Save yourself by saying you meant to say Sage Ryan.

That will make everything better.
It's going to be interesting, but surely, choking this game is too tall of a task... right?

Right??

What is with that guy?

He makes head scratching plays of opposite varieties. Sometimes, I'm scratching my head at his terrific play-making abilities wondering "How'd he do that?".

Other times I'm shaking my head wondering "Why'd he do that?".

Hog fans, has this been the theme all year for Green?

Ngl I thought Kelly was a solid hire too and the best "get" by an SEC school since Saban. Boy was I wrong...


Your honesty is a breath of fresh air, sir.
Putting everyone's bias aside, the hire was a big deal. On paper, LSU had just hired its most qualified coach in the school's history. The all-time winningest coach in Notre Dame history was on board. Of course, nobody here knew that he was coming to collect a check and not put in the hard work. So with that knowledge, it's not surprising it didn't work out.

Beware Bama friend, this is a new era of college football. The volatility of this sport is at a height never before seen. If you expect your coach to be there in five years, prepare to be disappointed. Y'all may be finding yourselves in the shoes of Florida, LSU, and Auburn sooner than you think.
Great, I've got the inside scoop to share with everyone in the break room at work tomorrow.
So much for being an institution of higher learning.

Perhaps, but what makes our 0-line situation difficult to swallow is that there were plenty of options in the portal from smaller schools. An upperclassmen could have been a better one-year option than our current right tackle and gotten on the cheap.
So if our starting right tackle this season can't touch the field next year, that automatically means we are worse as a unit? Couldn't it be that we added better players?

I think he's shell shocked and not dealing with failure well after so much personal success in the sport. It's a hard aspect of life and sports in general. Adversity can hit a person like a train and let's be honest, does anyone think he saw this disaster of a performance and season coming? It's not easy to deal with the reality of not being as good as you thought you were at something you love and get paid for doing.

I hope he and the players can somehow pull it together for next week.

In other words, his daily routine.
I'm not totally discounting what you are saying and believe there is merit to it.

But there is playing tight and then there is playing with horrible technique and lack of agility. I expect us to look better in many aspects of the game. But, does not being tight get our line to block better? Not likely, which is my biggest concern. Hopefully, a fresh play caller is able to hide our deficiencies better than Sloan did.

My goodness would it be sweet to relive 1993 again!
Not everyone is interested in attending unscheduled Pride events in their own home.

Good thing Alabama absolutely won't lose to this team at home.
That'd be embarrassing.


Exactly. Sort of akin to pigs flying before Bama would ever lose at home to a subpar LSU football team.

Do Mormons actually believe in God?


If by "God" you mean the term in the Anselmian sense as "a being than which nothing greater can be conceived", or the Aristotelian sense of a "Prime Mover", or Thomistic sense as the "Uncaused Cause", then no, Mormons don't believe in God.

I say that because their metaphysics is completely incoherent. When you reject the principle of sufficient reason and additionally believe that effects can be greater than causes, then you are left to accept whatever nonsensical statements a self-professed prophet may claim as divinely inspired. That is in no way a commentary on Mormons as a whole or as individual persons but a critique of their established theological framework. As it relates to the question, their theology is fallacious on several fronts and leads to an infinite regress which in no way has a terminus in a supernatural presence anyone would recognize as God.

Good stuff. That is interesting history. Thanks for sharing!

Agreed. For instance, someone might say, "Golly, those cheerleaders at AtM sure are 'unique'".
