Also Halloween pre-dates it by 2 years, and more weird proto-slasher stuff like The Town That Dreaded Sundown came before that.

Halloween has 0 gore, watch it now and it does not really resemble the genre despite being the proto film of it. The genre takes its cues from F13th even if the framework was first done by Halloween. Even the halloween franchise starts cribbing F13th past its first 2 films to play catch up.

This is encroaching on cinema discusso territory, but suffice to say Friday the 13th is impactful for lots of reasons even it "sucks" (it ain't masterpiece cinema but it is foundational for that genre imo). Same way using Enter Sandman is at VT, we made it popular in the sports setting.

Sandman is p good at South Carolina they bring the energy.

Sometimes I wonder how much I'd have to donate for the Blue Band to arrange and perform Smack my Bitch Up.

I think it could work as one of those songs that happens between the national anthem and the team coming out.

Then with any leftover millions, how much more for the team to come out to Firestarter?

He was already incensed from the Minnesota game apparently, and the beat reporters have essentially confirmed that Coombs has been out of favor dating back to camp at a minimum because these busts were happening then too. The pass defense sucked last year, and it's improved because he's legitimately a good CB coach, but that's about the only nice thing I can say about the defense. Ironically, as much as the "This is because they don't have the guys" take has been reported, pretty much every reporter I've seen who watched the film back was like, "yeah, you can't have LBs taking 2-3 seconds to read a key and then moving" which comes back to Al Washington. The fix for the pass defense in the back end of last year was just to have the LBs focus on delay reactions to bluff coverage and then confuse the read--problem is you can run on that if you know it's there, which everyone should from the film. That's the part of the scheme that's broken, because it's impossible to run fit when you give the offense a head start, no matter how good your line is. The D-line deserves some scorn for the lack of pressure, but it's also pretty obvious that they essentially needed coverage/fits to hold up for long enough to get home with how that offense was working. Shaw was bad trying to run support, but you can't fault a safety for getting constantly owned when 2-3 LBs fail to make a play every down as well.

If the point of the defense being this pre-rotation Cover 1/3 stuff is that it's fast and clean, I don't totally understand why guys are waiting to break so much, especially since I can count the coverages on one hand right now. There's a loooot of coaches who are also floored that we're playing spot drop cover 3 over any attempt to pattern match which goes back to Coombs trying to ape Hafley but not getting what the actual point of that changeup was. I don't know what they possibly think they can install in the middle of the season, but it's going to have to cover for the fact that the middle 3-4 guys on the field have no idea what they're reading.

the perfect entrance song:

-needs to have sirens at the beginning
-needs a slow build to bring up anticipation then get faster for when players take the field
-needs to sound cool enough that college students and kids are into it while also being old enough that boomers can get behind it
-needs heavy bass drum or bass guitar to shake the stadium.
-needs a good cut off point about halfway through the song because the entrance isn't going to last that long

given all of that, I think enter sandman is a perfectly fine entrance song but we can definitely do better.

edit: also, explicit references to war or some kind of fighting. you have to establish that context for your football game nice and early.

I’m pretty sure you’ve literally described the song War Pigs by Black Sabbath.

Yeah he was too defensive. Backing up the bus over your defensive coordinator publicly like that could affect the kind of candidates you get later. Also you are the head coach and at least have some ownership of it. The guy is doing a bad job but you can take care of that internally.

NFL guys reporting on college job openings are never reliable, but for what it's worth I think he'd probably do as well as anyone else if this is actually on the table:

Not terribly excited at the prospect of him going back to the kind of environment where he had basically all of his trouble, but that was a long time ago.

He's very upbeat and rah rah like Pete was, the type of guy who gets you hyped up really easily.

Yeah I think he'd do well in college, seems to have the temperament for it and he was a college coach until relatively recently (in LA even) so it's not like it'd be a huge adjustment. Can't blame him either when the NFL keeps passing on him for bullshit reasons there's no reason he should still be an assistant.

I mean he has done some stuff since then.

I think the one big concern with him as far as college coaching goes is that he was on the Gary Barnett Colorado staff when they went through a lot of stuff that was not terribly dissimilar from what happened at Baylor under Briles, though it's the same thing you run into with any Baylor assistant from that period when it's unclear how involved he was or what level of responsibility any individual assistant had. Definitely something I think most people (including me until I was reminded) have probably forgotten or don't associate him with that is going to probably come up if he's a serious candidate.

Cant take their eyes off that long ball that is so long no receiver will ever catch up to it. Just all googly eyed.

Hooker looked like he was actually just a lot better for the offense even if he has his limitations from what I saw. Either he's protecting the younger guys in this opening season or Heupel just doesn't have a dude he thinks can reliably throw 4 verts with an easy catchable ball cause neither of them looked like THE ANSWER.
