Yeah this transfer portal crap is causing coaches to make questionable decisions.
I agree with you. I watched every play of yesterday's game (I DVR your games and fast forward through everything but the actual plays), and it was a pretty complete performance. A little shoddy tackling here and there, but against a quality opponent, the game was really never in doubt. And for his first start, that was an excellent performance by a young QB. If I were a UT fan, I'd be excited.
But instead I'm suddenly pretty worried about this year's version of the RRR.
I like Thompson but is Sark's system Card looks more comfortable and decisive. He will get better every game. Arkansas is not better than U la la. The atmosphere in Fayetnam will be toxic tho. I can't wait.
I will be in Fayetteville for this. Hearing from some Arky folks that the atmosphere will be through the roof.
Arkansas is a pivotal game in the schedule. Get that win and 9 wins becomes likely 10 becomes possible.
I will be holding off calling for 9-10 wins. Tcu has a good and confident QB and have demonstrated to be a solid team year in and year out. Isu is solid and ou is very good.
That’s the thing. If they beat Arkansas next week. Even if they lose to TCU, OU, and ISU probably put them 9-3, maybe 8-4. I think I would pick Texas to beat Iowa state though to be honest. Would of beat them last year with a real coach.
I don’t know man. Everyone on here including the expert Clob (and I seriously do respect his opinion as a former player) continued to talk about how LaLa D line was one of the biggest and baddest and the main reason they would challenge us. Or is our OL suspect? Can’t have it both ways.
ULL has two probable NFL guys on that DL in Humphey and Hill. Keep in mind ULL has guys that didn’t have the grades to get into LSU community college.
This staff won’t have 10 called QB runs a game like Hermensa.
I expect Sweaty Pat to blitz until Card makes him pay for it.

Agreed. LaLa definitely posed a first game challenge and was hyped to be much closer than it ended up. But it was at home on a fricken oven toaster hot day. Arkansas will bring a whole new level of adversity and thriving crowd hatred unseen since 2019. Looking forward to this one for sure.
That game was an anomaly game. We had almost 600 yards of offense, two turn overs and 10 penalties for 110 yards--- all st pivitol moments during the game. It was the perfect storm train wreck trap game. Vince threw 2 bone head interceptions at key moments, and we held kansas to a whopping 51 yards rushing. We'd just dropped 56 on ok st head the week before, and guess who our opponent was after Kansas? Aggy. This was the perfect trap game-- yet we had SO much more talent than kansas, we were about to overcome two picks and 110 yards in timely penalties. Kansas had EVERYTHING go their way. We still won.
What we saw yesterday is not an equivalent comparison my man. It just isn't.
We simply got to get better. Tackling wasn't attricious like it was under Manny __iaz, so that a definite positive.
You can’t fit your argument by using the word anomaly. That would just about apply to every close game and situation. No this team isn’t VY team and the dozen or more NFL starters on that team, and Colts teams in 2008/2009. But it is very much an equivalent comparison. You can’t extoll the greatness of ULLs D line and then complain about 3 sacks. You just can’t my man.
Ehhhh in fairness, I don't remember extolling the greatness of UL's D line. In fact, I don't recall making any comments about their DL directly or indirectly until I asked the question-- if anyone was concerned about giving up 3 sacks to them. That is interrogatory, not exclamitory. Honestly because of how fvcking nuts my life has been this last month between travel and buying/moving into a new home, I'd done a thumb nail scratch on UL and their team. Extolling their Dline---- I think you've conflated someone else's opinion with mine. If I'm wrong, please directly to my post-- I am human, after all.
But yes, this is no VY team or Colt team-- talent ir execution wise. But I'm still not going to lower my standards. If I'm at the bar and it's 2am and the 8.5 and up chicks are all gone, I ain't rolling out with a 5 just so I can say I got my dick wet. I'd rather go home and pound it in peace.
To your point Clob I’ll be interested to see can Sark, Flood, and this coaching staff squeeze a little more out of these upperclass guys who I think everyone would agree have underachieved given their recruiting profile, or 6 weeks from now are we just gonna be like “well this group just wasn’t very good we gotta evaluate better”. We know this staff can develop players several of them were huge reasons why Bama just replaced one 1st round pick with another. Be interesting to see if they can improve guys who came in with that profile but never lived up to it.
Totally agree. The slightest little adjustments can help a 22 year old play better. And that's where we have failed in the past years. It's the little things that matter. You take care of the little things and the big things take care of themselves. We need to see the little things that this staff can add to these upperclassmen.
Ok. Arguing with my wife. Sometimes you just gotta throw your hands up and go to the bar. I’m on my way now.
Yep. I feel like we did see a little of those adjustments yesterday. The guys making plays continuing to touch the ball, plays being designed specifically get guys open. Felt like yesterday everything sark did had a purpose. That hasn’t been the case in a long time.
Did you hire and was there a rekindling with our partying realtor from some time ago? Asking for a friend
LB play was better than I expected. But let's put some serious speed opposite of them and I'll be able to give you a definitive answer.
My man, I'm not arguing, I'm asking. I dont think I extolled the virtue of UL's Dline. But if I did, can you please show me where?
All good man, I’m too impatient to scroll through prior posts. My main point is that you have most definitely provided a less positive picture of our team’s expectations this year. I on the other hand drink burnt orange Red Bull. I thought we kicked some ass including the OL. I know what I saw compared to prior years. But if you want to further analyze and point out our weaknesses from your prior experience and network, awesome.
Isn’t this awesome, college football season is upon us boys. I’m so fricken sick of COVID and politics. Aside from work and personal life, we can now immerse ourselves in college football. My favorite holiday season!!
Howdy bud...... you seem to have vanished for this game against arky.
I'm not going to rub your nose in sh!t over our terrible oline-- I'll simply say this-- if I tell you it's Easter, dye your fvcking eggs.
You’d figure these dudes would finally nut up one time after getter their shit kicked in and bring some bite. At least one drive.
