He met with Saudi officials at Mar a Lago while he had nuclear secrets in the bathroom there. You know, the people who gave his son in law $2 billion. You don't really have to do the Charlie Kelly board for this one.
So the answer is "no" then?

Forget all of the complaints about Trump except for one. Can you truthfully answer one thing about Trump for me so that I can at least understand the mindset of the people that put him back in office? Here is my question:
He was caught with thousands of top secret documents and actively did everything possible to hide them and keep them from the government. There is no other reasonable conclusion than he planned to, or was already, selling national secrets for political and or monetary gains. His crime was extremely different than Biden, who had a small number of older documents that were found among a bunch of files, and who willingly immediately returned the documents, and was open to searches of his home and office. It is clear Biden's crime was sloppy document management. Trump's crime is far more sinister.
Huh? Is there any evidence of this or is it conjecture? I can think of a much more logical answer, which is that Trump is stupid and entitled and walked out the door last time with what in his mind were "mementos" of his time in office that he wanted as keepsakes. That doesn't make it any less illegal, but there is a pretty big jump to "he was selling national secrets to Russia." Is there some other evidence of that I missed?

To play like a pussy, one must have the pussy within him. There isn't much of a grey area between playing like one and being one.
Every single person on this board has taken actions in their life that other people would say "that was really pussy." Does that make everyone here a pussy then? No, because the sum of a man or woman is more than a few actions or a few football games. To label someone a pussy because they aren't playing the way you like is simplistic and lacking class.
Unless that is you're asserting that you know enough to actually say QE is actually a pussy?

I made a Longcat more serious post about my opinion on what's going on and what was driving my personal frustration with Quinn and the only feedback on that post was "well NFL quarterbacks are terrible too" yeah, and they get shit on, very very hard by everyone when they play below their expected or proven abilities.
We have some unknown radio quote from hornsports which I cannot fucking find anywhere where Quinn apparently in his own words said he was "thinking about getting hit or how to take hits" which is exactly the behavior I was calling out. It fits my narrative, but it's improperly sourced and I choose to believe Quinn has better representation than to ever let him say something so fucking stupid on air.
Some of you act like the words I used being short and intentionally inflammatory were somehow off limits or completely unfounded in any reality, then all arguing about the exact same thing that proves what I was saying anyway.
Quinn is absolutely fantastic when he's on. He's him, he's nails. What we have been seeing since the injury is specifically not that, it's not unreasonable to want a player who's proven he can play at a certain level to consistently play at that level. Not asking for perfect Quinn or no mistakes ever Quinn.
Its just easier to say "Quinn is playing like a pussy" than to type all that out so stop fucking acting like it's not hyperbole and funny to call the QB1 a pussy because he's playing a bit mentally skittish, which is an opinion shared by many many many people in circles that would know.
There is a sizable difference that you majorly gloss over here between "QE is playing like a pussy" and "QE is a pussy." I'd halfway agree w/ the first. The 2nd is stupid and out-of-bounds and I'd hope someone who is so involved in paying players NIL would know that.

Zippering works well and should be promoted more - but it is not the same as the asshole that knows he needs to get over but speeds ahead and tries to cut in front of the people already waiting in the slow lane. The anger is for the line cutting assholes. Fuck those guys.
People zipper in too early, then get mad that other people are "cutting the line" by not allowing people to merge at the proper zipper point.

I just want to know who sucks more, Quinn Ewers or Chris Beard? I'm going with Beard, he REALLY sucked.

Sark says Quinn has no oblique issues as of the Vandy game. Is he telling the truth? No idea.
Friendly reminder to all that Sark said Xavier Worthy was fine all year and then we find out later he played the year with a broken hand. Coaches lie.

The only chance we're out is if aggy stumbles against SCAR and comes into that game outside the top 15, then they beat us. Even then, we're very likely still in at 10-2. It's not as if everybody behind us is gonna win all four games.
If UT and aggy both win out and that's a top 10 matchup, there's zero chance we fall out of the top 12 by losing it when we were in the top 5 coming in.
*Top 11 but yeah. I still have scars from Barry fucking Switzer announcing OU squeaked by Texas by 0.00000001 point in the BCS back in the day so I'm gonna expect disappointment until shown otherwise.

Rod said Vandy blitzed more against us than they have all season. They mimmicked UGA to the best of their ability with overloading a gaps and blitzing a gaps while bringing pressure from corners. Seems like that will be a lot of what we see moving forward.
Good news is by the time we hit aggy we will be really accustomed to seeing blitzes. We're about to get a ton of live game reps.

Texas will, in all likelihood, be in the playoff with two losses no matter what happens.
If we take a loss to aggy in the last week of the season there is a really good chance we'll be out.

Just now, Derka said:
it’s the context of his rep that is interesting, not the rep itself. again, it’s essentially thatguy vs the world in this thread, and yet his posts consistently get more rep than any others. i find that interesting.
First, fake internet points are dumb.
Second, RE: your context point, it illustrates that there are a lot more people out there who agree with @Thatguy, or at least that while QE has been sub-par we shouldn't pull the trigger on Arch yet. And, there is a super-vocal minority of some size in the camp of "QE is a total pussy and the reason we suck," "Put in Arch because he's gives us a better chance to win now," or "This year is sunk anyway let's write it off and get started on next year with Arch now."
The first camp will rep posts they agree with but don't want to expend the mental energy engaging in a pointless slap fight with the other camp.

That sounds good in theory. However, we’ve played 4 SEC defenses. One terrible, one mediocre and one that was a Big 12 team. Then one known to be more talented than everyone else. Nevermind that we played Bama each of the past two years and accuses in pass pro.
The sacks from Georgia largely came from two guys. One a LBer who attacked some from off the ball. Both top 15-ish draft prospects.
I can’t say exactly where they lined up on the specific plays but all the Vandy sacks came from guys listed as LBs or SS.
The 3-3-5 should be more multiple in bringing pressure and in coverage too.
Should be but usually they were coming from a LB at some type of depth so it was fairly consistent and QE seemed to have a mental clock for it. I don't recall a bunch of DB or safety blitzes that got home on us last year.

Last year, I think the numbers were elite for him when blitzed. Like best in the country. That’s what makes this so weird.My theory on this is that in the Big12 we saw more 3-3-5 so it was less pressure coming from the D-line, and pressure that came via blitz from the LB was easier to see/diagnose and get one extra beat to react to. In the SEC the D-lines are bigger and faster, the coverages are more multiple with better athletes, and the pressure is showing up faster making it harder to read/react.
I was watching a QE's high school highlights again:
Watch the first 10 or so throws on the tape here and you're going to see a lot of the same issues we see now. I see a TON of back-foot throws, and also not climbing the pocket. There is also some dimes in there too. But if you look at the >20 yard throws, many of them are either 1) the WR is wide-ass open, or 2) it's a lob that the WR wins. In college you don't get hardly any of #1, especially on deep shots. And for #2 the CBs are such higher level how and the safeties so much faster that those lobs turn into picks or breakups - which is exactly why he isn't throwing them. It's almost like he's using a 9-iron angle on those throws when he needs a 3-iron. When he attempts to lower the angle, he overthrows it. For all the touch he has on the short and intermediate he doesn't have it on the long ball.
Sark and QE have to figure it out because it's pretty obvious what defense we're going to see the rest of the year:
- Pre-snap show 2 safeties high
- Post-snap rotate one safety to close the middle of the field to intermediate crossers
- Blitz a LB to create pressure, or simulate blitz often
- Show man and switch to zone or vice versa, QE has trouble (like many QBs) when a pre- and post-snap read don't match up
- Deploy a shallow zone and expect the check down to the flats
- Keep it all in front of you
This plan basically forces QE and Sark to do what they don't want: attack the sideline downfield with long throws, or go over the top. Normally the counter would be run the damn ball and force them to shift, but we apparently don't have the horses for that.

The eyebrow raising thing today is that Quinn wasn't much better in terms of pocket presence and the OL was honestly worse than the Georgia game. Some of that is likely obvious game script - when you're starting drives 1st and 20 it tends to help the pass rush - but they drew those flags too.
Good time for a bye week. Unlike Ewers I think the OL can get it together.
QE reduced the reverse bailouts from the pocket and I did see him climb into the pocket and deliver on-time throws down the middle several times. He still was way too cautious and his deep ball is bad.
The O-line took many pre-snap penalties and holds, but the worst were the busts. There were at least 3-4 instances where an unblocked defender came in while we were double teaming someone else. Conner missed one, I think DJ missed another. They weren't all blitzes either. That's not a QB issue, or a lack of running game issue, it's a protection/communication issue in the O-line.
You could put Tom Brady back there with a defender in his lap at the go and he's going to have trouble (on THOSE snaps, not a get-outta-jail free card for QE's performance).

I'm convinced that imma and blacklab have implemented a function in this site called DerkaBot AI. Whenever it senses engagement falling off, it posts to get people riled up.

Is Johntay hurt or in the doghouse?
Burton made an allusion on a podcast a week or two ago that his blocking wasn't up to par with those ahead of him and he was skilled but getting outworked.
-
In watching the Film Guy on YT, opened my mind on a few things:
- Yes QE could have played better specifically in faster processing and willingness to go to the 2nd and 3rd reads before checking down and stepping up, and,
- Yes the O-line saw a level of athlete they hadn't encountered before
BUT, the receivers were blanketed. And not just because of superior athletes - it was because they were extremely well coached and knew our tendencies and routes really well. It's not like there were regularly multiple open receivers running free. Usually the first and second option were covered, and the 3rd had either a small window requiring a quick trigger or QE would have had to feather the ball between a LB and a safety - doable but a NFL-level type throw.
If we see UGA or that skill level again, Sark needs to get deeper into the bag and/or introduce some new concepts they haven't seen on film.

A huge Gator alumni friend posted "Welcome to the SEC" to his social media. WTF - GA is and always has been Florida's biggest rival. Seems to me the equivalent of UF moving to the Big 12, and 7 games into the season and clearly a good team, getting embarrassed at home by OU. There is zero chance any us us would proclaim "Welcome to the Big 12." But, SEC, SEC, SEC.... Fuck that shit. And, fuck OU!
That's not totally true, whenever OU is playing I do have a rooting interest. I root for the meteor to hit the stadium.

Here is the ultimate test: if the places were swapped and we were at Georgia and the bad call was against THEM and their fans reacted the way ours did. We would have multiple threads on here calling them pussies "take the L pussies," and "bad calls are part of the game" "that's not reviewable/reversible" etc. Burton made that point on his podcast, Texas fans would be apoplectic if the shoe was on the other foot - for good reason.

Do they still throw a penalty flag on the visitors to start the game that home team declines for these?
