Then get a new mic, Tequila, and don't be a cheap ass!Tequilla said:
Actually it was me shuffling paper and because I have a mic that picks up all noises that's what you're getting.Dennis_DeYoung said:
Teq's earphones. Apologies.DeepSeaZ said:DDY, you keep building games up and then you drop me back down to earth, hard. The fuck? And did someone make popcorn during the podcast? What was that popping sound?
That's a real annoyance to an otherwise decent listening experience.
I was a tad worried going into the podcast with how sensitive the sound pickup was from the mic knowing that I had my notes on 367 legal pads. I tried to do my page turning away ...
Needless to say lesson was learned and I'll be prepping slightly different for podcasts going forward. -
how many season ending injuries do we get on Friday?

What has stopped Petersen from firing Smith to this point? Nothing. So I don't see how we can assume Smith will be gone at season's end.TurdBuffer said:Totally, totally obvious that Smiff sucks and literally designs and calls plays that go away from our talent and skill, instead of embracing and working with what we have. This is THE SOURCE of the offensive sputtering and misfiring we describe as a shit-show.
Yes, Peterman is to blame for not firing his ass, but the silver lining is that Smiff should be gone after this season, regardless of our record. The four games I've seen have not demonstrated a competent, talented Pac12 offense, despite plenty of talent and a highly-recruited QB.
It's extremely telling that the majority of this pod is the discussion about how to win the Stanford game, DESPITE the offense. -
I tend to agree, but to be fair, he did give him a one-year contract renewal, so it's not like there's been zero movement.DerekJohnson said:

I'm not saying it's the move I wanted. But I don't think it's preposterous to think that Babushka gets canned given that fact.
I'd heard last year he was real close to the chopping block. -
It's not preposterous, especially with the Tedford thing. I'm just saying we can't assume he'll be gone.Dennis_DeYoung said:

If Pete knew it was a problem and didn't at least reassign Smith (if his sense of loyalty prevented him from firing him), then that's a failure of leadership.

Smith is also a young coordinator that was provided an experienced mentor to help him through the year and see what kind of growth could be made ...DerekJohnson said:If Pete knew it was a problem and didn't at least reassign Smith (if his sense of loyalty prevented him from firing him), then that's a failure of leadership.
While you want to cite failure of leadership because of not immediately firing Smith after last year, there's another side where by firing it's not just Pete admitting that he got the hire wrong but that he also failed to develop him as a coach (bigger issue IMO preventing him from firing him) ...
If the offense shits itself and the team doesn't reach its goals you can be assured that Smith is the designated fall guy -
