  1. Yesterday’s game didn’t show anything about Sark learning, we just had a dominant run game against a horrible run D. His biggest issues are adjustments and figuring out the drop 8 defense. Neither of those came into play.
  2. The reason we struggled against TCU was because Sark wasnt throwing it side to side and intermediate where the gaps were. He was running it and throwing it deep, which is exactly why that defense is designed to stop. Quinn not throwing better deep balls isn’t why we lost to TCU. That was on Sark.
  3. The OL did play terrible, but I put a lot of the blame on Sark. TCU lined up in drop eight and then had their front sell out to stop the run. Sark played right into their hands and gave our OL a very difficult job for 3 quarters. It wasn’t until we started hitting WR screens that we forced the defense to back off and then everything improved. If Sark wasn’t so befuddled by the drop 8 D, our OL would’ve looked a lot better all game. Yeah, there wasn’t a single guy on offense who was ready to play that game. When every single person is playing terrible, I put that on the coaching first and foremost.
  4. This is a crazy stat. It never made sense to me why we wouldn't push the ball last year when we were a very athletic squad that would often get bogged down in our half court offense, but this year we're even more athletic with better ball handlers and we are killing teams in transition. The easy points were getting with our lock down defense is a lethal combo. I think the fast break points will go a long way towards making up for any shooting deficiencies we might have, and after last night's game, we might be a good bit better at shooting than expected.
  5. He averaged 15-9 with a 49/37/74 split his second year at Vandy. I said he was the best transfer we got last year, and I think I was right. I just didn’t realize it would take him a year to get healthy.
  6. This is the healthy Disu I thought we were getting last year. Dude is a beast.
  7. I’m still trying to process the first half I just watched. A coherent offense that pushes the pace combined with last year’s defense got me all like
  8. I don't think this is right at all. I believe they messed up their assignments on Quarters coverage and both went for the out route, instead of one of them staying on the post. By the time the QB threw it, there was absolutely nothing either of them could do. It was a busted coverage, not a lack of effort or giving up on the play. I refuse to go back and rewatch any part of that game, but my recollection is they were in quarters and the out route by #2 was deep enough that the safety should stay with him while the CB (Brooks) stays with #1 on the post. Brooks bit on the out route, likely not realizing that the stem was deep enough to keep the safety locked on #2.
  9. Having @BurntOrange&White and @Hookem2147 in the Jimbo 2023 thread debate the merits of Urban Meyer as Sark's replacement in an apparent grudge match ofwho can make the dumbest possible argument while Sark being replaced won't even come up for at least another 2 years at which time Urban Meyer will most likely not be a real candidate is peak Surly. All I can say is both of you absolutely belong here.
  10. This hits the nail on the head. They have deep cultural issues that go way above the team principal. Unless a new TP could come in and make drastic changes to fix that, it won’t really matter who the new guy is, and that’s not happening because part of the cultural issue is they won’t hire someone who will come in and make sweeping changes. Having said all that, I do think Binotto isn’t a good team principal. He’s an excellent engineer and a great Chief Technical Officer, but nothing about his background or performance in this role says he knows to manage an entire team. I’m not sure Vasseur is all that great of a TP either.
  11. Speaking of your other forums, how's @NowThis doing these days?
  12. Max is such a selfish dick lol
  13. Our secondary just isn’t coached well enough to be able to run this much quarters. Safety bites in the out when he needed to stay deep to receive the outside receiver while the CB switched to the out. KSU killed us with quarters beaters last game too.
  14. That was such a pathetic play by DTD. Just drifted inside for no reason at all.
  15. Basically, I think they delete multiple times, depending on the severity but they also usually set more times than in an F1 quali, so I think deleting the best lap time would be fair.
  16. JFC. Leclerc the only one out on Inters to start Q3 while it’s completely dry. Now Russell beaches his car and it’s red flagged. If it keeps raining Leclerc will qualify P10. Ferrari always inventing new ways to fuck up and screw Leclerc over. Also F1 needs to adopt the IndyCar rule for a crash in quali. No way Russel should get to qualify P3 after ruining the session.
  17. Not a single mention of Choate or PK anywhere in that post.
  18. Goatifi with 11 straight sessions not making it out of Q1. The man is trying to set records on his way out of the sport.
  19. Yeah, it’s unfortunate that our perimeter shooting doesn’t look to have improved, which makes sense with the personnel losses and additions, but us actually pushing in transition could be a huge boon to the offense. Being a poor shooting team AND refusing to ever push are why our offense would go so long without scoring. Id prefer to have a good shooting team, but since Beard clearly prioritizes other traits, we can at least get some easy points and prevent long draughts through pushing the ball.
  20. Not nearly enough squid emojis used for me to believe this.
  21. Hey, winning even one game in Omaha is legendary for aggy standards.
  22. Personally I’m rooting for 5-7.It’s bad enough to kill the outside perception but good enough for all those desperate Ags to talk themselves back into believing in Jimbo. I want Jimbo to dry at A&M as long as possible. This is like his stint at FSU if he stayed four years longer and never won the title. I never understand people who say this. There’s no amount of difficulty aggy can conjure up that will make Jimbo leave for anything less than his full contract amount. He holds all the cards, not the other way around. Exactly. If I’m Jimbo, I continue to burn the program to the ground and get them to pay even more than the guaranteed amount to leave early. This is aggy after all, they are the unquestioned number one at negotiating against themselves. Sexton might be able to just sit at the table in silence and walk out with $120 million.
  23. It definitely feels like there’s plays that we should check out of, but we don’t. Not sure how much falls on Sark versus Ewers.
  24. The NCCA has waived that rule for the past two years and even before when it was a rule, it was easy to circumvent. In other words, DONT WORRY ABOUT THE MOTHERFUCKING NUMBERS!
