite at hitting the short/intermediate throw on target, which was a key missing element today. -

Agree with this. But in the heat of the moment right now people are gonna say "that's aggy thinking" -

The last game we played the QB passed for 283 and 2TDs against the same team. That's a weird one to pick. -
Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
Horn of Gabriel replied to SimkinsMan's topic in Football
It can be, and in this case was both the QB and the OC at fault. OC faults: Ongoing stubbornness in the red zone and on 4th down Not taking the points after getting stonewalled Poor game planning: minimal bootlegs, waggles, moving the pocket. Seemed to play to Arch's weakness vs. his strengths. Pre-snap penalties QB faults: Inaccuracy, even with minimal/no pressure in his face - I counted at least 4 throws just totally in the dirt and another 3-4 way over the head of the WR Forcing the throw to Wingo for the INT, coverage was there and throw was inside not to the boundary Missing wide open WRs to go to the higher risk option (first toss/fade in the end zone to Jaggerson) -
They don’t. But Manning didn’t just throw bad balls he threw uncatchable balls. Jerry Rice isn’t catching a ball in the dirt 5 feet in front of him, or a ball behind him as he’s running the opposite way in his route.
-
Shit ass throw way behind him
-
Runs and check downs. Sark doesn’t trust manning to throw against this D

I feel you but let's reserve meteor for aggy vs. ou or bama v. georgia. This game isn't meteor worthy, it's more of a "I hope they run out of beer and everyone is sad" game

That man on the street interview with the Irish was pretty funny. "What do you think is Kansas State's mascot?" "Probably... a tractor" I mean they're not wrong
