  1. Thompson did not play like garbage. Card gave us a TD (that he lofted off his back foot), a strip sack, and a pick-6.
  2. Yeah....I am sure Card would have made a better throw.
  3. This whole LT thing has gotta go. Look at Casey's stats and please explain.
  4. Well the real problem there is we had a checked-out HC whose destruction of the program we are still dealing with.
  5. Welp, that's season for Bijan. Glad it's not one of his legs.
  6. And then that coach left and our D has sucked most years ever since. Temp hire, JUCO senior QB type scenario. Did nothing to help the direction of the program, as opposed to that one team.
  7. How many times have we seen that this year? How many wide open receivers have our QBs missed? How many guys running wide open have they not spotted?
  8. At schools with realistic assessments of where their program is, they don't start demanding firings in year one. Even of coordinators. I played in a HS program like this and it sucks. When a new coach comes in, with new schemes on both sides of the ball, all of a sudden pretty much everybody is playing out of position and it shows.
  9. Worthy wide open, injured QB misses dinged up WR. That is not on the coaches.
  10. Ah the old "We're Texas" argument. Serving us well since 2010.
  11. You can't fire your way out of a mess like this. At some point we are going to have to be prepared for a few years of bad football and trust some coach to rebuild a foundation. Sark is not my first choice but I think he is capable of it.
  12. I'm betting you have a hard on for Leipold right now. Check this out 5-7 2-10 6-6 First three years at Buffalo. When would you have fired him?
  13. Yeah -- because he is SLOW. He has no business on the field at this level.
  14. That whole drive was made by that 60 yard run. PK made the perfect call but somehow we have a prime Mackovic style linebacker playing in 2021 in Brockemeyer who failed to turn the play back in and it was off to the races. That's on Herman and I guess our culture of taking shitty legacies while the ones who can play go to other schools. We've become the school that marries the ugly sister in the rich family, only to get cut out of the will anyway.
  15. Bad news is we can't tackle, but at least we can't cover either.
  16. This is just what you expect when you play the Kansas Jayhawks and their backup QB. Just a methodical down the throat of your defense drive, kind of like the Green Bay Packers of yore.
  17. Piazza already opened the barn door to get Bagwell in, and now we have to pick and choose among the rest. Bagwell and Piazza two were guys "everybody knew" were juicing but somehow managed to stay out of the fray. Per WAR, Piazza, Sosa, Sheffield, Abreu, Edmonds and McGwire are in a range (around 60) where there induction would not be controversial in a vacuum, but that is also the territory of the "critical darling" players like the Evanses, Lou Whitaker, Sal Bando, and Buddy Bell. And that is a tier below guys like Manny and Beltran, whose career spanned the 'roid era into the sign-stealing witch hunts and probably won't ever get in. And might not have even w/o the scandals at the end -- he just played for too many teams, and the Hall likes things simple and stupid in that regard. But good lord. I've been an Astros fan for 43 years now and in that half-season we had him back in 2004, he was the best position player the Astros have ever had. In my experience. I didn't get to see prime Cedeno, back when it was looking like he was Willie Mays II, Dominican Boogaloo, but good god Beltran that year -- clutch easy-swing bombs; stole 28 bags w/o getting caught / and man, watching him patrol center was to see a great and gifted artist at work. I don't think any center fielder in baseball history was playing better than Beltran was that year. He didn't sustain it as long as the true greats, but he was just sheer perfection out there. Regular season stats don't really show that -- esp the old-school ones -- but everybody who was paying attention remembers the playoffs that year. When he'd step in the box you were as certain of a huge hit as you were VY pulling out a third and 12 against Okie State. Failure was not conceivable.
  18. At some point we are going to have to reassess HoF standards for SPs. I think Schilling's numbers are sufficient* for the current standard of "300 wins and you're in" even though it seems nobody will ever do that again and more than enough under whatever new standard we come up with. I think 200 games with some degree of dominance and post-season success should be enough. Or are we just gonna not have any SPs going in for the next few decades? Lots of great starters have already fallen off the ballot while relievers continue going in because the standards we set for them now seem kind of low. (Probably in 20 years some old timers committee will go hogwild and put in a few deserving guys (Brown, Cone, Sabathia) but then they won't stop until guys like Mike Buehrle are Brad Radke are going in. I'd hate for Schilling to be the guy who leads that parade just because he is such a dick -- and fuck the bloody sock; it wasn't like he was pitching with a broken leg. I hate it, but his numbers should get him in. *At first I put borderline, but as with every other time I review his numbers, they are much better than I remember. It's like I really want them to be worse than they are. Shit, a composite of WARs/JAWS has him the 18th best pitcher of all time. PS: Tiant should be in.
  19. Piazza kicked in the door, I guess. It took a media darling to do it.
  20. Dude! Comfort Suites rules the mid-level motel chain game. There can be no other correct answer. I would not be impressed by a La Quinta or Hampton Inn-looking house. It's not something I would have ever considered buying myself but I never had four boys 12 and under.
  21. Can't find an official ballot. Put in Bonds, Clemens and Schilling. All asshole class, so that we may move on.
  22. Welp, I am the OP and firmly in the "fraud" camp but he just hired one of my brothers-in-law after he did his 20 in the Air Force. So now he's got a gig with SpaceX and he and my sister and their four boys (triplets and a bonus) have bought a house in Brownsville that looks like a Comfort Suites -- huge indoor pool area with adjacent bar, etc. So now I have to bite my tongue when I talk about that asshole.
