  1. I remember watching this match back in '88 and being outraged at the result. It was a travesty. Jones completely dominated the fight and then was robbed of the gold by three corrupt/incompetent judges. It's good that he now has the medal. I was unaware that "winning" the bout brought such misfortune to the South Korean boxer. Now that he's done the right thing (and I wonder why he didn't do it years ago), maybe he can get out from under all that. https://sports.yahoo.com/boxing/article/roy-jones-jr-brought-to-tears-after-park-si-hun-gifts-gold-medal-decades-after-1988-olympic-controversy-201110152.html
  2. Very good in Wind River as well. RIP
  3. It's frustrating seeing fans reach conclusions about a particular part of the Texas team after only one game. You should also take into consideration that the QB who was throwing the ball to them in that one game had significant accuracy issues -- 37% of his passes were incomplete according to ESPN, the highest percentage of inaccurate passes in a game by a Texas QB in the last decade. Arch will get better. The WRs will get better. Try to avoid ledges above steep drops for the next week or so.
  4. Hopefully Arch learns from this, settles down, and takes a big step forward in future games. The whole preseason Heisman favorite thing was ridiculous -- nobody with such a limited body of work should have been considered the Heisman favorite and it placed even more pressure on him (after already having a ton of pressure with his name, being the star recruit, taking over from Ewers, etc.) He was pretty bad in the first half, but did improve in the second half (though he still had multiple shitty throws, including the pick and that last attempt to Wingo), which is mildly encouraging. At least in the second half he started making some big-time throws mixed in with the lousy ones. He'll get better. Sark deserves criticism as well. Terrible playcalling in goal line. Way too vanilla in the first half.
  5. Fucccckkkkk. One of the most disappointing aspects of this game was Manning's horrid accuracy on some pretty easy throws where he had receivers open. There must have been at least a half dozen of those types of throws where he either threw way too low or airmailed it. His accuracy was supposedly one of his better attributes from what we saw last season, but he failed in that category today.
  6. DB was holding early in that route. No call of course.
  7. That's just a horrible pass on 3rd down. Horrible. Receiver is crossing about 7 yards away and you whip it at his calves. My God.
  8. Where were these playcalls earlier?
  9. Such a fucking stupid decision, Wisner. You were 5 yards deep in the endzone.
  10. OSU has ZERO penalties called on them through three quarters. I mean, I think they've played a relatively clean game, but Smith got away with a pushoff on 3rd down a moment ago and I've seen at least 2-3 holds and I'm not even looking for them.
  11. That's what I'm hoping for. Defense is going to need to make a similar play.
  12. I don't know about the playcall, but Arch cannot attempt that pass when the coverage is there. Pretty bad decision, IMO.
  13. I was hoping Arch would shake off the first half jitters and be a different player in the second half. And he has -- he's been worse. Fuuccckkkkkkkkkk
  14. That drive was a ground drive for the most part. Arch still didn't look great passing it -- threw a WR screen way low.
  15. Yeah, I have no problem with the decision to go for it since the ball was inside the 1, but the playcall was galactically dumb.
  16. Had three big D-linemen lined up 0 and 1, and you still run that fucking call. Unfuckingbelievable.
  17. Just a stupid fucking playcall.
  18. I'll say it right now. If we don't score on this third down play, Sark needs to take the points unless the 4th down snap is from inside the 1 yard line. Hopefully the O makes it a moot point and scores on the next play. I like the free timeout.
  19. I'm no QB coach, but Arch isn't stepping into his throws even when he has time/room to do so. It's all arm with him right now.
  20. No two ways about it, Sayin has outplayed Arch in the first half. Probably the difference at this point, along with the penalties on the TD drive.
  21. It was Hill. Lefau had to scrape over the top and was outleveraged -- couldn't square up
