  1. It was a 2 for 1, same as they did for Tulane. Maybe he just likes visiting larger cities with "T" schools?
  2. I think it's both this coaching staff's defining win, and something people are overreacting to compared to what it means for the season as a whole. They found a way to win against a talented (unprepared) team even though there were a ton of mistakes. There were something like 75 recruits in attendance, so this was very much a push all in situation that could have cratered their ability to even compete for the next couple of years. Also true is that the run game was uninspiring, zero turnovers caused, and there were receivers free that better offenses would have found.
  3. He's always been someone very keyed into the shifts and calls from the opposing offenses. The debate is whether he's getting that information from in-game and game tape study, or if there's some other extraordinary method ala a Connor Stallions.
  4. I have a cousin that worked with Fay Jones for a while and we got to tour the studio and see the initial drawings for the chapel. It made a huge impression and when my dad got remarried, he did it at Thorncrown.
  5. Also the mushroom powder, I believe. Same effect.
  6. I've seen some fans out there speculating about what it would take to get some of the PIF money from the Saudis. Maybe we let one of their failsons run the show?
  7. You're right though, this is all as meaningful as any other public press announcement.
  8. Technically they do address this: "said if the coaches aren’t fully on board, the player will not be recruited because his staff will not force any players onto the coaching staff who they don’t buy into fully." Whether that's going to be successful in practice...who knows? It certainly isn't successful everywhere in the NFL, and you only have to look for the Cowboys notes in this thread to see how it could go poorly.
  9. Phantom Island just did an episode about this, but coming from the angle of asking if the days of the workaholic coach are falling into the past. With the context we have, it does seem relatively easier to find people who are good at eval, people who are good at gameplan/scheme, people who are good at talent acquisition, and people who are good at talent maximization versus finding 11-15 unicorns who are great at all areas. I'd still pay good money to hear the unvarnished truth about what happend with Thad Turnipseed and the AD's office. It can't have been as simple as "he wanted to build a new basketball arena and they refocused fundraising on NIL."
  10. — Nagy noted that Jaydn Ott is continuing to put on more and more weight, and currently weighs more than he ever has... but he's also faster than he's ever been as well, and the sports science department has helped Ott immensely in packing on that weight while maintaining the burst "And, and he's four inches taller, and his uncle works for Nintendo and he can play the new Mario whenever he wants"
  11. I really need to know what this means: "Just a team that the junk yard has in their peanut right now."
  12. God, I wish. I'm hoping one day to see Brent win a title and say on mic "Who wants to suck an old man's dick?"
  13. This is exactly the issue. OU's staff haven't shown much of an ability to attract top-flight talent at some key positions, and so they're constantly scrambling and overpaying for what they have. This means they're overleveraged on talent with no margin for error.
  14. Oh I never said he was great, just that I don't think he quit on the team. I think once the other WRs started to leave/get more seriously injured, Burks became a higher retention priority than he would have been otherwise. In an ideal roster situation, you're exactly right that he's a depth piece with speed and above average hands that can be a change of pace. Given the reality of the room, he's been treated like a #1, for better or worse. No idea what he's going to look like this year.
  15. This is the only piece I might take slight exception to. He fought to get back on the field after missing seven calendar weeks and got a really nasty concussion near the end of the game he returned. He may or may not be any good this year, but prior to the injuries, he was getting open in front of two QBs that were psychically incapable of staying in the pocket to find an option later in the play.
