  1. Gerry said this morning that it isn't an arm or shoulder injury and it is related to the injury he suffered last season.
  2. Building on that - Baxter is likely out until Florida.
  3. If they are willingly coming to this website then I think they should already know what to expect. This place isn't called Cheery Horns. No one promised them a rose garden.
  4. Last week, I said I wanted to see Arch connect with Wingo a few more times and for the OL to cut down on the penalties. They accomplished both of those things. So this week, I would like to see Arch play with a modicum of competence and confidence. I don't need VY levels of swagger or Colt levels of consistency, just play like the same guy he was against MSU last season. Get him out of the game at half time, regardless of how he is playing, and give Caldwell and maybe even Lacey some reps under center. I never want to see Stroh on the field again. The experiment has failed and it is time to move on.
  5. Delightfully on brand, thank you. Truly a bright spot in an otherwise dark thread.
  6. He's always been this way. Playcalling against TCU in 2022 felt punitive. I think Sark is a good dude but I also think he has an angry streak and I think it is most manifest when the team is failing to execute the layups he's feeding them. Maybe I'm just another fucking idiot on this board, but playcalling does not seem like the issue to me. At all. Some plays get called because they're setting up later plays, not because they're necessarily going to succeed on that down. Sark does that a lot and always has. But what Sark does on offense only works if it's executed. If the players don't execute the play that is supposed to be the payoff for all that set up, then it doesn't mean dick and the whole thing falls apart. If you don't like that style of offense - which, for the record, is not an unreasonable position - then the only fix is a different playcaller or an entirely new OC. You're not talking about changes to game management, you're talking about a wholesale revision to the offensive philosophy. Stroh needs to be gone. Drop Conner Roberson in at C and move Hutson to LG. Or anything that gets that guy off the field. I cannot believe how "cute" Sark is being about that guy's level of play. He should be irate and Flood should be working to save his job.
  7. He's unacceptable. That picture posted above in the thread? Where him, Hutson, and Campbell are all on the ground? It's because Stroh tripped over his own feet and tripped the other two. He is actively damaging the performance of the offensive line more than anyone on the defensive lines we've played. Him still being on the field is exhibit A in the case to fire Flood.
  8. Goddamn how old are you? Gotta update those references. Try bringing in Seth Rogan and Sydney Sweeney to unfuck his brain.
  9. Girl Drink Drunk
  10. Sark benched Card at Arkansas. He also benched Ewers against UGA, albeit briefly. Not a QB, but he also demoted Blue from RB1 in 2023. He’s stubborn but has shown that he is willing to pull his starters if they aren’t getting it done.
  11. Shockingly, only the dumbest loudmouths on this board are making that argument. Same guys who think Sark is a shitty coach. I would have them on ignore if they weren’t so often unintentionally hilarious
  12. Keep spamming the obvious. It makes you look really smart and cool. Not like an annoying dumb fuck.
  13. I get what you mean, but that was the Saturday after beating Bama. Completely different vibe.
  14. No fumbles. So thats good. Baby (rhino) steps.
  15. He is an actual liability. Not only does he fail to block anyone on several plays, he actually gets in the way of other OL. I get it, but it still annoys me. Chop blocks are still legal at the LOS if done correctly. The teams we play get worse every week and yet Arch looks worse and worse. It’s like he forgot how to throw a ball.
  16. I can’t believe he doubted our defense like that
  17. Sark was just too loyal to Ewers. Cost us a championship. This is what is so bizarre and confusing. He looked great against teams who were, at worst, better than UTEP. The fuck happened?
  18. Counterpoint - PA is part of Sark’s offense and these cupcakes are a golden opportunity for reps. In games that matter, we absolutely should be making Manning’s job easier. But for now it’s good to make him eat his vegetables.
  19. You could also just sit there at rock bottom and wallow in it. Every UCLA fan Im friends with says they are unserious program and that the current admin doesn’t give a shit about being good at football. It is a revenue generator and they won’t spend any more time or money on it than is absolutely necessary.
  20. The play action will continue until morale improves.
  21. I've always thought the comparisons between Clark and Bijan were pretty questionable, but this is definitely one similarity. I remember in 2022 when Choice had to coach Bijan to run straight through holes - dude kept wanting to dodge when the play called for him to run downhill. And taking advantage of his strength to turn a 1-yard gain into 4 yards was a huge step forward in Bijan's development. Now, Clark is trying to do the same thing, dancing when he needs to dive. Sometimes you need to just get small and run hard to get a couple of more yards.
  22. Oregon looks like an absolute buzzsaw. Especially their blocking.
