Before you try another straw man argument, I don’t claim to have any inside scoop (though I’m closer to our program than anyone here is close to the teams they follow, since you brought it up). I don’t need an inside scoop to look at an internet rumor and call it an internet rumor. Again, I don’t have to prove a negative. I was specifically talking about the one tweet with 400 Twitter followers who claimed stuff about the BOR. Hence why I quoted that in my response. That is not something that has been corroborated by the sources you listed. The best part was that you wanted to act pompous and obnoxious when a little bit of reading comprehension skills would've saved you the embarrassment.

Soooo who shall we hire that we can realistically get? I keep asking but you haven't answered once.

Wetsu doesn't have to "prove" a negative. Someone claimed that things went down a certain way without proof. It isn't on Wet to prove something didn't happen. It's on the person who claimed something happened. How many times does this have to be explained on this site?

Correct. Was the case when Jerrod Baugh was the OC too. Really, at any level, playcalling is kind of a collaborative effort. During the week, coaches sit down, review film, decide what plays would be good in what situations, and they make play sheets. The guy upstairs will tell downstairs what he's seeing and call the play down do the sideline. That said, I'd guess Coach King has ultimate veto power. So if Vallery calls a play, King could then say, "Nah, I don't like that, give me something else." But those acting like King's playcalling is THE culprit? Uh, no. Now, if you want to say he steers the game more conservatively too often? Well, he would be the first to agree with you. Said it against Tascosa in 18, Lancaster last year, and other times I'm sure.

Wihtout some stud players, A&M overcomes a 21 point deficit to beat a strong ISU team. Win will be huge come March.

Yeah yeah, it's twitter and all... But Dave Bartoo is a super smart guy. If you haven't, I do highly recommend checking out CFBMatrix. I know that some fans of other teams here won't be able to afford the $5-$15 a month, but it's super interesting stuff. https://www.patreon.com/cfbmatrix Though Elko's +6 is a super small sample size, so take THAT with a grain of salt. But I do really recommend following CFBMatrix. It gives a much different way of thinking about college football (and other sports as well).

A&M basketball was down 35-14 to Iowa State without our two best players and have clawed back to take the lead. Buzz is building a culture that plays hard there.

Sadly, Jimbo didn't really listen to much of what Kratik had to say. Elko did and will. I hope he hangs around. Funny enough, Childress and Seely in baseball didn't really use much of any of the data they gathered with TrackMan. Meanwhile, Schloss and especially Wiener are HUGE on it.

A lot of people don't know the name, but Kratik Malhotra. Big analytics guy... knows his stuff in machine learning, AI, you name it. Moved from FSU with Jimbo to A&M. When Elko left, he REALLY wanted Kratik to join him at Duke. I don't know if he will hang around when Elko comes back, but he's a brilliant mind.

I read more about Richard Day than Ryan Day.

Wow. Really went out on a limb didn’t you, there? At least you got his name right this time.

Fair, and that’s how it should be. But do you worry about the committee being stupid? Worried about Ohio State being above Texas? Or Oregon beating UW and both making it? I won’t even get started on Bama….

Might happen. FSU is clearly vulnerable without their QB.

Richard Day Richard Night Richard Afternoon Richard Evening In that order. Twitter said so.

Um, that is literally the job of Chris Vallery. Where did people get the idea that King calls plays?

Who do you think calls plays?

So what scenario are you guys hoping for? Do you see Ohio State falling below Texas in the rankings? If so, then a Bama or Louisville win (both likely) would mean Texas is back in, right?

I have it on good authority from Twitter that Richard Day will coach Duke's bowl game.

I’m hearing Elijah Robinson as DC.

They’re both basketball schools lol I liked Elko and his defense when he was here. As a head coach? I don’t know.

Bjork promised an “incentive based contract”. I guess we’ll see just how incentive based it is.

Oh lawd. That does raise the question of where Richard Day will land.

But wait. Some yahoos said it was stoops because they read it on Twitter. And someone else promised Richard Day.

I’m hearing Elko now though.

I mean it’s easy to say with hindsight that Bill Byrne missed on a hire… two and a half years in, Sumlin looked like an excellent hire. And until January of 2022, Kirby didn’t look like THE hire…
