  1. Their receivers are catching that shit and ours are dropping bread in the baskets.
  2. It is getting very difficult for me to keep up what I am supposed to be bitching about.
  3. I hope they replay that drop on ESPN over and over.
  4. We are going to get rolled in the second half.
  5. I'm on the fence but from where I sit, I'm right.
  6. I don't disagree with this thought process, and I am not holding a pitchfork yet either. I too look forward to seeing what Sark can do in year 3, but I have some major concerns that are seemingly unrelated to player personnel age or experience. I think Sark at times has done more damage than good in game management, play calling, overall game strategy, second half production (or lack thereof) and the general ability to lose close games. This is a pattern he needs to break and break consistently and convincingly. Will that come with experienced personnel? Maybe, but it also comes with coaching. He needs to improve as a head coach as much as the players need experience. The most frustrating thing about Sark is we can get up on an opponent and the whole crowd, or people watching at home, announcers, etc. can feel the momentum shift to the opponent and he (or the staff) can not for the life of them figure it out (or the personnel weren't coached in the first place to overcome it). It is immensely frustrating, and too frequent to be an anomaly. I hope execution by experienced players makes a difference. I feel like there is sizable improvement, even though I feel the results are not sizable. (The Tech and osu losses loom large). Beat Baylor and win our bowl game and I will feel much better about our situation and Sark in particular. In the end, the only thing anyone will measure him by is wins and losses. How we perform against Baylor is a huge indicator about how I will feel about him going into next season. All that being said, Sark's ability to manage the portal is going to be huge for his future success. In this day and age, youth is not going to cut it as an excuse, when portal transfers are going to be readily available.
  7. I'll welcome him for the additional bonus of aggy going from a stream of tears to pure mental breakdown. Although, I worry that they have hit the 5th stage of grief at this point: Acceptance.
  8. Not ideal. We are shooting ourselves in the foot and their D is getting a lot of penetration. Need to jump to a big lead. Feels like a game we could get ref screwed if its close.
  9. It's not as much how many get hurt as it is WHO gets hurt.
  10. We had 8 first downs total in the entire 2nd half, prior to the last drive (all 3 plays were 1st down complete passes on the final drive). Of those 8 first downs: 6 were runs for 14 yards total. (Bijan 1yd, Bijan 1yd, Roschon 2yd, Bijan 1yd, Bijan 4 yrds, Bijan 5 yrds. 2 were incomplete passes. So only 2 of those 8 downs could you say we were reasonably effective.
  11. I am cross posting this from the Hudson Card thread: In the Second half here were our drives: 4 Plays 8 yards. Turnover on Downs: 8 yards (After one of our 4 down stops on Tech) 1 pass attempt: Complete 5 yards. We ran up the middle on 3rd and 4th down. 8 Plays 75 yards 40 yard TD by Bijan. Card was 2 of 3 on the drive for 23 yards and a 22 yard scramble. 3 Plays 2 yards Punt. Card was 1 of 2 for 0 yards. 3 Plays -1 yard Punt. Card was 0 for 2. 5 Plays - 17 yards Punt. Card was 0-2 and we only got a first down because of a pass interference call, otherwise another 3 and out. 5 Plays - 46 yards FG. Card was 3 for 3 for 46 yards. They went for it on 4th down repeatedly because we couldn't move the ball in the second half. They stacked the box and stopped the run and dared Card to make a difference. He didn't. I am not saying our defense didn't suck ass on 4th down attempts. They did but we damn sure didn't do anything to convince them going for it on 4th down at midfield was a bad idea. There is blame to go around everywhere.
