  1. Trying to catch up on this thread a day late is like trying to read about a Chinese government blunder a day later. Every tweet and texags post linked here has been completely scrubbed, even the Brent Z tweet about the backup QB disputing his eligibility. The ministry must be working overtime to make this disappear.
  2. This year suggested to me that none of our defensive coaches want to coach pk's scheme...including pk.
  3. The details have been covered here before, but this should catch you up.
  4. Say it with me one more time: they. don't. even. have. a. defensive. coordinator. Out Georgia'ing Georgia is...something.
  5. I haven't paid much attention to aggy's class. I knew it was good, but I was surprised to see that they have 4 of 247s top 10 national players in their class. What is most surprising is that 3 of those players are on defense. Has any school ever signed three of the top 10 players in the country on a side of the ball for which they don't have a staff? I guess I could see Saban doing this on defense, given everyone knows it's Saban's defense, but with aggy the defense is a complete question mark with Elko gone. Those five star out of state guys must have really fallen in love with the spirit of aggyland to have stayed committed even after losing their coordinator. It's really quite something.
  6. He really is perfect for aggy, claiming hypothetical domination of contests in which he didn't participate.
  7. Every year until this one. Jimbo notoriously mismanages this position, and this year some cracks definitely started to show. Not sure they've done anything here to fix that. I know us talking about underperforming oline is ironic after this season, but at least we're making some progress with this class.
  8. There was a great pic this week of Worthy showing Stewart a screenshot of Demas season stats. That guy was considered a can't miss star receiver, and he's done shit in Jimbo's offense. Of all of Stewart's options, aggy makes by far the least sense, unless playing and production are secondary priorities.
  9. I like Stewart. He's an idiot if he signs at aggy given his talent and how they waste wrs, but if he's signing there he's sure as hell milking them for all that he can with these last minute tactics. Can you imagine the dumb money aggy would throw at him to avoid the optics on a five star recruit flipping to Texas on signing day? Either he'll flip to us, or he's making a paycheck play, in which case he might as well leverage their insecurity for every last dollar he can
  10. I appreciate Vance for who he has been to Texas, but if the thought is that adding Gary Patterson to our defensive staff could possibly result in a worse result than what we fielded last season, it's fucking laughable. Sure, you need to set it up well so that everyone knows their role, but if you have significant struggles on one side of the ball and a legit top 10 coach waiting in the wings, you don't say no to avoid a crowded room. If nothing else, Sark has to make this move in case PK starts next season like he ended this one. I know one season is quick to cut a coordinator, but the results were bad enough to suggest you need a safety valve. If he waits two full seasons to replace a failing coordinator hire, he'll be out after three years and we'll be hiring DC number 12 in the last 3 seasons, or something like that.
  11. It was always going to be an uphill battle swaying a talented wr once they're sold on playing in Jimbo's offense. I'm sure the entire recruiting pitch was just watching all 45 seconds of Demas career highlight reel. $ometime$ their pitch ju$t beat$ your pitch.
  12. I mean, I hope we will, but we didn't just go all out to land the #1 qb recruit not to throw the ball.
  13. Real question here, as I'm baffled by what's happening on defense and trying to understand possible reasons. When sark was hired, everyone noted it was fairly unusual that a bunch of defensive coaches were hired before the DC. Do we have defensive coaching staff that wasn't really put together in a complimentary way? I remember this being a big issue with Diaz and Akina...Akina was a great coach but not at all for Diaz scheme. Maybe our issues are more simple, don't have great talent, players aren't executing, scheme isn't great regardless of position coaching, but on paper this should be a good defensive staff. How are we diaz-level bad?
  14. They did a great job of decoying Bijan in the first half when they were dialed in on him. In the second, we just had him run right at them too much, and they were still dialed in. Not sure why we stopped using him to draw their attention and open things up.
  15. It's seven am Morning of Texas ou And ou still sucks
  16. They've always controlled their own destiny, they just run out of destiny.
  17. It legitimately is a bit like the North Korean press announcing a military exercise did not go quite as they planned. Anything less than sunshine means it's a fucking disaster.
  18. I mean, that update from tarp basically reads that way. They have conditions for king coming back and first is better protection. Think about that for a minute...king could be ready to come back, but Fisher tells Calzada they're riding with him until the oline is no longer likely to get the QB hurt. Wow.
  19. Tbh, it wouldn't surprise me if Jimbo actually wants this to happen. This is equivalent to Jimbo punting and running clock late in games so they only lose by 10 instead of 17. It's all about perception. Looch is already peddling that they'd be 5-0 with King. If more players opt out with "injury" it gets easier for Jimbo to keep spinning that at full strength they could've won it all this year. If they lose at full strength, the emporer is exposed. If they lose due to "uncontrollable freak circumstances" it's much easier to spin as bad luck. aggy would rather sabotage their own season if it means they can continue their narrative that the program is on the rise. Next is the year, same as its ever been.
  20. Lincoln Riley's top three reasons for wanting to move to the sec are: 1) Paul Feinbaum, 2) Paul Feinbaum, 3) the racism
