  1. This is the whole fucking thing here. Everyone is using stats to support the argument for going for the TD or settling for a FG, but the real problem is that Sark's playcalling inside the 10 has been terrible. I swear he was better at playcalling in the RZ when we had worse athletes. It's like he loses all feel for the game and for the defense. He's so worried about doing something stupid (like the final RZ sequence at the end of last season) that he decides to basically do nothing at all. Run inside the tackles three times? With a QB sneak to cap it off? Everyone saw that coming. An idiot phoning in plays from his couch could have called those plays. You cannot play bully ball with a team like OSU. If you are going hard up the middle, do it when they aren't expecting it, or at least do it when they have to worry that you might do something else.
  2. I understand why we didn’t kick the field goals. I do not understand the play calling. If you can’t come up with something the defense isn’t expecting, take the points and trust the defense.
  3. There’s a lot of dumb posts in this thread, but you win the prize today.
  4. I think it ends up looking like our game from 2022.
  5. It’s attention getting but in a non-inflammatory or controversial way. Like, a cow is a pretty banal animal, but it’s weird to see one in LA. Especially next to David Lynch and a giant poster of Laura Dern. The cows raises more questions than it answers.
  6. Actresses genuinely love David Lynch because he genuinely loves his actresses
  7. Agree, unfortunately
  8. If I had a good friend, whose grandson was playing QB for A&M, I would probably text him to let him know that I was rooting for his grandson’s team. Because, you know, normal human things. That being said, it is somewhat disconcerting to learn that Archie is friends with Barry Switzer.
  9. Unfortunately no. He's got to travel by trailer and they don't like him to be in the trailer for more than 7 or 8 hours a day. That means the trip up to and back from Columbus would take like 6 days. Hard to justify taking Bevo's team on the road for that amount of time, especially since many of them are students who's school year is just starting.
  10. Aren't his parents both Aggies? As far as national podcasts, I listen to Cover 3 (mostly for Bud Elliott and Chip Patterson), The Audible (mostly for Bruce Feldman), Split Zone Duo, and the Solid Verbal. All of them are good. None of them are really great.
  11. It's less about skin color and more about aura. Livingstone just puts an extremely white vibe out into the universe. Or my above comment could have been made in jest. One or the other. I'll let you decide.
  12. Yesterday I was trying to figure out if I'd missed something about Stroh - whether there was genuine reasons for optimism or if Stroh had just moved up by dint of better players being injured. Based on everything I had seen, I assumed the latter. This update is welcome news though. It sounds like we hadn't heard much about Stroh because he had not gotten his shot. With Cojoe down, the coaches gave him some run and Stroh capitalized. If he's improved his feet then he may be a huge asset on the OL.
  13. In all seriousness, from the updates it sounds like Moore and Wingo are the focus at WR. To me that suggests that the staff would rather have an extra RB or TE on the field than a third WR (presumably White Chocolate). But that doesn't mean he won't see the field. Imagine that we're up by less than a score late in the 3rd quarter. Out trots Jaggy and lines up in the X. The DB looks at this goofy ass white kid and thinks "well this is a run play." The ball is snapped, Jaggy does his goofy arm-flailing shit, and the DB takes his eyes off Livingstone for second. Next thing he knows, Parker motherfucking Livingstone is 10 yards behind him, on track to catch an absolute dot from Manning in the end zone. You don't start a chess match by moving your queen in front. You start with the pawns. You save your best pieces for checkmate.
  14. I just want it noted for the record that I did not intend to start this line of discourse and that I think Quinn Ewers was a neat QB at Texas.
  15. I still can't wrap my head around the Simms Applewhite mindfuck, but the restaurant one makes sense. Nobody can ever say this thread was a waste of time. I've found the exception that, uh, disproves their rule or something. As long as I can reach one person, then I’ve made a difference. Also, congrats on having written confirmation that you’re smarter than CTJ.
  16. And I was really proud of that sign on the bar door analogy.
  17. Then I will. When a person provides a rule (e.g., "Sark always recruits great QBs") and another person points out an example of where the rule was untrue, the first person sometimes responds "well that's the exception that proves the rule." That response is 100% retarded. Showing that rule is not always true does not, in any way, shape, or form, prove a rule. It does the opposite. This modern usage of that phrase is maddening. The phrase "the exception that proves the rule" is meant to refer to a situation where stating an exception shows that all other situations are the rule. For example, if the sign on the door to a bar says "Closed on Sundays" you can infer that the "rule" is that the bar is open every other day of the week. Instead of saying the days that the bar is open, the sign proves the rule by saying the one day it isn't. So in this instance, the "rule" is that Chris Simms was an above average QB. The "exception" is that he was comparable to Major. Because both Simms and Major were far better than other 3-star QBs, this proves that Chris Simms (and Major) were both above average QBs. It's not quite as clean-cut as the sign on the bar door example, but it works.
