Once he lost to Rice, it was clear he was never going to be great. But just to be sure, Mackovic gave him three more starts.

Jayden Daniels is awesome! Coach Bro is a genius! Hail to the Commanders!

Oh shit we are still #1! I did not see that coming. But I will take it. Nah. The pressure is always going to be there. #1 is great for prestige and recruiting and all that good stuff.

It is kind of like a NFL season now. One game at a time.

Well I guess if you are going to fall from #1, only winning by 22 is the best way to do it. And Army and Navy still both sit atop the AAC and thus still on course to a double Army-Navy game.

Well I guess we were going to give up a meaningful TD again at some point. Go make 35-13.

Well I hoped we were no longer the kind of team that had games like this but I guess we are. It's alright. Just get out there and win it guys.

Doomed

They were better than us in the 1920s.

If Ewers can go, he should

Our defense has lost a lot? Our OLine is suspect? Oh no! Doooooomed

I was definitely wrong about some things. I thought Gilbert was going to be good. Sims, Applewhite, Young, Colt, and even Chance Mock were good. Why would Mack and GDGD suddenly not know how to recruit and coach QBs? I will never know. I also was completely caught by surprise when the special teams, in the past a strength, went to total shit seemingly overnight. Nobody could catch a punt in 2010. How can nobody be able to catch a punt? Who saw that coming? I guess CTJ did, I didn't. But not on the deterioration of the offensive line. What drove me nuts about the offensive line is even though this was an obvious problem and obviously the worst position on the team after 2005 Mack did nothing about it and in fact kept talking like there was no problem at all. Even called McWhorter the best coach in the country at one point to my astonishment. At first I had confidence that Mack would fix it but gradually it dawned on me that Mack just wasn't going to do shit until it actually started to make him lose. So I guess in retrospect if he was like that about one part of the team, who knows what else he was slacking on?

The soft label actually comes from long before then. The reputation in the 1980s was "look like Tarzan, play like Jane" and specifically we caught tons of shit for getting run over by a much smaller Air Force team in the Bluebonnet Bowl around 1985 or so. It started to be a big theme again during the five game losing streak to OU prior to 2005.

Well I can't prove anything since I don't have Shaggy around to link to. You clearly know me better than I know myself. But I swear to God we bitched about the offensive line for years, do you think everybody saw the 2009 Big 12 Title game and thought "yeah that looks great"? On in 2007 when Colt had no time to throw against Arkansas State? I do specifically remember Dan Buckner. That dude was such a scrub and I remember how I couldn't figure out how it was he was starting for us.

It was pretty obvious in 2009 (and frankly even going to back to 2007 and 2008) that the lower classmen were not that great. They either weren't talented and/or weren't getting coached. At WR the guys being Shipley were...ok. The drop-off from the early days of Mack at that position was disheartening. The offensive line had been bad from 2006 onwards, though in 2008 they were pretty good at pass blocking. They regressed right back to 2007 form in 2009 though. I was just in horrible anguish about it and wondered why it was happening and it dawned on me we were just going to start losing before trying to address it. I don't think I was alone on having those concerns but Shaggy isn't around anymore to consult. Also I don't know what was going on in recruiting, I don't really follow it that closely. I was just clear on what I was seeing on the field.

Arkansas' first game as a member of the SEC was against The Citadel and they lost. Their first conference game was against South Carolina who was also having their first SEC conference game. So the pigs can fuck off.

Ok so actually we are currently on course for a double Army-Navy Game this year. https://www.westpoint.edu/news/sports-and-entertainment-news/army-football-join-aac-2024

So both Army and Navy look good so far...so what happens if they both finish on top of the AAC standings? Do they just cancel the AAC championship game or would Army and Navy game be played twice on consecutive weekends?

First game since 1940 with no punts and no turnovers and not even any turnovers on downs.

There you go America Ok fair enough. But I haven't had much to be excited about since 2012.

Ok get the onside kick and get out of here.

Daniels made me a believer tonight. He is the guy. This was a huge game for this organization. Sure moving the ball up and down the field and kicking 7 field goals on seven drives against the Giants got my attention, but tonight showed me this dude is going to be special for Washington. Now don't get him injured. Edit: Oh and no punts and no turnovers for the second straight game.

TERRY FUCKING MCLAURIN!! LET'S FUCKING GO!!!

Oh my God, Commanders cannot stop shit. The only reason the Bengals aren't winning is because Joe just misfires sometimes. Kliff Kingsbury must think he is back at Texas Tech.
