  1. Just agreeing with you and trying to shoot down any hopes to the contrary. Didn’t mean to suggest you thought it might happen.
  2. Interesting. Well, Fat Dog was once highly regarded, too. People get lazy. But you’re right, Ausmus may be a scapegoat. Who knows. Another guy I thought of is Andrew Swazay (I’m probably misspelling his name) whose wife is from nearby copperas cove. Swazay is highly regarded by former players who he coached at Miami. He got canned by Richt because Richt is a buffoon. Former players in the league still go back to train with him. I’d take him in a heartbeat.
  3. My personal guess is Sark could bring Cochran’s top assistant. Cochran came from LSU. Moffitt turned Saban down but told him to take Cochran. That could happen here. I was also given the name Aaron Ausmus, who apparently worked at USC under Carrol. I was told Ausmus is pretty legit. That was just a suggestion as to who Sark might target. No inside info, other than my guy was relatively deep in the Major D1 S&C world and knows names.
  4. Do we know if he was legitimately looking at stoops, or was he or stoops floating stoops’s name to get other schools to show interest?
  5. I have some pretty strong sources on Moffitt. His wife is from BR and the only place they’d ever consider leaving for would have been Texas back when Will was HCIW. The wives and coaches are best friends. No Muschamp means no Moffitt.
  6. Fuck Brian Davis he’s a fucking hack.
  7. This. Fuck squid.
  8. I always go to bed right before shit goes down.
  9. Sounds like the type of thing she said before she ripped off a bunch of old thirsty men... Kidding. I barely remember that episode, but the guys who got taken to the cleaners will never forget it. It was near the end of my OB days. It was a months-long saga. Wish I remembered the details better. I’m hoping closetohumping will give us a better cliffs than I was able to produce.
  10. CTH can probably give you a better run down than I can, but I remember there was this chick on there who befriended several posters. They eventually started meeting for happy hours and posting pics of themselves out drinking. Next thing you know, she disappears and criminal charges are being filed on her for theft and maybe some fraudulent use of identifying information.
  11. She didn’t take you for any money, did she?
  12. Yes. I had forgotten about that. That shit was nuts.
  13. Agreed.
  14. That’s fair, but my point is that there wasn’t a search. It was knee-jerk. At the time, I probably gave the hire a 7. I didn’t like the losses to Navy and SMU, and the kissing was fucking weird. He called in to radio shows to argue about their takes, too. Weird and unprofessional. There were red flags. No vetting was done other than watching him win games against big-name schools. We never considered the alternatives (which I admit were few). I didn’t love the hire, but I was certain he’d be better than Charlie (duh). I didn’t think there were many qualified alternatives at the time, but I’d have liked there to have been a vetting process before pulling the trigger at the last second because we had to. Missing on Rhule sucked. There were certainly no sure things available, though. There was no Urban. This process has been different and the circumstances are different, I’ll agree. I don’t think we need to freak out, though. Not yet. Our infrastructure is much more football-friendly and competent than it was in the post-Mack era. If CDC fucks it up, I probably still won’t freak out. I’ll just advocate for his firing. I don’t think he’ll fuck it up, though.
  15. I haven’t read the thread since about 10:00 last night. I’m not going to try to catch up. I’ve seen what’s being reported by CTJ, et al, and I don’t even want to know the meltdown that’s probably only in its infancy. I’ll just say this: This shit is messy. If you fire Tom, you put yourself in the position of having to fill the spot RIGHT NOW. That’s what got us Charlie and Tom. I’m perfectly content with how it’s going. CDC is being methodical and he’s not willing to mortgage our future on another gamble. He’ll either stick with the gamble he has (Tom), which I don’t think will ultimately happen, or he’ll find as close to a sure thing as possible. Even if our worst case scenario happens (Tom stays), we will have our kids in the second year of the same system, hopefully with a spring and fall camp. Our defense should be filthy with a real year of preparation. Our offense might even get better, especially at QB. Maybe we get a new OL coach with a brain and everything gets better. Who knows? Things aren’t good right now, but we’re a hell of a lot better off than we were under Charlie. It’s not dumpster fire time, yet. We can be patient if the final result is the best possible result. Until we know that result, temper tantrums will only make things worse. Obviously, I’m choosing to trust CDC. The fact that he’s not making knee-jerk, purely emotional decisions should encourage all of us. Go find something to be thankful for. All will end well.

  17. Ditto
  18. I’m sure you’re a good guy, but fuck California.
  19. This. More of this.
  20. Motherfucking fuck this dream-killing mother fucker. IT’S TOO LATE. I’M ALL IN. URBAN OR BUST!
  21. When you compare this scenario to when Urban went to tOSU, the similarities get more and more similar. The biggest difference is that he and Shelly flat out denied that they were going to Columbus. He must’ve felt guilty about lying, because the guy has made no such declaration this time around. THIS SHIT IS HAPPENING
  22. I’m like a battered girlfriend. He says the right things, and I come back for more.
  23. No Texan would use the word, “cola,” unless quoting a yankee halfwit. Not only are all “colas” cokes, but damn near any non-alcoholic carbonated beverage is a coke. It’s like jello, kleenex or xerox. It’s a generic term to describe an entire subset of similar products. Fucking “cola...”
