PSA: There is a football season to be played next year

The problem I think so many of you fail to to acknowledge is not where we are. It's where we have been and where we need to go from here.

This is not a black or white issue, Collins in or Collins out. Compared to his predecessor, Collins has done amazing things on the recruiting front, but in that same comparison the product of those gains is awful.

This is very much the same argument people were making about Johnson except we had a mostly competent offense and his teams were lacking in rercruits and defense.

So the issue with Collins, because of lackluster results, is that we need to start heading up parabolically and that needs to begin now. What so many are acknowledging is that the odds of that happening is really low.

While we can gamble on positive results next year, it's becoming a Martingale situation where if we don't hit it big, we're digging ourselves into a hole that is increasingly harder to escape from in the subsequent years. We just don't have the type of program that can endure much more flatline.

So, Ignoring the fact that Collins will be getting next season by default, if your expectations are that 5 or 6 wins is good enough next year, you don't understand how this has been a terrible investment in time cost and your standards are subpar.

Of course, if he delivers that 8 win season, he's turned the corner, but imo even 7 wins doesn't do anything but buy him some more wait and see.

Two 4-star DT, 4-star OL, 4-star QB, 4-star WR per rivals. Add a 4-star RB and DB per 247.

Willis was always shaky and the other losses were typical stuff.

Stars basically mean nothing to me now. We’ve had so many 4-star misses recently it’s crazy.

Which ones? Hard to judge Blackstrain and Blackburn from 21’ class. Sims, Gibbs, Brooks, Ivey, McCullum, Tatum, Rutherford, Griffin, Yates all look(ed) the part so far. Who am I missing?

öööö! Sorry, paper or plastic? I'm kinda new to this. Do I put an NIL contract in there, or is it still unmarked tens and twenties?
 
Did you guys know that two sausage egg McMuffins with cheese and a large coffee with cream and sugar is like $6.50? That’s an insane deal, especially given that their coffee is decent and McMuffin is the best thing to eat at McD’s.

Sausage biscuits from McDonald's were always my hangover food. You used to be able to grab two of those babies for only four bucks.

Please define the "amazing" things he has done in recruiting. We were 48th last year and stand at 37 this year (down from 24th just last week). Better recruiting than previously, yes. Amazing things? Not seeing that.

These kids have worked their ass off to be here and despite the negatives still shaping up to be one of the best classes to be here in a long time.

You all are embarrassing yourselves.
