I'm not gonna pretend to know Sark's management style or MO.

We've beaten that to death on another thread, but all we've got are rumors, innuendo, and hearsay.

We literally have people who work for one fund and have insights into the program. It’s not guessing how sark manages

You know what, I agree with you!! In fact, any returning starter should just sit out the bowl practices too! Way too much risk. Don't these coaches know that Baxter got hurt during a practice??! A practice??! Nope, too much risk, don't let the starters practice either. They should just play EA CFB on PS5 against Michigan to try and simulate live reps. It's the only smart business decision.

We should just stop practicing all together or at least stop contact in practices and just throw against air. The NFL does it, what could go wrong?

Okay, then your question should be directed at them bc I don't work for the One Fund if it wasn't already obvious.

This is a new rule for this upcoming year. Prior years had a spring window. Jan 2-16 is the only transfer window available now. The other teams “doing both” have a leg up because they’re in the CFP. We’re wasting time with this stupid bowl prep when Sark could be full throttle focused on recruiting these transfers.

There's an army of people on staff that do that year round. Sark can multi task for 11 million.

Would cutdown on 50% of injuries.

I'm going to post this again. aggy's bowl game practices helped them get KC Concepcion when he was debating which school to transfer to. He attended aggy's Las Vegas Bowl practices and watched Marcel Reed throw. He committed shortly after that. aggy isn't playing the playoff without him. So yeah, maybe we can do both.

He went there for the money.

Born in NY, raised in Charlotte, went to NC State, then just randomly picks A&M?

If you're looking for something else (or in addition) to do other than Disney/Universal, Gatorland is a great change of pace. Not as expensive or a big a hassle as the others, and they have a variety of exotic animals and shit for kids to do

The people I've recommended it generally come away with a remark along the lines of "that was surprisingly great, will go back"

The idea of Sark getting a head start to the off season……..

and just like that

Or he could do like other coaches did and coach for the playoffs AND recruit the fuck out ot the portal. He chose to just prepare for playoffs and he chose to not make the playoffs this year with his lack of preparation for the season

It was sarcasm. It's a huge contributor to why our staff didn't see the issues with our OL and the offensive game plan prior to stepping on the field against OSU.

We have 3 weeks until a pretty unserious game vs playoff teams having potentially multiple real games during that span. I don’t think we are going to be game planning to the point that we can’t work the portal during that time. Seems like a non issue.

It’s absolutely a non issue, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have 3 page discussion/argument about it. It’s the Surly way.

Serious question. Has anyone else started to lose confidence that Sark can develop and get the same effort from our 5-star players and top-portal transfers that Cignetti seems to get from his 0-star players?

I think the value of having your school attend a meaningless bowl game is slipping below the drawbacks.

More and more marquee teams will opt out.

More and more recognizable players will opt out.

The college playoffs will continue to expand. 

Since the bowls have passed their relevancy, they will die, just as the runner-up game for the NFL championship game died in the late sixties.  

I haven't followed the discussion all that closely, but I don't really understand the "Playoffs have ruined bowls" argument.

Pre-playoffs and pre-BCS, the bowls were also meaningless.

Maybe. Maybe not. Cignetti isn’t working here or elsewhere anytime soon so I don’t particularly care.

Does anyone get what cignetti gets from his 0-stars?

Yeah this. Also, I'm sure this board full of coaching experts would have been totally cool with hiring a 62-year-old coach from JMU two years ago.

So you don't think it's relevant to compare what the competition is able to achieve with far less resources than Texas has? I think it's certainly worth considering, no?

In the Cheesiest bowl thread not really no. There’s other Cignetti circle jerks going on elsewhere already.
