re: predict the remaining half

[quote]3 years is plenty of time.[/quote] I think patience is a virtue, but the reality is we may be looking at our future. In this environment of the transfer portal, with a coach in his third year who has out recruited everyone but UGA in his division over the last two years, fans should expect...

You can’t control how one handles or engages any situation in life, social media may have gave this a larger platform but this has been a truth for a long time. One thing I do think through that you highlighted with kids thinking about what school they will attend is the overall experience. It i...

[quote]Mizzou vs Tennessee by the808bass That would be a hilarious take if you put it as a white kid. “My kid from West Plains is only around white kids. How are you going to meet his unique emotions and social-cultural needs?” Hilarious.[/quote] Since I am being real. This will be m...

My point is Drink does not have an issue at all with race. My point is that Mizzou handled the stuff around 2015 in a positive manner. I responded to the first post about the protest being an issue. My response just highlighted the why on how it was handled was important. ...

[quote]Glad you played the race card bc that was needed [/quote] That wasn’t a “woke” take or whatever you want to call it. That’s just facts. In some cases you are recruiting black kids who have no real substantive interactions with other races based on circumstance or location. Similarly t...

[quote]Everything that Pinkle built was destroyed by that 2015 team[/quote] That’s just not true. In a sport that is predominantly black with parents that had certain concerns, his stance helped reinforce a commitment to those kids. I have heard that from many black players. If we want to be ...
[quote]Agree…. However, look at their recruiting rankings from 2017-2020…. Both programs were top 20-30 for the most part. Mizzou has consistently been in the 40’s.[/quote] I get that. But we are talking about losing to programs with worst recruiting numbers like BC. I get the lack of talent and ...

[quote]In a perfect world I think this is the answer. Part of me worries Ryan W. will maintain his man principles and we get beat with Leach’s crossing/man beating routes. [/quote] Mississippi State man beater concepts are killing us. I’m surprised Ryan is playing this much man when we know wha...

In a perfect world I think this is the answer. Part of me worries Ryan W. will maintain his man principles and we get beat with Leach’s crossing/man beating routes. Georgia tried to install zone the week of but you saw they were exposed in both zone and man concepts against MSU. I still see ...
Hard to consistently compete with the top three teams in this league (Bama, UGA, Florida) without closing the talent gap. Those teams have dudes. We slowly starting to get dudes where it matters to be the squad we all want to see. I hope with Drink/Walters playing three freshmen in the secon...

Results alone ain’t it. It’s the brand on your feet, the environment you play in, and the players you got coming with you. Talk to young men today and it’s about building their brand and getting better to achieve long term goals. We are missing two of the three things I said above, and it’s ...

Sometimes we have to take a look at all of the factors which encompasses recruiting. With a defense first mindset he was able to convince Jaylen Brown to travel from Georgia all the way to Berkeley and pair him with Ivan Rabb. From what I hear, top prospects love what Cuonzo is about. His bigges...
Not looking to fire anyone. Just about to grab another drink and transition to watching some other teams play. I am disappointed because I look at CFP at a macro level and I am blessed enough to have limited insights into multiple programs. This loss hurts because it keeps us on the same space. ...

I get the short term picture. This could still be a "successful" season with 9 wins. I am trying to recognize the long term disadvantages associated with this loss. - No positive airtime during "College Football Live" or other ESPN shows. This impacts fans expectations and overall perspective...
Future success is determined by talent and developing that talent. Leach is a good coach but has taken advantage of a conference that has taken a nose dive, just look at Pac 12 teams on the line of scrimmage. Virginia Tech still had a full 6 months for recruiting after that loss, we only realist...
This is what Odom was building towards from 2016-2018. - There was a national narrative that had us as the second best team in the east, ready to compete with UGA after an 8-0 start. - We had all eyes on us with Kelly choosing the Mizzou Tigers over an Auburn team who would be in the opening w...
