Say Who Hypothetical

Kalepo and Buelow were gone man. It's all speculative as to why but they weren't coming back. The Parker twins was their main find at DL and they were supposed to be the guys anchoring the defense. You'd have to argue that they could've gotten one of the medically retired guys to stick it out one more year which didn't seem likely.
Again, the December transfer portal is done. He'd have to somehow hustle and flip guys just because he made a title run, which I don't see that happening in practice. Isn't Notre Dame actually losing starters to fucking Indiana?
I'm not saying DeBoer isn't an elite coach but like it or not you have to stack talent and he hadn't been doing that and was in for a season that was assuredly going to be worse than 2022. Cuevas and Bernard weren't getting us to 10 wins, I'm sorry but I don't see it in any situation and yes that is partly on DeBoer and the fact that his only connections as a head coach were Fresno area high schools and players.
I'm LIPO on Jedd but the 2 things we really need right now (stacking talent and a star quarterback) appear to be happening so I don't care about an expansion season where we flipped a coin in a shitty bowl to go 6-7 instead of 7-6. Like half of Petersen's years were this shitty and he didn't have any decent wins in those years besides #25 USC on the road.

Be not like the pebble, but the leaf. CFB is conspiring against us to ruin the sport. All we can do is go along with it.
On the flipside @YellowSnow I saw Pantera the other night, and I have to say they did a great job (it is not clear to me if you hate them or not…). I was transported back to college. I guess if your guitar player gets shot 20 years ago the setlist can't have any new album tracks to promote. It was good.

I saw Pantera open up for OG Black Sabbath at Key Arena in 1997. Wasn't a fan.

@ukdawg has it figured out regarding Uni sports. There's basically only one- i.e., row boat. I've been to the Oxford vs Cambridge boat race and it was spectacular.
If you wanna be a professional soccer ball player, you sign a contract out of High School (or whatever the limeys call it) and go pro. You don't have the opportunity to play professionally for Cambridge.
This is the way. Fuck the kids and blow up college sports.

Long opinion short I don't think DeBoer was ever staying long unless it was a situation where he wasn't winning enough to even take a slightly above lateral SEC job. I think they're slightly better in 2024 if he stays, but maybe not at all. Also remember he wasn't bringing in a playmaker at RB and I agree that I think glue guys like Kalepo, Hatchett, possibly Buelow, Muhammad, and Powell were still leaving. The portal guys he brought in were exceptionally underwhelming and most of his recruits have been phantoms (Bernard and Brailsford annoyingly were Jimmy guys).
Long term I would have kept DeBoer but given I don't think that was a reality I think it was better he left after 2023 than 2024.

Dude, is our high school recruiting not sick? Is the defense not totally stacked for next season? How sick do we need to be to be SICK for 2024? Do we still need to go blow a pro sports own to be totally sick?

My gf and I have a deal. For every minute she makes me have to hear the dud that is some show called Abbott Elementary I make her listen to Pantera. My gf is unaware of this agreement.

Good to see it's time for internet access hours at the Woodburn Juvenile Hall.

As opposed to offseason hot talk about what? Jerking off to Lannings Bond villain facial hair?

Coming up on the next pod!

@A2theyeFuckoDaWg "First, last week I was told we? don’t deal in hypotheticals here."
This is an old joke that originated from the Sark days, it was one of his favorite go-tos for his kick-ass pressers.
Also, should PM @IrishDawg22, he's got this place dialed in. -
It's fantasizing about your hot cousin instead of going out and getting laid.
On second thought, carry on.

Where does this “I think the glue guys were still leaving” mythos come from? If there’s one thing DeBoer proved at UW, it was his ability to convince key people—both players and coaches—to stay.
DeBoer’s 2024 ceiling at UW would have ultimately been limited by Will Rogers. We probably would have seen Austin Mack down the stretch, and nobody knows how that would have turned out.But there is no way DeBoer loses to Cuog or Rutgers in 2024. He’d have destroyed those teams. I suspect he’d probably have split the Iowa and Indiana games too.
Would DeBoer be gone by now either way? Maybe. For all we know, he may have taken the Michigan job if not offered the Bammer job. If Cam Davis doesn’t rupture his ACL in August 2023, UW may have been National Champs. -
From my memory I think people on here or maybe at least Twitter had suggested Kalepo wasn't coming back in 2024. It seemed odd, but I think people assumed he was going to go to the NFL. Same with Muhammad. You're right that it's all complete speculation though. You also throw in the question of what would Grubb and Huff have done. Maybe he could have kept those guys though.
I agree DeBoer wins those games. That's about all I got though.
