  1. Say what you want, but Stroh has established continuity. Continually tripping over his 20 inch circumference ankles and nearly crushing anyone in the vicinity.
  2. That’s why I clarified that UCLA can be competitive in the rev share era. The donor base isn’t actually that bad, it’s just been completely disengaged by Kelly and Foster. They’ve fundraised well for facilities in the past and have plenty of basketball NIL.
  3. Mandel was a Chip Kelly mouthpiece and is still running PR for him. This isn’t completely inaccurate, but UCLA is not an impossible job. Mora was pulling classes around the Top 10 and attendance was decent in the early 2010s. In the rev share era, it should be a mid-tier B10 job.
  4. We literally saw the guy play well over 3 games last year, there’s no way he was playing like this in practice. This level of play is obviously mental, SJSU and UTEP aren’t any better than ULM or MSU.
  5. The idea of rooting for A&M against any opponent is crazy to me. If OU plays A&M, I hope that the team that is situated worse heading into the game wins, but my rooting interest is for both teams to look terrible. I'm close with a few domers and they're not looking at this A&M game as any kind of program statement, whereas the office aggies are doing their typical premature gloating. I'm hoping Notre Dame completely humiliates them.
  6. The Foster hire was so obviously doomed from the start. He's clearly not a good coach, but that fat prick Chip Kelly left him with easily one of the worst rosters in the P4. Pretty clear that the UCLA AD and school leadership are not serious about competing in football, which is a problem when you enter the Big 10. I don't really know where they go from here, but imagine it will be long long down period for the program.
  7. Interesting how often DJ Campbell shows up on the 80+ grade list. Tracks with what we've seen, he can be really great at times. It would just be nice if he could finally put it all together for SEC play, but I'm losing hope .
  8. I recall consternation after we played Rice and Wyoming in 2023. I also remember us looking pretty good against a ranked Louisiana team in 2021. Plenty of other examples, but there's just not much you can take away, good or bad, in G5 games. The only things I'm focused on are whether Arch can start hitting short and intermediate passes and if the OL can stop committing false starts.
  9. Yeah, I'm not saying that we don't have major issues in the red zone. We might have a national championship in the last two years if we executed there. I just don't really think Kirk Bohls asking Sark for an explanation gets us any interesting or new information at this point, which was the point of the original post.
  10. CJ Vogel is an idiot, but he's not really wrong here. It's not like Sark would say "Yeah, funny thing about that is I actually mentally black out as soon as we get in goal to go situations. I am a bad playcaller and I don't know how to score red zone touchdowns." I'm not opposed to the question being asked but it is kind of diminishing returns at this point.
  11. Aside from it being incredibly disappointing, there's just not many interesting topics to discuss from Week 1. If we'd lost 38-31, we'd probably have more to say. It was just a really simple story of our QB being terrible, blowing it for the millionth time in the red zone and our defense being badass. There's not a whole lot that could happen on the field in the next month that gives us any real insight or answers. I expect that Arch will not suck for his whole career here. I am fairly confident the light will not go on for Sark in the redzone four years in. The team will probably be very good this year and beyond.
  12. Florida getting USF, @LSU and @Miami before they play us is nice. They’ll probably be pretty banged up with some injury prone guys on offense.
  13. I get where you’re coming from here and I don’t think anyone is expecting the bottom to fall out based on a one score loss in the Shoe where we were driving to tie it late in the 4th. However, I don’t know how you can say you have zero concerns when the same RZ issues exist. Goal line failures in particular have defined our seasons the past two years and that is once again the reason we lost a big game against an equally talented opponent. If Arch is somewhere between what we saw against MSU and what we saw yesterday, our floor is 9-3 and our ceiling is 11-1. That’s great, but the time has come for Sark’s supposed elite QB development and play calling ability to show up. I’m fairly concerned because my expectation at this point is to contend for national championships.
  14. I thought Aranda was pretty sound as a DC, but that his game management in the games I've watched at Baylor is below the median. However, Huge Freeze is beyond atrocious in that department so Baylor still likely has the coaching edge. Cristobal and Freeze are the two main guys at big programs that move the line a point or two in my mind just by existing.
  15. That was absolute drivel. They check in with Chip Brown who tells them that our LT can't block, Arch is scared, their Big 12 running back room is actually as good as the two NFL players and we'll be lucky to score a point. The insider who said the OSU roster might be deeper should be checked into a fuckin mental institution. They lost 14 guys to the draft! All the key contributors on this year's team were on that team last year!
  16. It is so crazy to me that Auburn put together a very good roster, including an elite WR room, and then went and got Jackson Arnold to QB the team. They couldn't moneywhip Duke and get Mensah? Or Indiana for Mendoza? I'm sure those guys got massive offers, but if you're going to spend a boatload on Eric Singleton Jr. you should probably get a guy who can throw him the ball. The thing that gives me pause is that in most Auburn games, I handicap a big coaching edge for whoever is going up against Huge Freeze. Aranda is one of the guys that I don't think has a sizable edge on him. Ultimately, I'm taking Baylor to win straight up.
  17. Incredible point.
  18. Right, Paterno is at the top of this list for me. Briles is about as bad as it gets, but he was a sociopath dead set on winning games. Paterno knew about Sandusky in 2002 and was also aware that Sandusky was deeply involved in a program for underprivileged youth for YEARS after that. There wasn't even a winning incentive there. It's obviously tough to rank these guys because they're all scumbags, but Paterno acting like the fucking pope the whole time makes my skin crawl.
  19. I am aware of that, they ended up in the same recruiting class and Smith was rated significantly higher. He was viewed as a generational prospect.
  20. Smith was the consensus #1 player in the country, so this is absolutely not true.
  21. The posts a few pages back where they're talking about how the defense will improve are gold. They hand wave the loss of their entire defensive line, including three guys taken in the first two rounds of the draft, because Elko is calling the defense! As head coach, he obviously wasn't allowed much input last year leading to mediocre results. Sure, they only return one all conference player, but Taurean York is basically Ray Lewis and don't forget about Scooby. The defense becoming elite through use of Elko's brain is obviously important because this is probably the #1 offense in the country with Lamar Jackson at QB and Ashton Justin-Jefferson at WR. Truly the only thing that can stop the Ags this year is the refs and the vast and ongoing conspiracy against them and in favor of sippy.
  22. I wouldn't be shocked if they lost two of LSU, @Louisville and @South Carolina. I get that the Clemson offense should be very good and they certainly have a lot of defensive players getting NFL buzz. The thing is their defense wasn't any good last year. The freshman Louisville tailback absolutely diced them and Sellers ran for 170 yards. I guess the theory is that Tom Allen is just that big of an upgrade on Wes Goodwin.
  23. They are legit special needs adults on there. I always feel kind of bad for Bobby and Gerry since they have to interact with them and pretend to take them seriously.
  24. Feel like this has been discussed, but the Rice transfer getting beat out by a guard at LT and now being in a battle for the RT job is such a bad sign for OSU. On top of that, they lose two all world RBs, without replacing them with anyone near that caliber and a physical, experienced QB who was a run threat. Oh and they also lose Chip Kelly, who probably overcomes lesser OL talent through run blocking schemes better than anyone in football. I would not want to open against this Texas front 7 with all of the foregoing.
  25. Thank you! That looks like a great spot, I'll probably end up there.
