  1. Yes, let's talk objectively. Were did I use that word? I used it in reference to continuing to call Sark, "Seven win Steve". That is, as I said above, lazy, stupid and objectively wrong. He was won 7 or fewer games in exactly one season here, that was his first. He has since won 8, 12, 13, and this year at least 9. Did we take a step back this year? Absolutely. As for the pre-season ranking, there were many on here who correctly pointed out the stupidity of that, and all preseason rankings. and correctly surmised that this year's team would probably lose 2-3 games. I would also caution against comparing Sark to Elko. Elko had the benefit of an experience O line and a Charmin-soft schedule. They may very well end their season with 2 consecutive losses, and nobody outside College Station will remember this year. And yes, Sark is a massive improvement over Charley and Herman, but that's because they were who preceded him. Who else would he be an improvement over? Certainly late-era Mack, and arguably even early-Mack. He is also an improvement over Mackovic, and MacWilliams. If you want DKR levels of success, that's fine and should be the goal, but maybe go back and look at DKR's record before getting to Texas as well as his first 4 seasons at Texas. He would never have lasted with this crowd.
  2. You mean like win a conference championship? Yeah, if only we had one of those in the past couple years....oh...wait.
  3. I don't think the problem is that we think we're too good for someone like Cignetti; the problem is that too many people think Sark needs to be shown the door because for the first time in 3 years, we may not make the playoffs...and can we please put the "seven win Steve" shit to bed. It's just lazy, stupid and objectively wrong. If you can't see dramatic improvement in the overall state of our program over the last 5 years, then I don't know what to tell you, and if you insist on raging because we're not having Nick Saban levels of domination, then you should probably prepare for a lifetime of disappointment. I will be very interested to see what people say next year if Indiana takes a step backward...probably nothing.
  4. I know I'm getting old when I start sentences with, "Back in my day...", but back in my day the tower would be fully lit for beating aggy only when we beat them on Thanksgiving day.
  5. And that decapited plushie they're crying about.
  6. So, where does Hurley rank on the Most Punchable Faces scale?
  7. I'm not sure coaches getting fired for losing to aggy is quite the flex they think it is.

    NIMBYism

    I'm no finance or real estate expert, but I think this premise is very questionable. I may be wrong, but I'm guessing that when supply increases, demand will also increase, and the demand for these new units will far outstrip the supply, because who wouldn't love to have a Beverly Hills address in their real estate portfolio? If the demand is stronger than the supply, the prices aren't dropping, and may actually increase, but then again, I'm just guessing.
  9. I don't know if it's my favorite, but the first couple seasons of Boardwalk Empire were good enough to merit a mention here.
  10. Your revolution is over, Lebowski...condolences. THE BUMS LOST!
  11. I like your style, Dude, but there's just one thing...you have to use so many cuss words?
  12. I agree with your first sentence, but nothing to lose??? With a 3-1 conference record, and 4 remaining games, we have nothing to lose? Not sure I agree with your math, there.
  13. This channel is kind of silly, but the videos make me giggle:
  14. Say what you want about the tenets of Suryhorns, Dude. At least it's an ethos.
