  1. Without being being too CR. I enjoy pointing out gayness to people, like the aggy ilk, who have an aversion to it. I have a buddy who, when his son was growing up, would tell me how Jr only hangs around girls. He was so proud of that. Even though it wasn't for the reason he wanted it to be. It was obvious to everyone else. He ignored it. Much like aggy ignores what is going on here. I could care less about it. However, because aggy clutches its pearls at the thought of gayness, and aggy reads this thread like we do Texags, I will continue to point out their behavior.
  2. Well, it doesn't matter what running play you are using when you add a read to it you are effectively taking one player off the field on defense because they are always going to be wrong. That said, counter trey(or gt counter) has been around long before the Caleb Williams' of the world, and should still work as it is meant to get numbers on one side of the field. In this case the backside DE whom they are reading shouldn't be able to chase down the play from behind regardless if the QB isn't a runner. For Riley, the problem is his teams aren't physical. No matter what they run. When USC runs up against capable, physical defenses linemen are pulling and getting stood up. People aren't defeating their blocks. They are just losing at the point of attack. Case in point, vs ND USC RBs ran 20 times for 73 yards which is 3.65 yards per. That is already bad, but when you add in that of those 73 yards there was one big 31 yard run that makes it 19 carries for 42 yards, or 2.2 per. That's horrible. Notre Dame is 51st in rushing yards allowed per game.
  3. This is who repped you......lol
  4. I knew what was coming and I still cringed!! lol
  5. While I can appreciate LR's play design/calling that is but one facet of his job. His main job is HC, and that entails making sure both sides of the ball are competent. I won't lie when I say as a Horn I wasn't happy to see him go. You guys were potent offensively but your defense would always allow for a opening to beat you. There is nothing more frustrating than an "almost there" guy. Those kind of guys are hard to fire. If I were you I would be glad he is gone too. That's what Tom Herman was going to be. We dodged a bullet there too.
  6. Coaching works the same as the draft does. "We think you will do this during your tenure here so we are paying you this". Whether or not they accomplish the goal remains to be seen. It's all based on potential. Some of the "overpaid" coaches got that because the school was scared they might get poached.
  7. Which is why I thought it was weird so many of you wanted him to beat Sanders. Undefeated Lanning is unbearable.
  8. Who had USC getting throttled by ND on their bingo card?
  9. But the difference is Jimbo is.......... A southerner
  10. It really was a joke man. I was just fucking around. It's never been that serious. My bad if I overstepped.
  11. Here at the game with my daughter's club team. Should be a good one.
  12. Not beating anyone up. In fact I am watching Card vs OSU now.
  13. The problem with CU is they cannot run the football or play defense. Bad combination. Their games are pretty much all on Sanders right arm. They rushed 227 times for 604 yards. To put that in perspective Brooks has run 108 times for 704 yards by his damn self. Sanders popped a 38 yard run and they only had 132 yards rushing. Lol
  14. In some guys yes. Worthy and those other guys who've been here a minute are what they are, but guys like Campbell who are just getting playing time will get better. The one thing I can appreciate about our staff is they develop guys and are solid at evaluation.
  15. Most of the players in the portal are shit. Last year we took 7 and only 2 have really seen the field. This year we went 3 for 5 with Cat, Mitch, and our punter. 5 out of 12 isn't a good hit rate when you are 1-11 and turning over your entire roster.
  16. Yes. Some SurlyHorns were comparing Card's numbers, after starts vs UTSA, Tech, and WVU to who Ewers had to play against. Or you know....apples to oranges. Lol. I said then that it wasn't really comparable. I was told Quinn sucks, especially by Derka, and that Card was a much better player because of numbers vs totally different teams, just like the first post I quoted. So I am just operating inside the guidelines I was given. Don't hate the player...you know the rest. I have no problem with Card. I wish him the best. Just as I wish Murphy the best when he leaves.
  17. It's the off week and I'm petty..... Remember when a bunch of posters thought Card was better than Quinn? And this is after Purdue's played Fresno State, V-Tech, Syracuse, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa. Wait till after OSU and Michigan roll through.
  18. As long as they keep trotting out that defense every game will be a dogfight.
  19. Agreed. Man! I do miss Bojangles when I used to live on the east coast. Cajun biscuit for the win sir!!
  20. When are the corporate schmucks gonna realize that black people don't go to KFC?
  21. But they ran him enough to get him knocked out before the RRS last yr.
  22. Black people have a saying-"I got time today". We use it when someone is out of pocket and instead of ignoring them we invite the confrontation. What you said is idiotic because it can be applied to every coach that is a good playcaller/designer. Good playcalling is both about play design AND breaking tendency and its most effective the more unexpected it is. If all we were trying to do is play "safe" football we would be running Woody Hayes three yards and a cloud of dust offense. However, if you want to score you need to have some creativity, and that creative lends itself to the aesthetics you mentioned. The problem with your theory is that aesthetics are subjective. Someone like you would tell Steph Curry to quit shooting 30 footers, because in your opinion his game is built around being flashy. He has 4 rings and is the greatest shooter of all time. I don't think he would lend you an ear. Newsflash, Jordan was a flashy player too-6 rings. In 2008 the Washington Huskies scored 16.1 pts per game. The very next year they scored 26.1 when Sark arrived. When he left there they were scoring 37.9, and the very next year they dropped to 30.2 pts per game. In 2013 USC was scoring 29.7 before Sark and 35.8 his first year. The year after he left they dropped to 34.4. In 2018 Bama was scoring 45.6 pts per game and 47.2 when Sark came aboard. Sark left scoring 48.5 pts per game, and the very next year they dropped to 39.9. Coincidently that 2020 scoring average is the highest Saban has ever had. Texas is the only college Sarkisian has ever been where he didn't immediately improve the offense, and that's only because 2020 was an abbreviated season and Covid. Scoring was up all over the big12. So you see your complaining about a guy who improved offensive numbers at every stop he made in the CFB is akin to telling Steph Curry to quit shooting jumpshots. We are number 13 in total offense after having played OU and Alabama, two top 15 scoring defenses. Your whole argument is based on a guy who's offense got us the lead with a minute left to play. Go over to the defense thread and bitch about aesthetics over function. At least there you would have a leg to stand on. Now please enjoy this offering by Moneybagg Yo. It's on topic.
