    But Haynes King didn't have any INTs today. He improved from Week 1!!

    Of course he didn’t have any INTs today. When you’ve got a National Championship winning head coach, who’s also a QB whisperer……. You come to expect progression such as this. Why do you think they gave him an extension? Coaches like that don’t grow  on trees. You gotta lock those types up

    Dude it’s obvious.   He will be fired for cause. NCAA investigation into last years class will make it easy enough.   Evidence of cheating will magically appear.   The only thing I’m surprised about is how fast it’s likely to happen.   

    I gotta believe he ran shit by his lawyer on the recruiting ordeal before it even started. Just doesn’t seem likely for a person who is going to receive $75+ million no matter what….. to risk it without assuring his actions don’t jeopardize future payment.

    It will be interesting to see if the aggies can make Jimbo hire a real OC. They can’t fire him. 

    Aggy has zero leverage. Kind of the issue with giving someone a guaranteed contract. When you tell someone that no matter what they do, they’ll get paid the same amount……. Any incentive for that person goes “poof”.  An up and coming coach MIGHT still bust his ass, in order to build a resume of success for future contracts. But one who’s on the tail end of their career???? Yeah fuckin right!! Dudes mailing it in more often than not, and won’t care or listen to anything others say.

     

     

    Unless aggy has blackmail on Jimbo, they relinquished any power they had over him by structuring his contract as they did. However, they probably had to structure it that way to wven lure him into that shithole. 
     

    Now….. we know that aggy illegally acquired their recruiting class last year. So there is blackmail dirt there. Just would depend on who’s involved and to what degree of knowledge certain people had. We joke and call Jimbo a dumb cuck….. but I’m venturing to think he stayed far enough away from last years recruiting fuckery to where it would allow for a “for cause” termination

    Jimbo ended the press conference with

    "The program is.. The program is still there"

    Well this comment makes it sound like he’s still got some work to do until he ensures it’s not. I’ll sure as shit enjoy the process though as he burns it to the ground.

    It was detrimental to end of game result. Thus, had to be thrown

    It hasn't been talked about much but our one big weakness today was the running game. Bijan was getting contact at the LOS every time. Sark's offense works so much better with a running game threat.

    IMO, sark was softening up their defense with Quinn chunking it around so that the run game could then attack. It was working successfully, but the injury to Quinn threw a wrench into the equation before the ability to attack via run was able to occur

    I hate to fucking lose the game but we were supposed to get BLOWN OUT!  The fact the team did not implode emotionally for a rout after Ewers went down shows a much greater mental toughness than in past years.  If you are not ecstatic with the defensive play you must have some sort of prior season memory loss.  The one thing I noted most from the first game was just the physical appearance of out DL.  More fit, less gut.   Just a really, really outstanding game played by the defense.  How they don't end up with a safety called by the referees was frustrating, but the played extremely well.  Almost winning the game on the last blitz gone awry. 

    The offensive line was able to go much more head to head than I thought they would.  Still too young to just line up and stuff the ball down folks throats, but much improved over last year and brimming with youth that will add more and more quality depth. Card performed well, especially considering he was hobbled early on in his day.  I think with a little more ability to move each play he would have ended up building more momentum.  But alas that was not to be the case. Hopefully his ankle will be better next week, but time to get #3 and #4 some more reps, as Ewers will be out a few weeks at the minimum.  

    It stings to come so close to greatness, but a lot of folks here would have been happy just to not get blown out.  I think from the emotional toughness in a game full of adversity and some calls really not going our way shows this team has emotionally stepped forward.  I think they proved physically they are a lot farther along than many of us had hoped.  It will be very interesting to see what this team looks like at the end of the season!

    Hook'em!

    Moral victories usually are just a fans way of coping with a loss. However, I thought a close loss would be more than acceptable, because the loss would only matter in a CFP scenario…… which is a position I felt was unattainable this year. I wanted a good showing in order for respect to be put on our name. 
     

    Now, fully comprehending the way this played out…..you take away that Ewers injury and that CFP scenario is very much in play. Shit sucks, but we have to accept and overcome. We are ahead of schedule. Horns up, baby!!

    Interesting comment form Sark in his presser - he said the game plan didn't change when Quinn got hurt, but it DID change when Card got hurt and couldn't move around.

    He is aware that we saw the game, right?
