    If Ohio State is 1, Texas can't reasonably be worse than 3.

    I get your point. You're saying his performance was worse than off, i.e. really bad to terrible. 17 of 30 with one TD and one INT isn't really bad or terrible. He made six or seven bad throws. I watched LeNorris Sellers play earlier today and he made more than a dozen bad throws. His team won because they were playing Virginia Tech rather than Ohio State. He won't be blasted in the media or by his fanbase.

    Until or unless it's repeated a few times, it's an off performance. We've seen Arch's fundamental footwork and throwing mechanics, and we saw it at times yesterday. That doesn't simply disappear because of half a dozen throws in one game. Given that Arch has been fundamentally sound for years, it seems more likely that this game was the outlier, not the years leading up to it.

    What's strangely amusing is that we talked about this all off-season. We knew as soon as Arch had an off performance the national media and haters would go nuts. What's strange is that some Texas media and fans are falling into it. I'm sure media guys are doing it for clicks. Arch hasn't forgotten the fundamentals of footwork and mechanics of throwing. We've already seen that consistently. Competition doesn't change fundamentals. That's why you work fundamentals. He pressed too hard in his first big road start. This is the easiest thing in the world to diagnose.

    It's not sanctimonious or self-aggrandizing to say that claiming we suck or Sark needs to stop calling plays is an overreaction. That was a close game against a really good team on the road. If you were a Bama fan, you'd have reason to be really concerned. They were terrible in all facets of the game against a mediocre team.

    Ohio State played with a deep safety or field crossing corner (Wingo deep shot) to prevent big passing plays. That helped our run game some. Arch just missed his intermediate and short passes. He seemed to rush throws once he made his decision. That hasn't happened before in his time on the field. Pretty confident he'll clean up his mechanical errors. He made some bigtime throws under pressure during the comeback attempt.

    Re-watched the game late last night and both lines of scrimmage were really good. As for the defense, you had the two penalties that kept the first scoring drive alive and the big play to Tate. Those can be corrected, but they're also things that happen game to game. If you really think Arch will keep missing open throws, I don't know what to tell you. I'll take that defense and run game with Arch's talent every time.

    I don't get the quasi meltdown. Arch's problems weren't that bad. Look at Bama's Simpson.

    I'd say it's true Sark was worried abut pre-snap penalties, which kept him from using motion as much as he has in the past. The more I think about it, I don't really think the offensive game plan was bad or too simplistic. Arch missed throws. Ohio State covered well. Perhaps if Sark had used more tempo and quick passing game, it would have helped the offense move more in the first half. Sark probably wanted to avoid putting his defense back out on the field really quickly early in the game. That's not bad coaching. The two empty red zone possessions in the second half was the reason Texas lost.

    This is the weirdest dynamic I've ever seen. "Let's confuse the entire program over who is actually in charge and hope a bunch of 18-22 year-olds know how to respond."

    Switzer should be in prison.

    I'm willing to bet that Nagy secretly has a headset on during the games. Nagy may even appear on the sidelines.
  13. harveycmd
    This is nuts. Looks like Arbuckle will be delivering Chinese food for Uber Eats again like he was a few years ago.
  14. harveycmd
    Soonerscoop reported that Nagy and his "staff" attend every practice and then gives BV a grade for the players AND coaches. This must be the most dysfunctional setup in history. Why does BV have the title of HC if he can't even be trusted at practice?

    While it's true there will be no Super Bowls while Jerry or Stephen run the team, this is a sound financial move, emotional reactions not withstanding. Parsons is a great pass rusher, but he's a liability in run defense. If Parson was just average against the run it would be a different story. It's not a good move to give such a player QB money. Even with Parsons this team isn't going anywhere. Better off picking up quality players at multiple positions of need with the money that would have gone to Parsons. Not saying Jerry will accomplish that, but he does about every six or seven years or so. Of course, when they do have a good roster, the locker room is still in shambles because Jerry undermines the coach.

    What worries me is not losing Parsons, but rather the possibility that Jerry will try to make a deal for the first pick when Arch comes out. Not sure how the Mannings will deal with that possibility.
  17. harveycmd
    Given that Parsons is far from a complete player, this is the best move financially.

    It's not the long history with the SEC; rather it's lack of Big 10 success this century. As a Buckeyes fan, I'm sure you can sympathize with the view that Michigan's 2023 title is illegitimate. Add that to the fact Ohio State gets most of its quality players from Florida, Texas, Georgia and California, and the point is clear. Urban made the recruiting switch to the South because, after coaching Florida to two titles, he knew the Midwest talent couldn't cut it. Outside of Ohio State's 2002 title, there isn't much there for Big 10 country to proudly claim.

    My favorite line from criminal sooner fans over the last couple of 6-7 seasons has been the "This is Oklahoma!" refrain when expressing surprise about their struggles. It's a good lead into pointing out to them that since everyone can pay players now, their cheating advantage days are over. Differently stated, it's not a coincidence they dropped precipitously as soon as everyone could legally pay players. Correlation is not cause, but causality is dynamic temporally speaking.

    Texas doesn't make as much as they would with home and home. CDC says there's no way they're moving the game from the Cotton Bowl. I would personally like to cut the criminals off completely. There's no way they can be a viable program without Texas.

    @Gerry Hamilton Saw a report today that Duke and Miami have surged ahead of Texas for Austin Goosby. Any word on that?
  22. harveycmd
    Hey Gerry. Leavitt's a chump.
  23. harveycmd
    Keep getting back to Arch is much better than Sayin. We'll see.
  24. harveycmd
    Jammer or Quandre, but probably Jammer in the end. Is this the only brother number great tandem?
  25. harveycmd
    Gerry has a video with a breakdown of the stats.
