  1. If he gets fired, it'll be "for cause", but probably kept internal and promulgated as "mutually agreed". He'd get a few million to help him get by and keep his mouth shut. He's busting his ass trying to MackBrown his way into the Rose Bowl CFP. Maybe he can do it, and more power to him.
  2. Insightful. DM Del Conte.
  3. Life experience. You wouldn't believe the trouble you can get in by removing the wooden micro-pallet from the bottom of the mini-fridge in your hotel room and leveling the damn thing so you can actually hear yourself think.
  4. There's a whole sloppy thread about how to get into the Group of Twelve with three losses. Yes, it's possible, albeit with extremely low probability. The point here is being ready to play after - let's see: 8 months, two weeks, and two weeks - of time to actually get ready. We weren't, all three times. The stories of personal problems, rehab(s), benders would seem to explain the lack of preparation. If true, it seems entirely reasonable to suppose that CDC has kompromat on Sarkisian sufficient to cover "for cause" firing, if it comes to that. My thought is that Del Conte believes reasonably-sober Steve can helm a winning program, and that he believes Steve can manage his problems. I agree that it's possible, and I think CDC and Sark have had that come-to-Jesus talk, and that it led to a list of achievements required... what we're seeing right now, with Sark advocating tirelessly for that CFP slot, is the result of that meeting and those trquirements. Here's hoping it all works out for all concerned... including us.
  5. It's exactly that simple. Getting into the show with three losses is only possible in extremely rare circumstances, which, as it happened, didn't occur. Not losing the third game, and especially to Florida is the way in. Substituting someone else for Florida is pointless, but you just keep on pointing.
  6. If? If? What if? Why, yes. as a matter of fact conjecture, we are. If we beat UGa...
  7. No. The tOSU game is not the problem. The UGa game is only part of the problem. The Florida game is the problem. Losing inexplicably to asswater is the problem, and the thread title spells it out for you: This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
  8. Damn, it's embarrassing to have so many people going on and on and on about being penalized for playing - and losing - a big-time OOC game. If anything, we in fact get plus marks for playing tOSU closer than their other 11 games. No, get the fuck outta here with that "OOC big-game loss keeping us out of the champeenships" bullshit. What keeps us out is the other two losses. Most of all, Florida. That was pathetic... actually, it was asswater, am I right? Yes, I fucking am. How the fuck do you come off a bye, with a full extra week to prepare, and lose to Florida? What the fuck was the coaching staff, from the top down, doing for those two weeks? It damn sure wasn't preparing for Florida. Fuck me. After Florida, we knew, absofuckinglutely knew, we had to win out... at least to the point of being in the CCG, with a pretty-much guaranteed CFP berth there, win or lose. Beating UGa was a requirement. Again, we came off a bye, and again we were unready, outplayed, and outcoached. Coffin, meet nail. One last time: losing to tOSU didn't put us out of the CFP. Losing to UGa didn't put us out of the CFP, even though it was the proverbial Last Straw. Nope. What put us out of the CFP was being humiliated by a team that was ready to - and did - fire their HC. Asswater.
  9. This is not entirely true. It sounds good, but it's wrong. I - and I think most of us - have paid for things and not gotten them. Tex Long's First Rule of Finance is "You don't get what you don't pay for." Like the original version, it's not universally so, because sometimes you do get what you do or don't pay for... but the far greater occurrence is ... "Nah, you ain't gettin' it." Thinking that you'll definitely get what you pay for... Bad Idea™. DM Jimbo
  10. Great job, great result.
  11. 3 1/2 safeties works: 12-10 works. No mercy.
  12. Three safeties. 12-10. Watch this.
  13. Four safeties and a dominant D, we win 11-10.
  14. Yeah, same here. Why is she wearing that skirt sideways?
  15. Watching Ioway and Nebarska in the blowing sleety snow. Good game for the first half, anyway. Seeing Holgorsen working with Neb QB, it occurs to me that Sark needs to go the same route, leave HC job and get back to purely offense. Kiffin could probably use some help at LSU...
