re: BP wanted the job…

Petrino had a great shot at landing the full time job and shat the bed in rather spectacular fashion.

Unless Silverfield keels over from a heart attack we aren't looking for a new head coach for another 3 years.

You know, had World War II not broken out, we would have had Bear Bryant as our HC! But it did, and we didn't get him. We are stuck with the silverfish for now, and no one worth a damn is interested in the job unless we raid an FCS team. Which I'd give serious consideration to at this point.

If we score 24 on Georgia their head coach should fire his DC on the field and publicly apologize to the Bulldog fans.
Delaware can be a very respectable G6 team. The state itself doesn't churn out a ton of talent but they are in the talent rich Tidewater region.

That was a potential play of the day there.

Move the game to a neutral site where we aren't playing at midnight our time.

Thank God y'all held serve.
What I get from this is that Western Michigan might be a scary good team in the SEC this year. That or the Oklahoma OC needs to be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail.
We did not in week one control what has been our weakness... turnovers and dumb penalties. If we do manage to get that handled we could be more competitive in the SEC than folks think.

The issue, of course, is can we get those things under control?

On the plus side...

Arkansas did cover itself with glory when it comes to college football recently. Yes, I'm talking about ESPN sideline reporter and UA alumni Taylor McGregor, who handled the absolute sh*t show that was FSU/SMU about as well as could be humanly done.

She used her contacts, wasn't afraid to ruffle feathers to get the news, and stayed professional. It would be nice if some folks in the Athletic Department followed her lead.

I'm not. What sort of terms are we looking for? Do we let Iran have any kind of nuclear capability, peaceful or otherwise? Are we looking for regime change? Do we have a plan if Iran just keeps hanging on? What happens if the notoriously fickle Gulf States declare they've had enough of this and want a settlement at any cost? Which, I should add, they are inching closer to. We can't fight a war in the Gulf without their support.

We don't have answers or clear guidance on any of that. Even the nuclear issue has had conflicting answers from Trump himself on what the US will and will not accept. And if we ask for too much who is to say Iran will give in?

The experts said there was no way Iran could last longer than 5 months. Well, it's been 7. They still have roughly a third of their usual oil being exported. If we escalate attacks they will almost certainly strike US bases (our anti drone defenses are atrocious) and the Gulf States who are already whining about the cost of the conflict.

Trump campaigned on ending "Forever Wars" and it appears his strategy in Iran is now hope we can wait them out.

No, but you seem to be. Which is pretty much par for the course.
quote:

Our economy is taking little impact compared to Iran.


They went through far worse during the hostage crisis. Far, far worse when you consider the high standard of living Iran had before the Ayatollah came to power.

Y'all are talking about forcing economic hardship on a country that already has a low standard of living. They'll just wait Trump out and keep gas prices high around the world. If gas prices remain sky high for the rest of Trump's Presidency the Democrats could run someone as lousy as AOC and win the next Presidential election.

All Iran has to do is survive and poop out a few Shaheed drones every now and then.
quote:

Clearly we’re cool with continuing the blockade indefinitely past the midterms.

Once those are up what does Iran do in the face of another 2 years of the Trump administration in power and then the next administration likely continuing to cripple them economically as well?

It doesn’t seem Iran is going to be able to run the clock out and their economy is going to continue to spiral.



Thankfully this hasn't impacted our economy at all. Gas prices are at all time low correct?

They are going to hang in there. The time to hit them was during the protests. Now all the people that would topple the regime are in mass graves.

Sooner or later either the US or Iran will blink but my guess is the Iranians will just hunker down and wait until a new US administration takes power. Like they did with Carter.
I have to say... their QB is a tough SOB. We will find out more about them as the season goes on but I don't think Michigan is going to be a big threat to them. Barring Western Michigan being the best team in the G6. Which I tend to doubt.
That would be a bold plan to win the war with Iran and drive down gas prices.

Bingo.

Now I’m not expecting that but at least good enough to not have to leave the starters in 4 quarters against north Alabama


Our old archnemesis... turnovers and dumb penalties kept North Alabama in that game. We didn't play fantastic but if we handle the ball and don't do stupid things the Hogs probably would have played the backups in the 4th quarter.

That is a major concern. Last year it destroyed Petrino's shot at winning the job full time. This year, with this schedule, the potential is there for it to be even worse. Silverfield and his staff have to clean this up fast or we are heading into Chad Morris territory.
In nature, when an environment undergoes a radical change, it is the species that are best adapted to the old environment who die out first.

Dabo was perfectly adapted to how things used to be done. Well, the times they are a changin'.
