  1. I don't have a dog in this fight, but listing 5 quality starters for a group consisting of only 7 positions isn't that egregious. Especially when Finkley and Gbenda showed themselves to be generally competent last year. If we were talking about all 11 positions on defense, you could also point to guys like Watts, Thompson, and Barron as starters, with Guilbeau and Brooks as promising contributors. Plus the two DB transfers who appear to be solid. Again - I'm not adopting the original argument that defense will be better than offense because there's more proven returning production. That is a dumb argument. I'm just pointing out that the defense as a whole is also returning a lot of production. There's reason to be optimistic about both sides of the ball, if we're looking at what's returning from 2022.
  2. Sark's been calling plays for the team he wants, not the team he actually has, and we've lost games because of it. Now it sounds like he has the team he wants. Hopefully that means we're going to murder everyone.
  3. lol, posting that quote without context is going to give someone an aneurysm.
  4. That’s what literally all of us thought but luckily we have luminaries like Ian Boyd to set us straight.
  5. Maybe I’m wooshing here, but wasn’t the problem that they used “dominate” which is a verb, when they meant “dominant” which is an adjective? I don’t think anyone questioned whether “dominate” was a word.
  6. elite quarterbacks developer, and maybe the best play-caller of the past 2 decades. In 2022, Petrino’s Missouri State Bears ranked 65th in FCS for total offense.
  7. Parker Livingstone talk goes in the 24 recruiting thread.
  8. We call that "cautious optimism"
  9. You're not wrong, but I want to defend Ewers a little bit. Our o-line was leaking like a sieve and he had someone in his face almost instantly on several pass plays. He was definitely off, but the fuck-ups were a team effort. It actually makes me feel a little better that Sark recognized what wasn't working and pivoted to what was, even if that pivot was as simple as handing the ball to our stud RBs. Not a ringing endorsement of his playcalling, but I honestly doubted Sark's willingness to get out of his own way after the TCU game. So it was still somewhat nice to see.
  10. Bad lawyers who work on contingency. Don't ask me how I know.
  11. I skimmed the article because I'm not a masochist, but his point seemed to be that Majors was doing his best with a bad situation and that his job is hard enough when he's not being flanked by a true freshman and the dumbest smart kid I know.
  12. These tweets are what all the sturm und drang was about on OU Insider? Seriously? Are they that soft? Why am I even asking that question, of course they are. What a fucking joke.
  13. Interesting. I just assumed you were still drunk. The OSU / KSU / TCU stretch was rough. Thank God we still held on to beat KSU, but that whole second half half had me screaming. More than anything, the OSU game made me question Ewers' future as QB1 and the TCU game made me questions Sark. I'm glad we cleaned things up and looked better against Kansas and Baylor, but it's hard for me to go full Wulaw with those games lingering on my mind. I can chalk up the poor Q4 offensive performance to us being up late in games. Playing ball control trying to run out the clock isn't going to boost statistics. The real issue for me is the defensive performance in Q4. Where the fuck is that drop off coming from? Seems insane. Boyd has verbal diarrhea and is painful to read, but is he wrong? Majors isn't great but it seems like the guards are our problem.
  14. What are all these jackasses going to talk about when we're in the SEC and they can't badmouth our schedule anymore? Two thirds of their "analysis" consists of "...they're in the Big 12."
