  1. We tried corn meal as an preemergent this year so far so good.
  2. USC rushed 6. WA rushed 3 and played zone behind. Never mind the clear athletic dissimilarity between Quinn and VY, the defensive alignment did not leave a 12 yard TD scramble as an option. And running it and sliding or being tackled would have wasted 5 more seconds at least. Simply put a designed or improvised QB run was not an option from the 12.
  3. This is really an important point. If red zone offense was better the game is much different. How many times this year did we have cause for concern. Most games. Well here too. Score a TD on the penultimate drive we need a FG to WIN. It might have changed WA calculus but I don’t think so they played expecting to give Texas 15 seconds not 45.
  4. Approaching an inch in out in Lakeway/Spicewood. Very nice.
  5. Whatever the right play coulda or shoulda been I believe a junior Quinn Ewers woulda made that play. bitches who want to beat Michigan and Georgia meet me at 5am…
  6. Will be better and is better are very different. Manning is not better than Ewers right now. It’s not even close. But by the time both have played and moved on I’m betting when comparisons are made, Manning will be much, much better.
  7. It wasn’t 0% when he let go of it and it wasn’t 0% as it got closer, it was 0% when a fucking D-back climbed his back and arm tackled his neck - which means some pressure on his shoulder and arm making the catch harder. I get they aren’t calling that but if they did you can’t argue it’s a bad call - it *is* DPI.
  8. Obligatory user name checks out…
  9. This isn’t 2009 where the end is in sight (retrospectively) this is the beginning, I fully expect Texas to be playing late in the playoffs next year and at least two more legit chances in the next 4 years. If Texas fails to return then yeah, not unlike 2009, 1983, etc.
  10. Not too bummed until I think about one throw to the end zone and a DB with his arm around AD’s neck and what coulda been a TD with just this or that. In the end I had already assumed the game was over. So the last drive was gravy and I never thought we were going to win. Today I’m more holiday hung over. Bad food and lots of drinking and no exercise for 2-3 weeks. So I’m in full detox mode working some mostly hitting refresh on surly in a manner that would make anyone with OCD blush with embarrassment. Back at life 100% tomorrow.
  11. 1 second, whatever, #5 was in a different spot a second ago.
  12. you do have the threat of running the ball - you could toss sweep to the short side and instruct the back to get to the side line and turn it up. I mean I wouldn't call that, but it's enough of a threat the D has to at least account for it. you have shorter passes so less issue with pressure, less time for a back to make a play on the ball while it's in the air, you have short aggressive slants, easier out routes. flares to the RB could score. there's way more options from the 5 than the 12.
  13. the point he's making a play on JW is 1-2 seconds before this frame.
  14. and 5 has an INT on a throw to JW. no one is open on that play, all 11 are on screen. sucks but the check down was right unless you throw it away. at least throwing to blue gives a shot at a missed tackle.
  15. this doesn't show JW open, it shows 5 moving toward blue easily a second maybe two after Ewers made the move to Blue. it also doesn't show what JW was running into. the ball is already half way there in this shot. and if you notice, blue has one on one with 5 and has some shake.
  16. I didn't take a look at 2nd down, Sanders at the 9 hurts. he gets to the 5-6 and even if only one play man that's an easier throw. I'd gladly trade 2 shots from the 12 for 1 from the 6. ugh. fucking game of inches.
  17. high quality post right here.
  18. I'm about ready to quit this place again at least for a few weeks until the coulda, woulda, shoulda talk dies down. reminds me of my mom last night, we had my inlaws over and she turned to me after they left (half time of the Rose Bowl) and said about my BIL, "he doesn't know much about Texas football, does he?" I said, "no mom, not everyone reads surly."
  19. shit he times it a tad different he might make it. get the DPI call and it's an untimed down from the 2. game of inches. tons coulda been done differently but a chance from the 12 with 1 second. I mean that's as close as it gets.
  20. It’s a flowchart. It’s situational. He’s not running on third and 10 because it’s the 4th play and god dammit that’s the call. He has some number of plays he wants to run to start the game based on the situation.
  21. GOD DAMMIT … INCHES FROM A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
  22. I was wrong. It was 5 yards to the first down. Ewers isn’t making that. Maybe from the 5 yard line. Not from the 9 or 12, no way.
