  1. what a throw. that got him.
  2. one time in hs my world geography teacher used the word “niggardly” and i was the only student who was familiar with the word and it was super awkward.
  3. there’s a wendy’s commercial that’s been playing ad nauseam during every sport that i watch, and the burgers in the ad straight up do not look like food. they look rubber, or plastic. they look like happy meal toys. it’s like uncanny valley for food. i hate it.
  4. saban had tua on the bench. tua was saban’s future. everyone on our bench is there in case arch physically cannot play. arch is sark’s future. giving up on arch would mean giving up on everything sark has been building for years and starting from scratch. also, y’all don’t think we get crushed in the portal if sark gives up on arch this quickly? you don’t think we see a mass exodus of talent plus some serious negative recruiting against us? this is why coaches are coaches and fans are fans. fans always want to hit the self destruct button whenever things don’t immediately materialize the way they wanted them to.
  5. matthew golden just took out a camera man and sheriff in one fell swoop. was pretty funny.
  6. the people who think that we should bench arch so that we can possibly win more games right now a)don’t seem to be picking up on how sark operates, b)making a wild assumption that any of our backups would be more effective, and c)are not realizing what it would mean to bench arch. sark isn’t out here like, “oh shit i need to win right now, my seat is hot, better bench (see: alienate and send to the portal) the one guy i’ve built this entire program around!”. benching arch would mean that sark is admitting complete failure when it comes to his ability to coach up “the greatest qb prospect ever”, and that’s not how sark (or any coach) works. arch is *the* focal point for this organization (as it were). the entire plan revolves around arch being the guy, and i’m sorry, but you don’t know shit shout coaches if you think they’re likely to just give up on “their guy” after seven games because it’s not going well. and to do so in this case would be blowing up the whole thing and starting from scratch. you think sark wants to give up on arch for the rest of this year and go into next year with more uncertainty than ever? stop thinking that this is about winning games today and start realizing that this is about sark seeing his plan to fruition, a plan which squarely revolves around arch manning.
  7. i literally posted a factual recounting of his plays. i suppose you think i was also “shitting on him” when i posted the PFF ratings.
  8. he just got stripped and possibly hurt. grabbing his hand/wrist after the play. still messing with it. stays in the game, and takes a sack on 4th down.
  9. lol and the neg reps are out. i love it. •wulaw makes a thread about everything is still awesome, and he’ll put some stacks on that: a billion pos rep •ztejas makes a thread about how everyone is pussies for being unhappy with our performances, and says we all need to believe again: a billion pos rep •imma posts a video of taaffe saying, “hey guys, we won the game, let’s all be happy, everything is awesome, winning is hard.” a billion pos rep. someone posts the truth about Quinn Ewers Superstar: negged. i’ll wear those negs as a badge of pride. remember: the people who drink the kool aid die in the end.
  10. quinn just made a terrible pass to an open jaylen waddle, hung him out to dry. waddle is now down injured. so, to recap: •he tried to throw a pick into quintuple coverage •completed a pass for negative two yards •fumbled a snap •got sacked •got his open wr injured by floating a dead duck his way Thank You Quinn. 🙏🏼
  11. quinn tried to throw a pick into triple coverage, but the db dropped the can o corn. then quinn fumbled the snap and then got sacked. looks someone woke up on the regular side of the bed today. here's the first snap of his nfl career: IMG_4563.mov
  12. PFF grades for SEC qbs from 2024: 1.Jaxson Dart 92.4 2.Jalen Milroe- 89.6 3.Taylen Green- 87.7 4.Garrett Nussmeier- 82.9 5.Diego Pavia- 82.9 6.Carson Beck- 82.4 7.Nico Iamaleava- 77.5 8.Payton Thorne- 75.1 9.Brady Cook- 75.1 10.DJ Lagway- 72.1 11.LaNorris Sellers- 70.8 12.Marcel Reed- 69.0 13.Quinn Ewers- 68.1 Thank You Quinn. if only you were on this current team, one that’s waaaaay shittier than any team you ever qb’d, then we would be undefeated and no.1 in the country. that’s the kind of unbiased, completely objective analysis you can find here at surly.
  13. we’ve downgraded all over the place on offense, and you think that adding the weak link from our past two offenses would make us better? of course you do. quinn ewers was totally ineffectual when surrounded by countless nfl linemen, tight ends, running backs, and wr’s, but sure, he’d just be tearing shit up for this hapless, chinese fire drill of a team. holy shit that’s funny.
  14. for what? for being the weak link on two absolutely loaded teams that would have each won the national title if they had marginally better qb play? this thing where arch being bad makes some of you weirdos think that it suddenly means that quinn wasn’t also bad is so goddamn weird. i mean, arch is bad, but so is basically everyone else on our offense. quinn was bad when the entire rest of the team was NC worthy. so what exactly are you thanking him for? wasting our best chances to win a title since 2009?
  15. so sick.
  16. last year when arch looked athletic, dynamic, and like someone who might live up to his otherworldly hype, we still never benched quinn even though he couldn’t move the chains against the likes of kentucky, vandy, a&m, and arizona state, and that was with a wildly superior supporting cast. he’s not going to bench arch now with absolutely nobody on the bench or in the pipeline who looks ready to take over. benching quinn would have taken balls. benching arch would take stupidity. it would basically be sark waving the white flag on his career at Texas. it’s not happening.
  17. this is all i was posting in the game thread last night. terrible game plan. tre wisner is our mvp vs OU and we just forget he exists for the first half, and then when we do run the ball, half the time it’s those patented 2nd and 10 runs between the tackles for one yard. our o line can’t protect arch and yet all we were doing was passing and staying in 3rd and long. it was asinine.
  18. you’re a wizard harry!!!
  19. no, i made my position very clear, and you’ve gone and moved the goalposts over to the next town and invented an argument that i never made. you: “there’s literally no downside to benching arch.” me: “of course there’s potential downside.” you: “oh so you think we just have to sacrifice this entire season just in case arch eventually gets good”? straw man.
  20. yeah you’re good. 👌🏼
  21. ok, timmy has chet in round nine as his only keeper.
  22. this is not true. there is a ton of harm in trying, from alienating the best qb on the roster who may not be a lost cause, to sark completely losing his reputation as a great offensive mind and a qb guru. sark is publicly telling us that he’s encouraging arch to take more of a leadership role as the qb even though arch isn’t proven yet, and you think there’s literally no downside to benching that guy? this whole operation, which is years in the works, is based around arch manning being the guy, not just for today, but for next year as well. we are not going to scrap that after 7 games of his first year as a starter, and if you don’t understand the myriad of ways in which our qb guru head coach giving up on the guy he’s built his entire program around after 7 games could turn out to be a bad thing then i don’t know what to tell you. ill just say this: imagine if we did bench arch after 7 whole games as the starter on some jeff fisher/VY shit. imagine that Arch gets replaced, his backup does no better than he did, the team is no better off for it, and next year dia bell is competing with some transfer from Bumfuck State while Arch goes and gets developed at ole miss, or oregon or somewhere else that’s not here. “literally nothing bad could happen from benching him.” sports fans are so short sighted.
  23. this is why i’m not in the camp of “arch is a bust, time to move on.” maybe i've just become old, but back in my day when you brought in a qb with Arch’s pedigree and talent you didn’t just completely give up on him after 9 whole starts. he’s bad, but he’s not the main issue, and he’s still in his first year as a starter, which everyone seems to forget. i’m wondering if some of his inexplicably poor passes to wide open receivers aren’t a product of him feeling pressure that isn’t there due to the fact that he pressure usually *is* there behind this porous o line. you give him a terrible game plan, you have him running for his life every play, you surround him with the worst we’ve had in years supporting cast in years, the third play of every single drive is 3rd and long, and yeah- that’s not exactly ideal conditions for a first year starter to grow. i’d love to see how how much he could grow with better play calling and more help from his teammates, and im not ready to move on and and declare the manning years to be over/a failure.
