Texas Longhorns (big hat, no cattle; please don’t Horns Down us)

One of the hardest things to do is give up what you did well, when one gets elevated. Been there, done that. Not pretty, delegating what you did best to someone, simply not at your level. Sark exemplifies this. Performing the role of OC is fine, but it takes away with your overall grasp of the entire football team. That part is not to understand. Urban Myer did that, and Day is doing it (still not entirely certain how much Hartline is 'on his own', versus having the Day birdie on his shoulder). But Sark got his gig at Texas by being a darn good OC at Bama, so maybe he wants to keep himself fresh? Just kidding. And to the above, cannot see Arch transferring, and cannot see him leading Texas to the promised land either. Much like Quinn Ewers (aka 'the next great thing'). Oh yeah, haven't seen enough of the Sayin v Arch match-up, and the conclusion that Day can coach up new QBs far better than Sark can. Proof is definitely in that pudding. Maybe the talking heads at ESPN are forbidden to give credit to anyone at the B10?

Week 9 Game Discussion Thread

Thanks for this Saturday's line-up. Gotta figure out which ones to spend time on, rather than going outside to butcher the rose bushes. Couple of obvious 'scouting' opportunities, A&M being one. Don't really give a rip for Xichigan v Xichigan St, except would like to see Sparty escape their doldrums and rise up, like they used to do against tOSU. Keep it coming, and thanks for the playoff implications, don't have to think....

2025 Polls

Used to be that the SEC cannabalized themselves year over year in the rankings. Now the B10 is doing the same thing. The way it's looking now, is that the SEC will put four in the playoff, with the B10 only having three. Of course, there's a little way to go in the season, and it's been such a wacky year that today's prognostications are tomorrow's bird cage liner. Firmly believe that there's 2-3 teams that will surge towards the end, and upset all the intricate (and historical leanings) of playoff teams). Really, that's what makes college football so unbelieveably great!

Miami (FL) Hurricanes (1926-2003)

Off the top of my head, times da U has played the army/somdier/cammo game:

1986 wore their camo off the plane to show what bad asses they were to Penn State.

Kellen Winslow Jr “I’m a fucking Soulja” rant

This douchebaggery.

Can’t wait to see how it works out this time.

Coaching changes: coaches hired and fired, comings and goings

yes , if not one of the dumbest.
I certainkly hope that Brian would stay with what he has built here .
She may or may not be a dumbass but what she did is t dumb, it’s text book journalism in this day and age.

Throw around a bunch of unsubstantiated nonsense sure to trigger people, sit back and watch them click.

The fact it’s linked in this thread and we’re talking about it proves it works.

Coaching changes: coaches hired and fired, comings and goings

Would expect that if PSU hires a 'home run' hire, then the buy-out will be substantial. Contrarywise, if it's a relatively unknown, then the buy-out will be lowered to reflect that. Given that Penn St really doesn't have anything wrong, then assume the admin would be looking for a coach to take them to the next level, which means B10 championships and playoff wins. Soooo, don't believe they're looking at a Tressel-like hire. (relatively unknown at big level). Also would opine that what sort of coach is hired, would have more of an impact on the assistant coaches, OC, DC, are hired. These guys don't want to be associated with anything but success, or be compensated for a 'short tenure'. Will be watching to see how this plays out.

2026 MS DB Bralan Womack (Auburn Verbal)

Well, that's new. Signing up to attend a university 'cause the coach can break dance? Who the heck knows anyway? Have heard of stranger reasons (not really). Anyway, Caleb has set new expectations for tOSU defense, and would opine that Patricia is using that as both a lure and a standard. Certainly it doesn't hurt that Delane and Sanchez are getting serious minutes as true frosh. (Even when we've got some stout CBs coming up). Guess recruiting is like fishing. One's gotta put the bait out there, and see if the fish (recruit) nibbles and/or takes the bait. As Day & Co is fond of saying, "tOSU is not for everyone".
