I have steelbooks for movies I have meeting for years and years.ate one I got was a American Psycho, so it's little this that help that I've got more time to stake my mind off of tgjnfd.

Serious question - have you found a message board to discuss your hobby? With my two I found that conversing with others has really helped, and not only are they great people, they help with finding what I need.

Thanks so much! There were a couple about guitar wiring and some FB groups that were really helpful, actually

Is sitting in the garage drinking beer considered a hobby ?

Asking for a friend…..

or maybe it’s just because we were great when we all remember them calling our games.

if it were the strong/herman years, I bet we don’t view them as fondly

Can't be true. Because we're the fucking number 1 team in the country now and I still don't like Gus Johnson enthusiastically bumbling and stumbling his way through our games. 

Those 2 were just solid.

Yeah i always liked Joel Meyers. He used to do Spurs games as well. He's just a quality broadcaster. Listening to some of the clowns they let on the air now makes you realize that it does take actual talent. It's not just "turn the mic on and talk".

As long as you looking at your football cards or a guitar you're never going to finish.

We get Fozzy and Galindo.  Like old times on LHN.

How about 10,000 posts on a message board for a school one didn’t even go to? Also asking for a friend …

I probably posted 10,000 troll posts as Phil McCrevice on soonerfans back in the day.

Not football related, but I build electric guitars and update the electronics, hardware, and setup on cheap ones to make them awesome. I've made a couple Fireflies and Epiphones sound and play almost as well as my Gibsons and Fenders

I used to do this with cheap-ass computers from Microcenter back in the 90's. I'd buy one of their refurbed cheap pre-built computers for like $150, gut everything but the case, mobo, psu, and ram, throw in a better CPU, a sound blaster, and a voodoo 2/3, then sell them to people for a couple of grand profit. I made a ton of money doing this in highschool.

he’s locking into receivers, he’s got happy feet; some people here (and around college football) need to let this kid play a little while before crowning him. he’s got everything needed to be that good except for experience. 

ftr i think that the hype about what could become is 100% deserved. just give him some time.

Very cool. Randomly enough, my high school age son is doing very similar stuff - building/upgrading CPUs and selling them.

IIRC this is basically how Dell got started too. If I were just a bit older when this was going on, I would have tried to make a legit business out of it.

He throws such a pretty, catchable, accurate ball to all levels. Just needs a best or two longer to see it right now. 

It's so easy to forget he's younger right now than Colt McCoy was when Colt got his first start. Arch is still a baby freshman, he just got here super early. Colt was 5 days away from turning 20 when Colt started, Arch won't turn 20 until next april.

No he doesn’t.  Mechanics are horrible.  Wouldn’t crack third on our QB depth chart. Should be ULM’s QB.  Will flame out in the NFL, if he even makes it.

<buzz in>  “What are things aggy would say?”

Yes, correct.  You still control the board.  Pick a topic.

Hes got 130 yards and 2 TDs in 1 quarter.

That's actually his plan. He's got a FAR better mind for that kind of thing that I ever will.

I wish him well, I feel like getting started as early as possible is the key, I wish I had that kind of ambition back then.

people are calling him the second best qb in america, the future heisman winner, and future no.1 pick, all before he’s ever started a game at Texas. that’s too much. my comments aren’t so much about arch as they are the ron pawlus-like expectations being heaved upon him.

I like that Sark is just letting him sling it. Low risk game for him to work through the playbook. And Sark loves having QBs that can execute all the passes.

Arch didn't play well but still had 258 yards and 2 TDs in 3 quarters.

Hope he learned some things.

It's a long season. 12 games plus a possible SEC Title game and 12 team playoff. It is possible Ewers might get hurt again and we will need Arch against somebody better than ULM and UTSA.

So very good game for Arch but it also showed that he’s still very inexperienced and has a lot to work on. Can’t wait to have Ewers back.

Tonight couldn’t have gone any better. This will quiet some of the noise about Arch starting. Ewers comes back healthy for the rest of the year and Arch takes over next year just as planned. 

Agree with this. Arch has gotten some great reps and even starting experience, and he’s showed a ton of potential. But he also showed tonight that he’s got a ways to go and Quinn is clearly the best QB on the team right now.

This is why I love this team and has me the most optimistic about this season.

The talent 2 or 3 (or 4) deep on both sides of the ball is incredible…. And absolutely vital in a college football world of a 16 game season.

And I know the talent stacking didn’t happen overnight but there is a part of it that feels that way. Sark is putting on a masterclass so far. 

Later on top of that, the schedule is about as ideal as you can get: typical cream puffs in September sandwiched around a hostile non-conference road game against the defending champ in a bit of rebuild mode complete with first SEC game against one of the bottom feeders to get any/all kinks ironed out before things really get started. I guess having that first game against a team like Miss St on the road would be better, but that’s quibbling.

hell even being the “visitor” in Dallas is great because it’s one less SEC road game we have to play and makes @ aggy our toughest road game the rest of the year. And even the timing of that game is helpful as a warmup for the SEC championship because I can’t imagine that game in UGA’s backyard will be any more intimidating than what we’ll deal with in College Station the week before.

I'd say he's even with or a bit ahead of where Quinn was in year one. But yeah, this is Quinn's team this year, Arch will be more than ready to take over next.

Ducks? Dude was launching rockets out there for better or worse.

Yep, when a ball is being thrown 40+ yards it’s going to be in the air for a while no matter what. If anything, Arch needs to take some pace off his throws. The second INT was an on-target throw to Blue, but way too hot for the RB to come down with it. Arm strength is not a concern with Arch.

He made 7 completions of 15 yards or longer. Another long completion (to Moore?) was called back for penalty. 

A few mid to deep balls were just within grasp. Remember all the hand-wringing about Quinns bombs being off the mark even with NFL speedster Worthy as the target?

Dude is going to be a treat for Sark when he gets the full time job.
