  1. LOLOLOLOLOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  2. Ohio State wasn't ready either, BUT they focused on playing mistake-free football, and it paid off.
  3. Penalties and miscues all over the place. Ohio State played a much cleaner game. The good news is, most of those can be fixed. Not happy with RT play at all, but I could be talked down off that ledge. MY FAVORITE PLAY WAS CJ BAXTER'S BLOCK. That LB was going to kill Arch, and CJ stoned him. That's... that's why I hope Baxter gets more playing time. Wisner's very good, but the LB goes through him.
  4. It takes a big man to admit his mistakes. And it takes an even bigger man to point and laugh at that man.
  5. I believe that all available evidence supports this take, with no evidence to contradict it. I think that last drive is telling; Ewers hits Wingo in stride on 3rd down, but also takes a sack on 4th. Outcome doesn't change. I'm more concerned about our OL than anything, especially RT. He did not have a good day.
  6. YAY WE AREN'T BEING SHUT OUT THANKS TO JAGGY
  7. Penalties and turnovers, man.
  8. you KNOW she can give head without using teeth 100% would without hesitation and you know she likes chocolate so first date gift is set
  9. giving people herpes, mostly
  10. Usenet itself, baby! In the days before the Eternal September. Command-line interfaces to discussion groups... I used rn at the time, later the superior trn. And IRC of course.
  11. Fake laugh. Hiding real pain. Go get Silverballs.
  12. dang, @Sgt Hulk beat me by 6 minutes
  13. Wasn't even close to the first time I was wrong on the Internet, and not even the most egregious example. Somewhere out there there's a post I've made, on the internet, where I decried the direction Id Software went with Wolfenstein 3D, making overblown "tech demos" instead of "good gameplay" games like Commander Keen. It's hilariously bad in retrospect. BUT... the Chuck Strong Experience broke my "trust the corches!" nonsense for good. I was that guy from Mackovic up through Strong. Even now, while I like Sark and think the program is in the right direction, I'm going to calibrate my enthusiasm.
  14. One of the super powers I had in my career was the ability to sorta attach myself to a problem and chew at it until it was solved. This was very good for, say, incredibly hard to find bugs that had to be fixed, or writing new things that needed in-depth knowledge that no one, including me, had yet. But this is a terrible trait to have when you either get obsessed with something that isn't an issue the business is concerned with... and when getting into arguments with people on the Internet, whether right or wrong. I'm getting better at it, but still struggle. So on the one hand, I sympathize with Derka, and would be a hypocrite if I didn't. On the other hand, since I know what the answer is, and Derka knows what the answer is, I think less of him as a person because he refuses to do it. USE THE GODDAMN IGNORE FEATURE @Derka!!!
  15. tl;dw: "Looks like a college Spring Game for a guy who just arrived on campus. You cannot do that."
  16. Honestly... I think the NIL money flipping Banks was the first pebble in the recruiting avalanche. Simms (to rehash the old argument) was that guy under Brown; if we don't get Simms, we don't get... a huge number of recruits who eventually helped us win in '05. But when in the aftermath of the Sark era, I don't think we'll see it as Banks nor Ewers. We'll see it as Manning. At least Manning, for now, isn't getting the Simms treatment. Manning's going to make mistakes, though. And I'm not looking forward to what happens when he does.
  17. As if this was the first tangent in this thread... 🤣🤣🤣
  18. I don't know if there's any new ground to cover here. In the days before NIL and the portal, coaches had a huge amount of power over kids' futures, and many successful coaches used that to drive their teams hard. Some of these guys were successful. Urban is a particularly awful example of this. I don't think very many coaches are like him, and I'm glad the era where a guy like that COULD be successful is over. The new reality is that coaches actually have to be good coaches to succeed. You have to be someone guys want to play for. Bob Stoops, Nick Saban, Pete Carroll, Kirby Smart and Sark fit that mold. And if you don't agree with me, take a look at comments their former players have about them. They're ADORED by em. Meanwhile, we had two guys off the Meyer coaching tree... how'd that work out for us? Anyway, fuck Urban Meyer
  19. Senjutsu, man.
  20. I'm enjoying some of the better jokes in here and refining my block list. It's been a win for me.
  21. 100%. One of many reasons I will never put him on ignore.
