firegregsankey.com Gump: This dude got absolutely rolled by the new playoff format. Combined with the disastrous officiating and it’s been a bad year for him. The SEC could benefit from stronger and more thoughtful leadership.
"Damn if I'll be the cheeziest, coach" Gump: We're going to the Cheeze-it Bowl. frick that I'm not watching one more second of college football this year and anyone who does is just bending over for the system.
"Not gonna miss Dick Clark's Rockin Eve for a meaningless bowl game" Gump:
I thought missing the CFP would save us from a NYE bowl...apparently not
fricking hate playing on NYE.
Doesn't know the bowl game names anymore Gump: Don't know about Cheez-it, but I’ve seen us projected to the Citrus Bowl vs Illinois.
"Sounds like a spicy matchup" Gump: I’m a big fan of the jalapeño flavor.
firedeboer.com Gump: Will Coach DeBoer be fired if we miss the playoff next season ? I don’t care how much his buyout is, he screwed up badly by keeping #4 in the line up this year. If we miss again next season, he will have very little support from the fan base and probably the PTB who really call the shots.
"The coaches were naysayers" Gump: I think the Oklahoma game was impacted by the outbrust Milroe had during the LSU week prep. Many who witnessed that thought he should be benched or disciplined - he cursed Sheridan challenged Deboer - we did nothing. Culture is impacted by leadership and DeBoer caved in to a player. He did that much of the year - while Jalen's parents ran around with shirts that said Mil-Ticket on the front, fought in the stands and the whole LANK mentality thrived dozens of players watched. I believe it impacted work ethic, attention to detail and lead to overall complacency.
"The LANK Stank is all over the program and it's Saban's fault" Gump:
During practice on Wednesday of that week Milroe was sacked in scrimmage - Sherdian jumped on him for the sack and he began to scream and curse Sheridan in front of most of the team. DeBoer weighed and Milroe began hollering at him - things like - you cant talk to me that way - dont you know who I am? Just total disrespect for the coaches and authority.
We played him on Saturday and because of LSU's inability to stop a running qb we win. Winning cures alot - but the problem was never corrected and then attitudes follow.....and the saddest part is I believe this coaching staff is afraid to confront the LANK crew. They must run the program. They know Milroe is not the qb they need - worried the benching impacts so many other areas they just held their nose and went forward. as i sdaid - ahard place for DeBoer. Thank the GOAT for this mess.
"The ref saying Ryan Williams 21 point TD was not legit should be fired" Gump:
The overall state of the program doesn’t change based on this one call, but…
The call was 100% wrong, and it’s not a subjective call like DPI. End man LOS are either on or off, and it’s communicated between end man and official. Official called it correctly throwing the flag when he did IF Williams was covered. He wasn’t.
"I know someone who knows someone who knows the whole team is portaling out" Gump:
My brother knows a guy who usually has reliable information and says he expects 25-30 guys to hit the portal this week and that Milroe has been told he needs to move on either to the NFL or another team.
Again, I don’t know if this true or not. Might be, might not but I wouldn’t be at all surprised. I’m hoping all the guys with a crappy attitude hit the road.
I would rather play in the bowl game with true freshmen or RS freshmen and even walk ons who want to be here than play some guys who only want to half heartedly try. Not say all or even most but I bet there are at least a few who wouldn’t really try.
Assuming that many guys leave, CKD and staff need to be portal recruiting mo fos.
LJMK Gump: Thanks Jalen.
This 100% on you being a mental midget in Knoxville and Norman.
I will be so glad when we have a new QB next season.
LKDK Gump:
You are blaming the wrong people.
Blame the coaches for not having the team ready to play against Vanderbilt and Oklahoma. Blame the coaches for thinking it was a good idea for Milroe to throw 45 passes against Tennessee.
The sunshine pumpers can blame Milroe all they want too, but the coaches are 100% to blame. They were in over their heads and that is very concerning going forward.
"When I stop crying, I'm gonna chuckle my butt off" Gump:
All this campaigning on stage last night by Dabo, and in the booth by McElroy of all people. Everybody all excited because SMU came back and lost a close one to an average Clemson team!
Going to laugh my arse off when they both get destroyed in the 1st round and then everyone admits, yea they got it wrong and the ACC didn’t deserve two teams in.
But too late for Bama this season. Hopefully committee will clean shite up for the future I guess.
"You negative nancies are to blame. All those segments ESPN ran on the Bama Rant posts kept the OU game fresh" Gump:
the OU game was bad. Im glad you so called fans are continuing to harp on that weeks later and kept it in the national narrative which hurt us in the end.
Despite the bad loss, in the end you had 2 bubble teams and the committee had to make a decision. They chose not to put in the team with the better resume and that can actually beat playoff teams.
Im aware we lost ability to control our own destiny by being on bubble so no use repeating it over and over.
Committtee had a choice of bubble teams, and they chose wrong.
Boomer Sooner Gump:
Oklahoma is better than SMU.
They would be undefeated with their schedule. One loss maximum
Pony Express Gump: Frick the other conferences. SMU? Really? Their greatest accomplishment in the last 30 years is a 30 for 30 being made about them so people in my generation would realize they used to be good.
You didn't have a choice, Gump. Your OOC schedule was crap: why even play tough games?
Couldn't bear to watch Gump: Just heard by wife yell “frick” from downstairs.
Time to wash the sheets Gump:
All on the coaching staff and players, they shite the bed in Norman.
I don’t want to hear any of them crying about it now, they choked
