Lol. Yeah. A little.
The drought has been pretty nasty. The last time this region got hit this hard, the Anasazi moved out of Mesa Verde.
@BamaFanNKY must be ecstatic over this news. I know heās been less than thrilled with Bill OāBrien from day one. Canāt say I blame Bama. OāBrien wasntā exactly good at HC of the Texans.
Yes. I also believe Bill Belichick has reached the point in his life he refuses to meet new people and learn new names. lol.
They keep reporting he worked with Mac Jones but he really didnāt. He came in for the playoffs but wasnāt there developing. I canāt wait though. Weāre getting a new OC and DC. Something we needed this past season.
Should be an interesting change. Saw some speculation, think it was AL.com that Brian Johnson is long shot OC. Heās come a long way since he was our OC.
BJ is a QB savant. Itās amazing what he has done with QBās. I think Philly will lose their OC in the next year or two and BJ will take over in Philly. Iāve been told he will take some HC interviews as well this spring. Not so much that he has a realistic shot at being a HC, but to get his name out there, go through the process, and start to get ready to be a HC.
What BJ has done with QBāsā¦itās crazy how good heās been.
Heās up for OC at both my teams. Bama and the LA Rams (again, I am an LA Sports fan since childhood).
Iād like to see him get a shot. He is, as @Swanton says some sort of QB savant. Look at how heās help Jalen Hurts over the last couple of seasons. I may dislike the Eagles, but I have to respect their talent, and that includes coaching.
Nick pulling the UW OC?

Welp. Nick ended up hiring NDās OC and Miamiās DC.
Two boring hires that I weirdly like. Not flashy, sexy or even interesting. Steele has been on Nickās staff and those defenses were NASTY. He canāt recruit but thatās not an issue. Tommy Rees hire is getting crapped on but the dude is getting a major upgrade of talent leaving ND.
Thoughts on fans storming the field or court? I think it should be outlawed for good. It appears the SEC is considering a plan that would punish the home team when fans rush the field or court by taking away the right to host that same team next time they play.
I wonder how many fans would comprise āstorming the fieldā? 50? 100?
You know there are going to be fans who donāt care what that the consequences would be loss of the next home game with that opponent, or even that the game they just won would be forfeited. We have learned that people can be that stupid or uncaring.
And, there are plenty of opponents who would be more than happy to claim the victory, even though unearned.
Based on MWC experience with a certain team now headed to the BIG 12, I get the knucklehead problem in play here. Too often the knuckleheads run around sucker punching people (I.e. KWās wife getting punched), damaging the field, or outright fighting one another. Yes itās a mess and the knuckleheads should be prosecuted for their misdeeds. Ideally, people quit storming the fieldā¦not likely.
That stated, it will cost a fortune to provide enough security to keep the fans off the field. Unfortunately that means ticket prices will go up.
Itās a mess. With no good answer.
Utah is not one to cast stones when it comes to storming the field behavior. Remember the BYU game with 3 separate endings? Or suspender boy going after and then quickly retreating from Bronco?
I think storming the field is stupid, I have never gone down myself. But trying to restrain thousands of exuberant, frenzied fans is pretty much hopeless. Unless you issue citations with significant fines to each one as they exit the field.
It is stupid and dangerous. Iām glad to see the SEC is looking at some ways to stop it from happening.
Iām not even sure what Alabama would storm the field for anymore. But, I was there when UK beat Alabama in the 1990s and I understood why. It was a madhouse and I was worried about the kids on the goalposts.
Apparently, Saban has had a hit on his legacy for losing a spot in the playoff by one spot. Legacy on the line this year? What? ESPN is getting dumber and dumber.
Nickās place in history is safe as Bear Bryant 2.0.
Itās like these morons think history is whatever happened over the last 365 days (or less). Then again these are the same idiots who are already crowning Victor Wembanyama a dynasty player and he hasnāt even played a game that matters yet.
Paul Finebaum was the back up equipment manager at his Junior High and High School !
I remember reading an article in the 70ās where the author said something to the effect:
āThe Notre Dame fans are up in arms because they havenāt won a national title since last year.ā
Edit to add: And this was in a pre-season article!
