“He is 35-62 in the SEC since arriving in Lexington. He inherited a real mess, but in his 12 seasons in Lexington he has only 2 years with winning records (5-3) in the SEC. As far a trends go, he is 17-34 in the conference the last 5 seasons.”

Taken from HOB, so I assume it’s correct, but the record against SEC is abysmal. 27 games under, which alone should be a fireable offense. If it weren’t for all of the cupcakes that have been added it would be embarrassing.
 
My issue with QBs sliding is that there have been a few (cough Mahomes) who have done that little fake slide thing and then keep going.

Secondly, when you slide you are completely giving yourself up to get killed if the defensive players doesn't stop (see Lawrence, and, as a better example, the Robert Geathers / Trent Green hit). Perhaps the rule should be the QB needs to drop / spike the ball when he gives himself up. That way he can still protect himself but signal that he is going down.
 
If the boys lose tomorrow night this place will be a dumpster fire.
Disagree. We aren't going to win every game, and should expect a few bumps in the road. Pope has about as much goodwill as he could possibly have at the moment. A road loss to a solid team is nothing to worry about at all.

It's honestly stunning that he's gotten us into the top 5 in year 1 with a 100% rebuild.
 
Also, this basketball team has a TON of runway/room to get better. Let that sink in for a minute. LOL
-I heard someone say we've probably only seen about 40% of our offense so far. I've seen a lot of passes not made on cuts that are wide open (more often than not they're back cuts).

Watch how Jaxson maneuvers through the offense and once everyone is reading things more like him and cutting more definitively, we're gonna have a ton more open looks.

-BG practicing and should be back tomorrow. Game is a pick em.

-Bama at UNC, Auburn at Duke, Marquette at Iowa State and Baylor at UCONN Wednesday.

No I meant as in all the bad news with the football team on top of our first basketball loss.
I was one of the guys who would be happy with an NIT this year if it meant getting rid of Cal, so Pope has already climbed to Everest base camp as far as I am concerned. I have no doubt we will reach the summit soon and Pope has been pretty much perfect since taking the job.

And yes we will take some losses this year, but I don't think tomorrow night is going to be one.
 
Anyone want free tix to NC St/Fl St this Sat? Me either, but a supplier sent to me so trying to pawn them off. I get tickets all the time to Hurricanes and Panthers, no interest.

I do take them up on the concert tix though.

- Amazing how the same group of 4-5 people blindly defend Cal and Stoops on HOB.
 
I'm just now getting around to the Marrow interview. He basically admitted they did no background check or due diligence on the portal guys they brought in? That checks out.
Another time I knew he was an idiot. The first practice with Levis he was shocked at how strong his arm was. He just couldn’t believe it. Keep talking about how surprised he was.

Mark, do you even watch the tape? We literally bring in QB1’s on nothing but a rec/hope.
 
On a side note, I’ve really enjoyed watching those Southeast16 guys on YouTube this season. They do a great job of covering the conference. After taking a wait and see approach to Pope and the Cats they are now swinging from his nut sack

You ever get Cane's tickets you don't need, holla at your boy. I'd gladly drive the 2 1/2 hours to see those dudes again.
 
I get offers for Canes almost weekly. Took the fam 2 yr ago, not my thing. Was a DJ party with sporadic hockey playing.

I cannot recall a college basketball season with this much excitement during the first 4-6 weeks of the season. It seems like every night there is a top 10 matchup scheduled. I know Kentucky being good again is part of it, but overall it’s just been an embarrassment of riches nationwide since the champions classic. Feast week was unreal and this week looks to be more of the same.
 
Add Maclin to the growing list of players leaving. He was only the best WR on the team. Too bad only Gavin knew that, ALL of his TD's was thrown by Gavin and most of his catches. BV simply would not even look his way, much less throw to him.

Oh, and the boys debuting the road denim jerseys at Gonzaga would go along for ol’ B Rax’s mental health this week
