Yeah that will suck but it's not a forgone conclusion by any stretch. They come out next year as poorly prepared as they did this year I'll be right there with you. What's the point in dumping any optomism though? I don't know if it's fool's gold or if it's true improvement but if the defense had looked like they have lately in any of the past 5 years then Mullen and Napier teams would have won several more games. Several. We haven't seen any improvement on that side of the ball in years. Couple that with lagway and company and I think you have to sit back and let it play out. Ymmv
I said in this very thread you've called our class a turd and pathetic. The class, which isn't finished btw, is comprised of the players in said class. I'm sure you'll now backpedal and say you meant something else. You've also downplayed "flipping a three star from Norvell" in the thread about the kid's commitment. Here on planet Earth it's obvious what you're doing.
I have him blocked but it sounds like a booting and a thread Cleanup is necessary. Shitting on a recruit welcome thread is definitely over the line.
Class ranking is part of program development. Sometimes you need a lot of bodies. Sometimes you need smaller number, higher stars. We have a TON of minutes going to first/second year players. Pipeline is pretty good... ...if you can keep players. That's the next thing. Stuffing the NIL budget helps. Having some positive momentum (especially as FSU and LSU trend down) helps. Frankly, having a staff that current players raves about, helps. As does actually getting players admitted into school. Which matters more for program development than "who won signing day." I wish there was a metric that tracked 4-year program development.
I haven't had as much time to visit Awesome Recruiting . . . but will now. If things don't improve voluntarily, and substantially, they will improve otherwise. 99% don't do it but we will not tolerate any of our kids being bashed, including recruits. I really appreciate those who have taken up for the kids!
Man I went to the Miami game. I can’t go back. That left such a horrible taste in my mouth, I want him gone until he wins. I could be proven wrong, but I also think you can’t pass up on a hot coach like Kiffin, and pairing him with VB3 Lagway Baugh etc
I’m not bashing the kids. This is clear. I’m bashing people being excited over flipping a three star from a dumpster fire school three weeks out from ESD, to give us a top thirty class. Reducing it to “bashing the individual” is such a lame excuse to look past all of the points I just said. To me, this is obvious.
UGA dropped this kid because they have a kid sitting the bench, who's even lower rated that Shivers. They stole him from us a year ago.
We’re all busy in life and Mods are no different. Thanks for coming here to clean up. As ESD approaches, we need not be the reason a recruit’s family gets a bad taste in their mouth. Individuals like said poster can do harm when curious eyes come along. Thank you!
Good loud cried that was electric but there were not 90k+ fans. That was the # of tickets sold. Hasn’t been “packed” all year contrary to announced crowd. Attendance maybe 80k. North end zone Sunshine seats 75%, holes in student section, LSU section not full and several unused seats in Section 5&7 near mine.
The announced attendance was 90,067 for the game. Attendance and tickets sold are not the same. You really think there were 80,000 in attendance? GTFO, your guess means nothing compared to the electronic gate count.
I don’t think they release the electronic gate count. The announced attendance numbers are usually closer to the sold amount than the scanned amount. Google says roughly 75% on average.
The electronic gate count in announced attendance includes everyone inside the stadium from fans to vendors and media. The game was sold out. That number is the same for every sellout as the number of seats doesn’t change. My source for this information is a friend who works in college athletics offices.
In truthfully would never advocate for people to get banned but the double standard here is hilarious. I hope the mods keep this up tho. I talk crap about the class? Ban threat. People call me a whiny bitch? What a silly goose
