  1. Gotcha. Appreciate the correction. But still, fuck them and they never should have been there. Honestly, Mizzou or Kansas should have been in it based on records (both only had 1-loss).
  2. Daaaaayum. Isn't Brown (or Street) that's 4-0 vs OU? They're way before my time.
  3. From when he was on the field against both UF and MSU, he had to let a player or two know where to line up. Moseley yesterday, and I can't remember who it was against UF, but it wss another WR (I've tried so hard to wipe my memory of that game). I'll admit maybe he just has his own set of plays, but the other guys know them, except for maybe a few that were starting. And I don't mean "they don't know the playbook" I just mean they probably got the plays mixed up. But you also have to take into account that all the QBs have the same playbook, so in case of emergency (now) they need to be ready, so I'm basing that assumption of him knowing the playbook from learning it off the field and while at games. That's just my personal opinion and I could be wrong.
  4. I don't know why it makes me laugh, but we've been hearing Phil Knight is making Oregon a powerhouse since Mike Bellotti was roaming the sidelines. Will they ever get there? They feel like aggy with substantially more money and they've made the title game twice, but got absolutely throttled in their second NC game, and in the CFP last year by Ohio State. I think Lanning is good coach, but I don't think he's ever winning them a title. B1G title, yes. NC? No. Bellotti coached there from 1995-2008, and the "powerhouse" thing was started somewhere around 1996 when Nike got involved. Bellotti was a very good coach and won a lot of games, which fueld the phrase "Oregon is building a powerhouse", but it got traction in 2007 when Bellotti hired Kelly; Kelly then becomes head coach, left for the Eagles, then Mark Helfrich began on a high note winning 12 and 11 games his first two season before winning 9 and then getting fired after winning just 4 in 2016. Then in 2017 they hired Willie Taggart, so that set them back after he left for Florida State and got his comeuppance. They decided to hire Mario Cristobal for some reason, who had one 10 win season and a 12 win season and shitty seasons in-between. Now we arrive at Dan Lanning, and the Oregon is building a powerhouse has been going strong for 18 years, so at what point do you just admit that you're lying to yourself? Oregon is a good place to play, but they aren't winning a championship anytime soon. They couldn't do it with the OG Bellotti, not with Kelly, not with Helfrich, lol @ Willie Taggart, who seems more in line with Tyrone Willingham with his decision making skills and ineptitude. Cristobal left and has a shitty record at Miami in 4 years going 5-7, 7-6, 10-3, and currently sits at 6-1. Let's see how he finishes. Now here we are with Dan Lanning... Now, that's not to say they can't make it, because they have two times and lost 2 times. 2010 - L 22-19 Auburn BCS 2015 - L 42-20 Ohio State First year of the Playoffs Made the CFP and got river shit smeared on them by fOSU to the tune of 41-21 (uncanny how their first NC game ended almost the exact same way, minus 2 digits) To me, they don't have "it". Lanning has recruited extremely well, but he's too cocky and he doesn't seem to understand humility. He started at Oregon the same year as Sark. Recruiting (I'm using 247): 2022 - #16 2923 - #9 2024 - #4 2025 - #3 Not bad at all. Actually really good, but there just seems to be something that keeps them from winning it all. I don't know what it is. Will Stein is a tremendous OC that I'm jealous of, and Tosh Lupoi as their DC. Their defensive ranking is skewed because they have only played one team wihh a pulse, and that was Indiana, who brought the wood for the beating in Eugene. God damnit I'm mad they get Will Stein and we have....regressed every season on offense. My point being, or question really is, does anyone really believe Oregon can win it all? I don't and I'll die on that hill.
  5. OK, so let me throw this wrench in the mix- What if CDC is really the baby daddy?
  6. Yeah, I like him. He sucks as a HC, but he's a witch recruiter, very likeable, and a hell of a DL coach before he got the gig at Ole Miss.
  7. Lee Miles and LSU never should have even been in the NC game that year with 3 losses. Worst title game ever.
  8. He's going to find it tough finding a trust circle of WR's.
  9. We can just call this karma for him fucking up his own teammates back while on a golf cart.
  10. Brian Kelly in his purple outfits
  11. Yes, but right now LSU is thinking we haven't lost to these hobos at home since 1994! They're street scavengers! How can you lose to a coach that if hungry enough would eat a walk-on?
  12. Nick Saban coming out of retirement, baby! He finally lands his dream job and all the money he can spend!
  13. This should not bring joy to aggy. This should embarrass them (they lack self-awareness, so it won't). If they beat a team and said team fires their coach, that means you are looked down on as a pleb. See: Kansas 2016 See: Iowa State 2020
  14. I agree with this, and he's a great pass blocker, but as a run blocked he is unfiltered Asswater.
  15. I'm confused. Have we moved the season up to October?
  16. Freshman QB. Gets a pass today. Next weekend we will see. It's all ebbs and flows.
  17. I was just tossing out his name because I would like him as our coach, and he's very likeable and knows what he wants and needs. He adapts. Others are bringing it to life. I should have gone with Nick Saban. I bet he would take this job.
  18. Who do guys think would win in a fist fight between CDC and Sark? My money is on CDC.
  19. I'm gonna guess because killing kids in Louisiana is OK, since they funnel the money from their local children's hospital to the football team.
  20. How fucking dare you leave Jordan Hicks off of here. He and Case were Bang Bros
  21. Well that's just one of the five sacks he got that day. Thanks, Kyle Flood!
  22. The board is in all kinds of disarray, whichever way you are. I'm personally not, because I know CDC would hire a good coach. But I see all over this board to either keep him, let him go, who cares, etc. So "we" just means as a collective of people. Like I said, I've written or even haven't said I care one way or another other than my mentioning of Freeman (to me would be a perfect fit, but that's just my personal opinion).
  23. My hope is because we have a competent and extremely competitive Athletic Director in CDC. Steve Patterson hired Charlie Strong, and Mike Perrin hired Tom Herman. CDC hasn't totally missed yet. Yes, we're in a tail spin over Sarkisian, but at the very least he got us to two CFP semis, regardless of whose players were recruited by whom. CDC fucking loves the Director's Cup. He loves it more than anyone on here loves their wives or husbands or whomever. For whatever reason that piece brings him the most joy in life, second only to his pay, and third to his spouse. I don't know if he'll hire Freeman, but he'll hire a winner.
  24. True, and really it's just projection (although I did see Lockett make 2 catches early in the year, and Ffrench once). Wingo is just so lazy, and I don't get it. He drops easy passes. He had 12 passes thrown to him and he caught 5 for 184 yards. Imagine just catching 8 what that could have done. I know I only saw Lockett catch 2 passes, but the difference in how the two catch passes is almost night and day. But you are right, we won't know until we see them both play meaningful minutes. But imo I just think it's negligent to bring in the #2 overall WR behind Dakorian Moore and just sit him on the bench. No real prep or game time. This circle of trust crap has run its course. Every team we have played have had zero qualms with playing younger guys, whether it be WR or RB, they at least want to get them out there for real game experience, instead of holding on to their RS for whatever reason when we, the fans, and boosters would like to see how these guys match up with their peers in a real game. Only McCutcheon has played in more than 2 games, and that was the first 4 and he caught every ball, and I guess now he's a RS guy, too. Sark acts like it's blasphemous if you have more than 4 WR's who can play, and 2 TEs. What happens if Wingo or Livingstone get hurt? Just toss out those frosh and hooe for the best? That's why these guys should have been rotating at least until conference play to separate them on who's ready and who's not. Moseley had been injured for most of fall camp and early in the season, but Sark plugged him right in. Like, how about giving some of these guys a rest and send out a few new WR's to throw off their DC? Every year since 2022 our PPG have gone down from. 35 to now 26. Sorry for the ramble, it's just an annoyance because of preferential treatment for portal guys, but if you're a freshman not named Wingo, enjoy your RS. I thought we might throw in a wrinkle yesterday with Terry taking some snaps, but nope. Those went to Niblett for 1 carry for -2 yds. He doesn't belong at RB, it's obvious. He can't bruise the DL, he can't cut like Wisner. The best scenario is to use him in 21 personnel or move him out wide before snapping the ball, but even then he has trouble gaining yards. I was happy to see Baxter back, but I didn't expect much, which came to fruition, so they just stick with Wisner instead of giving him help all season once Baxter got hurt again. Terry should have been taking snaps anyway just to use as an advantage in the RZ if nothing else.
  25. Yeah, that dumbass community college does have some hot ass, tho. But fuck em
