    I’ve gotta say, I was very suspect on that Kenny Baker hire, both Collins and Broughton have improved. Hope he can continue on that trajectory.

    Norton has also improved over the season. I don't remember hearing Lole's name last night, but he played really well against Kentucky. The d-line gets better every week.

    Our offense is bad enough to lose to anyone. Interesting times. 

    The offense isn't bad, Ewers is schizophrenic. He looked really good in the first half and then had two awful turnovers. Texas can get away with that against Kentucky and aggy, but not Georgia, Oregon, etc. Fortunately, the o-line is getting better each week and the run game is much more reliable than the first half of the season.

    This is fucking classic aggy copium... "...haven't had a SEC night game EVER."!!!

    Right, so somehow this will be magically different from the 'Bama game last year.

    Fucking morons.

    Bama didn't count... Because reasons.

    I wouldn’t mind seeing Florida turn their season around and also get Ffrench. We don’t compete with them for recruits so them being good doesn’t hurt us, but it would hurt Georgia/Bama/Tennessee. Enemy of my enemy is my friend situation. 

    I don't speak Helobious, but I believe he's trying to say he wouldn't mind seeing Ffrench go to Texas and Florida win out.

  5. I suspect PK's defenses look worse when measured by success rate than scoring or other metrics. He'll give up yards and first downs, but the other team will have to earn them. Teams will have a bunch of 4-8 yard gains, but can't string enough of them together to score. It seems once a game the other team puts together a long TD drive where they convert several third downs and an explosive play or two. It's frustrating to watch, but not many teams can do it consistently. Arkansas only did it once. More often than not, Texas gets a turnover, a sack, a tackle for loss. That's exactly what happened when Collins forced the fumble.

  6. His career after beating Georgia has to be one of the worst coaching flame-outs in history. He was 39-14 over 4 years as a head coach with two top-10 seasons (2015 and 2019) and a Sugar Bowl win. Then he gets fired by Texas two years later, has a cup of coffee in the NFL, and gets fired by Florida Atlantic in less than 2 years for going 6-16. Lots of guys fail to live up to expectations, but dayuum!

    Plenty of guys had success and didn't pan out:

    • Guys who had success at a lower tier and couldn't win at a higher level - Charlie Strong, Scott Frost, a bunch of other guys
    • Cavemen who caught lightening in a bottle - Gene Chizik, Ed O
    • Guys who were in the right place at the right time - Sonny Dykes, Dave Aranda
    • Terrible human beings - Art Briles, Joe Paterno
    • Addiction - Sark at USC

    How many coaches went from success at the highest level to G-5 schools that quickly based solely on their record and personality?

  7. This is what LSU gets for trying to be something it's not.  It's like a bizarre inversion of reality where reading at a third grade level makes you more successful. It makes no sense most places, but Louisiana isn't most places. They need someone like Les Miles or Ogre. You know... morons. 

    Also, too, I hope they keep Kelly forever.

    They all do this to a degree but his inability to pick up a block anywhere 2 yards or more past the LOS is irritating as fuck.  Just runs all around, never touches anybody.  Difference between short gains and big runs.

    I giggled when Jesse Palmer said you couldn't execute a RB screen any better. And then the replay shows Conner just running around not really doing anything downfield.

    I have bad news, Ousux, Georgia and Vandy willingly gave the edge to Texas in those 3 games as well. 

    Huh? I think you misspelled intermediate passes over the middle. Georgia's game plan was to stay disciplined/ignore misdirection, pressure Ewers, and tackle. The exact opposite of willingly giving Texas the edge. They executed it really well, which meant there were opportunities deep if Ewers could find them. Vandy tried to do the same with worse athletes and tackling.

    Don’t pin that shit on the rb’s and Ewers.   That was a straight up ass kicking of the OL.   Cam Williams was the most visible of all getting his ass beat but the others had their moments as well.  

    There's plenty of blame to go around. Sark sucked, Ewers sucked, the OL sucked. Basically, the whole offense sucked.
