19 hours ago19 hr I said it in the vandy game thread but Collin Simmons is a problem for refs. Michigan held him pretty much all game. Can’t call it every down which sucks for us. Penalty stats are useless because they’re subjective and bias. Each ref sees a penalty different whether it’s holding or PI. Only thing I pay attention to is holding on both sides. If they call it even or don’t call it either way that’s what I’m looking for. Yesterday holding calls were 6-0 against us going into 4th qr. that’s the bias and bullshit. Makes us undisciplined but really they just weren’t calling it even.

Simmons is why 2025 Ethan Burke happens, and Simmons still gets off 11 sacks and 16 tackles for loss.

18 hours ago18 hr Maybe I’m being over-dramatic, but yesterday’s game was the first time in a long time where I felt like our QB put on a cape and willed his team to victory. I guess the MSU game was similar, but Arch wasn’t able to finish it . . . and they’re not exactly a premier program like Michigan. Really looking forward to next year.

We (and Michigan) sort of learned what it feels like when somebody like Michigan or Texas roll into town to play a non-blue blood. The win carries prestige beyond other games.I thought I saw that on the field from both teams. Until it got a little chippy towards the end, I felt like I was seeing respect on the playing field. Sideline clowning ain't shit.

Putting quotes on a pronoun is particularly bold.Then I noticed the use of ellipses (blue). I bet he's revered as a smart guy in College Station, but is insufferable for anyone else to listen to for even a moment...They are a “top-tier” University.

Now it’s which program’s billionaires will pony up enough cash. When $500,000 payments became legal and $50,000 bags became irrelevant, it created an even playing field for those with resources while leaving some southern programs behind.

His call on that play was pure gold. “Say goodnight to it - Arch Manning with a DAGGER!”He's like the Don Lemon of sports announcing.

14 hours ago14 hr I'm sure it's been discussed ad nauseum here, but I've been busy. On the surprise snap that cost us 20+ yards and at least 3 points, we were pissed not about a missed timeout, but rather Michigan's simulating the snap with clapping, correct? Seemed obvious from just watching the coaches and players but broadcast clowns were looking for an attempted TO call.

Really looking forward to next year.I said it on the Arch thread but will say it again. Arch is a generational QB. His early season struggles are primarily the fault of poor OL and play calling. Arch came more into control of the game as the season and play calling altered and his confidence grew. I thought he did the same thing against aggie and Vandy, but I agree that once he started firing, this game never felt in question. I actually texted a friend that "Arch is driving the bus, we are winning 100%" midway through the 2nd with the Endries TD. It was a very VY sort of feeling, it was very nice.

I think it perfectly reasonable to acknowledge that for the first time in 20 fucking years I had absolute and complete confidence in a QB to win a game. Yes, sometime I felt it with Colt, hell even some with James Brown. However, that feeling of confidence has been missing for 2 decades. I'm not saying he is VY, but it's nice to actually feel that level of confidence. So to sooth your concerns let me help. Unlike VY who I knew would overcome the issues of MB and GDGD. I said so to a friend post game after beating Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Unfortunately, I do NOT believe Arch can overcome the ineptitude that is The Sarkisian Effect for an entire season.

His early season struggles are primarily the fault of poor OL and play calling. The first part might end up being correct but let’s not totally change the story on the second part. It definitely played a part but he had the yips and something going on in his head, he was throwing seven yard quick passes at receivers feet or two yards over their heads. He got past that and I fully expect a great season for him next year if we get the right offensive parts around him.

Kudos to him getting more comfortable and crushing the back half of the season. 25 TD total, 2 picks

There is no opportunity for meaningful engagement as you refuse to acknowledge some realities about our team and coach. The OL was beyond bad to start the season and Sark created a game plan that made those issues notably worse for a 1st year starting QB. Yes, Arch was the player making the mistakes but his HC, OC, OL coach, OL, WRs and RBs did everything possible to make it as bad as possible.

You can’t just ignore the fact that he was pretty terrible at the throwing part of being a quarterback at the start of the season. Game planning is tough when your quarterback is throwing errant passes left and right. Also dumb ass shit off-season crap to argue about at this point.
