My recollection of what he (Groverat) said was something to the effect of “I can’t imagine how frightened Sandusky must be right now,” like, in an empathetic way. That was a an odd thing to say first thing out of the gate in regard to that scandal, but I wouldn’t say that it was tantamount to apologia.

Dude had like 30 carries in total, that’s a Butch Jones issue not your memory.

He had a little over 200 over 2 seasons and somehow had less carries his second.

He averaged just over 6ypc.

74 catches and averaged just over nine ypc.


To put more of a “what the gently caress” on it, in 2016, Jalen Hurd had 122 carries to Kamara’s 103. Kamara played in 11 games to Hurd’s 7.

EVIL PEOPLE - GOOD PEOPLE - I AM GOOD PEOPLE

The PDF is disturbing, and it's pretty goddam easy to see how this all shook out. Sandusky is a deeply insecure and terrified human being. I wouldn't be surprised if he killed himself, and if it's a pound of flesh you want from him, then be sated by the fact that he has lived much of his life in mortal terror of both his own desires and the society that wants to crush him for those desires.

I know its your thing to minimize condemnation of sex crimes of all sorts but that post came after we knew enough to know what a monster Sandusky was and...really just go to hell with this stuff. He was apologizing for Jerry Sandusky wanting to assault children because he couldn't control himself, that was the post.

it wasn't just that groverat said that he was sad about Sandusky being scared he also strongly implied that Sandusky couldn't help himself so people shouldn't be so quick to judge. It was really gross. Also he sucked generally so he didn't get any benefit of the doubt. There was a lot of mod stuff I would do differently now but that one isn't on the list.

My recollection is that it was fairly normal by the standards of people who get really invested in recruiting (which can admittedly be pretty weird and gross) but the combination of people exaggerating to make fun of him followed by that post made it seem extra bad in hindsight

One of the nice things about a complete loss of hope is that no part of me expects Nebraska to win against Illinois. And Frost has emerged as enough of a heel that I can sorta enjoy watching him implode. I do feel bad for the guys on the team though, it seems like a miserable situation.

Worked pretty well when he was OC of Mizzou

At the very least we’ll hopefully score more than the 20pts ppg we did last year.

It’ll also be nice to not have a meme coach for a while.

The SEC is changing in that regard though. Bama slings it all over the place, LSU did it 2 years ago and tried to do it last year, Mullen did it at UF last year to great success, Leach is Leach, and Smart seems like he wants Monken to open it up at UGA. The ground and pound days are long gone.

I would say that Saban adjusting to modern offenses and getting one of his own when it became clear he couldn't continue dominating with a ball control offense and a defense that won him games is probably the best coaching adjustment anyone's ever made in my lifetime

Like you genuinely just would not expect a CFB coach to sign off on that radical a change in a program he had been that successful at, or at least I wouldn't have

Yeah, just more proof Saban is probably the best that will ever be.

The other one would be Swinney realizing his considerable tactical limitations, accepting that cheerleading and recruiting are his strengths, and paying the gently caress out of great coordinators after he lures a bunch of impressionable teenagers to upstate South Carolina. It's incredible to think how close he was to getting fired because he couldn't keep his loving hands off the offense. It sounds so simple but so many coaches gently caress it up badly (MUSCHAMP YOU gently caress).

2019 UGA should be standard viewing for any coach unwilling to take this next step. Dawgs had 5-star talent you dream about everywhere, the best OL in the biz, a historically great defense, and the ploddy, fart-in-the-mud ball-control offense got them beat by loving South Carolina, humiliated in the SECCG, and generally unable to perform watchable football.

This is pretty much the James Franklin blueprint also, but he's been less successful at it because he's only had one good OC. But maybe Mike Yurcich is the guy to put the program over the top. At least until he gets a HC job somewhere in 2 or 3 years. QB coaching has been very underwhelming since Franklin took over. He's recruited some 4* QBs, none of which have really emerged as top tier players. Trace McSorley was a good player whose tenaciousness overcame his physical limitations, and he was helped a lot by having Saquon Barkley two years and Miles Sanders his senior year.

Yeah you have to make good hires, and Dabo has had good instincts on that sort of thing.

I think he's a tremendous goober with lovely views but the man proved to be a malleable coach and was smart enough to play to his strengths.

It's remarkable to think about watching 3 win Clemson teams in the 90s and how far they've come. Obviously Tommy Bowden built a pretty solid recruiting foundation that Dabo continued and turned it up to 11.
