  1. If only we had an OL.
  2. If you meet an asshole in the morning . . .
  3. When it comes to front-burner controversies, message board posters tend to be either hyper-positive or condemnatorily negative—seldom, if ever, is there ever any well reasoned in-between. And that's the way it is when it comes to Sark. As with most things in life, somewhere in between is where the truth lies. Sark brought us out of the Strong/Herman embarrassment and into the light with two consecutive playoff appearances. Then, he completely and irreparably screwed the 2025 season with this inexcusable abortion of an offensive line. I'm nowhere near a Sark apologist; this is his fuck-up and it's a bad one, a tenure-threatening one. Still, looking at the big picture: track record to date, cost of buyout and new-hire, internal AD/BOR politics, availability of a guaranteed upgrade, it's pretty obvious we’re going to be stuck with him for a while, like it or not. The best we can hope for is continued Big Cigar $NIL buy-in, a better plan for next year, and good luck in the off-season portal. But that’s next year. There’s still the rest of this year to endure and . . .
  4. I'm guessing that if we were a juggernaut he'd be quite content nursing that thumb on the sideline.
  5. Speaking of one of my all-time favorite Jags, how's his health? I haven't seen anything. Sure hope he's good to go Saturday.
  6. on3 says that Drevno's Wikipedia page was updated to show that he's been here since September 11th. In all likelihood, that means he's been here all this season, so we shouldn't look for any drastic changes or quick-fixes. Instead, this smells like a desperation "leak" by Sark's publicist, trying to show that Sark sees the problem and is taking steps to address it. Yeah, right. When you practice good-on-good, it's a zero-sum game. Sark & Co. evidently took those results to mean, "Since our DL is top-notch and the OL looks good against them, the OL must also be top-notch." Then a funny thing happened to the DL in Gainesville . . .
  7. "Clearly, the main problem this year is the OL--no push in the run game; inability to block a 4-man pass-rush; impotence in the red zone. Equally clearly, it won't get fixed this year. It is possible that Arch can improve with experience. It's possible that Sark can get his head out of his ass and call plays to suit our personnel, rather than the other way around. I don't see that possibility with the O-Line. It appears to me that the problems with coaching lie more in talent acquisition/development than everyday X's and O's. We simply don't have the talent. We struggled in our "wins" against three spares and got dominated against teams with a pulse (Florida's questionable here). That's on both Sark and Flood. It's going to be rough the rest of this season." --Captain Obvious
  8. Actually, he's gonna let a naysayer no.
  9. "Shoot low, Sheriff, they're ridin' Shetlands!"
  10. Don't forget he's a bought-and-paid-for aggy shill.
  11. Talk about a waste of time . . .
  12. The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies' room.
  13. Backwards? Shit, son, Mississippi gave us Charley Patton, Edward James House, McKinley Morganfield, Chester Burnett, and of course Riley B. King.
  14. It's not an urban legend; it was real. However, if I recall correctly, that was the number for the Fiji Lake House on Lake Austin, not a sorority house.
  15. I can play it round or flat: Cleaning out unproductive staff could have been a condition precedent to appointment as the interim. Alternatively, it could be the interim guy trying to turn things around for an inside shot at the permanent gig. Either way, it seems that AD buy-in before the firings had to be involved.
  16. Yeah, it's like all the Horns-down signs we saw on TV games this weekend when with us in a bye week. Rent-free, baby, rent-free.
  17. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln . . .
  18. Begs the question: How'd he get the one?
  19. What makes you think it was a two-step process?
