  1. They called him "the Poly Whisperer" as far back as when he was at USC. It's a stupid nickname and not nearly as cool as Johnny Patron but he has historically killed it in that demo. Yes, I absolutely 100% expect Texas to see a major uptick in Polynesian recruiting.
    Look at these names:
    https://247sports.com/coach/johnny-nansen-735/alltimerecruits/
    That's great to hear, but he hasn't been here long enough to prove that yet, and a Poly already on the team transferring out (just speculation, nobody knows for sure) isn't a good start to the Poly-pipeline.

    I never understood why we don't do better at Euless Trinity, (Patrick Vahe is the only one, not the greatest player ever) but tbh their football program has faded in recent years.
  2. What the hell are you talking about? His new position coach / Co-DC is Samoan born who brought over a pacific islander transfer from Arizona and seems to be taking the lead on poly recruits across the board.
    That's great, what the fucking holy hell are you talking about? Someone (not me if you still have functioning braincells) puts Akana on the possible transfer list, I imply I'd rather he stay and progress and then you say he has a Poly coach and therefore we're suddenly going to clean up recruiting that demographic? I hope you're right, but Nansen has only been here a hot minute and those other schools have established pipelines
  3. aside from the short prison term for hotel theft or whatever it was, he had a dream life. 
    Was thinking what were the biggest live TV events of all time 
    9/11, JFK assassination coverage, the OJ chase.
     
    Guess you could add the moon landing to that, not sure it was live though. Wasn't the Branch Davidian siege in Waco televised? I watched a doccie and it included tons of TV footage.
  4. This may be a rather easy question, but I ask it without fear of reprisal, lol.
    Why is Akana listed on the depth chart at Sam?  At only 215, wouldn't Will be more appropriate?
    Or does it mean that he's not good in coverage?
    Since he hasn't played a single down and I haven't observed practice, really can't say. It's probably more about the strong Poly ties with me than Akana himself, I don't like USC, BYU, Utah and Oregon pretty much cornering the market on the best Islander/Islander heritage players.
  5. Wait. You were joking? You thought the shit you were typing was funny? 
    Also, you don't need to respond to every single person calling you an idiot. And if a ton of people are calling you a boring dolt, maybe shut the fuck up. You don't need to respond to every single person calling you out, Derka. 
    Not funny, just a throw away observation, but thanks for outing yourself even though I wasn't targeting you personally with that comment

  6. yes, it would literally take a Henry Rowengartner/Rookie of the Year style miracle to get his son drafted. even typing it out is fucking dumb, but again par for your course to even mention it.
    i would venture that this is the first time in the history of the internet someone has ever even hinted at him getting drafted - and it's you, of course.
    it's a dumb comment made by a guy with a long history of making dumb comments.
    I think YOU may be the only person on the Internet that would translate anything I said at any point to mean "I think Bo can get his son drafted" You seem to have a hard-on for anything I post lately, nothing I can do about that but say "glad I could help you get your rocks off" lmfao

  7. he isn't going to get drafted, stop posting dumb shit
    he isn't some raw high schooler. he's a RSJR who has been in college for 3 years and touched the field 8 times out of 22 games played.
    the career of Beau Davis so far:
    • 2020 as a recruit: #87 player in Michigan, reported offers from FIU and Florida Atlantic, went to a JuCo
    • 2021: East Mississippi Community College, played in 6 of 9 games, had 2 solo tackles and 7 assists
    • 2022: Southeastern Louisiana University, played in 2 of 13 games, had 0 solo tackles and 3 assists. was not one of the 5 DEs listed on their 2 deep for their last regular season game
    • 2023: I think he was at Southeastern Louisiana University, was not on the participation report for any games
    • 2024: going to be on the roster at LSU
    Nuance and innuendo don't compute in your brain very well do they. I imply it would take a miracle to get his kid drafted (if that was the main reason he left as reported by many) yet you throw me the kids entire history and say I'm the one saying dumb things? Ok chief, I'm sitting here in my office seriously trying not to bust out laughing, congrats.
  8. You're always welcome to take anything I type personally, but that post was attempting to help clarify and had no direct shots in it intended for you, sweetheart.
    I don't take yours or anyone else's posts personally. If I did I would have run away like several thin skins have done...and long before the Shag became Surly.
  9. Park Gothic is correct on the matter. Davis was offered an opportunity to return to a place he enjoyed for a lot of money in order to coach his son while hanging out with two of his best friends on the coaching staff. The guy has a ranch in Mississippi that he wants to be permanently living on within the next five years. LSU is his final job barring something insane and he took the chance to jump on it when they cleared the way for his kid. He didn't leave Texas due to any bad blood or problems with the program.
    Helicopter parents have been a part of the job in coaching since at least the days of Norman Dale, and probably further back than that. That said, it's not every player and it doesn't help those players with parents behaving as such. The bigger issue is when the player is bitching about shit that is just part of the grind and the parent is then whining about their baby's treatment. That gets really old. 
    My original post was in jest more than anything else, but I forgot this place is filled will humorless aspies who fixate only on stats and facts...and can't abide any speculation. Btw, I already acknowledged the fact I don't think helicopter parents made the difference in his leaving, but could have made the decision easier if said parents and player are above and beyond the usual delusion. I know coaches have to say all sorts of things to land a commit, and sometimes backing up the living room talk just isn't possible...but some parents (and/or player) will never get that through their skull and would rather trash the coach (or coaches) and school. I will say this: if Bo gets his kid drafted then he is more of a DL witch than I ever realized.
  10. Right, but what I'm saying is I think it had zero impact whatsoever. I doubt it was even a thought in his mind. 
    Of course neither of us can know something like that. I'm just thinking out loud. 
    Your last part says it all, both of us are speculating.

    I'd also speculate that dealing with the Mitchell family is probably an easier task than getting his own son significant PT at LSU, or enough to get him noticed by the NFL.
  11. I'm sure there are no helicopter parents at LSU.
    Bo's been coaching long enough I'm sure he's dealt with a few, but all it takes is one really persistent and annoying one to drive you crazy. Ever coached little league baseball, flag football, youth basketball etc? Take that and amp it up a few levels when a family is dependent on you to get their son in the NFL as a cash cow for the family.
  12. In all seriousness, what a fucking stupid decision these guys made. So glad nobody was killed by this idiocy and hope the 'culture' Sark talks about ad nauseam can prevent this from happening more. Austin is too high visibility of a city for these guys to think they can get away with the bs like they could in the backwater parts of the sec.
    You jest, but I can pretty much guarantee Tuscaloosa cops would recognize both players and simply treat the whole thing as a fender bender. Same in Starkville, Fayettnam etc..

  13. In what game did one of our players throwing Horns to the crowd result in a taunting penalty? I don’t remember that ever happening.
    I’m 57, BTW…
    I thought it was after a couple of our players got flagged for doing the guns up at tortilla tech...but I've slept a few times (and untold gallons of alcohol) since then.
  14. The more I think about it and I hate myself for thinking about it but if this was 2-3 years ago....hell no on Bear. But I think the team is in a good enough position from leadership perspective that it can overcome a shithead like Bear because Bear is pretty damn good talent.
    I'd feel a little better about it if Bo Davis really wanted Bear, idk enough about Brandon Baker to have the same confidence. Two high profile programs so far, not much production.
