  1. Tuned in with 4 minutes left. Is it possible he just inherited a terrible culture and has to fix it?
  2. It’s been said that Sark tells players once they enter the portal they can’t come back. I’d be curious to know how they feel about certain players leaving for more money and/or playing time, but then coming back a year later as long as Texas then wants them. There is a philosophy in some companies to not take back employees that leave. The argument is that it incentivizes people to leave. Maybe. But I didn’t always manage that way. If really top talent left for opportunity, but then wanted to come back, I sometimes took them back. I got a more experienced top talent employee who saw that the grass wasn’t greener. I say all this because guys like Bo Barnes could go play for a year, get a lot of playing time, and if they left on good terms, come back. Of course they would have to have played well, the money would need to work, and Texas would need to have an opening. That might be a decent strategy for attracting talent, and being more efficient with player development. But you have to keep a good relationship with a departing player. Based on everything discussed in this thread, it seems like that isn’t happening.
  3. So I assume they let Clark walk then?
  4. Tax talk refuses to go away. Seriously?
  5. In the last three days I had two interactions with Trumpers in Minnesota that is typical of today’s environment. The first was in a pharmacy drug store. The owner had NewsMax blaring on a tv next to the cash register. After waiting in line for awhile, when I finally got checked out, I couldn’t take it anymore. As I was about to walk away I turned and said, “Do you know that NewsMax is nothing but propaganda, like Pravda for Russia?” The guy looked at me for a second and asked, “Really? Who should I be watching?” We then had a nice conversation where he said he was independent with conservative leanings and was tired of being called racist over the last few years. I certainly didn’t turn this guy into a rational thinker, but it’s my hope I at least stirred something in this guy to start paying more attention to who he follows. He wasn’t dumb, and he was the type of person needed to flip future elections. The second was in a large medical facility standing inline for coffee. Out of 10 people, for some reason this older asshat with an America t shirt on came up to me and started babbling about Venezuela and how great it is, and how only the libtards are the ones against it. Why he came up to just me out of the blue, I’ll never know, but I could tell he was a lost cause. So instead of being polite, I simply turned my back to him and ignored him. It felt great. My two little acts of rebellion against stupidity this week.
  6. If you and RGB are truly seeing a serious behavior issue, you need to figure out how to bring that to the attention of Sark, and if Sark isn’t seeing the issue, CDC.
  7. That’s impossible. The yearning in my heart for the two Michigan lineman that I’d never heard of until five days ago leaves a void that can never be filled.
  8. Oregon’s 78% 4 and 5 star roster is getting whipped by Indiana’s 8% roster. One can only conclude that we need to force all 4 and 5 star players to portal and replace them with 2 star players who are 30 with a wife, mortgage and two kids.
  9. When we are all done with the portal I need one of the nine posters who actually know things (you know who you are) to tell me how to feel about all of those signings. I will then dutifully spread that opinion far and wide, as if it’s my own opinion.
  10. I’ve watched Indiana several games this year. The best description for them is precise. Whether it’s their defensive coverage in the secondary, their offensive plays, etc. they always look like every player knows what he’s supposed to do, and they do it. Not many false starts, holding, etc. Unlike another certain team I know that constantly has self inflicted wounds.
  11. Glad to see this. After Wisner asked for $1M and ended up at a shitty situation for not much more than what he could have made at Texas, I really would have been wondering about the staff’s management skills if Clark ended up doing the same thing. After all, they only had to do was point to Wisner’s situation for negotiating ammo.
  12. Oh, ya. I agree. I thought you didn’t even like his older stuff.
  13. I was out of town and didn’t watch the Tennessee game. I didn’t realize he benched several starters in the second half. Wow.
  14. Heard an interesting stat this morning as it relates to portal strategy on the ticket. The Blue Chip ratio of college teams (% 4 and 5 star recruits/transfers on a team) that compete for the title historically has been very high. Ohio State has been 80-90%. Alabama was high, etc. Indiana this year is 8%. It is amazing what they have done considering their talent. However, they also have one of the most experienced teams, with an average number of starts per player of 32. TCU a few years ago also made it to the title game with a lot of experienced players So in thinking about the chaos going on right now, maybe there’s a strategy to include some guys from lesser programs with fewer accolades, who also are very experienced. Like, for example, a lineman from an Ivy League school. They will be cheaper and maybe complement the blue chips well.
