6'-4", 330# Guard

We lost 6 offensive linemen and got one back. This is a huge issue. We better hope we get the young guys coached up fast. The good thing is Muschamp's defense will help the linemen get ready for the season. I am a firm believer that the reason Colt's O-line was decent despite the lack of talent was because they had to face Boom's defense everyday.

No one is saying sark isn’t trying right now, but his flaws are fatal absent some heroic football by some of the guys on and coming to the roster. Frankly, it wasn’t much different the last two years either there were just better players so Texas got closer.
@Hank_Hill knows what's up, he is just an optimist when it comes to recruiting. I am not.
We've been shit at evaluating inside offensive linemen all of Sark's tenure here. Now the same people who missed on evals the first time are in charge of making a second evaluation. We portaled in Keilan Robinson, AD Mitchell, and Golden. We've not portaled in a single O-lineman that can help us. Again, skill players don't help if you can't block enough to get the ball. WE HAVE TO GET SOME LINEMEN.

Lol. Why do you 9.95 guys think people aren't informed? We don't post over there because its a shitshow, not because we aren't informed. We are where we are because of Sark's ideology and nothing more. Sark and Flood are too busy measuring arms and scale watching to be bothered with watching some tape. Michigan isn't the only team with O-linemen.
Poona Ford and Lamarr Houston couldn't play for Sark and Flood if they were linemen. Portal is open 6 more days.

36 minutes ago, Hank_Hill said: Ok uhhh first off holy shit hot take. Secondly that statement has nothing to do with our efforts on offense both in retention and the portal. Goosby took effort. Brown took effort. Going after the #1 portal prospect in Coleman is taking effort. Bringing in 5 OL visitors (so far) and shooting our shot took effort. Some more OL success is certainly needed though.
Lets highlight what the definition of "effort" is in this situation. Effort is opening your checkbook. Seems we need to prioritize our effort level in the area of most need. Coleman doesn't help you if Arch spends the whole game staring at contrails. Brown doesn't help you if the opposing defensive line is there to closely monitor the handoff goes well.

No idea what Wisner was able to fleece out of Florida St, but that’s a RB that has yet to crack 700 yards in a season demanding top end pay and desperate coaches/programs paying it….. it’s dumb. To prioritize HS we’ve somehow got to lock in multi year deals.
How much did Tre get from FSU? and how much were we paying him?

He talks like he's really smart, but all he does is state the obvious. #1 rule of FB, a good running game starts with a good OL. Sark has yet to put together a difference making OL. He was able to hide it with Bijan and to a lesser extent Brooks.
That's why many of us are so frustrated, the answer is obvious, but it still hasn't been resolved and unless there's something major in the next few days the problem will still exist next season.
Man, fuck all that Coleman shit. I would really make some linemen have to tell me no. I would rent 5 fucking mansions. "This is the left tackle's house, left guard's house, center's house, and so on".
"This is Alfred. He will take care of anything you need"
"This is Jeeves. He will take you anywhere you need to go".
"Here is Cinnamon's number, and here is her <menu>. You like redheads? She recommends Tanya. Oh, you like weird shit. She says call Jane. Her safeword is pineapple".
"Each house has two master's for you and the backup Left tackle. Starter calls the shots. "
"Here is your parents' travel package complete with accommodations and game tix".
"You have an issue with someone around town? Text Nicole the person's name followed by the words "Town Lake".
We would have the best O-line in the country. Opt out for the NFL? Fuck all that. Whole line full of 1st round seniors, too afraid to go to the league because it would "lower their lifestyle".

Cig isn't doing anything special, he is just making sure he has competency in all his units. That's it. No one is special. They just do their jobs.
Meanwhile all we needed to do is upgrade our line play. We had enough in the RB room with what's coming in and what we had. We had enough in the WR room. We just needed O-line and blew it all up for shiny objects that we didn't even get. Now we are gonna get the same caliber players that left and likely pay more for them. Just dumb.

Since you are are struggling to offer advice here I will step in....
Fuck em. Put some distance between you and them and make sure they understand why. My mother and father in law are long time Republicans that pulled the lever for the idiot who is currently in office. My teenage daughter asked her grandma how she could vote against her well being and literally told her how she was disappointed in her. The wife and I have made it extremely uncomfortable for them. My wife's parents, who are retired and have a lot of disposable income, rarely come around much. If that's the price to pay to get them to think about their actions then so be it.
We cannot allow people to exist in our orbit without drawing that line. Otherwise we are enabling them. Silence is collusion after all. Talk to your wife and put some space between you and them.
