Quinn = Worthy 2.0

Sark is doing for QE exactly what he did for Worthy 2 seasons ago.

Two seasons ago he played Worthy as if he did not have a broken hand. Only until after the season did Sark fess up to the extent of Worthy’s injury and the impact it had on us.

He is doing exactly the same thing with QE this year.

Sark believed that to thoroughly discuss Worthy’s injury was not in the best interest of the team’s success while it was in the best interest of the team’s success to play Worthy.

That’s why QE is playing and due to his injury Sark is game planning and play calling to give QE his best probability of success.

As soon as QE can push the mid and long range throws, Sark will call them. Neither has forgotten how to make that succeed.

Interesting school assignment for kid's class (sports related)

These are short essays I think for his Sports and Society class. Thougt it was pretty cool and would love to see others' thoughts. He has to do all three I think and asked for my input.

A rivavlry between two individuals.
A rivalry that is not a rivalry anymore
A rivalry between two nations in a specific sport

He picked US - mexico for two nations in soccer and I think that's a good one.

He said he was thinking Missouri - Kansas in football because they don't play each otehr anymore but played 120 times until 1911. I think that's a dumb one. I think Nebraska - oklahoma is way better.

Individual I told him:
Magic - Bird
McEnrone - Borg
Messi - Ronaldo
Ali - Frazier


What are some other good ones you could think of?

Mexican Food and BBQ in Austin

I have a co-worker headed to Austin for a week and wanted a recommendation for BBQ and Mexican food. I am a pretty simple dude and think you can throw a rock and hit a BBQ and Mexican joint for the win. What would your go-to BBQ and Mexican Food place be in Austin? Thanks in advance and the volleyball team just needs to get back to the basics, pass, set and hit!

Today’s Gift (11-6)

“Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.” —Saint Augustine

From as early as I can remember as a child, I believed in a Creator. I didn’t know Him until I was in my late 20’s when I gave my life to Him after being married a few years. The idea of “seeing” what I believed about Him was just an idea until I started having what I call “divine appointments”.

One of the first divine appointments I had was when my wife and I were trying to get pregnant. We both had to have medical treatment to conceive and when we finally did, we had two miscarriages in a row. Our faith was greatly tested. We even tried adoption and that fell through in a very bizarre way. We just kept on praying for a child.

Then one day I received a box of supplies from my pharma company (I was a pharma rep for 13 years). Inside the box, besides my usual marketing materials, was a can of baby formula. Our company does NOT make or supply baby formula. In no way did our company have access to baby formula, nor did anyone in my company know we were trying to get pregnant.

Soon after receiving the baby formula, we found out we were pregnant again. This time we had a healthy baby boy. This was the first of many divine appointments in our lives. Many of them have occurred during my business career at times where we ran into brick walls to keep our business alive and through prayer, we were able to find solutions that came from divine appointments.

One that stands out was when we had a deadline to have a new version of our software cleared by the FDA or we would forfeit a milestone payout from our new owners. We received notice of clearance on December 31st, one day before our forfeit deadline. The FDA does NOT clear submittals on holidays like New Year’s Eve!

These are my examples of SEEING what you believe in.

Keep the faith my friends!

Joe Biden the Head of a Crime Family

That’s a shocking title, I know, but unless Giuliani is falsifying recovered text messages, it’s true.

Hunter Biden, in a text to “the family” confirms the family pays half their salaries to Joe. The obvious connection here is that Joe sets his family up in lucrative positions using his power, provides quid quo pros, like firing a prosecutor investigating the company his idiot son sits on the board of, and in exchange the family kicks back half the dirty money to Joe.

That’s a crime family. Joe is a walking national security threat, with massive exposure to black mail, not to even mention the morality lapses he shows.

To my liberal corraliban friends - do you just not believe this stuff or don’t care?

And Big Tech and MSM are blocking the story. How can we roll over and accept this censoring of free speech and forcing corrupt politicians down our throats? This is bigger than political bickering, this is existential, end of democracy kind of stuff.

Heres the 2 texts from Hunter:

“I love you all but I don’t receive any respect, and that’s fine, I guess. Works for you, apparently. I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for thirty years.”

“It’s really hard, but don’t worry, unlike pop, I won’t make you give me half your salary.”


Most important topics Steve Sarkisian addressed on Wednesday

Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian addressed the media on Wednesday during his weekly SEC media conference call.

Here are the most important topics Sarkisian addressed.

1. Sarkisian was asked how close this team is to connecting and operating as he would like and said, “I think we’re pretty close.” That was a nice way of saying “next question.” No, I did not ask the question.

Sarkisian was asked for a health update on Isaiah Bond and Andrew Makuba and said, “They both have had a good week so far.” Sarkisian did not add any details.

However, Sarkisian said running back Velton Gardner will miss the rest of the season due to an eye injury.

2. Sarkisian asked about needing Jermayne Lole since Vernon Broughton is expected to miss the first half against Florida due to a targeting penalty he sustained in the second half against Vanderbilt.

“We're going to need the complete player in Jermayne,” Sarkisian said. “Florida's got a really physical offensive line, they’re a physical running football team. So, first and foremost, our ability to stop the run is going to be critical on Saturday, and he's got to play a big part in that.”

3. A reporter asked Sarkisian what he has asked Arch Manning to improve on and if his backup quarterback has met those expectations.

“I think Arch is doing a really nice job," Sarkisian said. "Gosh, we were fortunate to have him step in the way that he did for those two-and-a-half games and got some starts under his belt. I think he continues to work at his overall understanding of what we're doing schematically, and then working on some of the fundamentals and details that we're asking.”

When the reporter followed up by asking if fundamentals meant footwork and asked for specifics, Sarkisian said, “Yeah, it’s all that stuff. You’re spot on.”

4. Florida also has eight interceptions in the last four games after registering just one pick in the first four contests. The Gators have recorded multiple takeaways in three straight games for the first time since 2019.

I asked Sarkisian to describe what Florida does so well to create turnovers.

“I think one thing is, A, they've got a good scheme that you can see their players have gained confidence in as the year has gone on,” Sarkisian said. “They're really physical at the line of scrimmage. Because of that, I think they can deploy people in the secondary from a coverage perspective, and mix coverages and disguise coverages. But on the flip side, they'll be aggressive at times, and they'll pressure you, and they'll force the quarterback into some poor decisions. I think they just do a good job of all that. They've got quality players. They've got a good scheme that the players have gained confidence in. But then it's them mixing all that they do to force some poor decisions from the quarterback’s perspective.”

5. In addition, the Gators have allowed just 12 sacks on the season, which ranks fourth-least in the SEC (42nd nationally).

I asked Sarkisian to describe what Florida does so well up-front.

“I think Billy [Napier] and I are kind of cut from a similar cloth in that he believes in running the ball. When you run it, and then you can utilize the play-action pass and give your offensive line, put them in a little better positioning, that helps. They really haven't been in games where they've just been behind, where they've had to drop back, drop back, drop back. They've been able to maintain some balance. And again, that forces defenses to not just pin the ears back and rush the passer, but have to defend the run. They can run play-action pass, they can run bootlegs, keepers, and sprint outs, and so the launch point can change.

“One, they've got some pretty good players and big guys up front. But, two, I think because of their ability to run the football, it allows them to take some of the pressure off that offensive line with the style of play.”

Trump's Health

I am only 66 and I am amazed at Trump's stamina and energy. Most men Trump's age are.... dead. The ones that aren't are often more like Joe Biden than Donald Trump. That Trump never gets sick, never loses his voice, meets with hundreds of people every day, and traveled more miles in the last month than I have in my whole life?

I consider him as much a freak of nature as Vince Young in 2005. It is just amazing.

Updated SEC Tiebreakers

After licking my wounds from the Aggies' loss at SC, I thought I'd do a Sunday morning stat dump on SEC tiebreakers stuff in case you're feeling nerdy.

Here we go.

- 5 teams tied (UGA, A&M, TN, TX, LSU)

- Based on the fact that TX plays A&M and UGA plays TN, there can't be any 4-team ties at this point.

- Updated SOS (strength of schedule)

LSU - 53.5 %
TX - 44.4%
A&M - 42.5%
UGA - 40.5%
TN - 38.3%

- 3 Way Ties

* TX, LSU, UGA - LSU 1 seed by SOS, UGA 2 seed by win over TX.

* TX, LSU, TN - TN out on Common Opponents (L to Ark) ; LSU and TX to ATL (TX 1 seed by better common opponents record)

* A&M, LSU, UGA - LSU and A&M to ATL on SOS (A&M 1 seed by HTH win)

* A&M, LSU, TN - TN out on Common Opponents (L to Ark), A&M and LSU to ATL (A&M 1 seed by HTH win)

Bottom line, Texas needs to win out and have LSU or UGA out of the way. Root for Bama this week UT fans.

Lots of football left to go. Isn't a real system fun?
