    Ahh. The Family Truckster CrossTour.

    Nobody is trending for a run just like Alabama. That won’t be repeated.

    That’s where I’m at. Sark does a shit ton right, is likable and has a redemption story worthy of anyone’s time. It’s that whole consistently winning on game day thing that is the problem. I want him to succeed for a myriad of reasons. I’ve seen a lot of evidence this far that he could, and a lot that suggests that ultimately he won’t. Yay. We dominated the best KU squad since towels were being used as two ply in Lawrence. Their defense is terrible and their quarterback was freshly back from injury while clearly being disinterested in using his legs beyond the most dire circumstances. Sark and the program need to win out and start taking CFB by storm next year. Anything less gets a lot of side eye while we look for an outlet to plug in the hot seat around October imoho.

    Ehhh. Sorta. Ricky and VY forced his hand. He stumbled into 2008 when Irby went down and Ship took over the inside slot. Otherwise he bumblefucked his way through the offseason and rebuilt his offense in October usually after OU and maybe a decent OOC opponent had disabused him of his poor notions of personnel and ability. He was generally smart enough to identify a generational talent and ride it. Otherwise…not so much.

    Yup. We’re not content to sit back and demonstrate our ineptitude at playing two high zone anymore. I don’t know if a revelation was had, Sark maybe put his foot down or PK just said F it and let’s ball. There’s very little catch defense being played by our guys at the moment.

    Depends on whether KSU/KU plays before us (they don’t) and if KSU loses. I suspect some egregious BS is on deck against BU just to make sure we don’t backdoor the title game.
  7. Bobby_Batronic
    There’s plenty of deception built into Sark’s offense, but the QB has to see the game well. And we don’t exactly let QE audible at the line or have a lot of hots to relieve pressure. This is the Sark offense in second gear. That doesn’t relive him of some his dipshittery and bullheadedness. Show a light box and crash down hard is Sark’s cryptonite. We have answers on the offense, but for some strange reason rarely get to them.

    Wasn’t a navy gay club in SD burned down recently? Shaped like a Wasp class and named Good Man Dick in French or something?

    It’s definitive to my eye. We don’t go quarters at a time sitting back in cover 4 with the occasional cat blitzes as our heater anymore. Sark even mentioned how aggressively PK called the end of the game against KSU in his press conference, and that looked to continue against TCU.

    I’ll be curious to see if someone seriously challenging him for the starting job fires up a competitive streak or if he starts looking for an easier path. USC is looking like an 11 win team, and Tennessee being awesome until getting cock blocked last night add to the frustration. It’s a different era. Rosters can effectively be flipped in two years, and free agency is a thing now. Sark needs to dominate the offseason and have this thing take off like a rocket next year. Limp dicking through one score wins and losses to just above .500 ball isn’t going to cut it.
  11. Bobby_Batronic
    Stringing together a great game and a pretty good game is definitive improvement. Finishing with two games with well above average performances would be evidence that that a corner has been turned. It still looks to my eye like a decision was made to get after offenses quite a bit more starting in Manhattan, and it has paid off in spades so far. I temper that with the fact that Daniels basically never tried to run the ball, and that offense isn’t built around an immobile QB being nifty in the pocket. But it does feel like PK and company have met the players half way to where they’re at and found a groove.
  12. Bobby_Batronic
    There seems to have been a revelation at the end of the KSU game along the lines of “…maybe we suck at sit back and take it defense and we have some hosses at DT so maybe we should like try and dictate a bit more to the offense.” It’s working.
  13. Bobby_Batronic
    It’s understandable. The loss of life is tragic. I know people who know some of the pilots killed and one was from my town, but there’s no real connection there. That’s not to say it’s not sad, you don’t feel for the loved ones or don’t reflect upon your own mortality and think about what you do and leaving your own family behind. There also the flip side of crawling all over and watching Texas Raiders at air shows for decades now and feeling that loss too.
  14. Bobby_Batronic
    Standard DL tactic from middle school to the NFL. We stemmed the hell out of the defensive line in 05 and cause OL’a to false start consistently. Just as we caused TCU’s OL to do so again tonight. But no. Big XII Offuckerating strikes again.
  15. Bobby_Batronic
    It’s not understanding the defense and down and distance versus threat. On the play you referenced Ford had another defender outside of him and a safety over the top. Any outside breaking route was covered. Anything deep was covered. Anything bending back to the middle of the field would find vacated grass. There’s not a lot of 20 yard stop routes in college football. Ford’s initial drop was fine, but he didn’t understand where his help was, where it wasn’t and what routes would get open. That’s not to pick on Ford. Pretty much the entire secondary is guilty of it when defending anything between the numbers. We would be a significantly better defense if our secondary players just assumed that every route was breaking inside between the numbers and short of the safety. The number of college QB’s who can legitimately threaten the field from the far hash on out breaking routes is few and far between.
  16. Bobby_Batronic
    Yeah, we also have nonsensical substitution practices on defense.
  17. Bobby_Batronic
    That Twitter video does nothing to dissuade me. Meh. The report from the locker room is more damning. But I’d say we hired a recovering alcoholic to be our HC so Lake’s image can be rehabilitated if he can. That particular eventuality may not play out, and I confess ignorance to those accusations before positing that opinion, but I think we’ll be looking for more on defense. We don’t have to play complex zone, but we better figure out how to play competent zone amongst our other issues. Our continued spot dropping and not understanding down and distance versus threats tells me that our players largely do not comprehend what they are doing.
  18. Bobby_Batronic
    We’ve kinda been doing that for two years. QB’s can count in UT being in two high on nearly every down, and the middle of the field being porously defended in high school level zone execution. Most P5 QB’s will feast on that situation. Particularly when we struggle to rush the passer and the officials struggle to call holds.
  19. Bobby_Batronic
    Not remotely. He seemed to manage about 80 plays, 450 yards and 28ish points given up. Pk definitively does some things better, and our defense has improved. He’s just bad a situational football, substitution practices and attempting things that defend the middle of the field on money downs. I suspect we try to lure Jimmy Lake to Austin this offseason to help make the back end right for PK since the current coaches can’t do that and coordination seems to be of lesser importance to our DC.
  20. Bobby_Batronic
    We do need some edges who can get after the QB. Anyone who coached defense as badly as Vance did at Texas can also STFU.
  21. Bobby_Batronic
    They’re not the conference darling for the first time since electricity and are noticing the Sooner Magic ain’t what it used to be.
  22. Bobby_Batronic
    I’m sure ATC decided to move your plane out of the way to get another out to make time or departure procedure gate requirements. That happens a fair amount. Likewise, you probably jumped in line because other departure gates were closed or the ATC desk mentioned above negotiated a better time.
  23. Bobby_Batronic
    I think we can likely surmise that Howard will manage a career game against us, Knowles will light us up because we don’t try to limit their threats, Deuce will get his and their kicker will hit all kicks inside the 50 yard line. It is known.
  24. Bobby_Batronic
    You’re expecting lube?
  25. Bobby_Batronic
    Yes. The pilot can request more, dispatch can add more within their discretion and dispatch may have to add more to account for routing and minimum legal fuel requirements.
