Other than ya'll hiring the guy a lot of us wanted to hire, not a ton of drama in this one. Will probably be over by halftime.

Sure bets:
1. We will insert our 5-5 165 lb RB on any short yardage play instead of EITHER 220 lb bruiser.
2. Let us get behind 3 points or more and we will completely abandon the run and throw it every down.
3. We will look mostly decent on defense until a routine play gets us out of position and you go 80+ in about 3 plays because of it for a back breaking TD.
4. Whatever the strength of your defense... we will go right at it instead of trying to find something to pick on.
5. We will woefully lose the turnover battle.
6. We will get at least 1 TD called back due to a senseless penalty.
7. HY will still be our AD after the game despite his ineptitude.

I think that about covers it..... :rotflmao:

Beyond ready for Basketball.

Real talk though... I really miss being able to enjoy football.... :wah:

Aside from your HC being a frickin nerd, I really could care less about Mizzou... and in TOTAL fairness, we've been so bad it's hard to create a rivalry when the other team doesn't win.... what is it... 6 straight now or some crap?

Hard for either side to care very much.
I was at the Independence Bowl several years ago when we won and the Mizzou fans were such jerks I could have seen it then.... but that was then, these days we are just pathetic.
I blame our incompetent AD.

I'll take basketball and baseball level success in football in a heartbeat!

Because of being an NFL owner, JJ is limited in what he can do with our program. (at least that's what the talking heads say)

Jimmy has had no significant contact with us that I can ever remember.

Most of the people of influence around our program are "good ol' boys" and play the politically correct game instead of ruffling feathers.

We need someone to come in and disrupt the status quo at this point.

Say what you want about Bazzel but what dude has done with the Little Rock TD Club is impressive.

Yes I agree.

SO..... I've been just silently marinating on all of this for two weeks now.

my meager thoughts:
1. There is clearly no drive from within the BOT, Gov, AD, Fortune 500 execs, to fix this thing.... that's a clear leadership issue. We can't vote all of those folks out but we can 1.
Give me someone to run this state that takes pride in being a HOG.
2. I have no idea if RS can get this done or not, but I know dang well Cramsey is not a high level OC. He needs to go NOW. SOOOO Freaking BAD!!!!!!
3. I think we have 1 legit offensive weapon.... Marshall.
Not a fan of S. Smith, Russell, Settles, Parker, etc... run game isn't all thier fault but they aint helping either. Of course with a line that can't move a Jr. High LB, they all look bad. And OBVIOUSLY we have less than average QB play. At this point give Hendrix a chance.... can't be much worse.

4. Goes with 3.... NIL money was clearly not spent in the right places... OL is awful. D Line is servicable and so are LB's. Think we are bad at WR and Safety. Whoever evaluated this bunch swung and missed!

Time for a big overhaul... starts with Yuracek but it's a BOT issue as well.

The AD does this shite to Hog football but gives Calipari a sweet deal with guaranteed NIL $$ AND tells Cal he doesn’t have to waste his valuable time fund raising for NIL, he can just focus on coaching and recruiting. WTF kind of operation is this?

---

You realize that HY didn't pull this off, right? The chicken man got the Cal deal done. HY just rode the coattails and puffed his chest our like it was all him.

In less than 2 games I have lost all confidence in Cramsey. Listening to him talk you can tell he wants you to think he's the smartest guy in the room but we are running a freakin PeeWee offense... and NOT WELL at that.

WOW... thanks for all that.
