What I do like is that Butch is doing all of the things that lesser programs question title contenders about. Get shirts, transfers, over recruiting, coach speak, over recruiting, etc. As long as he starts winning like one too all is good. For the fans, players, and recruits.

Exactly. Better win. If he does, "Butch gets it."

Guys I need some advice. My half sister has an aunt. The aunt has her two sons living in the house, one of the sons baby girl and the mom of the girl. My niece just told me the other day for some reason she had to go to the house. Saw the little girl, she is about 1 year old. She was covered in head lice, house was disgusting and full of roaches. As soon as I heard I thought about calling child services. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna call as soon as I find out the address. Just wanted yalls opinion

I couldn't follow whose house it was, but I think I would approach them about it while also simultaneously contacting Child Protective Services.
I used to prosecute child abuse cases. The scenario you described often goes hand in hand with darker themes, namely drug abuse and neglect, or intentional abuse.
Better to be nosey and briefly upset someone at your intervention than to ignore it and see the story of the infant deceased from abuse and neglect a few months down the road.
Just IMO.

Call. The kid has no choice in the matter.

I see kids like this all the time in the ED. Breaks my heart.

If that is true, it is time to fire Jake. A young QB may mess it up, but every QB is taught to go throw their progressions on every pass play. If he isn't doing that it is on the QB and up to Jake to fix it. But if your comments are correct it explains why they are 65th in total passing.

I think if it was just up to Josh and Jake to fix it, it could be fixed. Unfortunately there's more moving parts to it than that. My theory based on watching this season is that Josh may very well be attempting to go through the progressions Jake has designed, but the combination of an inexperienced OL giving him little time to read downfield and young WRs/TEs struggling with consistency in gaining separation, catching the ball, etc leave him little choice but to go to his most reliable option (aka Pig). And in a totally unrelated crazy coincidence, the most experienced receiver on the team just so happens to be...you guessed it, Pig.

In summary: Young QB + young WRs + inexperienced OL = 65th in total passing.

It's a vicious cycle to have to play young guys because your older guys aren't very good, but that's where we are right now. It's also an illustration as to how an entire offense or defense can get broken if one unit isn't working exactly in tune with the others. Right now, we have multiple units not working exactly right, and the only prescription is time and experience. There's a reason Pinkel wins at Mizzou without a ton of blue chip guys - because they spend a lot of time learning, maturing, and growing before they ever see the field. We're going to have to get back to that if we want to see the success of the 90's replicated.

Good post. Makes sense. I am also very concerned with the guys they select to play. I know that Helm needs to add weight so he can be used more with having to be split out and there is no way Ellis is a better receiver. But it seems to me when the safeties are at the hashmarks 10-12 yards from the LOS, even an inexperienced QB will be able to look straight ahead, notice where they are, remember if there are any receivers designed to be in that wide open area on pass plays, and then throw them the ball. Against Vandy Jake called it once like in the 3rd quarter to Ellis and Dobbs overthrew it. It had been open the whole game as it was against Mizzou and was never called again. Dang, call it again and again. Let him try to throw a 12-15 yard pass to a wide open Helm and see what he can do. Keep calling it until the secondary has to adjust. It's simply not that hard.
