lol. this was pure gold. I had to go back and read it a couple times. from the Brodner thread. from BlkGld1999.
I hope they also keep up this level of recruiting.
I can't believe there are people over there that think anything less than 5 wins for that team is a failure. I'm saying with a less talented team and harder schedule than last year if they get more than 3 wins that should be labeled a success
FlyDore03But from a talent standpoint it shouldn't be that close -- WKU lost to some bad teams last year and was one of the worst defensive teams in the country. They are a slightly more talented and significantly better coached version of ODU
vandy375. 300lb DE's? am I that bad at understanding a 3-4? I know you want bigger DEs but that is massive.It would be a serviceable size to play DE in a 4-3 at 280 lbs but most in a 3-4 scheme your DEs are like 4-3 DTs (roughly 300-310 lbs) and your nose tackle is 320+ lbs.
They sure are. They are acting like all their losses were to top 10 teams barely eeking out a victory
or the crap HC. they now have an established DC but no HC, that should work out great. look for more sideline confusion
they are completely sold that their performance vs us was the real Vandy team. and that their OC will add 100 yards to their offensive production per game. (those numbers were made up but they are convinced their OC was THE thing holding them back.)
they say he is atleast a 4 star at worst but his offer list is trash lol.
And the "4.4 laser-timed 40" just means it's going to be that much more painful when he runs head-on into Kahlil McKenzie.

Here are a few fun facts about Vandy's original benefactor, Cornelius Vanderbilt:
1) He wasn't a commodore, but he did own a shipping company. He encouraged and promoted the use of the term "commodore" to help lease ships to the Union navy during the Civil War.
2) Speaking of the Civil War, the government paid for his ships with government bonds, which were very volatile during the war. He was already well off, but he became a very wealthy man by using insider trading information to illegally manipulate the bond
market during the war, costing taxpayers millions of dollars.
3) Vanderbilt married his first cousin, and they had 13 children. When his first cousin/wife died, he married another cousin who was 45 years younger than him!
Feel free to use these fun facts against all the pompous and entitled Vandy fans who probably don't know that the Vanderbilts were inbred cheaters with no connection to the navy.
I can muster some grace for a loss or two where it appears the staff has a clue and there are obvious improvements.
Come out with two totally disorganized, clueless, deer-in-the-headlights losses with a lot of "huh?" coaching moments, and my patience may wear thin.
I'd like to be able to come out of the first few games saying "we can see what this staff is up to, and it's headed the right direction." There's no reason an experienced OC like Ludwig and an experienced DC like Mason shouldn't be able to come out of the gate looking like there are professionals at the helm.
