2023 Portal Recruiting (Opens December 5th)

Coaching Jackson State in the SAC differs dramatically from coaching a D1 in the PAC. Yet, taking over a 1-11 team would make anyone look like a genius. That’s probably why he took “that” job.

Sanders will win six or seven games this year, be on the cover of every magazine, and all over social media as he seeks and will revel in the attention. He always does. After that he will probably top out at about eight wins.

I am guessing 1 or 2 wins

But doesn't that mean that some **** has gone down with Ewers?

Don't get me wrong, I like playing whoever gives us the best chance for big plays and wins. But I don't see us as 2006 Florida with Leak and Tebow. If Murphy is playing, it's because something has gone horribly wrong.

My thumbs up was based upon 3rd 4th quarter leads that give him…. And Arch some playing time

so obviously they'll suck next year and he has the prefect excuse. he can promise early playing time to top recruits telling them they'll be drafted after 3 years.

i'd hate this if i was an alum, but i'm not so whatever lol

I don't have a problem with him running players off to make room for "his" recruits. I DO have a problem with his decision to deny those being run off video of their games/practices; effectively making it difficult for them to find a new home. To me that is fukking schlitty in the extreme. In other words, about what I expect out of Deion.
 
I hope Ewers *could* lose his job, just as I hope every other one of our starters knows they *could* lose theirs too.

If that's not the case, what is the point of competition?
 
Ewers has played well at times. I think he is going to build on this. I can see him bearing down and getting better.
And he may evolve into something really good. He's got a good line with depth and a really good set of receivers. And if he has to check down to his backs, he has rbs that can catch the ball and make the first guy miss. Folks, our offense may be special.
I am more concerned about our defense. I hope we get better pressure on their QB. Thank goodness Ford is still here with his experience.

We led the country in pressures. Of course, that doesn’t mean we can’t get better.

Rice with the huge upset?

I was supposed to be there that rainy night in 1994. I was at a wedding in Houston for a friend who was a recent grad, and happy to discover that the game would be moved to Sunday. So we made plans to head over to Rice the following evening while the happy couple left for their honeymoon.

The weather was **** and I figured we'd roll them coming off the OU win. So I decided to head back home instead. Ugh. Winning that game would have been enough to give us the SWC outright and our last shot at the Cotton Bowl.

IIRC, Makovic benched 1/2 the team for disciplinary reasons. That teached 'em real good. God nose what they dun, but I bet they never dunit agin. I suffered my 1st mental/emotional break-down watching from my couch...hated that damn couch ever since. My wife wudent let me burn that couch in the front yard...so I divorced her ***. Must say, I've empathize with the tosu couch-burners ever since.

Spider, is that you?:)
 
That was the first game I remember Mackovic "abandoning" the team, clutching his clipboard tight against his chest and pacing alone between the bench and the wall.

Not the last time with the most memorable being Rick Lantz' defense kicking the **** out of Ricky and our offense in Charlottesville on that miserable, cold rainy night in Charlottesville.
 
Jaden Alexis lands at USF. Guess he wanted to be closer to home.
It is refreshing to see some portal kids realize they need to be at a lessor known or smaller program for better playing time.
Too bad Brenen Thompson didn’t understand he would be better off at Sam Houston State for example.
 
I believe Brennan Thompson would have been better off at USC, Ole Miss, Tennessee with a staff that appreciates his speed and can make him comfortable in his environment.

This is not a criticism of Sark and/or his staff. Seems clear that Thompson was neither happy nor comfortable on the Forty Acres. FWIW, I doubt OU's staff can develop his talent to put him in the first two rounds.

I hope the young man lights it up in the Dust Bowl and finds out in Fair Park that DBs love to knock the crap out of people.

I can totally agree with Brenen going anywhere but OU.
I also thought something was amiss when he skipped spring ball for track.
As a former sprinter myself, I still put football first and track second.
Maybe he just felt like he was not as good as the other guys? Would have liked to know what happened behind the scenes as I had really high hopes for his speed at WR.
