AND I LIKE JENNINGS.

You guys have got to stop being so damn defensive about everything.

NEVER!

While one of the great things about Hogville is the fact that so many diverse fans can associate, the worst thing about it by far is that it contains so many people who don't seem to know how people interact on the Internet. Some of the stupid things I've seen people get lambasted for - including painfully obvious jokes because they didn't contain a sarcasm tag... I've honestly never seen it so bad anywhere else. Better to just drop this "discussion" and move on.

Just realized Pork Twain is Beo.

[Pork Twain]

True, thank god for Sam Pittman.  If not for him, we're in trouble.

I would have added Partridge and Taver, but they gone.

Thank God they were here for a minute.

Sorry to be part of derailing the thread, but from the beginning you have played the passive aggressive role here taking shots at our coaches.  Thank god for Pittman and the two coaches that left because without them, we just can't recruit.  Well other than the fact that this class is starting out to be the best one to date. 

Not being defensive about anything but step back and look at how your string of posts in this thread "appear".

Come on...  I left my real info under the picture

I just now looked at it.  I'm actually a fan of you. 

How's life, mane?

Doing good and getting settled into Virginia.  Charlottesville reminds me a lot of Fayetteville.  How you doing

going to be hard to beat OU out for this one..... nearly $400 million is facility upgrades and always a title contender.

If recruits look at the track record of UA coaching history they cant be comfortable knowing that the coach they sign with now will be here through their career let alone on signing day.

if CBB goes 3-9 again is he safe? are his assistants?

Needn't worry about CBB and crew. They're not going anywhere even should they go 3-9 again (which they won't). BTW don't crow about facilities until you've had a chance to check out the Hill's "digs". As far as the coaching is concerned I wouldn't count too much on any perceived advantage ole lil Bobby might have. Had he not managed to finally pull a rabbit out of the hat against 'Bama he would have been feeling some MAJOR heat after the miserable disappointments year after year in bowls during his tenure. Tradition-depends on who you ask. I dare say that "Boomer Sooner" is no better known around most of the country than "Woo, Pig Sooie".

Clearly uninformed. UA's OL coach is as good as it gets. He'll have a job at UA as long as he wants. He's the guy that turned down ALABAMA to stay at UA.

OU has fine facilities; so does UA. If you read what recruits say there is no marketable difference in the perception of the facilities.

Tradition is nice. It tends to be more important to alums than recruits. That said, OU has had more recent success and that is undeniable.

Troll away.

[Wildhog]

If we go 3-9 again, I'm going to want to burn down the campus.  In no universe would that be acceptable. Again.

[moto625]

6 Wins should make everyone happy after going 0-8 in the SEC.
Would love to have Sunderland Call the Hogs :razorback:

You need counseling...

Oh Good Lord....not another one of these guys. 

[lefty08]

In no universe could you make a legitimate case for Segrest over Partridge.  Partridge is a monster recruiter, and Segrest is a relative unknown.  I'm all for giving Segrest a chance, as he deserves it.  But to say he's an upgrade at this point is just dishonest.

He was unknown to you........there is a difference

[ARtillahog]

Tis true...

[Country Stylz]

Introduce him to Henry, skipper, Kirkland, Collins, and Ellis.  Ohio st or any other school on his list can introduce him to freshman that played as much and as well as that group. 

Lets these guys explain how they earned a starting spot.

Can we lock the border down over there please? Tired of these sooners crossing over into our land

[Rzbakfromwaybak]

I don't think you can promise playing time. If you do so and he doesn't play. He going to think you lie to him just to get him to come here. Not something I think we would want to start.

Exactly.  This kind of thing (being dishonest) will get you a bad rep with future players & high school coaches.  It will cut off recruiting ties to areas for years, or permanently. If a recruit talks to team members on visits, (which they will) & hears current players saying they were promised the same thing & it didn't happen....it will backfire.  Telling a high profile recruit that they are going to get an opportunity to play immediately....if they show they can....is the best route in the long run.  Parents almost always trust & like coaches they believe are being honest will them.

Oh Good Lord....not another one of these guys.

He does kind of have a point. The thing we need most of all right now to help out our recruiting woes is some coaching stability and slow improvement. I fully think BB is the man for the job, and I think he'll improve every year for the first four or five.

This is just a really tough time to be in the SEC - not that there was ever a super ideal time. All of the SEC West schools except for Mississippi State have coaches who have proven themselves to be high quality at some point or another. About half the East schools are in the same position. Our coach has proven himself to be too good elsewhere for me to be a doubter, we're just going to have to wait until he makes what he's trying to make. The good news is he's a young coach and he should outlast a lot of the other guys in the SEC.

Actually I'd settle for the present for just locking down this site from clowns bearing the "crimson and cream" or whatever god awful combination those idiots just to the west of us what to call their colors. OU my rear!!!
