Moving forward I would prefer our schedule change so that we get two P4 games one at home and one on the road before we finish all our OOC opponents. We got screwed over because our 1st two P4 games were both on the road with a young inexperienced team.

G5, home/road P4 OOC, G5, road/home SEC game, final G5 opponent.

Going forward we’re only going to have 3 out of conference games. This is stupid.

Honestly - several reasons, first he was touted by everyone including insiders as being more than ready, and Ewers played really well as a freshman with no experience. When most thought arch was already better than Quinn the floor raised and the ceiling was blown off. Terrible in hindsight, of course a new guy needs work to be good. 

Maybe he would have played better with a serviceable OL and a decent run game. A new QB with a bad OL, run game, and playcalling, is a bad combo. Let the game slow down for Arch, fix the OL or give them time to gel, and get a good RB or two in the portal, and we might just compete for the big prize before Arch is done here at Texas. I don't think we are good enough this year.

The offense should be re-designed around the QB run - like a true zone read offense. Play to his strengths rather than try to turn him into a traditional dropback pocket passer. 

The crazy part is this offense IS built for him. Let me explain. Outside zone is what made the Shanahans famous. Faking that stretch play and the QB boot out the back is what we were opening up games with like 4 games in a row. And because its OZ its easy to wash down the defensive like on the zone read leaving the QB with only second and third level guys to worry about. I think once he has a full command of it people will love what we are currently doing. He can run or throw off of it really well.

When your OL plays as badly as ours did against Florida, no amount of play calling can save you.

sure I'm not saying we win but we don't lose 42-0

I got high with Mick Jones in 1992 in the parking lot of the Bronco Bowl.

I mean if it will help the team continue the hate, we may need to have a discussion on punk and post punk. For the record, I’m conflicted on Joy Division.

Why do people on the football board do this?

Had he led a great drive that gave us the possibility of scoring at the end, then you could crow. He didn't. Just coming close would prove your point, but that didn't happen either. He didn't even look like he'd turned a corner in the first half of OU. The sun rose burnt orange after that.

Sark was vindicated in sticking with Manning. One could argue forever about the past games, but that does nothing. We'll never know what would have happened with Caldwell no matter how many times certain elements believe their absolute declarations have any weight.

There is a strange, to me anyway, parallel sport for some sports fans where careful noting of their own and other's opinions over time leads to petty victories of declaring someone else wrong when you were right. There are grudge matches and rivalries and even cheating (specious recollections of other's words) in this sport. It often seems to supersede the sport on the field. 

It's what makes the football board often insufferable although the worst aspect is repeating the same opinion unsupported declaration (they're opinions in the form of predictions) in the same words over and over on as many threads as possible.

Like I said, most couldn’t see it. It’s ok if you’re one of those guys.
