These games are so slow now.   So much inactivity.    Reviews of nearly everything.  Officiating conferences.  Commercials.

Longhorns up 38-0, Quinn Ewers' day is done, Arch Manning up with 4:04 left in the 3rd.

Yup. It kinda sucks. Don’t want to watch a game for what feels like 6 hours and see 43,000 commercials in the process.

I would like to thank the University of Alabama for Isaiah Bond, he's a monster.  Texas WR corps is going to be pretty filthy this year.
yeah he was definitely the best WR in the porthole. That porthole been too kind to Texas last couple years when it comes to receivers.

What would those issues be?

I think you're  dramatically underestimating how important coaching is.  I see that a lot in college footbal fans, it's interesting.

It's not really luck, it's by design-- his design.  He has a very wise trust of advisors telling him to be patient and let it come to him.  They absolutely did NOT want him starting in his first year, they insisted on a redshirt.  And they REALLY want him studying and developing under Sarkisian.  They're being very smart about all of this.

AND, Arch throws a TD on his 3rd attempt, Texas 45-0.

Think Will Howard is a pretty good upgrade at quarterback
is he though? Cause I’m just not seeing that. I actually think he’s a downgrade but hey that’s just me.

Which was why I asked do we really need a two minute timeout

Billy Napier wont survive the season.  Florida and Texas are the two schools that I do not understand how they can ever be bad
in the past Florida I could understand, SEC >>>>> B12 and there are bunch of other schools that eat the talent away. And the majority of the high end talent in the state of Florida is in South Florida, which isn’t really Gator country. 

Texas really makes no sense, should’ve been way better but as Utee says: it’s the coaching, stupid. Texas hired a bunch of turds once Mack Brown left.

He hasn't whistled a ball into anyone's butt and he can move in the pocket. Big time upgrade. Though I see McCord is having a good game right now so maybe he just needed more time.

Smart handlers and obviously doesn’t need the money as he comes from a pretty wealthy family. 99% of kids in his position would’ve bolted to start and get more NIL $$$$.
