  1. The fucking ref threw his hat down. How is that forgotten about during the replay only minutes later?
  2. Any word on Jacoby Jones? I felt our run defense and overall defensive front went to absolute shit after he went out. Brooks did most of his work off tackle where Jones is usually positioned.
  3. I went ahead and put money on it when we were on our transfer shopping spree during the spring. I think I had 15-1 odds at the time.
  4. Not sure but Texas Ex and former UT basketball player Carlton Dixon's company outfitted the entire team for their pregame suits.
  5. This and the fact that Reece threw out the "We didn't instruct them to say SEC" makes me believe that they absolutely directed the crowd to chant SEC.
  6. You aint lying. That shit took me by surprised. I fooled myself into believing our fans would have enough pride not to resort to that crap.
  7. No doubt but Ohio as a state takes high school football much more seriously than Michigan which results in a large disparity in the number of D1 players that come from each state. Typically Ohio outpaces Michigan in D1 signees at a 2:1 ratio. So while their populations are similar their football production is significantly different. A more severe example of the same phenomenon happens in the Northeast. The state of New York is much more populous than New Jersey, but New Jersey produces twice as many D1 signees for similar reasons.
  8. Part of the reason for Michigan's recent struggles is their failure to recruit Ohio as they well as they once did. Guys like Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson are from Ohio. Additionally, Ohio has about 2 million more people than Michigan.
  9. LVE at least fills the right gap and is the place he's supposed to be. Honestly LVE might be back next year.
  10. He filled the wrong hole. Jaylon's biggest issue was he frequently missed assignments. It's one thing to be physically lacking but you simply can't have a MLB who routinely fills confuses his responsibilities and doesn't have the athleticism to makeup for it.
  11. Yep and he's modified the running scheme a bit as well instead of trying to force the issue of what he prefers.
  12. Looked like he was running on a conveyor belt moving forward while everyone else was running on solid ground.
  13. Man, I'm listening to David Moore detail the La'el Collins series of events to Robert Wilonsky on Intentional Grounding and I'm fucking amazed at how much of an absolute dumb fuck Collins is. Negotiations between the league and Collins have been going on for at least 6 months now As has been reported, Collins tried to bribe the sample taker. Collins reps say it was a joke. Claiming he never tested positive so why would he bribe the sample taker with any level of seriousness Negotiations with the league eventually brought the suspension down from as many as 5 games, down to 3, and then ultimately settling all the way down to 2. Collins, being the ignoramus that he is, took this bit of lagniappe as a sign and attempted to double down on it. With the logic being that the grace displayed by league negotiators betrayed an admission that their argument was flawed. So it was actually Collins and his team who took the case to arbitration, believing that the suspension would evaporate into thin air leaving the public none the wiser. Fast forward to arbitration (which was purposely delayed by Collins' team to ensure that he played in game 1 against Tampa) and the arbitrator is shocked that, given the evidence, the NFL knocked down his suspension to 2 games. Disgusted, he rescinded the negotiated terms of 2 games and reinvoked the 5 game suspension. And to top it off, had Collins actually tested positive he wouldn't have even been suspended in the first place. The only penalty is a fine. FUCKING DUMB ASS!!!
  14. Kendall Sanders was a high level receiver in terms of his skillset and he had a chance to eventually become NFL quality. I forget what happened exactly but weren't they ultimately vindicated in the end. And I don't just mean they were found not guilty, but the actual chick admitting to lying.
  15. The decision to revert to Knute Rockne's playbook didn't do him any favors either.
  16. I saw it as a contrived attempt to be seen as even handed. And it's clearly forced.
  17. I think people (even the players on the field) forget how much subjectivity goes into deciding who to play. This ain't the SAT with hard and fast metrics determining your standing in an assortment of categories. Sure, sometimes some decisions are obvious, but frequently they are determined on the margins and something seemingly small provides the difference between the starter and the backup. From a player's perspective that may seem like politics, but in reality it's just part of the vast swath of gray that comes with most of the decisions we make as human beings.
  18. Sark said it himself during yesterday's press conference. Paraphrasing he said something along the lines of "it doesn't matter how much better someone executes the play called if another player moves the team much more consistently down the field". That tells me that Card consistently graded out better in practice when it came to doing things the called play asked him to do, be it progressing through reads, or throwing to the correct WR on a given play. However, if that level of execution doesn't translate to the gameday field then it's much to do about nothing.
  19. Exactly! I'm so sick of this shit. Everytime an SEC team beats a team from another it's as though it's a referendum on the greatness of SEC. If they lose you never hear about it again. Every game broadcast with an SEC team in it is a constant barrage of branding. This is SEC football. Their playing SEC defense. That SEC speed. You're left feeling like you're watching a fucking infomercial. I don't care that we're going to that conference. This shit is ruining college football. Regionalizing the sport further and further.
  20. I honestly don't believe Card is a poor or incapable scrambler (if anything, prior to these past 2 games most of us believed Card often gave up on the pocket too early). Card's issue seems to be due to his lack of experience and his resulting indecisiveness because of it. He hesitates and overthinks everything, when and where to scramble as well and when to sling it. Building up his instincts at the position is going to take some time. I don't follow recruiting as closely as some, but didn't he only play a one game his sophomore year, the entire season his junior year, and then part of his senior year of high school?
  21. Not necessarily. Sark's background as a QB coach (and as a result over emphasizing Card's skillset alone) probably explains why he didn't take into sufficient enough account how atrocious our Oline play is when making that decision.

    Man you can go all the way back to Woody Hayes. They have never wandered around in the wilderness for a decade like we've routinely done over the past 40 years.

    If that's the case why do schools like Ohio St consistently have success regardless of who they hire at HC? You'd think by just random chance they'd fuck up a hire every now and then, but they consistently fall ass backwards into head coaches who can consistently muster 10 wins seasons multiple times throughout their stay in Columbus.
