    in order to win 6-7 games against an ever softening schedule, that is.
  • What offseason did we whiff on OL recruits did he pull out that gem of a quote?

    Come on guys, we need guys who can move so they can get to the edge against Idaho State, Georgia State, and Eastern Washington! Who cares if we go 4-5 or 5-4 in conference next year if we go 4-0 OOC and win 8 or 9 regular season games! SSWS and Woodtarded are dying to pull the wool over the eyes of their Doogs even more.

    Ugh.

    He said it during fall camp this year after a poster said our OL looked weak.

    Still look weak.

    The OP knew what he was looking after a decade plus of mediocre line play. Kimmy needs to put down the merlot that drinks like a cab.

    What does the green stripe mean?

    I get the pink one for read only timeouts so I can gain better perspective and such.

    Our guys still look weak. Every year when we sign a flabby or undersized OL, doogs say, "Wait until this guy spends a couple years with Ivan. By his redshirt junior season, he will be a monster!"

    dnc's "1 Mississippi pass protection" quote comes to mind here.

    Another Kim quote after a poster said he was a trainer and got to see the players working out. He was appalled at how weak our OL was and said maybe one of them could bench 400 pounds.

    "Bench press is not important."

    Yeah, we got into it over that one.

    He said offensive linemen didn't need to be able to bench press. Upper body strength means nothing as an offensive lineman.

    Obviously.
  • I remember Sark's first year hearing about IVAN! and how he'll improve our OL's bodies vs the Ty years.

    Well in year five I can't really fucking tell the difference between these OL's and Ty's OL's. In fact I'd say Ty's OL's were slightly better.

    Isaiah Thomas can bench 375. Then again, he probably works his ass off in the weight room or something.

    He does. I used to see him working out all the time. Kim would say it is because he has short arms.

    "Can't expect 6'5" linemen to be able to bench that much. It doesn't help that our D has been recruiting longer athletes. Some of our receivers and tight ends are tall, as well.

    Taller guys have to work a lot harder to get the bar up. The long arms have to extend further. Most of our guys are tall."

    It would be really ironic if Kim actually did say that. Since he has short arms and all...
