  1. Yeah I was surprised when he came back in...
  2. Yeah I'm with you. As a fan of the sport in general, it's sad to see. It is quickly becoming impossible for low/mid-tier programs to even have a couple years of success because anytime they find a diamond in the rough, that player is immediately out the door.
  3. My view is that Quinn likely gives us a better chance to win next year but Arch is obviously a longer term guy. Hopefully they both stay but I wouldn't be surprised if either left. Sounds like 1 redshirt year was always in the plan for Arch but 2 on the bench probably wasn't. Then again, hard to guarantee he'd start anywhere else big next year coming in cold and behind the incumbents.
  4. Is it just me or does this Portal cycle seem crazier than last year considering it hasn't even officially opened yet..
  5. Lol at Looch - "Mike Elko had a sales pitch and plan for this place. I would bet a million dollars that he was the most impressive person they talked to because he was knowledgeable of this place and because of who he is." Elko was so impressive that the interviewer Bjork decided to offer Mark Stoops first...
  6. That's the funny thing about sports - the bar keeps moving higher no matter what. Pre-season, we'd all consider this season a major success even if we lose this weekend (I thought we'd get 9 or 10 wins). Objectively, this season already is a success. But still, I'll admit that it may not feel that way if we lose this week.
  7. It's really not that complicated. We aren't jumping Oregon regardless of what we think should happen. Our only chances are: 1. FSU loses and UGA wins - almost definitely in 2. FSU loses and Bama wins - Probably in but could the committee go full-SEC and put UGA and Bama in over us? Tbh it's possible. Hard to leave UGA out and Bama has to jump them. 3. FSU wins and Bama wins - comes down to Texas vs Bama. Pretty much a coin flip what these idiots would decide but I don't feel great about the chances of them completely leaving out the SEC. So yeah - #1 is clearly the best case scenario. The others are all still dicey. Again, this isn't what I think should be the case in a fair world, it's just the reality. Of course, none of this matters if we don't take care of business vs Ok St. Let's worry about that first..
  8. I don't get it, what is he saying cap about?
  9. Give this man a raise damnit! This would suck
  10. 1 million bucks to finish in the top 12. Does ATM know the playoff is expanding next year?
  11. Is Sexton also Stoops' agent? If so that Elko deal had to be a hilarious negotiation. Stoops makes $9m so I assume ATM offered something in that ballpark. Then they reneged and offered Elko, but obviously Sexton would know exactly what they were willing to pay Stoops and would probably be pretty pissed at the stunt they pulled. Plus at that point Sexton/Elko had ALL the leverage. So while normally Elko may have gotten a ~$6m offer from ATM, it's very possible that Sexton was able to push them way higher than that because of the Stoops fiasco.
  12. I mean honestly I would believe it. It's impossible to turn UK into a championship program and at some point in life, making $8mm vs $9mm is probably nothing for these guys
  13. Nebraska DC Tony White went to high school in El Paso. Could make sense for UTEP. Traylor to UH makes too much sense. Although Fritz would be a strong hire too. If UCLA moves on I wonder if Fisch could end up there.
  14. What's sad about all this is that we'll never know how much money they were going to pay Stoops. He was already making $9mm at UK..
  15. IHOP?
  16. He can get an NFL HC job. Probably could've last year. And he's an NFL guy. He ain't taking a college job
  17. We aren't passing a 1-loss Oregon team. They're already ahead of us, just beat Oregon St (vs Tech for us), and would have to beat UW (vs OK ST for us). Committee isn't going to jump them based on this week and next if both win. I think our two realistic paths are 1) Bama beats UGA. Still very uncertain if we'd stay ahead of Bama even though we should, or 2) FSU loses to UF or Louisville. Highly likely we would jump them in that scenario. There's also potential 1-loss conference losers in play - would we definitely be ahead of 1-loss UGA, Washington, or even tOSU? UW would have a case considering they beat Oregon earlier and hard to leave out double defending-champ UGA. It'd be messed up if any of these teams went ahead of us but you never know..
  18. Surly has a serious challenge grasping the concept of players getting better year over year. Maybe fair bc of the Herman era but still, it's funny. Obv that doesn't mean he's guaranteed to get better but you'd expect him to. Same with other positions.
  19. I think best case scenario is QE to come back and Arch takes all the 2nd team reps all next year. That gives us the best chance next year but also get Arch some important development. Of course MM might have a say in that but if the coaches think Arch is the future, he needs to get all those 2nd reps. Also, lol at thinking Quinn "is who he is" at this point. He's a sophomore. QBs get better well into their pro years. QE has been much better this year and I'd expect continued improvement next year.
  20. It was interesting that Catalon came into the game in 4Q yesterday. I didn't see him during the first 3 quarters. So I guess he's healthy enough to play but they're just not confident in him? Surprising
  21. Connor will still be here too. Hutson may be the C
  22. This is where I'm glad I'm not a ref. Idk man
  23. I mean that doesn't mean Blue is a good teammate / locker room guy. Maybe he is now, I have no clue, just saying it's not necessarily the same thing. Speaking of which, if Brooks comes back I wonder if Blue sticks around..
  24. Does this game matter for our playoff chances? Could the committee possible put the loser ahead of us assuming we win next week? Let's not pick on other teams for their QB's long-ball accuracy lol
  25. Credit to Looch for calling a spade a spade regarding Ryan Day (and sorta with Deboer). Straight up saying the Day rumors are ridiculous and Day hasn't actually shown interest
