I seem to have missed my assignment. But I can't help but imagine Ewers getting bent in half by Jack and JT. I guess i need to find the other thread.

First, I don't think Walton is calling any specific recruit out. It was more of a beverage "be the best or get beat by us" post.

Second, yes...leave this all alone, we're going to be just fine at DB and Offord went for the $ bag. Fine with that and best of luck.

Either that or the spring game, but around then. That Texas crowd was so packed I had to carry my dog like a sack of flower for a quarter mile to get there

No.

It should be about how Ewers is going to carve up the overrated pass defense because we never get any pressure, give up way too many deep balls and back breaking PI's and never get off the field in the 4th quarter.

End it with an emphatic "fire Knowles" and maybe a "harumph" and you're good.

Yeah, “letting him have it” is a great way of enticing a high school to become associated with your fan base.

Keep talking smack to 18 year olds, that’ll really show that this is a great fan base

Good point, I forgot what thread I was in. Ewers is a bitch that shaved his mullet, but still wears it on his white trash heart. Am I doing better?

Sure, there’s always the roofs that really need fixed. There’s also the roofing companies working to get all the business they can whether folks really need it. There were guys running all over our neighborhood last summer.

Glad to have you here as a poster, but you seem to miss the point of the BMW (bitch, moan, whine) game thread. The people who post here aren't supposed to say anything positive about the Bucks, and your post is very positive. The BMW threads were started for those who never seemed to have anything good to say. We have a regular game thread for folks like you.
And great to have you here. This site is a great place to discuss football, among other things. And you've already connected to our 2 LSU guys (one of which appears to have been dropped on his head several times as a baby).
Anyway, stick around after the CFP is finished.

Grading on a curve, he's handed it as well as possible. Impossible to have this situation without some controversy.
Comparing their body of work this year, Arch has looked better, but it was against much worse competition when Quinn was injured. They both looked like ass in the first Georgia game. Despite how frustrating he can be at times, Quinn probably gave us the best chance to win over the course of the entire season, but that's just a hunch. His maturity and calm (bordering on lackadaisical) nature has mostly been a valuable intangible asset this year.

But he's inconsistent. Hard to tell how much of that is Sark overcomplicating things. I guess we'll know next year. He's probably outside the top 25 FBS QBs in terms of deep balls. Other than Bama in 2023 and Q4/overtime of the Peach Bowl against ASU, he has not been clutch (though he hasn't had to be very often). He often comes out of halftime looking like he forgot how to play football, but see the Sark comment above. He's not very mobile and he takes a lot of sacks, though some of that has been lingering injuries. Throws a catchable ball that sometimes lacks zip. He follows up his spurts of brilliance (usually 1-2 quarters per game) with a lot of sloppiness and WTF moments.

Overall, I'm grateful for Quinn. He's been a good quarterback for UT. Will be interested to see how he does with a different coach, whether that's in the NFL or another CFB team next year.

I don't think Arch would've beaten Georgia either time. But he's the guy next year.

I can't imagine paying that much to go see my team play in the Rose Bowl and leaving early, regardless of the score. Hell, I wouldn't leave any game early. Fucking quitters.

OSU got fortunate with Sampson for Tenn going out earlier and the lucky against with Stewart + the Oregon RB going out. That’s not predictable or sustainable.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Until then, this is still a Ryan Day coached team and that means shots going to go wrong, their sphincters will tighten, and they will choke on it. It’s who they are. It’s what they do.

People chalking this is up as a W are all on crack. We’ve seen Day’s team put together two great games in a row, but we’ve also seen them fall flat on their faces the moment they face a bit of adversity. Why are you all assuming he’s REALLY figured it out this time? We thought he had against Clemson and then they got smoked by Bama. I’m not buying a god damn thing about this team yet. We aren’t that far removed from these same coaches and players getting manhandled by TCUN. One month and two wins against overmatched opponents doesn’t erase that.

OSU got fortunate with Sampson for Tenn going out earlier and the lucky against with Stewart + the Oregon RB going out. That’s not predictable or sustainable.

Defense, despite the 8 sacks, was not generating any quick pressure — every sack was a coverage sack. A bigger QB isn’t going to have those passes batted down and a better QB is going to find an open guy sooner. And the D still struggled with getting off the field on 3rd and long. 21 yards on 3rd and 22?!? Come the fuck on! Oh, and nobody on this defense can catch the damn ball.

Tthe OL still couldn’t create any big run lanes for most of the game. Way too many of the runs were for less than 2 yards — the total numbers only look better because of Henderson’s long run.

Howard’s long passes still weren’t good. The pass to EE was a lucky bounce off the defender. The TD to Smith was woefully underthrown and only a TD because the Ducks blew the coverage so badly. The other deep shot to Smith was a terrible decision bailed out by an incredible receiver. Good luck with those against a better defense.

Punting was mediocre and returns were non-existent. Fielding made a couple but so what? He can still choke given the opportunity. We’ve seen it before.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Until then, this is still a Ryan Day coached team and that means shots going to go wrong, their sphincters will tighten, and they will choke on it. It’s who they are. It’s what they do.

I think that’s most of my gripes for now, but I’m sure I’ll find more as I think about it.
