  1. Yeah, that's the impression I've gotten. I've literally never seen him post anything of interest or value. Or even anything that I found funny, regardless of whether he meant it to be or not. Usually I only put someone on ignore if they diarrhea all over a thread, so this will be the first person I've ignored someone for quality reasons. But I gotta say that he has earned. Just a complete fucking moron and kinda seems like a shitty person to boot.
  2. Because that’s what this thread needed. A conversation about race. The competition is tough, but this might be the worst post in this entire thread.
  3. Gents, it's May. We're not down to the wire on anything. The big name prospects are going to wait until Summer and some we even wait until December. Remember how the Justus Terry recruitment went last year? That was a huge deal and a really fun one to win. You'll enjoy recruiting more in a few months. It's just dead right now so it's not as interesting. But there will definitely be one or two guys in the top-10 nationally that we get excited about.
  4. Imma let's me do them. But just me. Because...reasons. Not you.
  5. Man, it is shockingly difficult to find a gif of 4th & 13 and makeagif is not cooperating. Best I can do is a tweet.
  6. "Ewers gave Texas fans license to start some 'Quince Young' jokes after this run that sprung loose thanks to his own athleticism and a great block from Ja’Tavion Sanders. This is one of five rushing touchdowns on the year for the sophomore."
  7. Between OSU, UW, and UT, we're the only team to make the CFP semis the past two years. So that tracks.
  8. I've posted a Quinn gif on each of the last three pages and everyone was perfectly cordial. You need to understand that some of the people in this thread aren't quite right in the head, and by interacting with them (either to agree or disagree) you make things worse. There's no good way to poke a hornets nest, so don't bother.
  9. Is this a bad thing? I don't drink apple cider vinegar, but I can see someone doing that for allergies or to clear their sinuses. I did not realize it was crazy and/or politically oriented behavior. Anywho, new page so here's a new Quinn gif. Just so we can reminisce about our guy now that he's off to the NFL: If y'all remember, this play was actually 4th & goal after we failed to punch it in from the 9 on three running plays. Rojo picked up like 7 yards but Ewers to Worthy was needed to get us the last 2. "Ewers said on Monday there was a passing concept to the right and that he had to check the coverage pre-snap to see where the ball was going. Worthy in 1-on-1 coverage is an easy call, and Ewers’ throw is on the money for the go-ahead score."
  10. But she is middle management, at best. Not running things.
  11. This past athletic year had to be the most demoralizing for them in 15 years. Until they fled to the SEC, they had to be reminded every year that we were better than them. Maybe they would get up in one sport for a little while, but never for very long and never in all three. But when they moved to the SEC they never had to have the lie laid bare. They could keep telling themselves, year in and year out, "We're better than the sips. They play in the BDF. Even though we're meh in the SEC, we'd be dominating them and that conference." Even when our move to the SEC was announced, they could tell themselves how great it would be to watch us get pantsed in their superior conference. The younger part of their fanbase that doesn't remember them in the Big 12 probably even believed it, too. So you get what we had here last year - which is the way Aggie wants it. Well, he gets it.
  12. New page? How about another fun Quinn gif: While running behind the Longhorn offensive line, Moore Jr. heard something from his quarterback. “The first one, I was motioning over and Quinn changed the play mid-motion,” Moore said. “He told me another play. So I’m like ‘okay, bet. It’s man. Let’s go get it.’ He just called a slot fade, put it up there, and allowed me to go make a play. He has the ability to do that, especially in this offense,” Moore said. “Quinn is the president. If he sees a look he may not like, he can change it to something else just like that.”
  13. Nm - technical issue I got sorted. Have a nice gif instead.
  14. He posts actual opinions on other boards (e.g. IPIHB). But yeah, 95% of what he posts on here and the Football board is bullshit / bait for the stupids. God help me, but I find some of his schtick pretty funny.
  15. His post was dumb, but this response is hilarious.
  16. I think his question was less about the beat-by-beat facts and more about the idea that Sark was milking the QB controversy to avoid public scrutiny on his personal life. Because that was the part that sounded a little kooky to me. No judgment though. Plenty of other people in this thread have had worse opinions.
  17. If your joke was that Bryant didn't get drafted, then I regret giving you too much credit. That's on me. I should have known better.
  18. I was ready to jump on you about this, but you're not that far off. Kelly Bryant threw only 10 fewer picks than Ewers, but that was also in fewer attempts and more seasons at QB. So your point is valid. Kelly Bryant - 14 picks / 762 attempts (5 seasons) Quinn Ewers - 24 picks / 737 attempts (3 seasons)
  19. Easy to hate Oklahoma. Hard to hate cheddar peppers and cherry limeade.
  20. 1) People do things for multiple reasons. Sometimes you do something that will accomplish an desired outcome and maybe achieves secondary and tertiary desired outcomes, despite being less likely. As I noted, the man has done it before in other situations. 2) I fully admit that I am speculating and wearing my Bevo-lenses. Don't miss the forest for the trees.
  21. I agree with Klatt, with a caveat. I think Sark knew how things were going to go. But I don't think he wastes learning opportunities, and I think pulling Ewers gave him a chance to let Ewers reset but to also show Arch (and the fanbase) that Arch wasn't ready for prime time. That Arch isn't some savior. He's literally saying "let me show you why you're not starting. You don't want this smoke week in and week out." I'm sure he has it in the back of his mind that Arch's legs or deep ball might turn the tide, but that was unlikely and would have been a pretty nice problem to have were it true. If you remember the spring game a couple of years ago, Sark did the same thing - he put a freshman Manning in against our ones on defense. The deck was stacked against him and Manning struggled, understandably. But it also showed everyone that Arch wasn't going to come in and take the job from Ewers. With Ewers, Murphy, and Manning on the roster, that room could have fallen apart in 2023, but it didn't. I will admit there were times that I wish Sark would pull Ewers - most notably the Kentucky game. But I'm capable of cooling off and letting it go. I might second guess my betters, but you have to be able to move on when they show you they're right. Much of this is speculation on my part and I will fully admit that i wear burnt orange glasses. But the guy knows how to manage that room. Scottish timepiece or whatever his name is definitely doesn't.
  22. Because he was a QB. He knows what getting pulled can do to a guy's confidence and mindset. He isn't going to pull his starter unless he knows either (1) the guy he's replacing the starter with is better, or (2) the guy getting pulled needs a hard reset. He pulled Card against Arkansas because Card lost the job. Thompson was clearly the better QB at that point and that's how it stayed. He pulled Ewers against UGA and when he went back in, Ewers suddenly played better. Ewers needed a hard reset. Those are the two times I can remember Sark pulling the QB at Texas, and it was the right call both times. I can understand the people criticizing Ewers, but the people who think they know better than Sark about which QB to play get a massive Lucille Bluth-style eyeroll from me. Sark is fallible just like anyone. Maybe he was too loyal to Ewers or worrying too much about keeping his locker room together. But when I see which posters in this thread are convinced that Sark is wrong, it bolsters my faith in the man. Because those posters are, for the most part, either pathologically miserable or just plain stupid. "When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign - that the dunces are all in confederacy against him."
