Hahahaha. This is an awesome response. “I don’t like this data, therefore, I reject it. “ Absolutely correct, never minding his data rejection absurdity. -

Was that in response to something I wrote? I presume as much given your context. Regardless, the guy is a drug addled cuckhold, by his own admissions. I think keeping him off of ignore and putting him in situations where he becomes a punching bag, which he constantly does, is somewhat unethical. He’s got a room temperature IQ and he’s completely unstable. Just let him be, folks. -

Not every OC throws the end zone fade at volume. And yes, most coaches are not very bright. Very few OCs are doing anything other than copying what the rest of the sheep are doing. -

What if you had worked out more? Maybe grown a few more inches? Then maybe rohypnol might not have had to be a big part of your strategy. We can do the “what if?” game for anything. It’s a dumb play call. -

Any pass completed less than 40% of the time while the average yards per attempt is less than 20 should never be called as a play ever again. I don't give a fuck if John Gruden and Colt McCoy are from prior generations and really get off on it still. -

The man knows his audience. He's a master of propaganda, I have to give it to him. The way he just pompously asserts that Texas fans would want to have a bunch of the guys on the ATM roster wearing burnt orange is a perfect move for an aggie audience. The problem for him and the aggies this year is that he likely actually believes that. Now, who would you actually trade for versus the current UT two-deep on a position by position basis? QB - Reed over any QB at Texas right now? No. RB - Moss over Baxter or Wisner? No. Owens over anyone in the top 6? No. I don't need to see the younger guys play yet to know that they're better than a slow guy who can't break arm tackles. Owens has clips on Twitter right now where you can see The Elk's training regimen has taken hold. He's shirtless and is showing off a layer of fat. Is that going to help him move his career YPC to something north of 4.0? Doubt it. WR - Concepcion, Craver, or some spare named Ashton Bethel-Roman? Terry "The Athlete" Bussey? Who on the Texas WR 2 deep do you want to bench for any of those guys? Concepcion's numbers were terrible last year and the guy wasn't injured. TE - Swedish guy, Some dude who was mediocre at Nebraska, Niblack? GTFO. OT - Zuhn, Fatheree, Crownover? I'd take Zuhn over whoever is backing Goosby. The other two guys are replacement value at best. Give me Goosby, Baker, Brooks, Cojoe or Chatman over those 2. OG - Kansas Hyphen Shittalking Guy, Bisontits? - I'll keep Campbell, Robertson, and Omeozulu over Bisontits. KU guy starting opposite of Campbell would work. C - Nabou off of an injury? Hutson has better tape as a starter at OG. Nope. DT - Regis, Hicks, some guy named "Onyedim" or Daelyn Evans? Give me all of the Texas 3 deep over each of them save Regis. I don't know if Regis starts for Texas, but he's in the rotation. Hicks has been an utter disappointment so far. DE/Edge - Cashius Howell, TJ Searcy, Dayon Hayes? Howell is objectively a playmaker. The other two transfers are also-ran bums. ATM celebrated getting Searcy and everyone else looked around like "did anyone else want that guy? I didn't want that guy. (shrugs)". The problem with taking Howell is you're then benching Simmons, Burke, Vasek, Moore, Spence, or Hill to give him snaps. You'd take him anyway. The other guys wouldn't make the UT roster. LB - Scooby Wiliams, Taurean York? Benching Hill, Lefau, Smith, Spence, or Moore for those guys? No. The amount of touting going on for York within the media and the aggie fanbase is fascinating. It's similar to Stutsman the last few years at OU. Is no one watching the games or film? If you want tackles made 9 yards down the field on a regular basis, York is your undersized, slow LB from your fantasies. Nope. NB - Chappell or the JAGs behind him? Over McDonald, Guilbeau or Mack? No. CB - Ricks and Lee? Lee is good. Ricks blows. Lee as the 2nd starting CB at Texas this year would work. Safety - Bryce Anderson and Dalton Brooks? Anderson has regressed at ATM. He's a shell of his freshman self. Brooks is slow and often out of position but he'll hit you. Those guys over Taaffe, Williams, or the 4 and 5 star backups? Nope. PK/P - Bond and White are good. The guys Texas has brought in look comparable. So Liucci thinks Texas would take a recovering Moss over Wisner or a recovering Baxter. Not me. Zuhn, KU Hyphen, Regis, Howell, and Lee. 5 guys I'd insert into the Texas 44 man 2 deep. Just an outstanding roster over there at ATM. -

Fade route is a low percentage play that ignores the "data" that guys like Sarkisian fall back on to justify idiotic decisions in games like taking points off the board to go for it, etc. The fade is nothing but a shitty vanity play for OCs and their hot shot QBs. Sarkisian will likely call it 50 times this year, score on 5 of them, and then be throwing inside the red zone in a tight game in the playoffs as everyone pulls their hair out. It should go the way of the wishbone and the wing-T. -
Quality depth in the secondary is ridiculous right now. I can’t wait to see them play.

One of the things that has helped everyone, from donors to CDC to Sarkisian to coaching staff to Harris, is simply time. Most of the network and infrastructure is no longer unfamiliar. Yes, there have been a few new coaches, but that's about it. As folks are in the same roles for longer, they get better. Another factor, however, is that their flaws also become better understood and good managers are able to either help people work on those areas, or account for that weakness in some other way. Last year and prior to that, Harris was not ready for prime time. He's allegedly in better shape these days, but I highly doubt he's some skilled guru that is in high demand on the open market. He's still somewhat inexperienced and immature and he's buoyed by literally the best resourced program in the world. Sarkisian is something of a micromanager around the roster, so he's not going to be repeatedly surprised when the same shit rears its head with each big recruitment or position group. Kenny Baker's been here a year+ and that helps, but he also no longer has to beg for attention and resources at DT. He had to throw fits after watching the May/June debacle last year and that changed things there, as an example. Most lessons aren't learned through success, in my experience. Overcoming failure and adversity leads to growth and experience, then hopefully success and wisdom. If you choose to learn at all. Tom Herman is a narcissist. He's been incapable of true growth and learning since the narcissism framed up his personality in puberty, most likely. Nothing is ever his fault, so what is there to learn? Sarkisian is the opposite of that. He's empathetic and introspective. That's almost to a fault, I think. This is an introspective staff, led at the top by a guy who clearly is such. I'm just hoping that that finds its way into the red zone planning and playcalling this season. Allegedly the TE/A-back coach and Neal Brown are involved with just that, but we'll see.- 9607 replies

Sorry to interrupt whatever the fuck is going on here, but I've spoilered an update from Bucknuts regarding a few OSU positions. The DT note is very telling. They're lacking depth there, Kanu leaving didn't help them at all, and they're going to have to go with odd fronts at times due to the problem. Ohio State has a stacked roster because they recruit as well as anyone, but the roster is overly stacked in areas of focus by Day, for instance WR, CB and Safety. They under-recruit OL and they've not done as well with depth at DT over the last few cycles either. OSU has 3 points of weakness heading into the game against Texas, and all can be exploited by this Texas team: 1) QB - They don't lack for QBs with 5 star ratings, but they lack experience and the offseason reports aren't great. Sayin is not a running QB, so watching him try to get his shit together against the Texas front in 43 days should be fun to watch. 2) OL - They're replacing 4 OLs. OL has never been a strength for them under Day and now they're patching together transfers and homegrown youth. Not having 2 NFL ready RBs behind them and a 5th year QB playing behind the new OL isn't going to help much. Again, the front 7 should be hell on earth for these guys come 8/30. 3) DT - Discussed the depth issues already and there's more in the notes below. They have 2 excellent DT starters, but they're really thin behind them and they're in trouble if they're pushing those guys for 50+ snaps in 80+ degree weather.
