  1. I'll give it another season and a half before he ghosts them and turns up on NFL network again
  2. Why in the world does it matter how they got to 4-8? He built the team at the same university, then produced a ton of money and 3 additional wins as a result. They were also more competitive. Year over year if he changes the entire roster again and gets to 10 wins, who fucking cares if he doesn't keep the same players from the year before?
  3. based on how the games they played went, that's what their cumulative win expectancy total was. Based on some key stats, they got better outcomes than they deserved.
  4. If we're just looking at stats, then UCF would be better than all of them. I'd take Penn State's top 2 over ours from the eye test, but it's a dumb discussion that is completely subjective. Set actual guidelines, then discuss from there. Derka/shadow_operative/Cartman, you claim to be making arguments, when in reality you're just making a series of value based judgements which are reflected by the quality of responses you get in return. Shit is just going in circles down the drain over here.
  5. Even places like Big Texas (RIP) in Clear Lake/Webster had some gems
  6. Forget it, he's (t)rolling
  7. 2022 Kerry Coombs leaves Ohio State which helps 5ish-star DB Brooks flip to Texas on signing day. 2024 Corey Raymond gets fired from Florida BEFORE SIGNING DAY which helps 5-star S Filsaime flip to Texas on...?
  8. He moves very well for his size and can cover some too. Pairing him with Hill would be very interesting. An LB rotation with him, Hill, Lefau, and Burrell/Gbenda wouldn't suck.
  9. Sark is 0-2 against Oklahoma State and Mike Gundy. First time, it was Jaylen Warren going off in the second half while our offense couldn't maintain drives. Second time, Spencer Sanders went superman in the second half as the offense struggled to maintain drives and Quinn turned the ball over a bunch. Both games featured Worthy getting a ton of targets. This year, we are maintaining drives and stopping the run well. Bowman is likely less accurate, weaker armed, less mobile, and less experienced than Sanders behind a struggling OL. Bad ankle Ollie Gordon has to be the best player on the field by a mile for this to be close. Another thing to consider is they are in the first year of a last minute pickup at defensive coordinator. To say he's struggling is putting it nicely. He's trying to put his own spin on Jon Heacock's system and things aren't going well so far for Bryan Nardo. It will be an interesting game.
  10. Crazy contract. But it mostly depends on who he brings in as OC. If he pulls a Charlie Strong and brings in his buddy from Duke, then this will be even more entertaining than it already is.
  11. Will Howard sucks. It's the Avery Johnson show now.
  12. Shapen isn't bad at all. I could see him doing well at a place like UCF.
  13. Lots of players who were question marks coming into the year have broken in a positive to very positive way for us this year. From guys like Mitchell, Brooks, Blue, and Campbell on offense to guys like Sweat, Burke, and Hill on defense. Even Gbenda is a solid contributor on defense for the first time in his Texas career. It's been a good year and if this level of development is a trend, then we're about to go on a run.
  14. Those stats are actually from LAST season. He got passed up by Brahmer, and he's looking for PT for his final season.
  15. The thing Elko did that was successful when he was at A&M was having 3 big run stoppers on the front. They also played safety types at corner who were good in run support. It was pretty hard to run consistently on them, but they regularly got torched against the pass. It won't help them with two really talented passing offenses coming into the league though.
  16. Gabriel is really fucking good. He's not Kyler, Jalen, or Caleb though How can you be not so far removed from Spencer Rattler and not appreciate Dillon Gabriel?
  17. He went to the Florida game against fsu. he visited us mid week though.
  18. Further dampening his transfer portal market. Sucks for the kid, hopefully he sticks around.
  19. @Hagbard Celine I've already verified it, and it's a stupid stat, but those are the two losses. USC (preseason #6) was a 10.5 pt favorite at home against Utah and lost 34-32. Clemson (preseason #9) was a 13 pt favorite on the road against Duke and lost 28-7.
  20. Louisville will get the job done. Rodemaker is bad bad. It would have been more reassuring if Florida won, but I'm glad they aren't going to a bowl game for recruiting reasons. I could see Bama beating Georgia too. The first is more of a guarantee if it happens though.
  21. Thankfully BYU ran out of magic in their underwear after the first half I think Sitake's conservative nature ultimately did them in, and made this title game much easier
  22. Not gonna argue semantics. UCF with Plumlee isn't that bad. The conditions were poor, and they didn't run Ollie into the ground. They need Ollie going wild for them to be competitive offensively. Defensively, my main concern would be their defensive front getting pressure on Quinn. I think we could run the ball 66% of the time and give Quinn wide open throws 33% of the time and win this game by 20+
  23. OkSt is better than they played against BYU. BYU is bad against the run, but they didn't respect OkSt's passing game enough to take more people out of the box. BYU won the line of scrimmage against them too, which is a bad bad omen for them against us. Bowman might be the least mobile QB we've faced this year. I think Slovis moves better. OkSt has a weaker OL as well. I'm not sure how he hasn't taken more sacks. They'll need to hit multiple big shots throwing the ball for this one to stay close unless we really step all over our dicks like we tried to do early against Tech.
  24. I thought it was pretty clear once you saw his frame, length, quickness combo that he had a chance to be good. Then you add his motor and see how seriously he takes himself/his craft and you think he's more likely to maximize his potential as a result. He's ahead of schedule. The more surprising development is seeing how ahead of schedule Tapp is against the run.
