  1. That is a poster who wants to send his kids to Baylor for the culture of the institution. I rest my case.
  2. For those who follow more closely, do we really like Zina as a prospect?
  3. I expect Alabama to win but I think the only outcome that would really, truly shock me is if Texas went out and won by virtue of rushing for like 200+ yards, playing ball control, and wearing the Bama defense down.
  4. I don’t really understand the calls for an OC anyway. Sark is renowned for his abilities as a OC. You don’t lean into his weakness by taking that away. You lean into his strength by featuring that and hiring whatever support you need on the game day management side.
  5. I think it is. I don’t think there’s going to be a serious push for getting rid of Sark if Texas goes 8-5.
  6. I mean Sark got humiliated at Arkansas, blew an 18-point lead with 17 minutes left against OU, lost the conference opener and last ever trip to Lubbock, got embarrassed in a crucial game at OSU, and egregiously out coached against TCU. OU last year was undeniably great but everyone knew Texas was kicking them while they were down once it was confirmed Gabriel wouldn’t play. The Alabama game is honestly the outlier in his big game history here. Credit for K State last year too, to be fair, but yeah. Herman’s teams tended to show up and compete in big games but take stupid losses elsewhere. Like how dumb is it that 2019 LSU, an all time great team that dominated basically everyone else they played, very possibly loses to Texas if not for Orlando’s overly aggressive zero blitz on third and 17?
  7. Herman was fired because he alienated every decision maker/power broker and no one wanted to keep him around. All indications are that the admin and the money like Sark, like the trajectory, and don’t have the appetite for a changing change heading into the SEC. Barring total disaster I’m willing to bet he’s here through 2025 at least.
  8. Hayden Connor should have been there to pick up the DL on the inside move. It was a nice move, but only there because Connor abdicated his assignment to turn his back and help in the opposite A gap. Banks was did what he is coached to do, kept his head up, maintained his gap, and let Connor pick him up
  9. I'm not necessarily saying they are bad coaches. Just saying that their two whole years with a loaded Bama team doesn't mean that the issues at hand aren't rooted in coaching, be that teaching, personnel decisions, and/or play calling.
  10. I think a 12-1 Clemson or LSU are both basically auto admits. 1-loss P5 champs don't grow on trees and their opening weekend losses would feel like ancient history. But I agree it's going to be a moot point. That Clemson team isn't beating all of UNC, Notre Dame, and Florida State x2. LSU is not going to win at Ole Miss, at Bama, and then go beat Georgia in Atlanta. Feeling pretty dumb on the Clemson pick. I've also felt the late-Mack Texas vibes from them in recent years but thought Garrett Riley would give them enough of a jolt to get through the ACC with one loss. Not going to happen.
  11. Have you considered that maybe Bama was pretty good before they got there?
  12. It’s possible because you can pop one long one and be close to that number. But I don’t think there’s any greater degree of sustained success running the ball, no.
  13. I do agree that some of the play calling was clearly viewed as practice. You don’t make that 4th down call on the first series in a game you’re worried about losing. You don’t kick the 56 yard FG your K probably can’t hit if you think you really need the points. Etc etc. my gripes are more with the larger pattern we’ve seen here over two plus years and apparent failure tit each fundamental pass blocking concepts on the OL.
  14. Of course, he’s billed as a QB developer and the QB appears to have made no progress. He calls the plays and is rigid with his approach as opposed to adapting to what he has. Similarly on the OL, you had a group of 5 starters, all oh whom played last year and 4 of whom started, that do not appear to have improved at all season to season. It’s one thing to lack physical ability but it’s another to be missing assignments your second or third year in the program. That points to ineffective teaching or stubborn personnel management if they are are electing not to play guys that can execute. The root issues at QB and OL are coaching.
  15. Ohio State getting penalized for opening with a conference game (and still winning by three scores) is so dumb.
  16. What, pray tell, gives you the impression this plan will survive any contact with reality whatsoever?
  17. If Texas can’t make it I want to see this simply for the meltdown
  18. Football game at 2:30 on September 2 is not enjoyable. In equally shocking news, I heard the sun rose in the east this morning. Just a rumor though. Hopefully getting away from FOX will nix the early season day games going forward - ULM, Bama, and Rice were all FOX. But as was mentioned in OP, profit > people and if you want the AD to do something about it then I hope you like being disappointed.

    Seemed to me like Majors didn’t have any of the egregious mental lapses in protection. Several instances of guards acting like they’d never even been introduced to the concept of passing off a rusher in their lives.
