@Gerry Hamilton mentioned Purdue, a program that doesn't get enough consideration for how tough that job was before Indiana emerged as a contender in the Big Ten. I've probably had a warped sense of what Purdue is as a program because I was in high school when Drew Brees was running Joe Tiller's offense, a system that was ahead of its time (the same goes for how I view Arkansas and UCLA). Their last conference championship was in 2000, and before that, it was 1967.

BTW, this makes TWO Williamson County boys who will suit up for Texas! To that, I say:

Well, in his defense, "bust and huge disappointment" are things Aggies know very well.

I like him as a prospect. He's a good athlete who can cross-train at multiple positions.

Even with a prospect as good as Arch, you never know what you've got in a quarterback until they step across the chalked line and the bullets are live. Trevor Lawrence comes to mind, who succeeded right out of the gate, but he walked into an insanely talented Clemson team. Colt was great as a redshirt freshman when he stepped in for Vince, but some forget how much he struggled in 2007 when the offensive line went through a transition and Limas Sweed was injured most of the year. Arch's rise has coincided with Emmett Mosley and DeAndre Moore getting healthy.

That's the plan. Again, I'm sorry for cluttering the thread.

I apologize for my part in derailing the thread. Let's get back to discussing Arch, or anything else for that matter.

Good deal. I'm not sure what your endgame is here, but go on, I guess.

That's great. You do you. My colleagues do great work.

Nobody is forcing you to read it.

It feels like Texas is the team that needs to be all-in after coming up short. Hope it goes more like it did for Ohio State last season and not Penn State this season. It's up to Sark to push the right buttons.

Yet you felt the need to comment. Cool.

FWIW, Arch is 10-3 as a starter. That's the same record Colt McCoy had after 13 starts and he's one game behind Vince Young (11-2) in win-loss record through 13 starts. He's also 7-0 at home and has an 8-0 record in games played inside the state of Texas.
