  1. It's clear some of y'all have never been to either Tuscaloosa or Seattle.
  2. I went back and.looked who else. Mario Christobal at Oregon and Heupel at UCF were other notables. Heupel is really the only one that worked out. Honestly, Kelly might be runner up out of that group. UCLA's problems are above the HC level.
  3. " " "Everyone oozes confidence until they get punched in the mouth. - Joe Lewis" - Mike Tyson" - Tim Hartford" - JBJ
  4. Bad overhyped DEs/OLBs are a pet peeve of mine. Chaisson wasn't good and was a net negative when you consider him vs the run. OU has had a handful of overhyped DEs that almost single-handedly let worse Texas teams beat them. Eric Stryker comes to mind, and he was voted as an All-American. For whatever reason, sports media loves the dudes who can get upfield quickly even when the run goes right into the giant gap they just opened.
  5. I don't think it can now in the portal era. You can easily churn through 100+ players over 4 years without being an unethical pos. Pre-portal, with normal attirbution, it was hard to overcome. ---- The last time someone did a deep dive on recruiting rankings, wins, and draft picks, the conclusion was that quantity absolutely destroys quality. As an example, one of the worst places to go as a top 100 player if you wanted to be drafted was Alabama. Their bust rate was in the 70% range, but they just had so many that they were sending a handful every draft and that drove perception.
  6. I think that I might have known that, but he's the most recognizable player from that era.
  7. Then there was the ever-present Football player rapist
  8. ESPN once put out a mock draft the week of the draft that missed on 20 first rounders.
  9. He carries it well, then.
  10. Yeah, we have a few guys on the roster that just aren't going to grow into the position or have shrunk (Ross, Swanson, Bledsoe). Bo could coach, but this has to be the weakest position as far as recruiting.
  11. I think getting talent from a school like Michigan in the spring will be difficult. I don't think many players in starting or heavy rotational spots will want to re-enroll, hit reset, and compete for a spot again in the fall.
  12. Understatement of the year. He's probably the leading mind in the NFL currently. Fangio has a good coaching tree (defensive guys at least), but this is a far down and short-lived experience.
  13. Without a common force to keep posters in line, their default condition is one of "shitposting;" and it is a war of every man against every man. For "shitposting" is not merely posting a useless meme or the act of trolling. "Shitposting" is a period of time in which it is well known that posters will join the activity readily. It is a disposition to post terrible shit in times when there are no assurances to the contrary.
  14. Do you even Riemannian geometry, bro?
  15. Soccer scholarships actually exist? I thought they were like unicorns and dinosaurs.
  16. Which is why they are bad at football.
  17. I can't recall at the moment any Papuans or Fijians that were any good.
  18. Not all Polynesians are Somoan.
  19. He saw snaps at both 0 and 4/5 End on 3-man fronts. That's probably where the 33% comes from. He was never really an edge player.
  20. That is his older brother (the one with alopecia). Currently at Arkansas. Also:
  21. CSS's philosophy appears to be get the more dynamic playmaker on the field and let him work through the rest of his game. I bet we would see Helm a lot more in the redzone and situational football.
  22. They've spent so long openly buying recruits that it's the only way they can think.
  23. This is SOP for UGA for anyone they want but don't think they will get. I've heard this same story about dozens of recruits.
