Whereas I feel that these are his biggest strengths. That's why he jettisoned several coaches after just one year. Had you said this about Mack Brown I would have agreed with you.
What? The conference schedule is murder? WHO KNEW????????!!!! Certainly not this forum or its previous iterations. All I heard for over a decade was “the SECSECSEC” is overrated. Is there a Waffle House nearby? Besides on this forum, I mean?
Because sometime the first offer might be the best offer. Happens in FA in all the major sports all the time. Ask any baseball player still looking for work right now if he wishes he might have taken a first offer somewhere. At some point in time a team moves onto guys that are willing to sign bc they have to fill a need and then the guy who didn’t sign isn’t in a bidding war but sees his number go down as more teams fill up. That’s not always what happens but it could happen and that’s why guys will sign right away.
Extremely meh season at our lease in East TX as well, and it definitely wasn't due to a lack of hunting or insufficient prep work. We had feeders running well before the season started. Deer never settled into any kind of predictable pattern. Occasionally they'd swing by at feed time, but more often than not would wait until well after dark. Despite showing up on cameras at least 25 different days the past 2 months, not a single one of us ever laid eyes on the big buck roaming our property in the flesh. Even the hogs started avoiding coming out during shooting light. Consistently above-average temperatures obviously didn't help, and yeah, I have to assume that there were plenty of other food options. Brush still looking like what you'd except to see in early November rather than late December. Not a fan of these La Nina years. I'm heading up to give it one last stab this weekend, but have little hope of coming home with anything. At least it'll be nice and cool and dry.
No most have said to keep the return trip from OSU and Michigan. Just after that they shouldn't, ESPECIALLY ND and their bitch asses not joining a conference. IF the format doesn't expect, we are absolutely hamstringing ourselves by intentionally scheduling national powers when our own conference schedule is going to be a murder. Look at our schedule next year...going to be multiple top 10-15 teams. Plus OSU. In the future it won't get easier. No reason to schedule that hard OOC if it's going to be held against us with a loss.
I am guessing during her Senate exploration, she hired a strategist and they are working on her image. With her current negatives, her options were limited to Rep from a very red district or being a commentator on FoxNews. She wants a promotion. Although honestly, with the sheer volume of stupid shit she's said, I have a hard time imagine her winning a statewide election in purplish Georgian. She should just move to Oklahoma. I delight in the irony that some of her angst may be because neither she, nor any of her 32 Republican female colleague members, were awarded Committee Chair positions. Let's face it: if a woman is not qualified to be President then why would one be qualified to run a Congressional Committee.
Actually I should give props to @Hornius Emeritus for the pic. He has done more to educate me on the real Texas than any public school coach ever could.
Livingstone absolutely at least played to expectations if not exceeded it. WIngo had a poor first half of the season then picked it up. Which coincides with Arch starting to come around. Receiver is the position most reliant on others on offense to not suck. The QB has to not suck, and the line/TE/RBs in blocking have to not suck. A lot of the season guys were getting adequately open but Arch either wasn't able to get the ball to them or missed them. Especially the first 5 to 6 games. Also, why would anyone think Harris isn't doing anything? There's 80+ scholarship players on the team and who knows how many potential portal agents he and his team are having to deal with now. Of course Sark is going to have to get involved in the higher profile ones. You think Sark isn't going to be involved with his starting RB, Starting LT, #1 reciever, all American DE negotiation? Or any big portal guy like a Coleman or Baugh? This whole situation is a mess because the NCAA was neutered by the courts. You have to have a governing body to run and control things. Now the NCAA needed a major overhaul and was inefficient before, but some legitimate regulation that is enforceable and highly punitive to violate is necessary.
Talking to them isn't an issue. Never said it was. Glad he's checked in. Read my fucking post. They did no ground work to set the expectations for these conversations, very very clearly. He's not talking about one agent or a single example he's saying the whole thing is fucked and he's up there lamenting basically the entire process. That's why I said what the fuck does BRANDON HARRIS do all day? Not WHY THE FUCK IS SARK ON THE PHONE WITH AGENTS HURRR DURRR
They are going to wait until the last possible minute to announce the team because they don't want to have to hear the bitching. Ain't going to stop us from it, but it's all they have. This feels like a big Fuck You to anyone that isn't in their circle.
