No one is OK with that shit Flood is trotting and has been for the past 5 seasons. He's gone after this season, anyway. Thankfully. Let's hope Sark finds a guy who can punch above their weight and get more 4/5* linemen than 3* projects. And development is key. The guy has to be able to develop, even in his first year with what Flood has left him. Sark is not keeping that lazy retread around simply because CDC doesn't like losing, and he has functioning eyes like the rest of us. 

We see what Arch can do with competent line play, not even high-level linemen. If he can get dudes that will push motherfuckers around, watch out. Plus that will open up the run game, and if that happens, we're cooking with arson. 

I must have missed the story, but is the bold above true or wishful thinking.

He'll get over Flood, he knows he will, 'cause he's the king of wishful thinking.

The OL is a huge downgrade but it’s not a downgrade from a good or elite line. It’s a downgrade to an above average to good pass blocking line and a bad run blocking line. 

How many elite lines were there in college football last year? How many teams had better lines than we did?

Mostly wishful thinking, but if something isn't working on all cylinders by season 5, one would hope the outcome will be we upgrade. And yes, it's me wishing into the universe it will happen because frankly, I'm sick of 3 star, lazy developmental bullshit, and if we're ever going to win a NC under Sarkisian we will need a dominant line to do so, and where has it been? 

We can't keep letting QBs come here to die. At some point in the near future, if we've cycled through three top 5 five-star QBs and have nothing to show for it except for the occasional CFP appearances, then we've hit our ceiling and kids aren't going to want to play for a coach who isn't developing them. Since 2019 with a funny, but aloof moron you have Ed Orgeron, Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, Jim Harbaugh, and Ryan Day all winning championships, and you know what they all had in common? Great OL and QB play, and say what you will about JJ McCarthy, he's still a first rd pick. On one game alone we're hoping the OL is modicum at best. Every dude on that line outside of Baker has been here for 3+ years and we are...well, you have eyes. The only shining light that came out of them almost getting our former #1 overall QB killed in the 4th qtr against, and hang with me here, Mississippi State defense, is it built character and somehow made him play better the next game. Will that continue? We're about to find out.

This discussion is crazy.  Anytime you put 4 OL in the NFL in a single year, that OL was elite.

I think what some are trying to say is that Filet Mignon, Ardbeg Corryvrecken, HEB Creamy Creations Ice Cream, and Chicken Fried Steak are all awesome things that anyone in the NFL would love to have on their team, but when mixed together into a bowl they can't run the ball on Georgia.

for reference about olines. per the media  vandy has the best oline in the country. they sure looked like it. newsflash....olines don't look great against nfl front sevens. Oline is an attitude and can be affected by gameplan also. I feel we don't force the run enough. therefore we look like we can't do it. I think they can be better but well see

I’m pretty sure nobody is trying to say that…

I’m sure we definitely ran all over Georgia and Ohio state with that elite offensive line!

How many olines were elite in college football last year?

It's both a blessing and a curse to be great at football. You're now rich, but you have to live in New Jersey. 

Fucking goddam New Jersey…

Utah has the best line in the country.

UT finished in top three for Joe Moore award , with  Oregon  and behind Army. All of the shitting on Flood is as stupid as the shitting on Sark and Manning.

It would almost be worth it to be poor in New York than be rich in NJ. That entire state inhabits the dregs of humanity. It's just basically society's sediment. Fuck that entire state.

Pos rep for mentioning the greatest scotch on the planet.

He did really fuck up the interior recruiting / not identifying it as a deficit this year, but as with so much Texas football related items, people have the memory of goldfish. Flood has been the best OL coach at Texas in decades. One down year shouldn’t be an automatic firing.

Lulz. Ever been up there?

I have, on a few occasions. I have family in NY and I asked to go there. Obviously I was being hyperbolic about the state. We visited Princeton, and we went to Cape May for a few days. Their architecture is beautiful. And we went to Atlantic City, but I don't gamble, so to me that was meh. We took a trip to Asbury Park, and had a great time, even though some people said it could be dangerous, but we didn't see anything I would call a 'red flag'. I will say the worst city we visited was Camden. Really bland and couldn't find anything to do other than hit some bars.

Brooklyn is kind of dope af. It was nothing like I expected, but what I expected was something out of Wu-tang lyrics, when it kind of let me down. We drove through Queens and Staten Island. How did you like living in The Bronx?

I think it was us, Oregon and Army, correct?
