  1. I'll push back against the OL being terrible. Quite average seems right, with enough good pieces to improve a ton with some real coaching. Also, I've posted this before but programs who have a lot of talent improve quickly when they upgrade their coaching. All these coaches were basically breaking in a new qb as well: Notre Dame - 2009: 6-6 2010 (Kelly's 1st): 8-5 Ohio State - 2011: 6-7 2012 (Urban's 1st): 12-0 Michigan - 2014: 5-7 2015 (Harbaugh's 1st): 10-3 Florida - 2017: 4-7 2018 (Mullen's 1st): 10-3 If you hire the right guy, teams that have been underachieving get better really quickly.
  2. I’m sure Oregon is having this same problem, nothing Nike can do right.
  3. Trying to think of examples elite recruiting HCs who are personable and well-liked and come across as laid back in 1-1 settings. I guess Pete Carroll is the obvious one and would make a lot of sense of the model for Sark. I think that approach can work but it probably works better once you have some real success to back up that easy confidence. When you are as vulnerable to negative recruiting as we currently are (and the only counter is Sark’s vision of the program) it’s probably a better time for the hard sell.
  4. This is fair, but we aren't currently looking at the Sarkisian era as trending poorly before we've played a single game are we? If we are writing off the misses in this class so far and adjusting our expectations for the 2022 class I'm there. I don't expect a flood of big flips from committed prospects no matter how well we play this season. Unrelated, but were we in on the Jeudy recruitment at some point? I don't remember that at all.
  5. I don't know that Sark is necessarily the point of that picture but still. Slow day. https://247sports.com/Player/King-Mwikuta-45572616/high-school-181425/
  6. It seems like a bit that you would get this pissy about being criticized for this rather than... considering the wider gamut of issues that led to getting your very light rebuking.
  7. This is neither here nor there because your point is BS, but wait until you find out how wars are fought and justified.
  8. https://247sports.com/player/derrick-brown-47485/ This guy I guess? Funny enough, I graduated with Keondra Smith who went to aggy as a rb the next year. He also got a new car senior year, the rumor at school was that it was paid for by Nebraska boosters who he lead on for a while before commiting to a&m. No idea if it was true or not. If there is any truth to either it's pretty wild that low 3 star rbs would be getting cars purchased for them, even back then.
  9. Let the Moczulski vs Stone debate rage.
  10. https://uproxx.com/life/tom-colicchio-interview-top-chef-18/ Pretty good interview with Tom about the season. Touches on Dawn missing elements off several plates and some behind the scenes stuff. Looks like the interviews was before Gabe's troubles started to circulate more so there is no mention of that. I liked the answer on his favorite dish of the season because I really wanted to try that hotpot:
  11. No Sudden Move last night, new Soderbergh movie. Pretty mixed, great cast and some good parts but it was pretty nonsensical. Also he did his fisheye lens thing to the point where it was distracting. Best part was: C+
  12. The David Fincher one or the Swedish one?
  13. Even more bizarre that we told a Jacob we didn’t have any room for him
  14. Team letFreeHornlive. He rightfully paid the price yesterday but doesn’t deserve the full Carl/Walker Little shirt guy death sentence imo.
  15. While we are slightly backing from the ledge, pretty exciting to see Maalik impressing with his accuracy at elite 11. Everyone knows he has a cannon but it sure seems like he has the potential to be an elite passer all around. Fake football and all, won’t mean shit unless he can keep his mechanics in a real game and make good decisions but good to see he’s more than a big kid who throws hard.
  16. Hopefully it went better than the Cam Williams call yesterday afternoon. Seriously though, if he specifically told the coaches he was going elsewhere that would probably get out so I think we are still at “we have a chance, but vibes are bad”
  17. I hope Nahlin is correct here but the guy is pathological that no one could possibly know something that he doesn’t. How is he so certain that it can’t be known yet where he will end up and everyone is just making predictions based on rumors? Don’t want to leave any room at all for the possibility that your source is out of the loop and maybe others have different sources?
  18. IT is on the verge of mutiny, subscribers getting restless with the stream of seemingly bad information over there. At least Nahlin and co are handling it with personal accountability and patience. Just kidding, they are completely thin skinned and defensive about all of it.
  19. Haha, holy shit. I'm not sure even Skip would be shameless enough to push that nonsense as a real argument.
  20. It speaks the the few days we've had where this is actually slightly positive compared to most updates we've gotten.
