I agree he’s good but if he plays against a secondary that is taught to turn their head and look for the ball, he will throw several interceptions. He is fast and powerful. He has a cannon. He also throws a shit ton of balls up for grabs and got away with it yesterday. That along with some terrible calls/ non calls made me very ragey.
I’m not completely discounting what you’re saying but aggy O line got bitchslapped by Arkansas 3 man front too. They haven’t been very good all year until last night.
Their initial score was bogus too because the receiver ran out of bounds, they even reviewed that one. Idiotic refs caused a lot of our issues but not all of them. We still should have won that game.
I was on the Card train initially because I felt he had a higher ceiling. Maybe he still does. That being said, it appears that the players are more behind Casey and have more confidence in him. I work in a profession where leadership is critical and that is what I sense in Thompson. The play where he tried to go and lead block for his running back is a perfect example. That was instinctive and speaks to why the team appears to be behind him. There have been a few supervisors I’ve worked for that I would run through a brick wall for because of the level of respect I had for them. I’m hoping that is what Casey brings to the table (especially when it comes to the o line), inspiration and intensity.
Look back at the Kent State game. Aggy was getting run on easier than the final score indicated by a mobile QB. Cal ads is ass my dude. I think piggy has a legit shot.
This game is hard to predict for me, I’m not sure how good or bad either team is based on the mixed results so far. Texas should definitely win based on talent and home field but I’m not sure I have much trust in them after Arky, we’ll see.
This brings up something interesting from the Texas vs Arky game. I wasn’t sure if hitting low was also a penalty at the college level. If it is, we got double fucked on that late hit on Card. Sorry for the thread derail.
My Dad was a poor farmer who joined the army because he couldn’t afford college. He was stationed in Arkansas and saw the ‘59 game. After that he was hooked. We grew up rooting for the Horns. My earliest memories are watching Earl in the mid 70’s.
Then one of my best friends from high school was a walk on 89-90 season. I’d go up and party with him quite often. I was a student at UTSA.
Now my son is a freshman at UT living the dream.
Colorado,
who we handled pretty well last year was a cunt hair from beating big bad SEC aggy. But you’re right we can’t compete. I’m tired of arguing with some of you. I think Flood is a good coach with a fantastic track record and maybe he hasn’t had enough time to teach properly. I believe there is more talent there than you do. We’ll agree to disagree. Other than Georgia and Alabama, SEC ain’t shit. I ain’t sucking their dick.
Outtalent everybody? No. Outtalent Arkansas. Yes. Whittington is a five star recruit that is very talented, Worthy is pretty good too. Most of this O-line played pretty well towards the end of last year. This year they suck shit through a straw. Bottom line, my statement wasn’t that we could outtalent everybody, it was that Arkansas didn’t do that. I’ll stand by that.
