Also you’re far safer backing into a spot than backing out: fewer things moving, less to run into. If you can’t back into a space efficiently with a backup cam, you need to hand over your keys.
I don’t carry and am a mostly back-in parker. Have done Smith system and living overseas in much tighter lots you just learn it. You have better control backing in, too. For tight spots it’s superior both coming and going, you have better control.
Arky should throw some coin at Traylor. He’s accomplished what he can at UTSA, has a great rep in Texas, and at 57 he’s got really one shot in him to move to P5. He’d be a good choice to right the ship, maybe groom a successor.
Yes, but I think that dynamic is changing. The proven formula: identify diamonds in the rough, build a culture, make waves with a few upper-classmen heavy teams that bought into your system— is over. Underrecruited breakout players are not staying around after their breakout year at OSU to get a great senior year in the system.
Hotshots are better off staying as well paid coordinators and then parachuting into a great job where they hit the ground running with the roster, NIL, and portal.
We are in a cycle of socially contagious politically-adjacent but not meaningfully political violence. The current admin is doing all it can to fuel this in every way possible. Until proven otherwise it’s all just nihilistic rage that is meaningful only to the perpetrator.
I was not a believer in Freeze. The dude was a classic dirtbag SEC idiot who cheated his ass off and still managed to lose stupid games every year, except for one great season at Liberty. Never put teams that were amazingly coached on the field. Without dropping bags and prostitutes he has no competitive edge.
The platonic ideal of a failed Auburn corch TBH.
I can’t call any of these big names other than Florida. UCLA sort of.
IMO, mid-tier P5 programs have become a lot less attractive absent some super compelling NIL circumstances like Tech. You cannot build a roster, you have to really beat the portal bushes and hope it works out. Jobs like the two OSUs, Northwestern, Arkie are likely career killers.
Would be really dumb, and I don’t think he’s great. The pool is really thin and a wrong step can blow up your program for decades.
It’s a lot easier to turn PSU into a 8 win program than turn in regular 10 plus win seasons. He will eventually break through at the right time and the playoff format means you can lose a game like last night.
Ole Miss will move in, FSU will drop out of top 10. I don’t think Penn State falls past 12 after an OT game against Oregon. UGA likely around 10-11 and Bama may sneak in top 10. I don’t think A&M will be rewarded or penalized bigly.
I had this game as my most likely WTF loss on our schedule. I’d be really scared of Cowbell in Starkville, but I’m hoping they shot their shot against UT.
