  1. From what I've seen of Tessitore he's always shilling for the underdog. Which means he's always biased against us. He used to be solid years ago with Teddy Atlas calling boxing on ESPN, so he's capable of doing quality calls, but his open bias in games is going to piss off the fans he's biased against. I remember in the Arkansas game he openly yelled out a pig sooey after the only TD we gave up to those chuckle fucks. Then on any of our TDs he just called it generic "Touchdown Texas". We're still early on in this world where the tons of money UT has can actually be legally used to buy players, so we the fans still have mid 2010s mindset. We have to adjust now because we're the boogey man in CFB along with OSU, Oregon, Georgia. We're going to be hated by everyone that isn't one of us. Just have to get used to it.
  2. Saw this, seems like he works for a mortuary company? I don't have an account so can't see his posts
  3. Cecil Cherry was the epitome of a late Mack/Charlie level football program. No balls at all and fake toughness. Then Herman's teams were tough as nails but dumb as a box of rocks and mostly unathletic. Whatever happened to Cecil Cherry?
  4. I think a lot depends on what kind of money is there for basketball at this point. Not much sense in changing coaches if the NIL isn't there for a better coach to start competing next year. If he's back after only winning a few conference games and missing the tournament, I think that signals CDC feels he needs more time to get the money allocated for basketball to get a proper coach and build a team that competes in the suddenly extremely stout SEC. Football is the big money spender, but CDC has also recently gotten the money in to get the expensive Schloss hire in baseball and get that program off the ground. There's no doubt he wants to do the same for basketball, but the question is when will there be enough big money support for the sport to get there. With so many mid tier NIL level schools that make basketball their priority over football, it's quite a bit more expensive than baseball to get up to the top level.
  5. Is it? Right now I don't think it is. It has become very very expensive to field a top level football program in this climate, and I don't think the money is being allocated for basketball right now. Maybe that changes with a new HC, but at the moment it doesn't appear to be there. I'd like to see the numbers on it. I couldn't bring myself to watch this game. I knew what was coming. The season through the UCONN game was all I needed to see to know where this is headed. This is a poorly developed team in every facet.
  6. They'll just want that 38 percent completion percentage because it'll remind them of Ewers throwing more than 15 yds down field.
  7. If he really is that versatile then it makes more sense. I just know Sark likes a "take the top off" speed guy, and that will become a weapon again with Manning at QB. To me you basically get rid of the nonsense by going to this system: -5 years from the day you graduate HS to get a maximum of 5 seasons playing in. No more redshirts, medical redshirts, JUCO nonsense, etc. 5 years is all you get no matter any circumstances. -Everyone gets 1 free no penalty transfer in the portal. Players who graduate college get another free transfer as a grad transfer. Players on teams where the head coach leaves for any reason get a 15 day window from the moment the coach leaves to enter the portal and get a no penalty transfer. Every other transfer sits out 1 year from the date of enrollment in the school. That knocks out a ton of the problems right there.
  8. This would be different for Sark going with so many tall receivers and without a straight burner. That receiver corps would make more sense for this year's team with a QB that's best suited for underneath and intermediate possession receiver throws. Arch has already shown he's a great deep ball thrower. Bond's production in Arch's 3 games was way higher than any of the other games. It may be close to his total production from all the other games combined. Gotta think Sark wants speed coming in to pair with Wingo and Moore. Although this dude would be hilarious to add, especially if he bails on Aggy and becomes a star here next season.
  9. Georgia won the SEC title game but we won the war by destroying their QB and punter. Stockton was ass. We better whip their ass next year with a real QB if they're still trotting out that guy.
  10. I don't get ND hate. They haven't won anything since way before any current player was ever born, and Freeman is a good coach. I definitely want them to knock out Georgia just because fuck Kirby. Stockton isn't ready for this level when he can't just come in and surprise a defense with his run who had never seen him before. We may have lost the SEC title game but we took out Georgia's season in that game.
  11. That's going to be the key on defense. Can we stop the run and get to Howard with a normal front. Their receivers will cook Muhammad and Guilbeau if Howard has time in the pocket or we have to bring up numbers to stop the run. We absolutely have to be able to run on them. We don't run it well and we're cooked unless they just don't show up or have a ton of turnovers.
  12. That's what I was talking about. Bond's g face got hit directly by the safeties' shoulder and facemask. They reviewed it and no call. Those hits were too similar, with Bond being in an even more defenseless position, to call it on Taafe after letting the other one go earlier.
  13. Oregon's defense has been a fraud all season. They gave up over 30 to Boise State for fucks sake. That said, what OSU's defense is doing is elite. Oregon is a crazy good offense. They're doing to the number 1 team in the country what we could and should have done to a much worse ASU early. We're in for a bad time if we don't step the fuck up and play the game of the season next week.
  14. It definitely could have been targeting. But they didn't call a very similar type of contact with the face mask to the helmet earlier in the game against ASU. Would have been absolute robbery if they called it there and they knew it.
  15. They've got a whole different gear they hit after the Michigan debacle. It's going to be a fucker of a time if they're keeping this level of play up. They have to be the overwhelming title favorites at this moment.
  16. This is true. The problem is a great, or at least very good, defense will take that stuff away like Georgia did. If you can't run the ball it's extremely difficult to manufacture offense consistently through the air with nothing but screens, short, and intermediate throws. Oregon is maybe the only defense left in the playoffs we have a definite physical advantage over if we can manage to execute properly. Everyone else is very good to great. The biggest surprise of the game was ASU's undersized front being able to stop our zone scheme running game as consistently as they did. A ridiculous effort from very physically outmatched guys. My hat is off for their performance. Sometimes players can play well above their normal capabilities.
  17. I made my youngest daughter sit right here on the couch and take in the glory or the horror in all of it's visceral, raw, insanity
  18. It was still an exciting game to watch. Frustrating, but exciting. We need to celebrate the win like crazy for the next 8 days. That said, our mulligans of playing mediocre teams in the playoffs is gone. We play like this against Oregon or OSU and we get beaten. Only elite teams left.
  19. Holy shit. That took everyone, Ewers included, stepping up big in OTs. Props to the OL. They raised up another level and just stoned ASU's front 6-7 in OT. No one got near Ewers. Makuba with a play that Barron makes a lot. Knew the route that was coming from film study of formation and down/distance, and made the play like a boss. I don't know how we keep bumblefucking our way to wins, but we do it. Let's celebrate
  20. If we win this game the defense should tie him down and shave his head.
  21. I can't remember the last time I saw a team with a massive talent advantage get off to a big lead then bumblefuck it this badly. This is embarrassing to a whole new level. Charlie was embarrassing because he sucked. Herman was embarrassing because he was a raging jackass. This is embarrassing because it's such a massive waste of talent and advantage.
