  1. I think White Chocolate is more of a niche role player rather than a WR1 type. He doesn't seem to get enough separation in short passing situations.
  2. Alright, I'm not going to pile on. Just keep in mind that Mosely only played in 8 games due to preseason injury and put up solid numbers for a guy who is still learning the offense. He also seemed like the only WR who didn't drop passes against UGA. I'll just say that your take about the WR room as a whole is understandable, but that I vehemently disagree about Mosley specifically. Nature is healing.
  3. Sounds like BYU came to him with a number that we wouldn't match, along with guaranteed starter reps that we wouldn't match. It's a shame, but I get it. That room has some serious young talent and Lefau had some rough spots this season.
  4. I want to hear your justifications for this comically bad take.
  5. He talked the talk but never really walked the walk. I think about Whittington putting in years of work without it really showing up in his stat lines - he was always out there blocking, picking up short, hard yards when we needed them, keeping everyone focused on the sidelines, all while only catching 1 TD in 2022 and 1 more in 2023. Barely cracked 1000 yards between those two seasons. But you knew that Whittington was a core component of that offense. It was on big plays, like the FF off the pick against TCU in '23, but more so it was the little plays every game. I didn't see anything like that from Moore. He had good press conferences and I'm sure he said the right things to the staff, but you did not see him put in the work like Whittington.
  6. Any chance we kick the tires on this kid or are we holding out for Baugh / something bigger?
  7. I miss those times when we were arguing about Big Red and which is The Knack's best song.
  8. I'm fairly certain they're talking about getting rid of Akina. He is unpopular with the players.
  9. Dude looks like he’s in his 10th trimester
  10. I agree with the sentiment, but you're tilting at windmills. Digressions about food, music, movies, travel, EDC, etc. are just part of the ecosystem here. We'll get back on topic when things start happening but there's no harm in them for now. That's where politics differ - that will turn a thread into an unbearable shitshow very quickly. Just arguing about what's "politics" and what isn't can chap people's asses. Food and music arguments are harmless fun that can be tamped down easily, but political differences turn bloody. Plus, politics is pervasive across the internet and you can easily talk about that shit just about anywhere. Although there are food and EDC forums, the aren't nearly as active or as readily available. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that this shit is harmless in a way that politics isn't. Negged. Fuck all the way off with this shit, newguy.
  11. It's always okay to drink soda with liquor. That's actually another knock against Big Red - it doesn't go with any kind of booze. Except maybe vodka, but vodka goes with everything so that doesn't really count.
  12. 1. All soda is for children, who don't give a shit about their teeth or caloric intake. Any man of advancing years who still drinks soda is not taking his health seriously. 2. That said, Jarritos are amazing and Piña is a guilty pleasure I'll drink sometimes on a hot day. I'm assuming most people have some fruity or sweet soda that they drink rarely. 3. Among the pantheon of fruity sodas, Big Red is uniquely bad. It's a really unfortunate combinations flavors and the red die stains everything, including your lips. I'll admit that drinking it was a salty, savory meal (like BBQ) improves the flavor and makes it better, but I cannot understand anyone wanting to drink it by itself on a regular basis.
  13. Well shit I hope the staff isn't pointing those things out to him.
  14. They have got to be playing up the whole "Well that's what they told Cam Williams too and look what happened" angle of things.
  15. That is a fair point. I find Big Red disgusting by itself, but it absolutely slaps with some BBQ. Especially if the BBQ is decent but not great, like Rudy's.
  16. Nah, that post was 100% the type of shit that Gabe would have said. Although he would have quoted Donne correctly. Do people unironically like Big Red? Really? That's a children's drink. Has nothing to do with being woke. Prosecutors from Texas to Maine prosecute for everything imaginable and then plea down to what's reasonable. Has nothing to do with race, politics, whatever. See, now this is a lawyerly answer.
  17. I don't want to mix up my arguments, so I'll be clear and say that I don't see a 3-loss season as acceptable. Yeah, we play in a tough conference with a difficult OOC, but that's what the money is for. All the games are winnable for us, and losing three winnable games in a season is not the standard. That's especially true if the losses are not explainable by injury or some other bad luck. But I'm not arguing about what's acceptable, I'm arguing about what I think CDC and the administration consider worth firing Sark over. To fire Sark, you're going to have to make your case to a lot of people and you're going to have to deal with the fall out of that decision. Think about every program that fired a coach because he was good, but not quite good enough. If the next guy isn't even better, then you look like an idiot. We're talking about a lot of careers and reputations. There are practical and human components to this, and it has very little to do with what is acceptable. Consider all of the potential fallout that can come from firing Sark and missing on the next hire. All because the dude went 9-3. That is a tough row to hoe, and I don't see any of the people in power being willing to take responsibility if it goes sideways. That being said - people do unreasonable things and I can't see the future. Maybe Kyle Shanahan calls up CDC and says he wants the job. Anything can happen. But all other things being equal, I don't see us firing Sark for going 9-3 in 2026. Mostly because I don't see a group of well educated professionals collectively making a decision that, on its face, seems very hard to justify and carries a significant amount of potential blowback.
  18. I would welcome Choater the Goater back with open arms.
