  1. You're not wrong, but to be fair to myself (and the other crybabies on here), my "fan expectations" of what we would target in the portal were based on my own perceptions of what we need, rather than anything that the 9.95ers said. We need an experienced every-down RB. We need starter-quality OL at guard and center. Based on what I'm seeing and hearing, we are trying to meet those needs, but are not having success. Plus, I don't love the big softbody IDL we took from Arkansas. Hope he proves me wrong, but that seems like wasted time and money that could be better spent on meeting our needs on offense.
  2. The only player I really feel like we "wasted" during the Sark era was Bijan. And I can't really blame that on Sark or anyone other than Herman for leaving the roster in such awful shape. But every season since 2022, I find myself thinking "what could this team have done with Bijan on the roster?" I don't feel that way about Manning this season. I wish we had done more to support him and to prepare him for the starter role, but those would have been band aids on the bullet wound that was Arch's play for the first 5 or 6 games this year.
  3. I remember watching that play live and thinking the dude got embarrassed. Game on the line and you can't drop the QB? I get that it's harder than it looks, but come on.
  4. "I'm just gonna stop giving a fuck" was Arch's "let ya nuts hang" moment.
  5. But Arch has a lot of natural athletic talent, most notably speed, which makes it hard to accept that he's really "white"
  6. I agree with this sentiment and have been banging the same drum for a long time. But at some point I have to ask, what is the point of having "fuck you" money if you never say "fuck you"? I get that we have a lot of money dedicated to keeping our current roster happy. And I get that (over)paying for a transfer player can upset the room. But are those really factors for our OL room? It seems like we can get someone at guard of Goosby's quality for Goosby money without rocking the boat too much. I readily admit my ignorance on this subject and am probably just being impatient. We've got irons in the fire. But I don't think we'll feel good about how frugal and smart we are if this portal window closes without us taking some quality OL, regardless of how much they cost.
  7. We have people on this board who are directly involved in funding NIL who are telling us what went down. They have nothing to gain by lying and there’s no reason to doubt their credibility. And yet people are still inventing hypotheticals so they can keep arguing / nursing their pet grievances. Some of y’all need to have a hard conversation with the man and/or woman in the mirror.
  8. I know we need to be looking for sure things at IOL, but I would love to take a flyer on a dude like this. He can’t cost that much and would at least set a solid floor.
  9. I don’t think you know how close Sark came to being fired this year.
  10. Im excited about the Pop Tarts Bowl, that one is usually a banger and the Notre Dame schadenfreude has been excellent. Im actually going to the Texas Bowl, hopefully to watch the swamp kittens get their shit pushed in by a lowly Big 12 squad. Kicking the day off with a Pinstripe Bowl between preseason juggernauts will also be good. All in all, it’s going to be a really fun day of football.
  11. lol, “middle aged”
  12. This right here. If Tre had an elite talent, it was patience. He was great at finding holes that the defense left open against our zone blocking. Thats a good trait, but I would still prefer our RB1 to have traits like “speed” and “strength”. Sad to see him go, but let’s wish him well and find an upgrade.
  13. I appreciate you and your posts, but dont point to rep counts as proof that you’re right. Popular != correct.
  14. I'd take it a step further and saying that beating OSU in the early season non-con has a connection to playing in this bowl game. The extra practices matter. Going into the off season with a confidence building win matters. Letting the young guys play in the spotlight matters. Playing in this bowl game and giving reps to guys who will be starters next year is a good thing for the team and will contribute to our success next season. Arch isn't made of glass and players want to play. Livingstone and Wingo are still here. Our young LBs who will lead the room next season are still here. KJ Lacey is still on the team. What are you talking about?
