  1. Maybe, but I’m more talking about the cumulative bullshit of the last 4 weeks. Goes waaaaaaaaaay beyond the game threads. Or have you not read the “Sark to the NFL” thread?
  2. I like to think of myself as a patient person, but the last three weeks - during which we have not lost a game - has done more to engender my hatred for half the people on this site than the entire firs four seasons of Sark’s tenure. I’m an emotionally stunted retard and even I can see that y’all can’t process anything that doesn’t pass through your angry emotional filters. Sark and PK played this game exactly how you are supposed to. That’s what made the officiating so egregious. Also, Gilbeau to too dumb to play DB. Fire Akins for playing him, I guess? but you morons who are still complaining despite Sark and Manning’s having one their best games of the season need to go. The fuck. Away.
  3. Fucking stupid posts. Ref ball kept this from being an absolute blowout. Or did y’all want Sark to air it out with a multiscore lead and only 5 minutes left in the game?
  4. Get fucked @Wilcox Cummingtonite you pathetic waste of skin. Go root for Oklahoma.
  5. Wow. A holding call.
  6. With the PI too. Fuck em.
  7. My optimism levels are dangerously uncautious right now. If I hope too much we’ll lose.
  8. 1) Stroh and Brooks are pretty big 2) Even calling them “speed bumps” is an insult to speed bumps
  9. Damn, Arch took that hit like a champ
  10. Sark is finally doing what we’d all hoped he would - call plays for the team he has, not the team he wants.
  11. He’s been insufferable since the UK game. Broken brain, may have legitimate mental illness.
  12. We're talking about a test that was developed and administered by doctors, subject to scrutiny by the football program and the player's family. You are talking about a cop watching you spell the alphabet backwards while he was probably thinking "is this guy so drunk that I'm willing to deal with the paperwork?" I just don't think the concerns you have about field sobriety tests translate. Also, don't drink and drive.
  13. I think the offense that Vandy runs is the kind of offense that PK is good at stopping. He really struggles with a Briles-style offense (like what Lebby runs at MSU), but the offenses that rely on ball control and being efficient, without a lot of danger of explosives are in his wheelhouse. That gives me some confidence about how our defense is going to match up with Vandy. Our offense? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm down for a fatwa. Dude is aggressively stupid and has terrible banter.
  14. I was talking about QB development and you went off on a tangent about playcalling. I wish Sark would call plays that focus on the strengths of our offense and roster, but that's a separate issue. At any rate, people don't get better at a job by just doing the parts of it they find easy. They get better by doing the hard things. If I were trying to justify Sark's playcalling - which I'm not - I would say that he calls a prostyle offense to get players ready for the NFL, and that was probably discussed as part of their recruitment. The spread offense is popular in high school and college because it's easy to run by less talented and experienced players. It's not nearly as popular in the NFL because of the massive jump in talent, especially among the DBs. Surely you've heard the term "system QB" as a disparagement for productive college QBs when they go in the draft? That's what it's about.
  15. It's actually a lot of idiots. And given the already high percentage of idiots on this website, I can sympathize with someone who assumes the inmates are running the asylum. Just look at the "Sark to the NFL" thread.
  16. Weird to see Campbell with such a low score. He's usually the best OL.
  17. I think we agree about limiting expectations for Caldwell, but I'm not signing off on this whole "QBs regress under Sark" thing. There could be some validity to it, but I disagree with the evidence people have used. First, Ewers looked a lot fucking better in 2023 than he did in 2022. And although he took a step back in 2024, that may be attributable to a nagging injury. That's what Ewers has said and it makes as much sense to me as the idea that he regressed under Sark. As to Manning? We barely saw him play before this season, and most of his snaps against good competition were as a wildcat QB. I don't think he threw a pass against a P4 opponent outside of MSU. And Arch looked good in 2024, but how much of that was Sark keeping things simple for him / playing poor competition / having better WR and OL? There's too many variables that could explain the apparent "regression" of Ewers and Manning for me to pin it on Sark.
