Going to hit like crack when Arch completes the deep ball to Wingo for a touchdown!

@CJ Vogel Driver yips are no joke 🤣 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRKH4nIWRUg

If it's full-blown performance anxiety, get my boy on the Ricky Williams program! Tiger and Phill chewed CBD gum in their last major victories.

That makes sense, wasn't trying to say he needs to be actively thinking of it. It's hard to putt it into words but Jason Day kind of talks about it especially when he was world number 1. It is more so like a deep breath after breaking the huddle and prior to getting under center or in shotgun solely thinking positive thoughts and about success.

Yips off the tee are very common. Look up Kevin Na at the Players or more recently Nick Dunlap, to some degree Spieth got the yips off the tee. In a way it starts with some aspect and then permeates to the others. Golf seems like it has a higher success ate of recovery than baseball. My guess is that Arch is overly focusing on mechanics, same goes with the golf swing. I think some hardcore visualization of execution pre-play similar to a reshot routine would work wonders.

Going off what Sark and Arch have said in their media availabilities, it seems they’ve basically confirmed the mental plague that is the yips. When Arch compared it to flushing a 60-degree wedge, it immediately made me think about my own golf swing going sideways from time to time. For reference, I’m a single-digit handicapper who has played competitively, but I’ve still caught the shanks—and in Arch’s case, the “yips”—that remind me of Tin Cup. Instead of obsessing over what’s going wrong or how to “fix” the motion, sometimes the best move is to take a step back. Play with your buddies, clear your head, or in Tin Cup’s case, “look like an idiot” but stripe it pure. That ties right into what Sark said after the game—basically, he just needs Arch to go out there and play instead of drowning in over-analysis. Golf teaches the same lesson: you can’t obsess over the outcome; you can only focus on the next shot. For Arch, that means the next play. And just like in golf, those moments of panic—the shanks, the yips—can disappear as fast as they showed up. It’s usually darkest before the dawn, and often the breakthrough comes right after the ugliest stretch. Would love to hear how other people think the best way to get the confidence going again is.

Hey everyone, This might be a dumb question, but with the recent injuries in the RB room and depth being squirrely for a short yardage back, is there any chance we see Texas Baseball's Nik Sanders tote the ball? 6'2" and 215 is pretty big, seems like there's a world where he runs between the tackles this year. Let me know y'alls thoughts. Hook Em!

Which stadium are y'all most excited to go to in the future for games? I can't wait for the opportunity to see the Swamp at night and for the excuse to play some Florida golf in the fall. Also saw that Georgia voted to allow alcohol sales in the stadium so that would be fun too!

Are we sure that is not Dallas Turner?

Eager to see the changes on the mound with Coach Pierce taking over pitching responsibilities, I also like coach Rod's coaching philosophy when it comes to hitting. Cool to see UT implementing the Waco area from Connolly in football and the Baylor teams in baseball. Was always weird the little UT influence there when I was growing up.

Loved the idea of Coach O coming but I don't mind this hire either. After watching the WKU interviews he kind of reminds me of Coach Choice with his vernacular. Seems like a well rounded and adaptable hire with ties to the south east and the ability to say, "I've coached in the league and you have what they are looking for," to recruits. Just my 2 cents, Hook Em!
