The $9.95’s suggested that he was very close to Sam with regard to execution in practice, but that we wanted to maintain his shirt. And our penchant for not being able to win by more than a score kept him from getting four games worth of reps.

January 11, 20196 yr I really liked the little I saw of Rising at the spring game last year. Not happy he's transferring but a little confused as to why he thinks Utah is a good landing spot. Oh well.

January 11, 20196 yr I wonder how Herman treats these situations. Putting your name in the portal is one thing but if you’re visiting other schools then I’d say you’re no longer a member of the team.

So, yes, we've come to a consensus, as usual.

January 11, 20196 yr Taking an official is tantamount to withdrawing from school. He’s gone gone gone. It’s like wondering whether he’s going to break up from his old gf and deciding to date another hot chick once before making up his mind.

January 11, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, Gene Parmesan said: Why didn't they put him in when Sam was hurt if he was close? I think the obvious answer if that they wanted to get him in the game while retaining his redshirt which means they either had to pick and choose games during the season, or save him until the last 4-5 games. Shane was serviceable in the offense and certainly had more collegiate game experience, and we frankly needed Sam for most games when he was healthy as we did our typical fourth quarter turtle and made games closer than they needed to be in deference to a coaching axiom more suited to the SEC than the Big XII. I think Rising would have played more if we could have taken 3-4 score leads into the fourth quarter, but usually we were just hanging on by our fingernails.

Yes, because we tended to turtle the offense and play pretty basic defense, because of the staff's belief in running the game clock. And that's very valid in most conferences, but not so much in one where the offenses generally don't give a shit about time of possession.

AND WE BLEW THEM ALL? Almost every fucking time we gained a 3 score lead in the 4th quarter we almost immediately gave up a TD dr. The only exception was the OU game where we kept ou from scoring on their first 4th quarter drive, but gave up 3 fucking td drives at the end. we had the 3 score lead several times, we just fucking loved getting complacent and giving up 10 or more 4th quarter points in every single one of those games.

Sigh, I don't mean 17 points. I mean more like 28, and you might have gathered that I was very aware of our tendency to blow late leads based on my mentioning it in every post in this thread, as well as why I think we tended to do it.

January 11, 20196 yr I really doubt he stays even had he gotten mop up duty. He would still be looking at mopping up for two more years.
January 11, 20196 yr Fuck it. RS Roschon, 2 years of weight room with Yancy, get a NC ring as Senior Sam’s backup, take over as a RS Soph. That being said Card will prolly transfer/change positions. Need our 2021 take to be a stud to reset the cycle.

This transfer stuff means that you basically have to take numbers at QB almost every cycle.
January 11, 20196 yr All part of Mensa Tom's master plan. Rising will start for 2 years at Utah, get some in-game seasoning, graduate, transfer back to Texas, and still play 2 more seasons. Tom's playing 5D Chess.

January 11, 20196 yr Does Rising have to sit out a year since he sat out last year? Can't recall. Seems like most of these guys end up like Conor Brewer or Conor Wood, and the Will Grier/Kyler Murray's are the exception. So if they are afraid to compete, it sucks, but historically, it never seems like a big loss in retrospect. So long as we don't protect a recruit like Mack did Garrett Gilbert (and even Swoopes to an extent), which is a large reason we were in our 9 year desert, I'll just accept that these QBs transferring out weren't going to be game changers anyway. Just plan to sign 3 QBs every two years, at least, and take flyers on guys like Greg Ward at UH that can be used elsewhere if they don't pan out at QB.

January 11, 20196 yr I wish we could've seen Rising in a game this year, but I don't believe for a second it would have changed his decision now. At the start of this season we all had legitimate questions about who should be our starter. Sam showed flashes of brilliance his freshman year, but was also mistake prone to a point you'd assume he'd lose the job eventually if he couldn't fix his decision making. Rising and Thompson both came here betting he couldn't turn the corner and that they could win the job and be QB at texas for 3-4 years. Sam might regress next year, or get hurt, sure. If you came here betting a guy would tank, and instead he's developed into a qb who's making way too early heisman watch lists, it's likely you bet wrong and it's time to move on. Sam doesn't have the "leave early for the NFL" qb skill set, so it's a safe bet he's here two more years. If Rising thinks he's ready now to be the guy for 3-4 years, it's hard to blame him for looking around. He just bet on Sam losing, and he bet wrong.
January 11, 20196 yr They counted on Sam Ehlinger to be passive. They counted wrong. I hope the Utes love their children, too.

Due to our shitastic record (overall/and at qb) since Colt, the advent of the Herman era was intriguing as like a casting call to fill a qb role for a blue blood program that may be back on the rise. Sam just locked that role down quicker, and more emphatically than anyone anticipated.
January 11, 20196 yr I have no information whatsoever but believe that Rising is the guy who told Bru to not come to Texas. I don’t think he is happy here, and he did say he doesn’t like how much the QB has to run in this offense. If he told him to not come, I wonder what bigger issue has him all worked up.
