    Michigan should leave and go independent for sure. I would be surprised if they sign this would be very very bad and they don't need it. 


    Private equity is the most expensive form of capital. They will require high percentage dividend payments (often 10% or more) or look to sell that investment in the medium term. Unless the Big 10 is strapped for cash, I do not understand this move at all.

    I admittedly don’t know anything about him since leaving CU. I was merely talking about out his potential, athleticism, and production at CU. Now that I’m informed, I redact my excitement. 


    No need to redact any excitement. A healthy Edwards is a better back that is on our roster currently I just think we will be able to set our sights even higher.

    A man who has coached in college football for almost half a century doesn't understand zone defense?  Sure OK.  Just say he's old and you don't like old people.  


    Yes that is exactly what I am saying. We knew this from his time at Texas. This isn’t new information. When asked to do more than coach up corners to play man defense he failed miserably.

    I don’t know what failed, but on the long uncovered TD, Guilbeau and Trey Moore were arguing about the coverage bust when they were on the 40, trailing the receiver on the 20 headed in for the TD. That’s bullshit and Akina needs to control that. Players should never argue on the field. They need to know who has what assignment and do their job. 


    The problem is Akina himself likely does not understand zone concepts so how the fuck is he supposed to teach that to anyone else? The mistake was made when Joseph and Gideon left to hire a 70 something year old coach who can only teach man to corners to go with our mostly zone defensive coordinator. This is on Sark. 

  5. Pretty sure he will not be back next year so it’s pointless defending him. He was a bad hire at the time and it’s pretty obvious to everyone involved he cannot coach a secondary in zone defense if his life depended on it and that was the case twenty years ago and it’s still the case today. We lost to Florida partly because of this hire. I cannot imagine a scenario where he is coaching here again next year.

  6. A 9-3 Texas team means we have three wins against top 10 teams and played five top 10 teams overall. That would be a lock to make the expanded playoffs. If we really did fix the offensive line the new hole in the damn is the one created by Akina in our secondary. Time to remove the tourniquet from the offensive line and figure out how to stop the bleeding in the secondary.

    Yeah, Vandy just isn't that good.

    SCar sucks.  LSU were frauds and now their coach is fired.  And they squeaked by Mizzou when the Tigers' QB went down.  Only legit team at full strength they played was Bama and they got mudholed.


    Vanderbilt has a very good defensive front. In all of those games they have played well.

    Why is everyone avoiding the idea that the time out could have been for rehab and the family, employer and friends knew as much? Everyone drawing the conclusion that one of the possibilities was a bender but not examining a rehab notion is odd. I've always assumed the break was due to some bad old habits resurfacing and the guy needing a restart.


    One does not go from normal to rehab without a few steps in between. I hope the time away was at rehab and he is ok but if he was at rehab you can bet there was visibly destructive shit going on. 

  9. Pretty surreal reading about the one subject about Sark that we hoped never came up in thread discussions at any point at his time at Texas. If that really became an issue again, it will absolutely come out at some point. Knowing from my own personal experiences, going back down that path leads to other destructive behavior that is impossible to keep quiet. I hope that is not what is going on here.

  10. Without Arch and Taaffe and after witnessing the back alley, rusty coat hanger abortion that is our offensive line all year there is no conventional wisdom that would suggest we win this game.  But that is exactly why we win. Caldwell is about to join Chance Mock as a pinch hit Longhorn legend

    Certainly but would you be excited for a home and home with any of them? Maybe a road visit once but imagine looking at the non-con schedule and its fucking Syracuse


    Maybe we should not shit on what a home and home with Maryland would look like.  Selfishly I would be all in on a road game at Champaign.
