  1. English - how do it work? You can execute but you don't... more of an oxymoron than a reason. Maybe go back to practice versus game? I don't know what the practices are like, but they must be toally without the slightest real game level physicality, because apparently the coaches think they are executable... despite having never seen it work in games all season long. Yessir, we gotta call something - but that doesn't mean using the plays that work once in every ten tries.
  2. Blaming lack of execution by players is weak. Designing, practicing, and calling plays that players can't execute is the problem. If the line can't handle that set of plays, then DON'T FUCKING CALL THOSE PLAYS. It is coaching failure to practice those plays and not be able to see that your guys can't do it.
  3. Several of the talking heads have made a point of Sark's play calling as being "too cute"... and I think a lot of us agreee with that assessment. It factors into our losses this season. We had at least two weeks of the pre-season working on the tOSU game. And lost. Next we had two weeks to get ready for the Florida game. And lost. Now we had two weeks to prepare for UGa. And lost. It seems that if he has too long to work on a game plan, Sark winds up with a playlist with an extra week full of clever cuteness. Then when the opponent kicks us in the nuts, instead of falling for the game plan and running the wrong way, we have no answer. Maybe we need to pivot into fundamental ass-whipping mode instead of more or different cuteness.
  4. Considering last season, he might be right. We're fixin' to find out.
  5. Which way?
  6. All good on the Last Frontier. 5 by 5. Enjoying Saban's insights, as usual.
  7. All things considered, Sark's biggest problem seems to be that he still chases Coordinator Glory. Until he realizes that he's pursuing a subjective title (Best OC) and changes to the objectivity of full-spectrum Scoreboard Dominance, we're almost certainly going to continue to see a couple of WTF performances every season.
  8. Hyperbolic Morons - another pick'it amongst band name, song title, and motto.
  9. Not much of one. The bottom line is ... unclear. I think Sark may have figured out that while he isn't necessarily on a hot seat, he is in a position where he needs a W. Close but no cigar won't be close enough.
  10. Court Jester was pretty funny, and a couple of good-looking women in Glynis Johns and Angela Lansbury (yeah, she was younger once). Personally, I laughed at Danny Kaye in several movies, and The Inspector General was a lot funnier. The "pocketa-pocketa-pocketa" in Secret Life of Waler Mitty was straight outta the book - I still hear it anytime Danny shows up on a screen...
  11. Judging from the expressions, I'd think there might be a Wide Receiver in the mix.
  12. "Angry people win football games." -- some old guy.
  13. Hmmmm... probably true, but I think the situation calls more for John Moses Browning.
  14. I've not encountered it anywhere, so I figured it doesn't happen. But, damn, it seems like a pretty obvious method of getting into a situation where a school can ditch a coach and put him into a position of being amenable to a negotiated exit.
  15. I've asked, but never seen an answer, whether coaching contracts do or might contain language allowing the school to assign the head coach to another position (keeping the salary, of course) and/or to assign another person to a position of authority over the head coach? I mean, you know, like like like, you know, not "you're fired" but like "you aren't running the team any more, asswipe, go stand over there and keep your mouth shut." Somewhere in the Contracts there are clauses relating to insubordinate behavior...no? Probably within a page or two of the Morality clauses?'
  16. Was thinking about working that in...
  17. Kelly couldn't catch a bottle full of lightning if it hit him in the hands.
  18. Why would you not say that?
  19. Be fair: Thread of Invoking is a decent band name, especially in Luzyanna, although probably better used in Voudon contexts.
  20. Napoleonic Code says "pourquoi non?"
  21. I've got a bit of optimism. I think we can win, but it'll take errybody playing well, not another one where offense or defense or specials fuck up and the other two carry the load and prevail. If all three play well, we win. Any one of them establishes pooch-screwing, and we likely lose... two eat shit and we definitely take the L. Bottom line: there are multiple scenarios that end with a W for the Good Guys, and I won't be surprised at either outcome.
  22. English... how do it work?
  23. So... no Morality Clause in Kelly's contract? Maybe just no proof of violations (yet)...
  24. Something like "awwwww, shit"? It's not what they could say, rather what yje could actually do about it. That could be the holdup on the purchase. Mouse already basically owns SEC. Would be interesting to see the effect if CBS et al quit carrying SEC games. Maybe there's some relationship between broadcast and network...
  25. Was talking about this whole fuckup, and someone opined that the intent of The Mouse is to keep things shitty untill his purchase of NFL network is approved, which gives him almost complete control of all Football. WTF?
