  1. I too really hope Kliff can piece together a season that'll keep his job at Tech because I believe he is going to be an elite coach someday.

    It would really suck to go thru the growing pains with him only to see the payoff and bigtime success happen elsewhere.

    I also fully understand that some don't see that same potential at all and that his record speaks for itself.

    I would not want Kirby Hocutt's job.

  2. Armadillo, that's what I'm ramblin' on about - what if...

    What if all 4 of them stayed at Tech? That's already an embarrassment of riches so I'm leaving Jr Michael Brewer out of this. I might be forgetting the stagger on their frosh seasons so let me see if I have this correct.

    '13 - Mayfield and Webb

    '14 - Mahomes

    '15 - Stidham 

    Davis played 4 out of 4 yrs - no eligibility left

    Baker played 4 out of 5 yrs - no eligibility left

    Pat played 3 out 3 yrs - could've played last year and been done or redshirted and had this year left

    Jarret lost a transfer year and has played 2 out of 3 yrs. This will be his final year. Even with a redshirt yr at Tech he would be sitting on two seasons left.

  3. Chuck was a royal prick toward him in the later years. How he felt years ago means nothing to Jimmy - he wanted Chuck's love and respect to have been ongoing.

    Yes, Kim knew both of them - the good and the bad. - and her reaction was puzzling to me at first because we know that she knew how Chuck treated Jimmy.

    but "emotionally detached" nails it.

    This is the first time for her to see Jimmy not give a shit. In her eyes, Jimmy always forgave Chuck no matter how bad things got between them.

  4. Could be but what would be the point of the fake letter? Jimmy didn't know of it's existence so why write it? 

    As written, it appeared to have been from years earlier but was still a complete contradiction to how Chuck felt about Jimmy later on and therefore couldn't have been any comfort.

    Hypothetically:  If OU is in the SEC West, the Sooners are at least sharing a division with LSU (which I think most would consider a helmet school.)  So that's an upgrade from zero.  in the B1G West OU gets Nebraska annually.  In both conferences, you'd get occasional cross-division games against helmet schools.  In the Big 12 though?  Never.  

     

    The Big 12 could offset the situation to some degree by reducing the number of conference games back to 8.  A 2nd helmet school on the annual OOC schedule would be easier to work out with 4 open OOC slots instead of just 3.  

    This. This right here. Why is it so difficult to understand?

  6. I for one am liking the slow burn, even when nothing really happens. I'd enjoy an hour of Kim watching paint dry if it took place in the BB/BCS universe.

    And speaking of Kim, the question of what happens to her and why she isn't around in BB is, along with Jimmy's conversion to Saul, one of the underlying themes of the series. I think we were given a glimpse into a possible fracture in the Kim and Jimmy relationship.

  7. There's a lot of catching up to do in this thread so I'll just hit on a few bullet points

    -  tried to work a deal on a car with R/D on 3 seperate occasions and walked away all 3 times wondering how the hell they ever sold anything

    - I was one of Amanda's original moderators when she started RP. It's ridiculous what that place has become. 1st Shaggy and now Surly is without a doubt the best site for discussing Tech. Thank You, Horns, for welcoming us lost souls in here.

    - I agree that KK handcuffed himself with his initial staff and has been playing catchup ever since. It's a shame because I think the group he has now could really be good if allowed to survive this season - but I don't see that happening

    - as for the starting QB, I'd go with the freshman

    - visited Washington and Oregon for the 1st time this summer along with trips to Zona and Cali and I gotta say that while those are all great road trips, they need to remain non-conference

  8. Yeah that's a free run right there. I don't understand how that is missed.

    In last years regional Tech a player called out on a safe slide into third but the late tag pushed the runner off the base and therefore was "tagged off the base"

    they should have locked him up for life. Perfect match. I know he had wandering eyes.  And I know they paid him well. But man, wish they could have figured out a way to make that work.  Love the color he added to the Big 12. 

    we've rehashed it over and over and even all of us Tech fans don't agree.

    my take has always been that he would have moved on by now had he not been fired in '09 so I'm not butt hurt about him being sent packing.

    as for him being fired, you mentioned his wandering eyes - yes that was a problem but not enough to get fired over in and of itself.

    insubordination was a problem but not enough to get fired over in and of itself.

    crazy contract demands were a problem but not enough to get fired over in and of itself.

    however, combined altogether and with the cherry on top being getting taken to court over a suspension and Tech had had enough and pulled the trigger.

    hindsight is 20/20 and perhaps Tech FB would  also be a top8 program like Tech's other men's teams.

    but like I said, 9 years later I don't believe Mike would still be HC regardless of what happened in '09

    Would you trade a Top 8 finish in football for a Top 80 finish in the rest of those sports?

    No, because we kinda already did that in '08.

    But trade a National Title or at least a championship game appearance? Absolutely!!!

     

    regardless of the football struggles of late it's still impressive for all those other top8s to have been achieved this year - and with baseball still going
