Every time I read these updates, I take a step back and remember all the decisions made thus far have been to keep the roster intact and win the SEC in 2024.
Fairly expected that the most hated teams are also the most successful. Notable exception--Aggy, who somehow pulls off being hated while also completely mediocre and not a real threat in the league in any sport.
LSU also bucks the trend by being a historically successful team but only average level of hate.
Football is as popular as ever. All of my kids' friends play and parents can't get them in tackle football soon enough. I don't get it. There is too much science that says football is a really bad idea. My 12 year old and 9 year old beg me to play. They play soccer and happen to have really strong and accurate legs. I told them their ticket to a football uniform is to continue to build their leg strength and accuracy, because if you can kick a ball consistency through an upright from 45 yards away, you can write your ticket in college.
It's almost like the 2022 kids got bags of cash that Aggy got no ROI on and are pissed off rather than having actual NIL deals that no longer need to be paid out if a kid leaves the university.
The thing most puzzling to me about the whole thing...well maybe not the MOST puzzling...but definitely puzzling, is that's it's fairly obvious to anybody paying attention the entire thing needs to be blown up. Complete roster overhaul and fresh set of coaches that weren't compicit in the culture rot. Yet it seems like the 2 biggest priorities were keeping "key assistants" as well as the 2022 recruiting class on campus that has played a hand in going 5-7 and 7-5 the last 2 seasons. They are treating it like just a few tweaks are needed.
Holy Christ that's the best thing ive seen in a while. Coming off a 5-7 year, predicts Texas A&M is the next team to join the "SEC Elite". By his definition, that is teams that beat Bama. Fast forward 5 months, Texas has beaten Bama in Tuscaloosa, and it's all he can do to discount that game and say it doesn't count because it was in September.
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one
Mack Brown's personal attorney had the field named after him. Wasn't he the single largest football donor?
Good ol' Red publicly said our new Head Coach was hardly qualified to be a coordinator.
And I don't even have any contacts in the booster community to know all the real shit that goes on.
Yes, that and the fact that everyone else turned them down and BMDs and fans rejected his 6th choice of a middle-of-the-road 7-5 SEC coach. When your last choices are Elko or a 38 year old position coach, that led Bjork back to Elko.
Great time to be on the 40 Acres.
Read "Nutty" and do the crossword while eating a turkey melt from the food stand that was a front for a criminal organization.
More like spending $150k on a 10 year old Mini Cooper with a Maserati name plate glued to the front. And the driver won't shut up about how they stole it for $150k
I am not disparaging the dish, because on a cold night that looks like it would hit the spot.
But for some reason I got a big laugh out of the idea that the dish was too fancy for the Steel Shank thread because it looked like something you used to eat at Panchos. Talk about a back handed compliment.
