  1. That's not how it happened. Bridgewater was committed to Randy Shannon at Miami, but Randy Shannon got fired at the end of the season. Charlie Strong already had a relationship with him and his family and swooped in and poached him.
  2. Closest to my own thoughts right here
  3. 21-27 we needed that score. Offense looked much better and we need to keep on working Ingram in
  4. Yeah our defense is gonna give up points. We need to score. We've left a lot out there
  5. Once again, we are out-physicaling this team. And I know that's not a real word but it should be
  6. Great drive. Great conversion on 4th and 4 and great playcalling/execution by Sam. 14-6
  7. Gonna be a long day if Sam is gonna be inaccurate
  8. I'm gonna miss the first hour or so because of work, so here's a very frustrated Hook 'em! When I tune in I hope we're up 2 scores on those bitches!
  9. Not talked about publicly.
  10. I don't think Stoops coaches again. I think the Mixon thing cost him all his chips.
  11. For half a season he was nails
  12. This point isn't often considered. We're well past the era of Mack players and we're still suffering through a roster full of holes that Charlie left us. He got some headline talent, and that earned him a reputation for fixing Mack's problems. But he recruited unevenly and very poorly, overall. Herman has worked his ass off to plug the holes in the roster and recruit positions more evenly. In the roster thread Machinator demonstrates it pretty clearly. Pity for a man whose parting words were "the cake is baked" for the next coach? Strong was every bit as full of himself as Mack and never once doubted his own abilities, and he obviously believed that he could turn it around in year 4 or 5 in spite of everything. Charlie was no doubt over his head. Many saw that clearly early on. Hell, the writing was on the wall for everyone with eyes to see. The Strong apologists kept their blinders on for a very long time, as evidenced in this thread.
  13. If I was near Santa Clara, I would totally go for $28
  14. Yeah I remember. Saying you hope he actually kills himself is the stupidest thing possible. If it was a joke it's just flat awful. If it was remotely serious seek out a mental health professional immediately.
  15. Absolutely! And I like our chances. I'm just saying that this season has been a pleasant surprise and even if we don't win Saturday, there's room to appreciate a top tier bowl appearance.
  16. I look forward to the day when we grumble about berths in NY6 bowls. But I'm not there yet.
  17. Yeah, fffttt. Another damned Sugar Bowl for us.
  18. Where did his super nice guy reputation come from? Did he have a bunch of meet & greets? This has been going around forever and I've never understood how it came about. I've said it in other threads but the people I know that spent time with him never used the word 'nice' to describe him. He's an alpha dude with an alpha temperament.
