Good news for you. The research of Messrs. Dunning and Kruger imply that if you suspect that you are, you're probably not. Likewise, if you are sure that you are not, you probably are. It's a paradox but one that is somewhat easier to assimilate (for me anyways) than that damn Schroedinger's...

No, we absolutely do not. We just need free beer. That will fix everything. ;)

Two straight kickoff times that will not hinder neither the morning round of golf nor the subsequent 19th hole revelry. The infamous words of the immortal Ignatius Reilly springs immediately to mind..."Oh Fortuna, you capricious sprite!". I know it is asking much of the goddess but if somehow...

I understand what you are saying logically. What i am having trouble with, after the last 10-15 years or whatever, is that it is apparently impossible for the coaches to fix the issue during the course of a season for whatever reason. If they knew what to do, they would have already done it. It...

the O turnaround was done in the offseason with a hire of a new OC and the recruitment of a seasoned QB. I don't think a turnaround in season is realistics given the other things you pointed out. Yes we did see a significant jump last season when Collins was fired but this team is without the 3...

I have been a fan for 50 years give or take. With the exception of a few years when Tenuta, O'Leary, or Lindsey was our DC, we wail and gnash our teeth and blame the numerous coaches, coordinators, and/or the many hundreds of players who have come and gone. Us idiots and zealots, desperately...

Whether we did or not remains a moot point imo. While my friends and neighbors who are all Ole Miss grads commented on how we no longer looked like a HS team like we did last year and there WAS noticeable and significant improvement to all observers, I think that OM roster and coaching staff is...

I wanted the Fg too then. His decision reminded of the days when CPJ didn't trust his kicker and his defense so he was forced to take risks to try and outscore the other team.

there are a couple of things that popped into my head. First of all, no one knew if he WAS going to be succesful at the D1 level. I didn't you didn't. Deion didn't although I am sure he believed he would be. Just as i am sure that Collins believed he was going to be. Early returns are indeed...

I don't think it is as bad as you think. As always, people with the dour attitudes tend to post both more frequently for whatever reason and, even more annoying, repetitively. I think most posters have similar views to the ones in your post.

I totally agree and, imo, it was 100% both directly related to the previous screwup on the former guy and also certainly justifiable. That mistake was so egregious that the current Prez andAD were indeed forced to play it safe. We tend to forget things when we look backwards. Missing with...

Turnovers (or lack of offensively) are also a good indicator.

I will not lose a second of time wasting my breath on that. The people who would even care saw it and those who don't care didn't watch nor are interested in my (or anyone else's) opinions concerning the game either. ;)

I think we may have made them look better than they are but did you see Bama today. They have found out what Clemson has found out....when you string of first round QB's is over you don't seem quite as good as you were.

So, my neighbors (next door and across the street) are OM alums. I told them during pregame beers I would be happy after last year's game to be able to be in the second half and still be in the ball game. To think it was 24-17 early in the fourth would seem improbable to the casual fan who will...

The game played out exactly how we all imagined it would. That's about all there is to say about it.

I haven't read through this thread so this may have been discussed already but I have often thought that Coach Prime to GT thing was hindered by the perceived similarities in styles between him and our former coach. Whether this perception is right or wrong is another discussion but another...

You are simplifying things way too much my friend. You also have to factor in the quality of the uniform release video. Sure people overlook it but it's like special teams play - a seemingly minute thing in the grand scheme of things but, ceteris paribus, it can be the difference between walking...

Agree 100%. I have a brother who is an OSU alum (the one in Columbus, not Stillwater). He has shared with me that one of the recent presidents of his school, if not the current one, understands and is one record saying that the status of the athletic department, more specifically the men's...

I am not a huge fan of the SEC but anybody who pushes back on the idea that these schools don't emphasize athletics, most especially college FB, more than schools in other regions I think is arguing from a purely emotional and biased standpoint. I think we can compare spending if we were...
