U said that he doesn't know how ppl who follow the program feel. In the video he says he went to the other board and asked them just that.I did watch it... hes just regurgitating things we've all discussed on here before
NBA three pointer with tech foul and bench warningIf I keep hearing from people who donāt follow this program nearly as closely as I do about how great we are, Iām going to forget that American X curb stomping Old Fogie Mack slapped on Manure and the bowl game fail.
He didnāt say anything about us being great. He didnāt say we were good. He said weāve been recruiting well, weāve upgraded our staff, thereās opportunities with the portal AND if Manny doesnāt get extended, the next coach will be in a better position than Manny was when he got here. He said clearly that we need a grand slam at QB and King is just a home run. The foundation is being laid. Like it or not, weāre headed in the right direction.If I keep hearing from people who donāt follow this program nearly as closely as I do about how great we are, Iām going to forget that American X curb stomping Old Fogie Mack slapped on Manure and the bowl game fail.
We lost to FIU and finished with 2 five stars, 11 three stars, Stevenson came home, plug and play DE from Tennessee, Rambo from Oklahoma and the 12th ranked class. Iām not sure youāre āset us back 10 years is accurate. I am fully aware that we live in a now society, but I do believe we are progressing nicely. The program is in a better position today than it was only two years ago. We have 19 of 22 returning starters and three of those wonāt be the āstartersā. Depth will bring us that much needed dominance over lesser foes. Weāre not there yet, but weāre certainly not a single loss from going off the rails.700-2 bama. It takes 4 quarters. Not 1 and a half or 3 quarters. You gotta be sharp on all corners. The propensity is to not show up in big games, blow out nobodies, and play close ones against teams we should dominate. A debilitating loss to Bama will set us back 10 years easily.
Ok. We can dominate this year, but we really need a better effort at the start of games and throughout the games. At the end of the season they look like they would rather be hanging out at the Grove than smashing opponents.We lost to FIU and finished with 2 five stars, 11 three stars, Stevenson came home, plug and play DE from Tennessee, Rambo from Oklahoma and the 12th ranked class.

Been reveling for 18 years..most call it sufferingFwiw two kids going in the first round has helped to set a mindset of āget paidā and not just āget outā within our program. There are good things happening. It might be difficult for those that revel in sadness, but they are.
Iāll believe weāre heading in the right direction when we quit getting humiliated on the field and suffering some of the historically worst losses in modern progrum history. I donāt care what Vinny Video said because I am certain he doesnāt follow the progrum as closely as I do.He didnāt say anything about us being great. He didnāt say we were good. He said weāve been recruiting well, weāve upgraded our staff, thereās opportunities with the portal AND if Manny doesnāt get extended, the next coach will be in a better position than Manny was when he got here.

Both of those kids played one year of actual football here. So Iām not so sure it changes any mindset about leaving early.Fwiw two kids going in the first round has helped to set a mindset of āget paidā and not just āget outā within our program.

I feel like itās not about leaving early as much as it is leaving prematurely. Roche was a grad transfer and Phillips 4 years removed from high school. Weāve seen too many guys make awful business decisions.Both of those kids played one year of actual football here. So Iām not so sure it changes any mindset about leaving early.
I was talking about Phillips and Rousseau because thatās who he was referring to. And neither of those guys supports the point he was trying to make. In fact, if those two are your poster boys for sticking around, then you need a new ad campaign.I feel like itās not about leaving early as much as it is leaving prematurely.
