Dennis_DeYoung

We lost to fucking Oregon. We'll always lose to Oregon. We suck. Our program sucks. We are losers. Fuck everything. @MrsPetersen weighs in... podcast.

Shoutouts to @MisterEm's Mrs., literally everyone here and our new friend, Austin Sylvester.

If you were looking for a shoutout @SpoonieLuv you're in the wrong place. We are silently sending you AIDS.

My take away is that Mrs Pete is voice of the goth kid chick on South Park.

I seriously thought it was @BuffyMiller at first.

Is @MrsPetersen using a robot voice disguiser?

Oh snap, great closing song

I'm so disappointed to find out that mrs Petersen is actually a woman. When did we start letting folks who aren't old white men in here?

This was a GOOD pod.

I really liked two points of emphasis
1) recruiting is not about the player outcomes but about evaluating your targets and getting your targets. It isn't about being better at refining trash
2) the coaches have struggled at times to put players in positions they can succeed. Asking them to execute something unrealistic is bad coaching, not poor execution.

You guys should rename the Pod The Agony and The Ecstasy Podcast since every episode is a combo of depression and mania. Plus Michelangelo and Dennis have the same tastes if you will.

The whole 'asking a player (in this case kicker) to do something they can't do' thing is so fucking on point.

"He has to make that."

Well he fucking never does, why ask him to?

Pete put kicker in a position to fail. Biggest reason we lost. Truth.

I though the comment about what Sark would do with the current roster spot on. This is a 4-5 or 5-4 in conference team under Sark.

Also, I know we need to get good athletes at every position group, but not all groups are created equal. OL, DL and QB recruiting Uber Alles!!!! Some kind of German you were Herr Stausser.

I have hope though with Scottalica and Malloe fucking skrong know that, at least, Pete understands what needs to happen. Fucking eh, however, his process takes a long time. If Sark could get some decent front 7 guys that got us 2016's season, why couldn't we get the dudes we needed from 2015- 17?

This is, in essence, why the MEAN rating of a class is so important.

Because any one player might be better or worse than their rating, but because ratings are so positively correlated with on-field performance, you are always going to be tethered to that mean. You might get a bit of a coaching effect overall... but you are going tied to that mean rating.

So, the guys like Gaines, Dissly, Pettis, Sid that punched above their weight are offset by the fact that some higher guys didn’t pan out (Hale, KJ) and lower guys were true to their ratings (Sosebee).

So at first it appeared Pete was a genius getting guys like Sid and Dante and Greg. But in the end you see the saddest story in the history of life which is good ole regression to the mean.
