  1. Coach February would've been run off before 05. Major Applewhite would've been the QB over Simms. VY would've been moved to receiver. Colt McCoy would've been replace by John Childs. Will Muschamp would've been fired halfway through 08. The list goes on and on. We are an awful, entitled fanbase. Lol. I cannot wait until TCU's current crop leaves and we see what Sonny Dykes really has to offer. Remember when this fanbase was excited over Manny Diaz and his fire zones? Then every team realized we had no gap integrity and ran different variations of the same running play every week until he was let go? I do. Remember when we hired Todd Orlando? Lol
  2. And that's why you get lumped in the "12-0 if we only had made this move" crowd.
  3. And your "idea" that because KSU ran on them that we could is speculation. TCU loaded the box on us, run blitzed, and dared us to throw it. That is not how they played KSU, and KSU wasn't busting run blocks consistently, nor was their star running back dancing around in the backfield getting tackled for no gain. Using the phrase "If we had done this we would be 12-0" is largely hyperbolic(though there have been some that have suggested that) on my part, but you get the picture of why I said it. People watch another team do something and use it as proof that we could've. We are who we are. They are who they are. At this point in the maturation process of this team we can't run on teams that are physical at the point of attack the way Michigan can. We are the 03 Longhorns had they played an Alabama level team OOC. Struggling but promising freshman QB. Star running back got 13 carries vs Arkansas, and 12 carries vs OU. A lot of good pieces on the O-line but still young. Star wide receiver playing seemingly selfish ball on the way out the door, that we were trying to force the offense to. Defense largely good but had a couple wtf games.
  4. Point was made emphatically sir. I should not have been surprised.
  5. Agreed on all accounts but damn! Come down with one or two of them. Some of those hit guys in the chest. 9 picks on the year. I guess you are a bit spoiled from watching the 09 team have 23. Hell, Blake Gideon fell into 6 that year, but what else would you expect from a coach on the field.
  6. Just go to the Ewers thread and read about 20 pages or so. Or you can have this one from the Clemson-UNC thread.
  7. You don't "say" a lot of things, but you imply them. You also leave yourself a nice out too, which is a smart play. You and Anastasias should be friends. You guys run the same playbook. KSU has a better line than we do, and a JR QB who can kept TCU honest with the passing game. Thus they had a little more space to run the football.
  8. Hindsight is always 20/20. So of course we are irritated that a coach didn't do something different in a loss. However, Surly takes it a step too far sometimes. "If we had only pulled out the QB who went 6-2 for the QB who went 2-2, we would've gone 12-0" might be my personal favorite.
  9. They just keep kicking them don't they? Trying to save face? Can't think of another reason.
  10. Hey, if we changed out the guy who lost two games for the other guy who lost 2 games we would be in the CFP yall. Math.
  11. This is where I have been. The deep shots are the issue not the passing game in and of itself. Get it out of his hands quick. Use the short passing game as a running attack. TCU was going to demand we show them we could throw it before they came out of what they were in, and we don't have a good enough line to run against loaded boxes. We went to that and then penalties n drops happened. We have lost in a variety of ways. One way is dropping all the INTs we had our hands on. We probably dropped double digits this year. Shame our linebacker has better hands than the secondary.
  12. I would agree as I am also an old. I just get tired of the "if we did this ONE thing we would be 12-0" crowd. A lot of stupid factors contributed to our current record.
  13. We handed it to our Heisman candidate in OT vs Tech. How did that work out for us? Doesn't guarantee a win.
  14. We ran for over 200 yards on OSU and we put the ball in our best player's hands vs Tech and he fumbled it in OT. We lost both games. Of our 4 losses, TCU is the only game we lost with less than 30 carries. It doesn't mean simply because we run more we win is all I am saying. Other factors can contribute to that.
  15. We ran a bit of everything. Sometimes we get away from motion because the guys are false starting. However, we ran a bunch of stuff. I agree we should've run it more. I am saying Bijan was a large part of the problem. For all his greatness he doesn't always understand when its time to quit trying to hit the homerun and take the yards that are there. I can see how Sark got lured away from him. Of Bijan's 12 carries 8 of them were for virtually no gain. 1 for 1 yard, 6 for no gain, and 1 for a 1 yard loss. He was trying to dance and bounce runs when it wasn't there to do. Take the 3 or 4 yards and move on. As a playcaller that is extremely frustrating. Meanwhile TCU was plugging away the whole time. There was this misconception that TCU was running the same as we were, but they weren't. This is their yards gained each rush. -2, 5, 4, 6, 4, 2, 4, 2, 5, 2, 3, 5,-1,-1, 4, 6, 5, 12, 9, 2, 14, 5, 0, 1, 4, 6, 0, 11, 1, 7, and 4. TCU was always getting positive yardage in the run game outside of three runs in the first half and 2 in the second. My point to @lilMAC25 is that even if we had stuck with the running game in that particular game it doesn't mean we automatically win. Bijan wasn't seeing the field the way he usually does, and more carries may not have translated into more wins. It could've translated into more 3 and outs. It is all speculation. We ran it 33 times vs Bama and totaled 79 yards. Again, I agree that Sark should ride his two horses, just disagree that it would automatically mean a W, especially when your RB is struggling like he was.
  16. That wasn't the only reason, and Sark ALWAYS jumps on the grenade.
  17. On the rushes we DID have why didn't they work?
  18. So why do you think we couldn't run the ball?
  19. And therein lies the problem....you are just reading the box score.
  20. Everything is black and white to you guys. It's pretty amazing.
  21. That's pretty good form!!
  22. It's as though you've never seen a Brian Kelly coached team in a big game.
  23. Hey yall remember when posters were telling us how good Brian K was?
