What is your basis that Dicker was horrible at Arky?

Missed FG, fumbled punt in the red zone leading to a TD. 10 point swing.

I still contend that the coaching staff royally f##ked up what they had with Jerrod Heard.

Coaches are generally too proud of their game plan to let someone freewheel with talent like VY.

GameDay hinting they will be in Austin next week.

Yeh, I don't think we can put it in the end zone on kickoffs.

Stone has a very strong leg and has won the kick off job it sounds like. Not sure I've heard it reported either way but hopefully he can produce plenty of touchbacks.

Will be surprised if they are since Texas-bama will be a Fox game.

The fumble on the punt snap was definitely a horrible play. 

The missed FG from 52 yards was not a horrible miss by any stretch of the imagination. 

And averaging 47.2 yards on 5 punts is the opposite of horrible.

There were alot of mistakes by alot of players and coaches. I knew when I saw that game on the schedule that we’d be very lucky to win. Sark commented that he knew the deal with the game and that we’d be ready. He didn’t and we weren’t. That the jihad game for the whole state of Arkansas and our fans are busy worrying about A&M. When you’re The University of Texas, you’re ALOT of teams Super Bowl. Regardless of what our record is or what’s going on in college football, most of the world has one eye peeled on what Texas is doing. When we go to the SEC our coaches and players better be ready. This is why you come to Texas. This is why Texas is still mentioned as one of the best jobs in the country even with 12 years of mostly bad football. It’s time to start going into these games and win them and quit getting embarrassed. Like we used too. Time will tell and soon.

Only good football seen in a long while was Tom's bowl games

Dicker was supposed to be elite, he ranked in a tie for 35th beyond 50 yards.

Punt stats don't take into account the lost yardage on the fumble, not the whole story.

Worst of all, it all happened early in the game, and momentum went down the drain when the crowd came alive.

The wheels fell off the wagon, we sucked. Hoping not to have our pants pulled down again against SEC Bama.

Guessing his recovery from his minor injury is taking longer then anticipated.

Does this include A. Hall?  Or is he considered out for the season?

Good question.  Last report was he was still suspended,  but working on what he needed to do to rejoin the team.

Now tell us how many FG attempts over 50 yards Dicker had and how many he made. 

Texas was down 10-0 when Arkie blocked the punt so we didn't exactly have that much momentum to go down the drain at that point.

And I'm not sure how accurate it is to say that momentum went down the drown considering that we outscored Arkie over the next 13 minutes or so of the game. .

Oh come on NTG, you know what happens when Arkie blocks a punt . . . against Texas. Seismographs are used when that happens.

Wondered about the chatter on IT concering depth chart. Now looks like there will not be one. 

What says the board?

I like it. No one gets complacent.
