Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

A real laffer from the CEO today

The CEO gave a state of the website address today. It began with a diatribe about how traditional radio is dying and podcasts are where it's at (translation: we are running 3rd to fishing and horse racing on the Saturday morning slot). Also, more LPT videos of him trying to hold still while being interviewed by recently graduated communications majors.

And some shit about Fetters trying to lose weight.

Then this gem caught my eye.

"AAndy………He’s been sick for a while. I’ve never felt it was my place to tell people about what’s going on. If he wanted the info out, fine. I just didn’t feel it was my place. "

I can only assume this follows up with a "Go Aaaaandy" chant lead by Sark

    I also saw that recently Butler Cabin had a post on the recruiting board along the lines of what he was hearing ... can only imagine the gold there.

    And regarding AAndy ... hopefully he gets feeling better. But the comments from KJV, wow, just wow.

    The Butler Cabin post was just about the recent center commit, Harris, who everybody was freaking out about.

    By saying that he heard about the commit 24 hours after it happened?

    First, thanks for the FREE PUB

    Second, the "golden goose" of the online community being KJV's biggest mistake is spot on. I had mentioned that to him years ago because that was the competitive advantage that nobody could replicate. Of course, in all his business sense as a CEO, he pissed a competitive advantage that any smart business owner would know was an asset that you couldn't pay enough for and piss it all away.

    Finally, with regard to Browning, I didn't stay through the entire Spring Fling and really only stayed long enough to see the warm-ups. The first thing that stood out to me in watching the QBs was that the way Browning carried himself screamed of him having the "IT" that you look for out of the QB position and it was as apparent that he had that swagger about him as it was that the other two didn't have that swagger. It looked effortless for Browning in making the throws and just watching out other players, etc. interacted with him it looked to my highly untrained and distant eye that he was the one that most of the guys were assuming would be the long-term answer at QB. He will have his challenges as he adjusts to the speed of the game, etc. But similar to how everybody is all hyping up Goff this year, the benefits of getting Browning into the game this year will be the payoff that we will have over the 2016, 2017, and maybe even 2018 seasons.

    Did nobody actually watch Goff's freshman year? How did he become the poster child for the play-em-early doogs?

    Fetters losing weight should be easy. Lower the calories to 4000 8100 a day and he should be able to lose weight.

    ...and the over/under is 500.

    It's not that Goff was great his true frosh year. But he was at least on par compared to the other options that Cal had available and while a young QB will experience growing pains and make a few turnovers that they shouldn't, there is no substitute for taking live reps and learning on the fly IF the player is capable of growing from the experience versus getting buried from the mistakes.

    He threw for 3500, had a 18-10 td-int ratio and completed 60%.

    He took that experience and his numbers bumped to 4k, 35-7, and 62% as a sophomore.

    He is the poster child, you're out of your depth here.

    Teq, I originally dismissed your analysis bc of Browning's performance in the spring game. He may have been playing with the 2s and 3s against the #1 offense though. But you may be onto something.

    Goff made a huge leap from year 1 to 2. His QBR went from 50 to 75. Even Sefo's went from 54 to 60. Miles' was a fucking 49! Fuck, if we had Sefo last year and a 60 QBR we might be 11-3. Price's was a 66 in 2013.

    Playing Browning this year will potentially give us a huge benefit in 2016. And look at the schedule…after Boise there are three reasonable games to get him some experience… Sac St, Utah St, Cal.

    Glad the numbers back it up Chest ...

    I'd like to say that I did some major research to come to that conclusion but I didn't ...

    The eye test led us all to know that Miles was a fucking disaster. The numbers you are showing backs that up big time. Sefo was much improved last year but he also probably was one of the worst 3-4 QBs in the conference last year. And when you think about it in those terms, that really paints how fucking terrible Miles was.

    Throwing Browning in against Boise could be a bit of a challenge ... but it also provides the opportunity for Lindy to prove whether he has it or not. Win (or at minimum be competitive) against Boise and he lays claim to the job for a bit. Lose badly and you give a soft landing for Browning against Sac St leading into the conference season.

    My thoughts exactly. Lindy gets Boise to prove he belongs. If he chokes there, take off that shirt Browning.

    Cal went 1-11 in 2013. You throw a lot when you're getting your ass kicked every game.

    Everyone agrees Goff made a quantum leap between his freshman and sophomore seasons. What's missing is the evidence that he wouldn't have been just as good coming off a redshirt season. Lots of QBs flourish as redshirt freshmen; Manziel, Mariota and Winston come to mind. There must be some reason why most QBs get redshirted.
