Having @BurntOrange&White and @Hookem2147 in the Jimbo 2023 thread debate the merits of Urban Meyer as Sark's replacement in an apparent grudge match ofwho can make the dumbest possible argument while Sark being replaced won't even come up for at least another 2 years at which time Urban Meyer will most likely not be a real candidate is peak Surly. All I can say is both of you absolutely belong here.

This hits the nail on the head. They have deep cultural issues that go way above the team principal. Unless a new TP could come in and make drastic changes to fix that, it won’t really matter who the new guy is, and that’s not happening because part of the cultural issue is they won’t hire someone who will come in and make sweeping changes. Having said all that, I do think Binotto isn’t a good team principal. He’s an excellent engineer and a great Chief Technical Officer, but nothing about his background or performance in this role says he knows to manage an entire team. I’m not sure Vasseur is all that great of a TP either.

Speaking of your other forums, how's @NowThis doing these days?

Max is such a selfish dick lol

Our secondary just isn’t coached well enough to be able to run this much quarters. Safety bites in the out when he needed to stay deep to receive the outside receiver while the CB switched to the out. KSU killed us with quarters beaters last game too.

That was such a pathetic play by DTD. Just drifted inside for no reason at all.

Basically, I think they delete multiple times, depending on the severity but they also usually set more times than in an F1 quali, so I think deleting the best lap time would be fair.

JFC. Leclerc the only one out on Inters to start Q3 while it’s completely dry. Now Russell beaches his car and it’s red flagged. If it keeps raining Leclerc will qualify P10. Ferrari always inventing new ways to fuck up and screw Leclerc over. Also F1 needs to adopt the IndyCar rule for a crash in quali. No way Russel should get to qualify P3 after ruining the session.

Not a single mention of Choate or PK anywhere in that post.

Goatifi with 11 straight sessions not making it out of Q1. The man is trying to set records on his way out of the sport.

Yeah, it’s unfortunate that our perimeter shooting doesn’t look to have improved, which makes sense with the personnel losses and additions, but us actually pushing in transition could be a huge boon to the offense. Being a poor shooting team AND refusing to ever push are why our offense would go so long without scoring. Id prefer to have a good shooting team, but since Beard clearly prioritizes other traits, we can at least get some easy points and prevent long draughts through pushing the ball.

Not nearly enough squid emojis used for me to believe this.

Hey, winning even one game in Omaha is legendary for aggy standards.

Personally I’m rooting for 5-7.It’s bad enough to kill the outside perception but good enough for all those desperate Ags to talk themselves back into believing in Jimbo. I want Jimbo to dry at A&M as long as possible. This is like his stint at FSU if he stayed four years longer and never won the title. I never understand people who say this. There’s no amount of difficulty aggy can conjure up that will make Jimbo leave for anything less than his full contract amount. He holds all the cards, not the other way around. Exactly. If I’m Jimbo, I continue to burn the program to the ground and get them to pay even more than the guaranteed amount to leave early. This is aggy after all, they are the unquestioned number one at negotiating against themselves. Sexton might be able to just sit at the table in silence and walk out with $120 million.

It definitely feels like there’s plays that we should check out of, but we don’t. Not sure how much falls on Sark versus Ewers.

The NCCA has waived that rule for the past two years and even before when it was a rule, it was easy to circumvent. In other words, DONT WORRY ABOUT THE MOTHERFUCKING NUMBERS!

He’s been below average in 1 of his last 3 games. Clamoring for Card is unbelievably dumb and clearly just idolizing the backup QB.

This is just flat out wrong. We generally get killed when we play man. We’ve been better in zone than man over the course of the year. KSU was one of the few exceptions.

Just another Tuesday in Steiner Ranch.

This is nonsense. They definitely ran some zone beaters but those plays can still be covered if your defense is well-coached and knows how to execute. It’s also not as simple as flooding a zone. There are plenty of different types of zone coverage calls that can counter a simple flood. Our problem is poor coaching/poor player recognition, not that certain play calls are just unstoppable in zone. Our defense is 90th in EPA on pad plays and our EPA MARGIN IS 79th on defense. This seems a lot more like what we’ve been watching most weeks than the FEI/SP+ rankings that have us around 25th. I believe the EPA numbers above are unadjusted, but it still seems like those are closer to how we’re playing. Also interesting that our D is 8th in the country in not giving up firsts on 1st or 2nd Don, while TCU’s O is 6th in the country on early down EPA. I think we’ll force them into way more 3rd downs than they’re used to. Whether we can actually get stops is a different question.

Seriously, he just said “now that the playing field has been leveled and we can’t get ahead by cheating anymore, I’m going to quit following recruiting and the sport is ruined for me.”

We need more posts like this from the Ags. This is monumentally stupid reasoning even for aggy. The locker room is falling apart, players are quitting, transferring and decommitting in-season, yet they need to keep Jimbo so the locker room doesn’t implode. But hey, whatever they have to tell themselves to fight to keep Jimbo is a brilliant idea in my book.

I was impressed with how dumb your first post seemed, but then you come in with this and totally blow the first post out of the water. Bravo sir, bravo.

Disu is looking really good, which is the biggest thing I wanted to see. We need him to be back to his Vandy form to reach our ceiling.
