I live in abq and their logos and unis drive me crazy. First, they have 2 lobo logos that they actively use and both look like MS clip art. Second, as you say, they have a lot to work with. Just put a fucking Zia on the helmet. It looks great, it screams New Mexico, etc. They’ve done it occasionally: I mean, that is great…why on earth is that not their default helmet? Also, they have occasionally mixed in turquoise jerseys. I know FSU did that this year but it makes more sense for UNM. They should 100% bring back these from the ‘70s: They should cut the shit with these corny clip-art lobos, wear the above helmet every week, and go crazy with combos of silver, white, red pants and red, white, turquoise shirts. It just seems so obvious.

Because of his outsized sense of self importance. He thinks he gets the responses he does because he’s edgy and he “pushes the envelope” and “challenges people’s beliefs” when in reality it’s simply because he annoyingly thinks the world needs to know about his belief system (which is unoriginal and boring in addition to its asininity) all the time. Nobody said or intimated or suggested anything about vaccines, a topic of complete irrelevance, until he did. It had nothing to do with anything. We all know people like this, and we all dislike them.

Of course we do.

Fucking this. The conspiracy theorist / alternative medicine / wholistic healing / absurd nutrition fad / insufferable personality archetype is pretty fucking cliche. It is embarrassing watching people who think that they’re interesting or super smart because they are “in on things that the rest of the world can’t see” do their schtick in real time.

Being “intellectually honest” means that 2012 A&M should be credited with making the playoffs - even though there weren’t playoffs? He’s basically saying “we had a good season once!”

Hmmm… reconcile that with this: well, at least Goose77 seems kinda pragmatic:

Oh Christ are we doing this again? I was done bitching about Mack after 2014-2020 happened. He was far from perfect but we were a fixture in the top 10 for a decade and won the title in the best game ever played. He wasn’t inexplicably losing to Maryland and Cal and Iowa St and Kansas regularly.

I mean, in fairness, he did turn out to be a hall-of-famer. Now, Rashaan Salaam on the other hand…

Goddamnit.

Original, authentic look you came up with there, Utah.

This is the problem. It’s a bigger problem than his inaccuracy with deep balls. There are plays where he drops back and could easily pick up 3-5 yards but stands still in the pocket too long. He just lacks that sense of how to move, when to run, etc. It’s the difference between maintaining drives and not, and over time, being a good or great offense.

It seems like QE just isn’t very instinctive as a QB. He lacks pocket feel, which is what allows QBs to extend plays, keep drives alive, etc, which is the difference between good and great offenses. In addition he just isn’t good at throwing deep balls. He never has been. Thus, the offense is going to be limited and it will be up to Sark to work around the limitations. It is not because QE lacks talent or toughness or is stupid or anything like that - he just doesn’t have that QB sixth sense that the great ones do. It is what it is. You can win with him but the offense is going to be limited.

I, for one, am stunned to find Tom Herman at the center of such embarrassing, amateurish spats.

What this post presupposes is…maybe we weren’t already broken?
