It’s left to tight. G-c-g as the weak links with Campbell the worst against what he should be. Stroh seems to have a super low floor because of balance/feet while also playing too early. We’ve heard baker is a technician but currently that means bring in the right place to get overpowered. If Kibble and Brooks are clearly superior athletically and drive wise to Stroh, Campbell, or Baker, play them.

Super lazy response but makes sense you’d choose it.

I simply go by what happens on the field. Our oline lacks playing strength. Stroh is a great example. Keep hearing he is one of the strongest in the weight room but it doesn’t translate to the field. Little punch and has terrible balance. Baker is pretty often in the right place but over powered fairly consistently. Hutson doesn’t seem to move folks after all these years of folks wanting him to replace ole faithful and so on. Some areas seem okay so maybe we need an Oline specialist 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yours? What are you dismissing? Who can he be credited with developing? C Jones? Okay. Who else? The super star class entered and left with the same level they entered. Banks was gonna Banks. Hutson, Campbell , Neto all multiple year players and are well below average. Never mind. If you can’t see it after 5 years of film, my words are useless.

Uh, it’s Arch’s 3rd year in this system…

Maybe becton is also overrated

Are those all IOL?

I made the mistake of taking you off ignore. You wouldn’t recognize integrity because every position you have is with you in mind. You applied your logic into my post by trying to point out Texas has billionaires as if that would matter to my larger point. Now, your goalpost moving is that an entity, not an individual, needs x amount of dollars to be a top program. A false equivocation in any context but the real issue is that I think you believe what you say. I used to think it was a bit as some people thrive just being a pill to others. Btw, Texas absolutely has a history of individual donors with far too much influence over the program. During those years, despite being flush with cash, Texas stunk. Short story long, thank you for reminding me to permanently put you back on ignore so that I don’t participate in gumming up a thread. 🤘🏽

Of course it does. Beyond naive to think otherwise. Maybe I should have said most humans meaning anyone not a billionaire. I wouldn’t want Texas’ billionaires in charge either. It’s not the school, that’d be hypocritical. Not your billionaire but mine. Nah. Not how I live.

How bout we have zero billionaires on the board? Oil men care about one thing and money is the other. If he’s against it, I’m inclined to think that’s it’s good for the rest of us. Who do you think you pays for the universities and tv money today? That 7 billion will be added to your streaming or cable bill. We pay for it all. What happened to us a society? Why are people no longer viewed for what that are. Oil and casino money is historically super conscientious of others, amirite. You don’t overpay for players like cattle and then cry you’re just looking out for others. Like most billionaires, he helped create a problem so that he can fix it. The very worst thing that could happen to college football did by letting billionaires in. They’ve always been around but there were some rules and certainly not the sums and power being thrown around today. https://collegefootballnetwork.com/who-is-billionaire-cody-campbell/ He is a billionaire multi times over. He could literally set up an endowment that would cover all schools and their Olympics sports without any real impact to his overall wealth or lifestyle so wholly miss me with this is for kids or public. Was giving government more power to help the people? On the board that says if you don’t have my views, you don’t get money. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltnietzel/2025/06/23/texas-governor-signs-bill-that-throttles-public-university-senates/ https://www.texastribune.org/2025/06/19/texas-legislature-higher-ed-lege-recap/ https://www.kvue.com/article/news/politics/texas-legislature/texas-house-gives-initial-approval-bill-reshape-higher-education-courses/269-0babb10e-6588-434b-93a3-e2a16d77d98c Your political side shouldn’t matter. These are power grabs and they’re happening everywhere. It’s really discouraging that you gave him this medium. Of course he wants to discuss it. I guess owning the education side isn’t enough. Now he wants the sports. That was also 3 seconds on Google without looking into it more.

All good. I thought you’d get a chuck. Data helps the eye test for sure.

Guess not

Hi Blake. Am I reading this right? Arch could have been 23/30 without drops/wr error? 63% vs 76% seems encouraging. Do they define drops?

Lol. You’re looking for some kind of positive affirmation or credit after a bad loss? No one said they were world beaters. The entire discussion is who do we need to make sure we stay dialed in on or risk a loss. Florida has the talent in the right spots to be one of those teams. If anything, losing this game will ratchet up their focus and desperation. They don’t have to put it together for 10 great games to beat us once. So no, nothing’s changed. If the bottom falls out and players start quitting, that’s a game changer. They seem to love their coach so we’ll see but it hasn’t happened yet. Transitive logic just isn’t applicable in football. We ran less effectively than CMU did against SJSU. So…

Would have preferred dialogue and mutual respect. Be well.

You respond originally with a dissertation(but you’re not defensive lol) that includes questions and as a courtesy I address them but you’re maturity says to reply so that you can insult the perceived length and close with a cliche? 🤣😂 You are a hoot.

Hoped you wouldn’t get defensive but alas. Not a strength and little push. If this were accurate we score at least twice in short yardage. They gave us rushing between the 20s because we don’t have the backs to make them pay. Most of the rushing was empty calories between the 20s. Taaffe can’t compete physically with Downs. They’re in different zip codes. Much of the freedom to run the different disguises/defenses is the versatility of Downs. Love Taaffe and we’re lucky to have him. Zero coaches in the history of ever would take him over Downs unless he is an enormous debit in the locker room of which I haven’t heard. If you measure anything by I saw it happen, insert low number, then you could say you’re right about everything. Arch had a crap game. Even Quinn, often to self sack, stepped into the pocket. It’s what you do once you’re there. 3 times as validation is super funny. Saying a coach tailors a plan for their player says nothing. The outlier is the one that doesn’t and in this game, Sark intentionally tailored it to the short and intermediate game and not the deep pass so you were absolutely wrong. Now you’re extolling your prognostication expertise by downplaying the risk at Florida. I think loud crowds impacting games are largely mythical if a team is elite. Strong O/D lines with good backs are a real threat especially with our primary backer still struggling with run fits. OU after isn’t ideal either. If we’re competing for a championship this season, we should win but that doesn’t eliminate that they’re one of the teams we need to take seriously unlike the next 3. Spare me the coach talk about every team gets our best. Have a great day. I’m not going to reply to anything else. I’m happy that you enjoy and support the team. I apologize if I originally rankled you. It just tickled me. 🤘🏽

Any team that’s strong in the trenches on both sides with very talented backs serves attention. You’re cracking me. Literally nothing you wrote was on point for the OSU game, lol. I promise I’m not mocking you. I just think it’s hilarious that you have not even looked at a brake much less pumped them. Bravo! I was bored so I wanted to see your run up to last week. I hope we destroy everyone left on the schedule! 🤘🏽

Nah. A basic brain will read nuance. I was thoughtful about the huge if but of course some can only comprehend in binary.

The bigger concern is arch and his throwing motion change. If his issue is that he loses his mechanics when nervous, he’s done. That’s a death knell for any qb. That’s the entire thing for me. It simply can’t be his kryptonite. If it truly is, you’d have to move on. It’s the equivalent of a kicker’s yips. The problem is he had decent time more often than not. It was almost he was trying to win the game with each throw. The real issue will be if arch has a permanent mental thing in games, we’re cooked because there’s zero chance sark benches him. What is super concerning for me is that maybe we now know why arch wasn’t put in last year for a 50% injured quinn. This is what has me thinking it’s not a one game thing. Yesterday wasn’t a qb struggling against this elite defense. OSU will lose games this year if the other team can score. The defense was okay. We were worse than they were good. Hell, aggies using lsu reed would have scored more yesterday. Something bigger feels off to me and I don’t normally leave bad games like this. Maybe it’s as simple as arch did this to arch vs the defense dictating it. Sark trying to mask it with they were elite at disguising coverage still is insufficient. With the exception of 2 drives late, his mechanics and throws were off all game regardless of coverage or pressure. Yeesh!

I didn’t like the game plan but to your own point, guys were open and arch stunk it up. Sark takes too long to abandon the theory of what works when execution charity isn’t it allowing to. He gets the qb will rebound until it’s too late.

Klatt was screaming at sark during the broadcast

Arch was unexpectedly and alarmingly bad. Concerned with his mechanics. Odd side arm pushing motion vs his quick release. I was calling for arch over quinn last year. Super concerned that sark new manning wasn’t better than an injured quinn. We were worse than they were good. Also our backs have zero burst. I don’t get why we wouldn’t try a different back. There were holes missed because we were dancing and/or weren’t fast enough. Love wisner but he is not a rb1. Baxter is a good story but he’s running in quicksand right now. Looked good in pass pro at least. Maybe manning was a one-off. Not giving up but about as a bad loss for considering his arch looked.

Lots of OSU won’t do well because… Set your expectations against their best game versus counting on underperformance. We’re either the better team that can handle their best shot or we’re not. Sayin throws darts. Quick release and accurate. That’s a great skill to lean on as a young qb. We’ll have to take away his first read or we could have 4 Reggie Whites and it won’t matter. TE leaking and quick slants/outs will also wear us out. If we do the 10 yard cushion crap, he’ll Colt us all game. Disguise, discipline, and force him to throw where we want. We’ll have to overwhelm him early and often to shake him mentally vs hoping he forgot to throw or that he’ll sit back and survey. They may no huddle to offset our coverage and rotation of fresh bodies. I loathe osu because they always get a cheap and lopsided whistle while having elite talent especially at home. Be ready for a dog fight and if Sayin or the current guys happen to not be ready, enjoy it.
