Most coaches want to do it the vanilla way. Accumulate the best possible talent through recruiting, develop your talent to its' full potential, create a winning process and make sure you can win in many ways. Few can execute the formula. Leach on the other hand said I never call run plays the QB audibles into run plays, I can win with lesser talent because I will teach them to execute at a high level, defense what is that? I will ruffle everyone's feathers because I believe my way wins and in doing so he changed college football offenses in so many ways.
I didn't take it that way. I thought of the grenade launcher in a different context - more along the lines of, if asked, which coach is a bull in a china shop? or who is going to come in and shake things up and do it in a way that is not the standard way (i.e. vanilla)?
a) Steve Sarkisian
b) Mike Leach
Poor aggy, they so badly want to win this category, but they can't even win at being a loud cult because their team sucks most years. On the other hand, I don't care if you can hear crickets at our stadium as long as we're winning all the games we play at DKR Texas Memorial Stadium. Although it's fun when it's loud, but we all know that only happens from time to time. The fact that we have to talk about a game that happened in 1990, when there was a track around the field and an open end zone, as the loudest says it all.
Now that this has been shown we are not like the other Texas school it is time for Texas to start pushing for the SEC championship game to be moved to New Orleans or go the BIG XII way and have it go back and forth between Dallas and Atlanta.
Halfway between Austin, TX and Gainesville, FL
The best city between Austin, TX and Gainesville, FL to meet is New Orleans, Louisiana which is about 29 miles from the exact midpoint.
When I saw the H post I imagined the recruit from "The Program" movie getting off the bus and instead of cheerleaders he sees this on the sidewalk.
The Program:
You are so wrong with your non competitive argument. The World Cup has automatic qualifiers and folks have to play their way in. Italy was knocked out of the last World Cup after winning the Euro. No committee would have ever left them out but they were knocked out by playing the games based on the group they were put into. No committee would have selected UTSA but when you play the games shit happens. In this case the automatic qualifiers are awarded by the games played within your conference.
Sankey got what he wanted when he entrapped the BIG XII by saying I want ideas and not people that complain about the good of the game. So Yormark takes the contrarian stance to seem independent and Sankey jumps on it.
