They best come with a better clown.

08/31/24 oSu vs SDSU

OFFENSE
1) Blocking needs to improve. We ran a lot of zone read option plays. When we are doing this, it's hard to run a lot of gap scheme plays. I would rather see Dunn call designed gap scheme run plays or play action passes.

2) Ollie needs to hit the hole hard and fast. He spent way too much time dancing around at the line of scrimmage and not going full speed. He needs to be way more decisive in his reads. Running more gap scheme plays will help in this area too.

3) At times the oSu offense was running at a break neck pace and the SDSU defense couldn't keep up. There MUST be a rule change after this season regarding players faking injuries to slow down offenses. I think Gundy's idea is the best. He believes anybody that is "hurt" on defense (where an official time out is used) shouldn't be allowed to play for the rest of that series unless a team uses one of their own timeouts. Today's game was slowed down over half a dozen times due to injured players or cramping players. This rule needs to change because it's ruining the game of football.

4) Our time management needs to improve. Why in the world are we still running a hurry up offense in the 4th quarter with a lead and refuse to pass the ball against a stacked box? I believe we had 3 three-and-outs and ran very little time off the clock. I remember seeing Bowman snap the ball with 20-25 seconds on the clock multiple times in the fourth quarter while simultaneously trying to run the ball to run out the clock. This makes no sense. The coaches and the players can do better.

5) Bowman played much better in the season opener than he did most of last season, but we will face better defensive lines who will give him a lot more pressure. I don't remember seeing him throw off his back foot, which is a great thing to see. He did have one play where the ball should have had been intercepted. He needs to learn to throw the ball to where only his receiver can catch it or it goes out of bounds. This may have been the reason for his inaccuracies to Stribling yesterday. If it wasn't for Stribling's incredible hands most receivers would not have made those three incredible catches.

6) We have three legitimate NFL receivers in Stribling, Presley, and Owens. I don't know if all of them will get drafted to, but they will all make an NFL roster or practice squad. Hopefully Stribling will stick around for another year.

7) Anytime we are up by 4 scores in the 4th quarter or up by 3 scores with less than 10 minutes remaining, we need to try and get Flores some game action. He is a very talented kid and needs experience in games. This way when he is needed he has game experience and isn't overwhelmed by the moment.

DEFENSE
1) Tackling is once again an issue for oSu. SDSU missed very few tackles. This is a coaching issue and needs to be fixed in practice with tackling drills. I know Gundy is always worried about players getting hurt, but tackle freshman who aren't going to be playing in the games. They can be tackling dummies.

2) There is still too much confusion in the secondary. This leads to way too many huge gains when receivers are running wide open.

3) Our DB's are going to get abused against a good team. I think we are the only college team whose corners are taught to play the receiver and not the ball. This makes absolutely no sense. Look at the NFL, do you see corners playing the receiver or do they turn their head to play the ball? Watch Alabama and Georgia, pay attention to what their corners do. I think this is an issue with our DB coach. Gundy needs to get with him to change his philosophy to match what we see in the NFL and the great defenses in the college game.

4) Our safeties cannot defend 12 yards off the ball in man-to-man. Why is this still an issue every year? We are not disguising our coverages and teams know how to exploit this. We need to mix up our coverages on third and long and run more zone (as long as we still rush at least four people).

5) I would love to see us go back to some bump and run coverages in the secondary. This throws off the timing of offenses and allows our defense to disguise our coverages when we are playing man-to-man or zone.

6) What I miss the most about those Jim Knowles defenses is his attacking style. I loved how he used a lot of bump and run coverages in the secondary, but the thing I miss the most were those blitz disguises. Pre-snap the opposing team offenses never knew where the pressure was coming from or when.

Here are the SDSU game highlights.

Cade has had three straight triple doubles:
17 pts, 11 rebs, 11 assists vs Lakers in 12 point win
20 pts, 10 and 10 vs Hornets in 1 pt loss
22, 11, and 13 in 1 pt win vs Hawks and Trae Young Friday night

In win vs Hawks, Cade made great drive over two players with 8 seconds left for the 1 point lead. Then, blocked Trae's last second shot under the basket.
Very few guards in the NBA ever have 3 straight triple-doubles.

For the season he's at 23 pts, 7.2 rebs, 8.2 assists, 47% shooting, 34% threes, 85% from the line.
Sunday the Pistons play in Houston at 2:00. Rockets have a solid defense.

I offer this without comment & a bleeding tongue.

A shot across the bow:

Perfect bitches!!!!!!

OU loses on a scoop & score

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Egregious to keep him on staff any longer

Experiment failed

I can’t find the link?

Nice and quietly at the end of the year. Nice buyout agreement, a gold watch, and some well wishes so he can be a cut up on ESPN.
This is a job not meant to be done forever and 20 years is a pretty long time.

Democrats, if you’re wondering why America voted for Trump, allow me to explain:

The truth is, the American People are sick of your shit.

You ruined our nation and our culture. You openly mocked, belittled, and discriminated us, then called us racist, misogynist, Nazis when we started noticing.

You defiled and corrupted all of our great institutions, to include the media, social media, tech, academia, intelligence, health, pharma, Hollywood, entertainment, sports, EVERYTHING! You weaponized every aspect of American life, and used it to push your insane far-Left agenda down our throats.

You told us Trump was a Russian asset that was going to start WW3 and would be worse than Hitler. Then you used that as an excuse to justify hatred towards Trump supporters and to riot in the streets. You used it as an excuse to obstruct and ruin Trump’s entire first term, and it turned out it was all a lie.

Then during Covid, you demanded we all be forced to take medical experimentation without testing. You wanted dissenters locked in prison. You wanted children taken from their anti-vax parents. You wanted the anti-vax in camps. You were rooting for our deaths. Then it turned out you were wrong about everything from the man-made origin, to masks, to vaccines, to social distancing, to ivermectin, to HCQ, to natural immunity, and everything in between.

Then during Ukraine, you told us that Ukraine was a bastion of Democracy, and that they desperately needed all of our tax dollars. Then it turned out that Ukraine is one of the most corrupt nations in the world, with literal Nazi military forces, and it was actually just a money laundering operation to steal from the American taxpayer. You want to defend Ukraine’s borders more than our own. You sent hundreds of billions of dollars on the other side of the planet, while Americans are suffering, all based on more lies.

Then there’s the whole Epstein, Diddy, human-trafficking element. You all told us VEHEMENTLY that human-trafficking was a myth, you told us the border was secure, and you told us that anyone who questioned it was an irredeemable & deplorable conspiracy theorist (and a piece of garbage). You said anyone who watched “Sound of Freedom” was a QAnon extremist and threat to democracy. Then it turned out to be true, and the elites really are engaged in unspeakable crimes against children. After you all told us for decades this was not true. You covered up the most heinous crimes imaginable, for political gain.

I could do this for days, but I think you get the point. The American People are awake to the scam and the true evil going on around us, and we are not going to stand for it anymore. So we hired Donald J. Trump and his team of Patriots to rectify the situation, and bring America back to her greatness.

This is the reality of the situation. You are the bad guys, and you have been deceived. The sooner you wake up to it, the sooner you can join us in repairing this nation. Or you can choose to deny reality, and spend the rest of your lives consumed by hate, based on lies.

The choice is yours.

Signed: A True American Patriot

Do you some good to read this @dnhall

Something really good happens this off-season in the program. Was a fun ride when we were a better team/program.

Hoping whatever changes occur, that they allow this to occur again.

I love supporting the Cowboys and want to do so with pride and enthusiasm again.

Go Pokes!

Guy and a girl are sitting right behind the ESPN+ announcers Manzer and Hildebrandt. It’s halftime and they were talking about the ebbs and flows of the game, and the guy in the background held his phone up right behind them, clear as day, in all caps: FIRE DUNN AND NARDO. 😂

Camera shot had no choice but to keep it trained on them and the phone in the background.

How can we with this mess? We have to make big changes to make ourselves attractive for anyone. Let alone generating NIL money, again.

Even Iowans are ripping us.

Should we take the high road on this one?

Anything that leads to them having less contact with Ben Shapiro is good in my book.

Great reason I don’t get caught up in who picks who.

Utah, KSU, OSU picked as favorites. Co. And BYU were afterthoughts.

I think we should look at a couple current FCS HCs for our next OC and DC.

My suggestions would be...

OC/QB: Brent Vigen - Montana State - current salary $214,650 + bounuses

DC/LB: Jimmy Rogers - South Dakota State - current salary $310,000 + bounuses

It would be even better if we could add another as OL coach too.

OL: Jason Eck - Idaho - current salary $175,000 + bounuses

I love this from the Washington Post editorial board. They try to lay blame on Kamala for covering up Biden's obvious cognitive decline, while they ignore the role they and the rest of the MSM had in covering it up. The MSM has proven itself to be untrustworthy.

Will go down in the history books
