  1. When to retire?
  2. Short of an unprecedented meltdown where we win only a couple, Herman is our coach next year, so that is at least how long he will get. (Sadly, I am not sure he gets fired at 4-8 without some off-field issue.) He may win enough to get beyond year 3 and at that point we don't know who will be on the field or who will be the OC. Without added conditions, I think it is possible that a Cam Rising or Roschon Johnson could lead a future Herman coached team to a title, so I while I am not confident in Herman himself, I won't definitively say he can't win a title here.
  3. So let's flip the script, at what point will you call out Herman? What does he have to fail to do before you will want him gone?
  4. Check out www.shaggytexas.com.

    1-5

    mulletpellini's 3-3 forecast for us now seems like a best-case scenario...
  6. It is hard to believe that James Franklin still hasn't won as many games against ranked opponents at PSU after 5 years than Strong did in his 3 shitastic seasons here...Strong also still has a better winning percentage against ranked teams.
  7. Sadly, I was in the Briles camp when Mack was fired. Briles seemed like the best pick when the other choices on the table seemed to be Strong, Franklin, and Mora. I don't think Mora and Franklin would have lasted any longer than Strong.
  8. I think CDC could get his honeymoon hire here and he won't have trouble dangling the job in front of guys who think they can do it better than Herman. I don't think it would be a hard sell for him to tell prospective candidates that Herman wasn't his hire and I am sure he will offer the coin and guarantees to prove it. The bigger question might be whether the big donors have given up on Herman and are willing to pony up for a change. Are Perrin's buddies in Houston ready to admit their coup was failed and fork over more cash so CDC can actually conduct a coaching search without their meddling?
  9. So no one asked if Steinbeck also liked to go to titters?
  10. These are sorts of profiles we should be looking for. Guys who understand the grind of a P5 schedule. There are too many gimmes in the G5 conferences. With our schedule you get one mediocre team in OOC and we don't even put that one at the beginning to give us a chance at even a tiny sliver of momentum. Everything else is a losable game. Even Kansas has players that can beat you or at least take their pound of flesh that leaves your team hurting the next week. It is better a coach that understands that dynamic even if they are losing some games because their try-hards can't regularly overcome the teams with legit talent. The problem of course is finding the right guy among the possibilities.
  11. He gone. I didn't even get to use all my negs...
  12. Don't get our hope up that Dickson returned...This is The Punter 2: Electric Digirdoo-galoo. The original story would have been better if Herman called him "The Punter" because he couldn't pronounce Bujcevski. Though I wonder what Herman would have called him if his nickname were 'Titter' instead of 'Dicko'?
  13. Wait, you mean to tell me that fucking sheep, sharing a jar to jizz into, and making bitches fake army generals hasn't caught on? Ah, but you forgot about promising not to lie, cheat, and steal but doing it anyway! Everybody does that now!
  14. Looked like Tarzan, played like Mary.
  15. In Italian 'sawing 'em off' means to jerk off. Aggy really likes group masturbation.
  16. Probably depends on what the prosecutors and judges decided...
  17. Remember the Golden Rule of Recruiting: You pick the school, not the coach. I am pretty sure Santino felt very comfortable in aggyland.
  18. Is this a Candi joke gone awry?
  19. That is a ridiculous amount! I was paying about $120 for internet and cable when I cut about 5 years ago. Just getting internet ended up being about $85 a month, so by the time I added Netflix, Hulu and Sling, I was paying more for less content. The only way the finances really work in that situation is to be on the ball and cancel when you aren't watching. If I cancelled Sling after college basketball ended and re-subscribed in the fall I would save money overall. I also found I binged watched stuff on Netflix and Hulu and then would go months without really watching anything on one or the other while still forking over money. I finally went back to the bundle this year. I'll see if the total cost has gone up once the initial $99 bundle deal is over.
  20. The number doesn't matter at this point. The more games, the more chance to catch a game during the holidays. I would make one rule change and that would be to allow non-bowl teams the same amount of extra practice that bowl teams get. The worst teams need the extra practice more than the good and great teams... The main thing I hate about the current bowl season is that too many fans think those games matter. I am tired of whining about draft-eligible players not playing or about games where one team obviously doesn't give a shit. Outside of the playoffs these are exhibitions. If you want to exchange more football for the prestige of getting a very limited number of bowl invites, then accept that some coaching staffs don't give a damn (maybe even your own school's) about a potentially meaningless game. For Texas last season, the bowl game was very important for morale, but this year Herman may not see a bowl game (in the unlikely event we don't make the playoffs, show me a loss) as having the same symbolic value and we may not see our best game on the field. The new redshirt rules will also likely see the quality of play decline as some teams will throw their freshmen out there in droves to get them some action and see how they perform under the lights.
  21. Karen has probably put her ass on the table claiming it a tight end.
  22. I would rather pay Seastrunk and his mom 30K and let Lyles stock liquor at Specks. It is worse when some shady hanger on gets the proceeds not the player. I lean towards the 'turn 'em end' side of the spectrum, but the NCAA itself is unadulterated garbage, so I guess do what you need to do but be discrete.
  23. Of course Saban doesn't tolerate boosters. He hired Tosh Lupoi to make sure the boosters/bagmen pay up.
  24. Wait...a nuclear bomb hit State College and wiped out all of Central Pennsylvania?!? How the fuck did I miss that?
