  1. No one would've missed them because they're Cincinnati. It still would've been wrong for them to not have a shot. Hindsight is 20/20.
  2. Cincinnati was the only undefeated team in the country, with a win over a very good ND. They deserved a shot, along with Bama and Michigan. UGA didn't, but a 3-team playoff doesn't really work. If you don't win your conference (or division for that matter), I don't think you're deserving of a national championship. I think it should be more about who had the best overall season, not who's hot at the end. But I realize the landscape has changed, and it's basically becoming NFL lite. I just don't like it.
  3. This is the rare year where the old BCS would be preferable. Georgia and Michigan are the only deserving teams. In an ideal world, they would just adjust the playoffs at the end of each season to include the minimum number of worthy teams, but obviously that'll never happen with the $ involved.
  4. Is this where Campbell supplants Hutson?
  5. Nah, it's all because of Jimbo's charming personality and aggy's enrollment numbers.
  6. It's not the ultimate goal, but winning the Sugar Bowl was an enjoyable moment at least.
  7. Once again, Aggy has been paying top dollar for recruits since going all in on Jimbo. It has nothing to do with enrollment numbers (where are Florida International's 5 stars?) or coaching stability (how about Iowa?). They've been buying recruits dude. That's it.
  8. Well Thatguy has repeatedly made the argument that our problem is firing coaches to quickly, not hiring shitty ones. And whatever penalty there is, great coaches seem to quickly overcome it.
  9. So who should we have kept around, lazy Mack, Charlie, or Herman? And Aggy has been paying top dollar for recruits long before NIL.

    F cancer.

    My mom passed away last year from ovarian cancer at 63. It's a disease that affects all of us at some point. Some are easier to cure than others though. Regardless, spend time with your dad and give him a hug whenever you can.
  11. There are Bama fans who want Saban gone. Seriously. Hasn't seemed to affect their on-field results.
  12. Sark isn't "using" NIL; NIL was built and will operate with or without him. And whatever Herman was doing, it obviously wasn't enough. We're clearly much better at NIL than the old bag game, which is a huge advantage to Sark. Too bad he sucks.
  13. NIL is a whole different level than whatever $100 handshakes Herman was giving out. We're talking hundreds of thousands (some cases millions) of dollars. Point is, recruiting will be fine with or without Sark.
  14. Couldn't be worse than what we're seeing with Ewers. Hell, Casey Thompson looked like a stud the few snaps he played under Herman. Maybe Tom actually knew a thing or two about coaching QBs.
  15. Herman without NIL was better than Sark.
  16. There's nothing Sark could've done guys. We just don't have the players. But once he gets his guys in here, look out; we might be able to score more points on TCU than Tarleton State.
  17. He has a major second half/adjustment problem, and he doesn't know how to fix it. Anyone denying that at this point has their head in the sand. He's also nearly 50 years old with 20+ years of coaching experience. There's no light bulb waiting to come on. Our only hope is that he can accumulate enough talent to cover up his deficiencies, and I'm not sure that's even possible.
  18. No, we completely turtled. The win doesn't change that fact. It was one of the worst displays of turtling I've ever seen.
  19. Most of us aren't saying he should be fired this season (although if he loses out, he probably should be). We're saying we see the writing on the wall. Great coaches don't have this many red flags. And Nebraska sucks because they're in the middle of nowhere and their recruiting fell off a cliff (in addition to hiring shitty coaches). We don't have that problem and never will.
  20. Not sure what point you're trying to make, other than we all need to shut up and accept mediocrity. Not doing it. Every program with expectations fires mediocre coaches. Bama is the best example because they're the most successful, but every program that gives two shits about football does it. Only mediocre programs keep mediocre coaches.
  21. Bama kept firing coaches until they got Saban. Didn't seem to matter once they got their guy. Look up the coaching history of any blue blood program and it's usually the same story: 2 or 3 legendary coaches with long tenures, and a bunch of bums who lasted 3-4 years. Maybe Sark suddenly gets it and becomes the guy (unlikely based on history and his performance thus far), but you don't keep him around just for the sake of continuity; no program with expectations does that. If the results are still mediocre after 3-4 years, you try again.
  22. We already went that route and he turned us down. I doubt we'll make another run at him, but it's not because we're above it.
  23. Recruiting has improved largely due to NIL. Ewers and most of last year's O-line haul wouldn't be here if not for NIL. As long as we can (legally) drop bags, we'll get players, regardless of who the coach is. The ability to hire a great staff is far more important.
