Austalgia

Yeah, I worried about this back then. We’ve seen it before with the thud practices and we get soft. Different regime, I forget which one tried this and same thing happened. Ironically, this is the year we had the depths to get tough in practice and have a next man up mentality if we needed it. That was almost our strength cooking into that season.

Poor gameplay today on both sides of the ball. We had a light box in the first half and let them get ahead. We finally adjusted second half. And our offense once again doesn’t know how to attack defenses, we ran into their loaded box for most of 1st quarter. Stupid

Yeah, I don’t think Florida scores over 14. Dallas Wilson gives them 2 touchdowns. Arch throws for 3, runs for one, and we get a field goal. Unfortunately, Shipley misses a field goal, but he also makes one. Florida loses the crowd in the end and we overcome by a bit. We could score another one at the end, but Sark kneels it in their territory. I can’t get any more specific than that guys. Don’t want o give away the gameplan. Texas- 31 Florida- 14

Mateer’s thumb rehab and recovery exercise involves a tortilla press, more news to come as it breaks.

John Mateer’s doctor put out a statement that Texas Tech won the scrimmage.

Well done

As I said on another thread. Hire him now as an analyst to fix and innovate the run game. (QB and RB run game)

Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness is breathtaking on the way up to the Highlands. My wife got out and had to take some pictures with some highland coos and I got to have and interesting conversation with a Scottish farmer informing me of the history between the Catholics and Protestants in Scotland. Don’t forsake the highlands, Glen Coe, and just seeing the countryside, he rivers and mountains on the way up are breathtaking.

Can you imagine if they would have had a drone show for that first game? The people there would have thought we were being invaded by aliens .

Maybe he needs to go back to his roots and train with Apollo Creed. He’s lost “the eye of the tiger. “

I think you change the offense a little to include the QB run or more RPOs, but run the offense you got and wait for him to get better. As I said in another post, I think as a fan base (and surprisingly even some mods) we are forgetting how rough it was for Colt, Vince, and even Peyton in their first seasons as starters. Give Arch a chance, he has been patient with Texas and shown he works hard. This isn’t a slacker or someone who has low character, he deserves some time to grow. He has also shown he can play football, if he just makes the throws we’ve seen him make in the past and some easy throws to played in space, we get exponentially better with what we have on defense and special teams. Mix in the deep shots, wheel routes, and throws down the seam with the run. Arch almost plays better it seems when he can just “play ball” as he says it, and is not so scripted.

All I can keep thinking is if “Champ Monds” is an alternate universe “Chance Mock”.

Nice win

And A Shawn Robinson had an elephant deliver an Alabama hat and spurn Texas. You have to focus on what you get, not what you don’t. Dakorian Moore’s recruitment and subsequent commitment was a joke and spit in the face of Sark who rolled out the red carpet for him and his family. The attention to him probably cost us other recruits in the process. Let him be up there in the Oregon, hope he enjoys the winter.
