  1. Covers his eye with a spoon and just fucking taps it
  2. I haven't seen bad play from Bush this year. Like at all. You make it sound like he's been the 2023 version of Luke Brockermeyer. He's not our most athletic OLB/DE, but he is a solid contributor and quality depth. Guys like that are awesome because they stick around for 5 years and maintain continuity between classes. On top of being good football players.
  3. I haven't seen anyone say UM is a cakewalk, just that they are a better matchup for us than UW because the passing game and our secondary.
  4. This guy has actually been much better than the last two assholes. Not sure why we're giving him so much grief for thinking UW is going to win.
  5. Ha ha, holy shit. Do you have any original thoughts or do you just parrot the shit you read on reddit? Seriously, it's like talking to a chatbot. Anyway, I'm done with this regard. The rest of y'all can keep dicking around with him if you want but before you do, I want you to consider the kind of person who goes to another team's messageboard to act like this. What do you think he gets out of this? This guy is either emotionally stunted, developmentally challenged, or working out some concerns about his manhood. Or all three, I don't know. But what I do know is that he is getting a lot more out of the attention you're giving to him than you are getting out of reading the dumb shit he's posting. Don't feed the trolls, gentlemen.
  6. Buddy, I'm getting the impression that you may have some unhealthy fixation on our coach. I get that being jilted hurts, but y'all are doing okay now. You should probably learn to let those feelings go. You've got a real nice little squad and you beat Oregon twice, so you should feel good about this season. But y'all are gonna have to play a team outside the PAC that isn't coached by Mel Tucker, and I think you're going to be surprised that all that sunshine being pumped about the PAC this year was just that - sunshine. ESPN and Fox wanted your conference to have a nice swan song and so they talked y'all up. But your conference has been shit for a reason. Utah won the whole thing - twice! The competition just isn't up to snuff and your OOC sucks. And to be perfectly clear - the Big 12 is absolute shit as well. It deserves to die too. But at least on this board we're not laboring under some misconceptions about the competition we've played. Except for, ya know, fucking Alabama. The Tide aren't Michigan State and you haven't played any real competition yet this season. We have. Anyway, good luck.
  7. @Mitch Cumsteen has already been over there this week fighting the good fight. I've always though highly of UW as a school, but their posters are pretty awful at "trolling." Like, /b/ in 2009 levels bad. The trick to a good troll is to mix in as much truth as you can, and make the opinion bad but not so bad that it's unbelievable. The UW posters that have come over here - and a lot of them on their board - basically think the below image is the pinnacle of internet humor: It's disappointing. You try to talk football with them and it quickly becomes clear that's not what they're interested in. They just want to project their opinions into the ether and enjoy the feeling of satisfaction they get from the projection. They don't really want to learn anything or come away with any new insight. Now some of them, I'm sure, are nice people. But the majority I've been dealing with parrot the same talking points and cannot even begin to grok my responses. It's like arguing with a dementia patient.
  8. Me to my wife at random points throughout the day: She found it pretty annoying at first but now she's starting to get on board.

    Outcoached

    Look, if you were out here after Kansas in 2021 or TCU in 2022, beating your chest about Sark being the guy - talk your shit. You've earned it. But as far as I know, only @Wulaw Horn has that honor. If you were out here beating your chest about Sark after the OU game this year - sure. Get after it too. You don't get full credit, but I count myself as someone who was not dissuaded from his long term prospects after that game. And I want some credit. Now I see a lot of posters ripping on people who were critical of Sark, simply because they were critical. People who had legitimate complaints and wanted to air them out. But the people ripping on those posters for being critical didn't say shit beforehand. They were lukewarm at best, and pretty fucking quiet to boot. That's fucking soft. If you don't want to take a position that fine. Prudent even. But you don't get to act all high and mighty now.
  10. These two points - that he has (1) preached a consistent vision to the team and recruits, and (2) learned from his mistakes and continues to improve - are what gives the most hope for sustained success and the most confidence in Sark. The guy is a great coach but is still learning and improving game to game and year to year. The fact that is smart enough to see problems and fix them, coupled with him being humble enough to understand he isn't perfect, is huge. But the fact that he has an ethos, and that he both talks the talk and walks the walk according to that ethos, is probably even more important. You know he isn't full of bullshit when you see him take it on the chin after any loss and still refuses to throw anyone under the bus. When he puts in the players who give us the best chance of winning, regardless of what they think they deserve or have earned. When he is vulnerable with the team about his past and flaws, and encourages them to do the same with each other. He leads by example. Recruits and players are still kids and don't have the wisdom that you expect from adults, but they can smell bullshit. They know a fake. And they can see that Sark isn't fake. Those aren't qualities that a person loses when the going gets tough. They take a lifetime to cultivate and become a cornerstone of who you are, and they are the foundation you lean on when shit hits the fan. I'm ready to say that Sark is the guy - and not just because he's winning games. It's how the team is winning games and how Sark is leading the team.
