  1. Excuse me, I said the Huskies won 10 when I should have said 9. Sark is credited with 8 wins in 2013, but the Huskies won their bowl without him when he left for USC. So, they went from 0-12 to 9-4 from the season before he started to the season when he left.
  2. Drastic improvement is what, 8-4? I don't think he needs to hit 8 wins to be given a third year. He wins less than that and he's going to need a new DC, but I think the only way he gets fired is if he puts up another 5-7.
  3. The Kool-Aid must be in edible form over in SoCal.
  4. Sark went from coaching QBs at El Camino College to head coach at Washington in 9 years. He was 33 when he took that job. That's a meteoric rise to become a Division 1 coach. They went from going 0-12 the year before he took over to 10 wins the year he left. That's a good job for a team that has never been a blueblood. USC was a shit show, but he was fired in the middle of his second season because of his drinking, and he's done every reasonable thing a person can do to rehabilitate himself from that. His track record as a head coach is at best incomplete. I don't know whether he can build a dynasty, but he's a helluva lot better than that asshole we hired from U of H, his offense is miles ahead, and his coaches are much better recruiters. I don't know what your profession is, but I don't know that I'd want to work for you with a take like that based on the fact that he couldn't turn Washington into Alabama in 5 years after Whittington ran it into the ground.
  5. Hey, if we can go from Texas Tech under Kingsbury bad to Texas Tech under Mike Leach bad in two seasons, I can live with that.
  6. Too bad we can't say the same for the defense. I feel better about the o-line next year than I do about outside linebacker(if we miss on the transfer from TCU), inside linebacker, and safety. At least right now we've got some athletes at safety, Bush isn't on the two-deep for OLB, and Luke Brockermeyer may have played his last snap as a Longhorn. With the OL we're at least not depending on addition by subtraction to improve the rotation, as everyone has had a significant role before outside of the RG. Our QBs are still going to get sacked more than they should until we get the freshmen up to speed.
  7. Good. Maybe someday we'll get to see all these mythical "inside zone" RPOs that both Sark and that asshole head coach we hired for U of H are known for.
  8. Whittington has actually said on his Youtube show that he'd gladly play safety if asked.
  9. This guy's greed knows no bounds. Between Watson and James Harden, I'm so sick of diva superstars playing for Houston sports teams. Almost as tired as I am of bad owners running their teams into the ground.
  10. If he were single, maybe. I'm sure Kelsey Patterson isn't much different than mine, in that you can't make more than she can spend.
  11. Hey now, he's a 42 year old with 18 years of experience of being on an NFL sideline with a clipboard. You can't tell me the Cardinals, Lions, Raiders, Dolphins, Panthers, Hartford Colonials, 49ers, Bears, Bucs, Browns, Jets, Eagles, and Texans all got it wrong, can you? He probably knows the best cheap breakfast joint in every NFL city in the country! You can't let a prospect like that go.
  12. Yes, but when you're the QB coach, playcaller, chief recruiter, and your OC is really just coaching the o-line, somebody has to be in the booth telling you what they see on the field and run the QB drills.
  13. Yeah, my wife is a teacher and her sister teaches at an international school in Vietnam. Give any American public school teacher the discipline of a classroom full of students in Japan and they'd gladly work another an extra two months a year. That's like comparing a combat veteran whose done multiple tours in Afghanistan to a member of the aggy band.
  14. Helluva list. Christian's Tailgate also used to have an amazing burger, but I haven't been back since I moved away.
  15. We already had the best freshman WR in the Big 12 and one of the best running backs in the country. One more star player wouldn't have turned it around significantly any more than if Deshaun Watson had suited up for the Texans this year. You can't be better than the middle of the pack in the Big 12 without a decent o-line, something that at least resembles a pass rush, and linebackers and safeties that are at least a threat to do their jobs.
  16. So, basically we win the Big 12 if only we had a stud freshman quarterback? I mean, Baylor and OSU were only the top two teams left standing at the end after. I'll have whatever you're drinking. I guess I should start shopping for hotels for next year's playoff tickets right now. We're going to be unstoppable with all these stud freshmen!
  17. So maybe we beat Kansas and maybe West Virginia. Who cares. I'd rather be 5-7 and hungry than 7-5 and delusional thinking we were better than we are because we forced our stud freshman to play hero ball and destroy his body in the process--just like Herman did with Sam.
  18. Ewers on campus last season doesn't improve our o-line or defense. We would have still sucked and still lost games, just like we did Sam's first year. And unlike Sam, Ewers may have transferred at the end of it when he was no longer the golden boy.
  19. No, it's a combination. There's a reason he wasn't QB1 coming into the season. Casey is who Sark thought he was. However, if you don't have the thumb, he's decent enough to where some of these deficiencies can be game-planned around. But when you've got to take both the throws and reads that he can't make out when he's healthy, and then take another chunk out because of the thumb, you're basically fucked and wishing that Jerrod Heard was still on campus. There's a reason we saw so much Wildcat in the KSU game. None of that stuff is Casey's fault. He wasn't the starter coming into the season. Other than hype from one half against Colorado, he's never been the heir apparent on campus since he came here. Casey played up to his ability, and he's going to have a couple of fine seasons in a less competitive league at his next stop. But he never should have had to play hurt, period. Hudson Card was THAT BAD behind our line.
  20. The dude was playing with a busted thumb and was basically shot-putting half his passes. Casey never should have been out there, but Hudson Card wasn't ready to play behind our tissue-paper o-line.
