The return of Cade Klubnick
Ha.

As noted - not the case, but if we have Palmer or Herbstreit on commentary, they will say that 100x, minimum.

IIRC, Texas eval concluded he was a system QB, etc. and we had Manning coming in 2023. While getting overwhelmed by UGA, Klubnick only was sacked 2x and threw 1 INT.

Booing Ryan Day. I'll allow it.

Workday rockstar ad makes me wonder if the ad folks really know what a rock star is. Billy Idol, Gwen Stefani, and Travis Barker. Ok. I guess they had to keep it on budget.

Geez. The selection show, so far, is a beating. Just announce it.

Excellent hire. Solid program builder that should be able to take them to bowl eligibility.
Totally agree. It will be interesting to see if he can get the majority of his staff to follow him there - esp Sherer and Marion.
From the outset, I thought Odom would be a reach for Purdue, but he may be viewed as a "re-tread" by many.
Fwiw, previous Purdue coach, Ryan Walters, was an assistant to Odom at Missouri.

We just needed to play a clean game like Clemson did last night....wasn't called for a single penalty, not one. 🤨
Wow. ACC refs have had their thumbs on the scales for the entire season.
Situations of the 6 calls against SMU are interesting.
- Personal foul after a Clemson punt return. Set up drive on SMU 28. Drive: Clem TD
- Clemson ball, 3-11 on their 35, incomplete pass, roughing the passer. Drive: Clem TD
- Personal found after an SMU punt. Moved drive from Clem 41 to SMU 44. Drive: Clem FG
- SMU Ball: 1-10 at Clem 35. Ineligible downfield pass. Drive: SMU Punt
- SMU ball; 2-4 at Clem 20 False start;
- Then holding on 3-9 at Clem 24. Drive: SMU FG.
5&6 on same drive.
Each penalty materially improved Clemson's situation. I did not watch the entire game nor really analyze the legitimacy of the penalties.
Clemson averages around 5 penalties per game for around 46 yards. However, zero is quite amazing.

Unless I am misremembering something, Sark uses the portal to replace outgoing players, not to supplant existing starters. I'm astonished that OU pushed him out, but Gabriel clearly to land where he was largely guaranteed a starting role. Sark could not promise him a starting role, and he did not want to disrupt the culture/system/whatever. IMO, he's managing some positions (most clearly OL, QB, LB) different than others (WR).
QB recruit rankings in parens.
2021: When Sark showed up, QB room was lackluster: Card (4, dual) and Thompson (16 dual). It was a *must* to recruit over them or entertain a transfer. His transition class had Cale Lourd as QB. Who? Yup.
2022: Ewers (1), Maalik Murphy (9)
2023: Manning (1)
2024: Trey Owens (16)
2025: KJ Lacey (18)
2026: Dia Bell (4)After Herbert, Oregon's approach has been to leverage transfers. Oregon was able to get Nix and Gabriel to transfer and become successful. That was out of necessity, as their QB room has been so-so, except for the transfers. Rosters...
2022: Bo Nix, Jay Butterfield (6'6", 202 4* RS FR - Transfer to SJ State), AJ Abbott (FR Walkon from Houston Stratford, transferred), Ty Thompson (6'4", 215, RS FR, 4*, Transferred)
2023: Bo Nix, Brock Thomas (6'0" 165 3*, FR), Ty Thompson (Soph), Austin Novasad (6'3", 205, 4* Dripping Springs, originally a Baylor commit)
2024: Dillon Gabriel, Luke Moga (6'2" 200 3*, FR), Dante Moore (UCLA transfer, #4 overall recruit - Manning was #1), Brock Thomas (Now RS FR), Austin Novosad (now RS FR), Ryder Hayes (FR from Grandview, TX - looks like a walkon)
2025 Commits: Akili Smith, Jr. (6'5", 200, 4*, #15 QB), Jaron Kawae Sagapolutele (6'2", 215, 4* from Hawaii, #8 QB)In 2021, AJ Brown Jr was the starting QB, a transfer from Boston College.
Going into 2025, they'll have 7 QBs. Dante Moore has a fairly clear path to start. That will be the 5th consecutive season Oregon has started a recent transfer QB. That has to hurt their ability to recruit and develop. But perhaps they don't care, because (1) NIL and (2) they are getting results with that approach.
Other notes about Oregon:
Butterfield was #5 in the class that had DJU #1, Stroud #2, Beck #9 for pro-style QBs. He's did nothing at Oregon and has not played much at SJSU.
Ty Thompson was #7 in the class that had (1) Ewers, (2) Caleb Williams, (4) Vandagriff (now at KY by way of UGA), (5) JJ McCarthy (6) McCord, (9) Drake Maye, (10) Dart and (13) Milroe. He's QB2 at Tulane now.
Austin Novosad was #13 in the class with Manning, Dante Moore. -

We did get on our own ways. However, there were different interpretations of holding and hands-to-the-face as a function of the color of your jersey,

JFC folks.
Smart is a whining choade and ground the officials to dust.
Officials had their thumbs on the scale the entire time.
SEC is corrupt.
We win this game by 3 scores if the “G” is not on their helmet.

Still shaking my head about, "We Guard Against Unnecessary Care." Totally tone deaf.
A person's doctor (or the associated PAs or RNs) are the most trusted people in medicine. When one of the most loathed pieces of a system rejects a request from a trusted part of that system, it becomes more loathed. This fool just doubled-down on that.
This is a T-shirt opportunity:
UHC - We Guard Against Unnecessary CareIf UHC has a director of comms or a PR firm, they need to reel in the CEO - or push to have him replaced.

Just a reminder that Arkansas, who beat Tennessee, lost to Oklahoma State, who lost every conference game in the Big 12.
Let's follow the transitive property a little further. It's a circle.
Texas > Michigan > tOSU > Nebraska > Colorado > Ok St > Ark > Tenn > Bama > Georgia > Texas
And now everyone sucks

So, BB signs on at UNC and gets them through Jan. When the preferred NFL job comes open, he quits and Stephen becomes HC for 2025 season.

Seems like the NYPD has really shitty image inference AI or is intentionally throwing shit out there to see if something sticks.
A 30 second visual review of the photos of the guy smiling would say, "that ain't the same guy." And that bike is clearly not a Citi Bike.

Dear Intel Board,
Great move pushing out Gelsinger without a plan. Since you announced the change of leadership, Intel has shed roughly 15% of its market cap.
Congrats,
The ShareholderThat aside, part of Intel's winning culture involved eschewing lower margin, industry leading technologies in favor of higher margin domains. Grove's famous pivot from DRAM to CPU is why Intel was what it was in the 80s and 90s. I suspect that's why the SSD technologies, etc. were abandoned. AND, they can have cyclical major downturns.
For what it's worth, the 18A node is yielding at 10%. That alone could have pushed Gelsinger out, esp. since there were earlier quotes about it being at 50%-60%. That said, yield is a function of area, custom/stdcell/SRAM, but if he's been claiming 50% to the board and someone has a legitimate report of 10%, he's gone.
As @Captainant article notes, CEO BK was an abject disaster. Everything he did was about efficiency, etc. and he gutted/reduced/etc, several strong R/D teams in his time. For example, the entirety of the beginning of MSFT's SOC/silicon team came from Intel (2016). Ampere was started - and largely staffed - by a former Intel exec in 2017. Google, AMD, nVidia, etc. have built (or are building) design centers near key Intel development centers.

There was that, too, I just recall comments about "the juice not being worth the squeeze" or something like that.
