    I don't post on the recruiting board very often, but I am going to make a general statement about recruiting and academics. Poster tend to make comments based on their own personal experiences. I can give examples but will focus on academics.

    Let's say that a highly recruited young man from a small east Texas town takes a visit to OU. He wants to major in business and is serious about getting a good education. He takes a trip to OU and the first thing that the OU coaches do is take him to the academic center where he sees more computers and other devices than he has seen in his entire small town. He sees dozens of tutors working with some of the football players and he is incredibly impressed. 

    Then he meets some of the business professors and they knock his socks off with their business presentations. Then, the coaches take him to meet Michael Price. Sadly, he passed away a couple of years ago, but he was OU's Red McCombs. Price tells him how his OU business education helped him become the huge success that he became. The kid is in awe and comes home and raves about the OU education. Poster laugh at the kid because they are making assumptions based on their own personal experiences and not on the young man's recent experiences.

     

     

    In my personal experience, Columbus is closer to Lafayette than College Station. Advantage, Buckeyes

  2. Texas is either making the playoffs or losing to multiple teams we shouldn't lose to in which OL and EDGE suck while we get fucked over by big 12 refs, which will be the source of many hilariously bad posts on here

    I will give Sark lots of credit for his pre-season press conferences. He's more open than most head coaches and his answers show he's thought through some of the team/org/mental issues and he's not just doing something because that's how he was taught under LaVell Edwards or Norm Chow. Seems like that's a rare trait among football coaches.

    Yeah, but has he referenced Of Mice and Men yet?

    Oh yeah? With this line of thought, I guess you didn’t care when the last site became nothing but scat porn right? No big deal wading through shit. 

    Yes, but, using that metaphor, any individual could choose to block the scat porn that he didn't like. If one were so inclined, that is.

    @ousuxis into something. Interceptions downfield are like punts- who gives a fuck?  go long. Check downs and shuffle (shuttle?) passes are for pussies. 

    I'm almost sold, but I just need to know how we can incorporate pooch interceptions into this scheme

    The unbridled exuberance and optimism juxtaposed to the unrelenting catastrophizing and hand wringing is truly its own reward, but there are a few things I think that are of value:

    1. injury reports
    2. depth chart moves
    3. players who are completely absent in the reports

    Everything else I think is pretty much bullshit zero sum masturbation. 

    @Mitch Cumsteen's posts have been flashing and showing out all over the field when it comes to fall practice reporting. From those who would know, his posts have been more physically impressive and bought in than at any other point in Sark's tenure.

    Gerry has been stating rather clearly for a month that Mack likes UF. That was based on interviewing the guy at his school. I don't see how Mack picking UF is misaligned to that representation. I can't speak for the rest of IT, mostly because I don't really read their updates. For the most part, Nahlin is ignorable. He's not guessing any better than people here, and he's usually more emotionally involved with a recruitment than we are.

    Yes. Likely the coaches decided 1st come, 1st serve and they would be done at 2 for right now. Even though they had Mack higher on the board. So, the dream DB class is down to Wilson, Rubell, and Black. I guess Lair pretty much as a spot right now as well.

    With NIL, it's not about how many you are willing to take, it's about how much you're willing to pay for each subsequent one.

    I'm assuming teams are going to sit in two or three deep safety shells and dare us to march down the field through execution, while counting on a negative play derailing the drive, usually via attacking our interior OL through simulated pressures/games (our interior is the weak link). I think Texas has several great reliable chain movers (Sanders, Whittington, Mitchell) if Ewers can find them accurately who can eventually force defenses to change their strategy

    That was basically Oklahoma's strategy last year. How did that work out for them?
