More like a smelly, deep trench.

We should be winning by 30+ with backups rotating in the entire second half. I don’t think I’ll sleep this week.

Probably a smart move on your part. When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

Such an articulate, detailed response. Brilliant!

That looks credible. Enjoy your echo chamber, ace.

How so? Anyone in particular?

How dare he get engaged to a pop star!

Great get!

Probably easier to tie it to an arrest/conviction than a suspension.

One thing Saban knew is your program is built every day, relentlessly. You recruit like your hair is on fire 24/7. You don’t take even a month off. You adjust as the game evolves. He didn’t hesitate to bring in Kiffin and then Sark to run the offense. He would recruit and bring in transfers over existing talent if it made the team better. He’d pull or gray shirt commits if he could upgrade. He never stopped building, for a minute.

And they had a bunch of talent returning for third and fourth years in 2022 followed by them sticking around in 2023. Three first round picks who were all draft eligible the year before. DeBoer did great with what he had. But like at Fresno State he didn’t stick around long. I don’t blame him in the least, but he’s not a proven program builder.

DeBoer was blessed with a senior laden UW team who all came back for one last year in 2023. He’s yet to “build a program”. It shows.

Gruden would be as successful as Bellichick.

It’s a long season. I’d rather start slow and finish strong. Remember “Texas…. is back” after ND in 2016?

My guess is he has a couple of generations in his own family who can help him.

Brees failed the physical. NO took the chance and it paid off bigly.

Looking at this board I’d say Sark and Arch are taking their share of lumps.

That guy never got over the time I made fun of some backup LB of ours grad transferring to some crap FCS school in Louisiana. I guess he went there and got all, wait for it, sanctimonious!

Your sanctimony over others being sanctimonious is a peak which can never be scaled, skippy.

“Don’t talk down to people…” on a message board. Getting sanctimonious over perceived sanctimony. Brilliant!

They were National Championship worthy.

What high ground did you sense, ace? Some folks get a laugh out of people losing their minds over game one of a long season. And somehow you had to react to that, didn’t you? Were you being sanctimonious in your own right? Sure looks that way…

So, complaining about or mocking overreactions is sanctimonious. Gotcha.

I have to admit this board behaved better than the one many of our mods came from, where they soil themselves over our first three and out. Let’s hope this holds.

It’s funny when teams open with like minded teams. My guess is Bama isn’t as bad as they looked, and neither are we or Clemson.
