    Of course I do.  I took an oath.  To medicine.  And to the neighborhood.

    God forbid anyone post anything in this thread that isn't sandy-vagina, black-pill, whining.

    Have a Lexapro (or two) and enjoy the brisk weather today.

    I'm pissed off because the tire warning lights on my dash this morning. Stupid rapid drops in temperature leading to denser air!

    While not necessarily a great proxy for talent, I'm curious what the recruiting rankings say over the last 15-20 years.

    I did the math recently over the last 5 recruiting classes (on3 ranking) and our average rank was #8.5 and their average was #8.

    I am all for the theory of going for the TD on the 1 yard line but at some point we have to recognize the reality that we don't have the horses to get it done for whatever reason. So while I hope Sark continues this aggressive strategy going forward it might not be appropriate for the team he has this year. 

    We have the ability to get it done, we just aren't. Gotta figure it out.

    We are one of the worst red zone teams in CFB, more than half of that is due to going for it on 4th down instead of taking the points. Another 25% is shitty play calling. Red zone is mostly on sark. It’s actually the only real fault this year. It really doesn’t take anything to fix it, stop being cute. That’s it.

    Yes, we are bad at it. That's the point.

    We were up 15 and the football board was shitting its intestines out because Sark risked going up 18 for going up 22 and getting more "let's get this shit right" snaps. Why? Because those people were convinced that BYU was a legitimate threat to score 15 points unanswered. Those people needed to pull their heads out of their asses.

    "WELL IF WE WERE PLAYING WASHINGTON..."
    We weren't.

    "WELL IF THIS WAS THE ALABAMA GAME..."
    It wasn't.

    It was a BYU team that had given up before halftime. That had probably given up before the game even started. BYU was not going to score two touchdowns with an XP and a 2pt conversion unanswered. That was not happening. You could go ask the giant Polynesian head coach at BYU if that was happening and he'd tell you it wasn't.

    BYU wins this year by getting a lot of turnovers. So you limit turnover-producing risks and just beat them up, which is exactly what we were doing. And, in the bargain, we get to practice our goalline stuff. Which we need to do because we're not good at it, and which we could do in those moments because it was low/zero-risk.

    Kicking field goals from the 1 yard line because you're worried some dogshit BYU team is going to score 15 unanswered on us at home after they've been getting their ass-kicked all game is the opposite of what we need.

    Bingo.

    BYU had already given up. The game was over. Basically the entire 2nd half was live-fire practice. I have no fucking clue what some of these people were watching.
