So many surface level takes in this thread

I love OTF but ya'll need to settle down. Quinn is not playing at an NFL level. Pretending that he is not one of the best QB in college football is silly. Are there guys better, yes! Is he better than most, yes! Does he make mistakes, heck yes! But, and as Rod would say this a (insert large butt) he gives this team the best chance to win. Sark does not and will not run a simple offense. As long as Sark is the coach we are not running a dumbed down offense. So you need the guy with the arm who understands the offense. Could Arch operate in a pinch, my believe is yes. Will he ball out next yeat, hell yeah! But what Quinn does in the intermediate game is so elite and is not deserving of this level of criticism. Kicker missed two kicks and the game was lost because of quinn is just such a captured narrative analysis. Reassess your analysis if you think 3 is why the game was lost. Certainly was the penalties, lack of run game, drops, or poor special teams. S/

The hero we needed

Icy whites whenever possible! It just hits different. If they have the option icy whites the whole playoff!

Did anyone else enjoy seeing the team run out in the middle of the Aggie War hymn? It I was hilarious seeing their silly traditions interrupted. Sark must have said “alright enough of this, lets go”

I mean do we get to pick the entrance music, better percentage of ticket sales, 2nd to get the ball in OT? Seems pointless. Also can we elect to wear icy whites?

What advantage does being the home team for a championship game bring?

Bush league behavior

I have pulled for the aggies only one time in my life. 2002 when the land thieves came to College Station as the #1 ranked team. Reggie McNeal pulled off the upset then the sooners returned to give the aggies their worst lost in program history the following year.

Maybe he is clued in to how strong this Texas class is going to be.

I’ve spent a little time in Ark and most people were friendly. However I was refused service at a liquor store for wearing a Texas hat. While inconvenient, that is no where near as bad as getting refused service from a mechanic shop in Oklahoma for having Texas plates.

A&M is great at veterinary. Texas has a better engineering school over all but A&M has a great petroleum engineering department. I know alot of aggies in O&G that are pretty sharp when it comes to non-sports. Im sure UT is great at that as well. I can only assume A&M's the civil engineering department is trash given the roads in college station.

Who are some players that have improved their draft stock? Who has hurt their draft stock?

That play reminds me of the gunner helm TD play in the oklahoma game. This time, Defender got a piece of it and Vandy beat Bolden to the ball. I dont think it was the worst throw but, to your point, anytime you get picked it is a bad decision. Needs to be cleaned up for sure. I also think the penalties and ineffective run game outside of the 1st drive caused the offense to sputter in the second half. At then end of the day he needs to get better but i dont think he was a negative on the field yesterday at any point in the game. You do make good points though.

To be fair, all picks are the fault of the qb. However, both int were due to batted balls, not poor throws or bad reads. His stat line of 73% completions, 288 yards and three TD is a winning stat line. That's an improvement and a recipe for success. Maybe the throws were easy, but Quinn doesnt call the plays. Quinn never seemed like he was the problem yesterday. Seemed to me he was a big part of the success outside of the two picks that gave short fields.

I thought Ewers played much better against Vandy. Stepped up in the pocker better, saw the field better, took some hits to deliver the football, and gave his guys a chance to make a play instead of always checking down. Was he flawless, no. Did the offense bog down in the 2nd, yes. But quinn did't rack up 108 yards in penalties. Quinn didn't miss blocks that lead to sacks. Imo the reason the offense slowed down in the 2nd half was penalties. Clean that up and texas is much more dangerous

Yeah big change from the big 12. Texas needs to adjust and do it quickly. I do think they were applying a different standard to Vandy in the 4th but im more concerned with Texas fixing its own issues.

This nonsense needs to stop. Quinn is very obviously a 1st round guy. Sure the NFL does love to reach on athletic big guys with arms but what quinn does is special and his arm is unreal. His injury history and suboptimal frame are a downside but his release, field vision and arm talent are to good to pass up. I dont know if he goes 1st overall but you cant tell me he slips to the 2nd in the modern nfl draft environment.

I believe in quinn!

Very superstitious 🎵🎵🎵

49-6 Texas

I think Marion is a good coach. I just think his ambition exceeds his expertise. He thinks of himself as a head coach and he isnt there yet.

I know two people with direct ties to the staff. One was a former walk on and scout for the aggies. They both stated that he is on the bench for outside issues. Suffice it to say he would be really excited to play in the snoop dogg Arizona Bowl.
