    I look at Dustin Johnson as a case study for LIVs impact to players. Since getting his $100M or whatever, he's basically mailed it in and is going through the motions. Seemingly he doesn't give a fuck how he or "his team" performs in the LIV tourneys. He stopped giving a fuck about Ryder or Majors. He made his retirement money. He'll show up whenever they have tourneys and cash his check. I think this is the case for most of the bigger names who have jumped to LIV. They know no one is watching.

    If the PGA dies, I'm still not watching that shit. 

    I posted this in the Saudi tour thread, Pat Perez summed up the players sentiment about LIV: “I got paid, I don’t give a damn.”

    The only one that seems to genuinely care about it is Bryson. He seems to honestly think LIV is legitimately cool and that people actually care about how he and his team perform, which is completely unsurprising. 

  2. This sucks. Everything about LIV is cringy. The product is garbage. The forced team aspect is stupid. The fake party atmosphere is dumb. 

    They just have enough money that they can throw any amount of money that it’ll take to buy stars. The players don’t care that no one watches them anymore, they have half a billion dollars and all they have to do is show up. 

    Pat Perez said it best about how serious these guys take the competition in LIV: “I got paid, I don’t give a damn.”

    Honestly, just Yurcich. He was excellent at OSU, hard to say how much at Ohio State was his doing but it was a good gig, did a very creditable job at Texas dealing with Herman's bullshit, and then hit Penn State and sunk.

    Most of it is we saw all of the standard hallmarks of James Franklin teams - tissue soft culture, crying in the fetal position against actually good teams, etc.

    He was excellent at OSU, I was excited when PSU hired him, despite what most on this board thought of him. Has any OC at OSU under Gundy not looked excellent, tho?

    Part of the frustration with Yurcich this season was a failure to lean into the team’s strengths, namely RB, TE, OL, a complete lack of creativity in the passing game, and an extreme aversion to stretching the field vertically. Some of which stems from just not having the players at WR. a lot of the blame in the personnel problems at WR on Franklin. Some of the blame is on Cephas reportedly coming into the season out of shape and unable to learn the playbook. Part of the blame is on Allar for not being accurate enough on 10 yard passes to move the chains. The play calling seemed unimaginative and predictable, especially in big games.

    The problems on offense definitely stretch beyond Yurcich’s coordination but it just felt like he knew that in 10 of 12 games he had the talent to just lean on the other team with a vanilla playbook and his defense would get the ball back enough that the other teams would wear down. And then they approached OSU and UM the same way. 

    It just felt like a very scared, risk-averse offense. And there’s a good chance that philosophy came the whole way from Franklin, but it clearly fed all the way down to how Allar looked and played all season until after he was fired. 

    There were so many problems with the offense this season and he was only one of the problems, but Franklin’s not going to fire himself. 

    I expect Yurcich could have had long term success at Penn state and I’m sure he will at his next stop.

    Moorehead was maybe the best OC he's had. 

    I think he was by a pretty wide margin.

    James Franklin is prepped and ready to ruin another promising OC's career

     

    Donovan - followed Franklin from MD to Vandy then Vandy to PSU, fired after 2 seasons

    Moorhead - left after 2 seasons to be HC

    Rahne - left after 2 seasons to be HC

    Ciarrocca - fired after the covid year so Franklin could hire Yurcich

    Yurcich - fired this year - we can poll the board to determine if he was a promising OC while he was at Texas 

    Which promising OCs career did he ruin?

    true  but i see a 10% chance that michigan fucks up against Iowa  I dont see the same chance Ohio loses* to iowa

    As hilarious as that would be, Iowa is just too bad on offense. PSU has a bad offense and the time of possession in that game was 46:00 - 14:00

    It’s better for us if Bucs win, correct?

    I don’t think it matters. The winner is in, the loser is out. I don’t see any scenario where the loser gets in.

    I don’t understand why Michigan ruins their helmets with helmet stickers.

    I don’t understand why anyone older than grade school needs a sticker for a good job.

    Sounds crazy but Oregon and Washington are going to come in and shit all over this no offense playing conference. 
     

    pac12 defenses may be deficient but the big 10 is so slow on both sides of the ball

    Came here to predict that it will be a defensive game and the general consensus here will be that that both of these teams are dog shit because it’s not 45-40. 

    And then both teams will put up 40 in their bowl game.

    FUCKING FINALLY OUR NIGHTMARE IS OVER

     

    That’s the first time the Steelers have fired a head coach or coordinator since 1941. 

    That’s how historically bad Canada is. 

  10. So the board, which by design had no financial interest in the success of the company, was willing to blow up the company because of reasons they haven’t really disclosed in the interest of OpenAI’s mantra that AI “should be an extension of individual human wills and, in the spirit of liberty, as broadly and evenly distributed as possible.”

    Them firing Altman and Brockman likely ends up driving all of the talent to Microsoft ensuring that the developments they make, rather than being as evenly distributed as possible, end up entirely in the hands of 1 corporation. 

    Brilliant. 

  11. OpenAI corporate structure

    The most popular theory seems to be that Altman was pushing the nonprofit research tech into profit generating products faster than was desirable for the stated values of OpenAI the nonprofit and repeatedly deceptive to the board about it. Microsoft, owning 49% of the for profit segment of OpenAI was, unsurprisingly, upset about Altman being canned, was pushing hard for the interim CEO (previously head of the for profit group), to reinstate Altman.
