Hix Green made the Catch

Not without some changes, imo. CDC's own job requires him to address this situation responsibly and seriously. He can't allow Sark to destroy the football program. It's definitely trending downward now...If we all can see it, so can CDC.

There is an excellent interview on youtube right now with Dave Wannstedt on Major Garrett's podcast. He says every coach has a window of time (sometimes it's only a year), usually 2-5 where the front office and/or the fans allow the coach to establish his game, his overall plan, his staff, his record, etc. Once you have peaked or are perceived to have peaked, it's just a matter of time.. Reminded me a lot of our current situation...Has Sark already peaked??? Sark is falling rapidly...he's losing the fan base. Perhaps KJ can pull us out of the fire...but can Sark pivot and re-invent himself?? Does he have the will to do it??

I don't relish CDC's position, but clearly (at least to me) a change is needed: 1. Bench Arch and put KJ in for the next game. Salvage what we can for this year. 2. CDC really does need to have a heart-to-heart with Sark, mano y mano. Find out what is really going on. 3. CDC starts a serious short list because there is too much riding on this program to allow someone to destroy it, which Sark is apparently very close to doing.

Maybe another tough win on the road actually helped his confidence as the team experienced another off the wall victory...

So you're saying the only way to go is down, right? 😢

It's actually a pretty nuanced and interesting story re the power struggle at MADD that got her tossed out. She always claimed she wasn't against alcohol, but rather against drunk driving, that MADD was becoming neoprohibitionist. Thanks for reminding me of that history...

I remember in the early 70's getting "Oaxacan Gold" was considered the creme de la creme. I wonder now if that wouldn't even register as anything special with what I hear are now insane levels of THC in today's weed.

People love to make jokes and sometimes we make snide remarks, etc, but I actually think you are correct...in 20 years we may finally admit how bad it was, particularly for people younger than 25 years old (brain deveopment). I appreciate your comment and the probable courage it took to make it, knowing that so many of us will probably pooh pooh it. It's a hot button topic. I remember when MADD first formed and how much bad and derisive criticism those mothers received from the rest of us...we could drive in those days with open containers in our cars!! And we did!! We smoked in grocery stores and traffic courts and teachers' break rooms and offices and hospitals(!!)...you get the picture...it was crazy where we all smoked...and this was up into the early 90's! I'll be curious to see what happens in the future...

I know, it's so far out, man...at least it was a very long time ago

Maybe we will achieve a full 60 minutes for the Championship!

I'm pretty sure that Lane and LSU are intentionally rebelling--it helps to foment an us-versus-them state "patriotic" fight against the big bad SEC trying to "run our lives". I really do believe it is calculated, to the end that it stirs up the passions and frenzy of the "loyal ones" while LSU could go unbeaten and could very well play for a national championship. They could go for undiluted, full-blown victim status--a David vs. Goliath that would galvanize SEC haters around LSU against bullying by the SEC. It never fails to amaze me at the lengths people will go just to get their way--doesn't matter to them the chaos and destruction that's left in their wake. I detest LSU right now for its selfishness, but that's just me...I understand where Lane is coming from, but it's an extremely parochial view...very sad.

My first thought...

Mine was Jack Collins from the 1959 team that played national champion Syracuse in the Cotton Bowl. He played a great game in that loss to what was clearly a superior Syracuse team. I still remember the cover of Dave Campbell's Texas Football the following summer: "Jack Campbell--Texas' next All-American back?"

Right... from Sonny Gibbs, wasn't it? He was 6'7" as I recall, Gibbs that is.

I know what you mean, but I must correct my post above. Texas played TCU in the odd numbered years in Austin, so both of the upsets from '59 and '61 occured at home... By the way there are still quite a few of us from that era! ☺️
