  1. Note to self: Never ask Not a Sock to recommend hot chicks...
  2. This is where I'm at. It all comes down to us and FSU. If FSU wins, we're out. If they lose and we win, we're in.
  3. He fits the profile the need to fill. He was once good enough that they could get excited about the possibility of future success, no matter how unlikely. Has no viable alternatives so would take the job. It seems like a match made in heaven.
  4. Luckily for aggy, there isn't one agent with a near monopoly on top tier coaches who knows first hand what went down between them and Stoops.
  5. That's how I feel about the argument that being the full time play caller is somehow unrelated to questionable game management. He's the head coach - game management is his job.
  6. I usually had rah rah shit like Herman's gold teeth and row the boat, but I love that Sark sent Sweat and Murphy out for the coin toss and then made the team listen to Yormark clips in the locker room. This team has a ton of talent, but hasn't consistently played with an edge. That hasn't been a problem the last two weeks.
  7. I agree. We've consistently had DTs improve year over year. Sweat had questions about his motor and weight as recently as last year and now he's on On3's heisman list.
  8. That's not how Tech (or aggy) is wired. They don't have letdown games against Texas. Unfortunately for them, being motivated usually isn't enough to win in Austin.

    9-1

    Early in the season it was the opposite. In fact the talking heads were saying how we get stronger as the game goes on and win the 4th quarter. I don't know exactly what happened since then but I'm reasonably sure attrition through injuries plays a part. People compare UT's close games to Georgia against Auburn or South Carolina, etc. The difference is that Georgia starts slow and and then turns it on and pulls away. They outscored South Carolina 21-0 in the second half and outscored Auburn 17-3 in the last 16 minutes of the game. Michigan has had some slow starts and then blow out their opponents. That's a "normal" pattern when dominant teams play cupcakes. Texas is just weird this year.
  11. Jimbo's got some free time this weekend.
  12. He needs to let someone else call plays. When things start going wrong, he can't problem solve on his own.
  13. I have had this same thought. How can he be so good at taking away other teams' strength and then struggle against what should be their weakness? Holding KSU to 30 yards rushing should have been a blood bath and then Howard has a career passing day. PK struggles after he gets exactly what he wants.
  14. This. I don't know what folks were expecting. MM looked amazing until midway through the second quarter, made some spectacularly poor decisions and melted down. That's what you'd expect from a redshirt freshman with 1 career start. Look at KSU's freshman QB. He threw one pass that probably should have been intercepted and didn't play again. Arch would have had his share of WTF plays had he started. There's a reason coaches avoid playing freshman QBs if at all possible.
  15. I'm 48 and creakier than I used to be. Every time Brooks gets up after being tackled, he looks like me getting off the floor. I can't tell when he's hurt and when he's just doing his old man standing up impression.
  16. I'd trade their season last year for ours in a heartbeat. So sure, I'm jealous of their season. Just not their coach, team, city, future, etc.
  17. I recognize that I am biased - I don't believe the head coach should call plays. That said, this gets parroted because Sark's title isn't offensive game planner and play caller. It's head coach. Sark the head coach isn't able to step in a tell Sark the play caller not to do dumb shit like run it 4 times on the goal line.
  18. Harbaugh: "Why did you give me a 30 page transcript of what looks like a cooking show?" Staffer: "Coach, that was Leach walking his QBs through their game plan for tomorrow."
  19. That's more than a 300% increase from their previous game. If they keep this up, every single person in the country will tune into their final game against UCF.
  20. I hear what you're saying - it's hard to point to instances where Quinn took over a game. The second half against Alabama is probably the closest, though it's not like Quinn carried the team. A bunch of guys stepped up. And that's the issue - from what I can tell, Sark wants someone to run his system. If everyone does their job, no one needs to be the hero. Sark wants an efficient bus driver rather than superman. And Quinn's been driving the bus pretty well.
  21. I understand what Michigan is accused of doing. I'm also absolutely positive I don't give a shit, regardless of what the rule is.
