  1. I have no doubt that Sark was/is looking to leave. I think he thought he could coast this year (based on how well his team looked the last 2 years), looked at his roster and especially with how Arch played last year, have another great year, and then leave a hero. He mailed it in during the off season because arrogance got the best of him. He's to hoping the huge ass piece of humble pie gets his ego knocked down a few pegs, and he gets his shit together for himself and the program.
  2. I'll go against the internet mob mentality and say that I don't want Sark to leave. I'm hoping the absolute turmoil of this season (some, probably most, of it his own making) turns him into a better person and coach. I'm hoping he can self reflect and make the changes required of him both personally and professionally.
  3. We fired Mack. I would bet most NC winning coaches got fired. Saban and Urban are the only 2 I can remember who "moved on" on their own. Well, Urban was kinda forced to move on because he had a killer on his roster.
  4. No need to throw that shit in this.
  5. Teed off at 7:30am, before first light. Walked 18 in 2:45 hours. Shot a 77. Haven't had below 70s temp for a round of golf since April. With the overnight rains, there was no one on the course. Our own private course walking in sub 70 degree temps. Got damned it was almost like Colorado at 7000 feet in August. It was a glorious morning.
  6. I've watched a shitton of golf instruction videos. Most are the same but every now and then you'll have a idiot who just throws out some stupid shit. I've never seen anyone dumb enough to say your backswing doesn't matter. I find the below video to be the best and simplest to work on a fundamental swing from which you can improve. There's a lot of work that goes into it which he doesn't get into. But from a swing stand point, that's the best thing you can do to teach a new golfer for changing a swing to cure slicing. Drop the hands and rotate through the ball. This is THE starting point. From here, you can work on the other minute details like grip, how you take away from the ball, etc. The one thing I will add that's extremely important is to try to keep the wrist close together throughout the swing (including backswing to downswing to follow through. The towel through your arm pits is a great drill to work on keeping your wrist together and swinging with your body.
  7. Your first instructor is a fucking idiot. If your backswing is shit, you are going to have to compensate for it somewhere in the downswing and finish. Your swing starts at how/where you address the ball, grip, stance, hands/arm tension. Then it goes to backswing (how you take away the club, your hands and by default your club face relative to the takeaway, how/where you hinge your wrist (cupped? no no), then to what happens at the top when you initiate your downswing (do your hips get way in front of your hands leading you to being late and pushing/slicing everything because your club face will most likely always be open at impact, etc), then to the downswing (do you drop your hands, do you throw your shoulder over the top, what's the club face/hands when you drop your hands, how much lag, do you cast?, etc), then to finish (how well do you rotate through the ball, is most of your weight on your lead leg, are you early extending, do you flip, etc?). If you conveniently consider any of those parts irrelevant, then your swing isn't going to be a consistent, repetitive thing that you can build on.
  8. Sarks big culture thing is has openness and honesty. That's bullshit if he's not fostering a culture where people can call out his bullshit and shortcomings.
  9. Is there no one on the staff or team who calls out Sark on his shitty OC'ing? Surely someone (hopefully multiple someones) after the Kentucky game has said "What the fuck was that?" BUT, for his tenure, we continue to suck inside the 10 so I guess that's a NO. He can look amazing at times but then there are entire games where he's like a fucking idiot calling plays regardless of what is happening on the field.
  10. aggy is going to lose their shit again when they are reminded that they are a stepping stone program.
  11. The stupidity is astounding. So much #winning. He started the trade war. When the other nation responds, it's a Hostile Act. Which fucking simpletons are still praying to the toilet shrine of this dipshit?
  12. I guess this is as good of a reason as any. I wonder if she ever got the firemen gangbang that she so wanted. https://www.news18.com/viral/woman-intentionally-starts-2-wildfires-in-greece-to-flirt-with-firefighters-9038245.html A 44-year-old woman from Tripoli, Greece, is facing legal trouble after she intentionally set not one but two wildfires on farmland in Kerasitsa. As per reports, the incidents happened on August 24 and 25, while the woman was arrested on August 26 by the Police Department of Tripoli. Investigators revealed that her unusual motive was to catch the attention of firefighters, so that she could meet and flirt with them. As per the police department, the woman was spotted at both fire sites, which sparked suspicion among the firefighters. Following the investigation, the woman was arrested.
  13. Is Sark channeling his inner Jimmy Johnson (kicking Swervin Curvin off the team) sending a message to team by getting rid of Gibson and Stone mid-season.
  14. I think of this scene re Franklin's requirement to "look for another job".
  15. I don't fish offshore so did not realize there is a season for AJ. I knew there is for Red Snapper, or at least that's according to my wife.
  16. Indiana is a football powerhouse. They should win the NC every year. Clearly Cignetti is way undersachieving. If he'd done this at Duke or some other basketball school, it would've been hella impressive.
  17. When $$$ is more important that the safety of the kids they are/were supposed to protect. This sums up the bullshit from the camps. “You all now have the responsibility to implement these laws with strength, transparency, and integrity. House Bill 1 and Senate Bill 1 were written in the blood of my daughter and the other 26 girls who perished that night. If a camp cannot operate safely, then it should not operate at all,” McCown said.
  18. Remember, it's a not a question of "if", but of "how bad will it/they be?"
  19. It's a matter of perspective. It's good if you are coaching a top 25 team facing Rhule.
  20. One has no _ffense and the other has no _efense
