You initiated a rant based on nothing in the podcast.

Whatever.....but do jump in a fire though.

Next time I will only talk about the podcast and just ignore the words you write in your posts.

Silly me. I thought this was a message board or something.

If you have to blindly defend everything you say and downthumb everything I say in response, you won't last long.

Its a young but experienced team who returns lots of players for this year but also next year.

Does not compute.

Make sure to lather before you rinse.

Its possible to be young and experienced at the same time. Think Sankey, Shelton, Kasen, Timu, etc. These guys have experience but still have half their career left. Shaq could be considered experienced by the second half of this year (would be starting close to his 20th game). Whereas a guy who hasn't played until his 3rd or 4th year would be not experienced. Its actually a good position to be in and why we should expect to be a lot better this season and next season. Glad I could clear that up for you.

There is a difference between having young talent and being a young team overall.

You seem to be forgetting the part where we only lost a handful of players that were worth two shits from last years team. I count 13 Seniors and 24 Juniors on this years' roster. Go ahead and compare that to some of the other successful teams in the conference last year, if you want. The difference is coaching.

I respect the fact that you took the time to make a podcast and contribute content, but you should really consider some constructive criticism if you are to be successful with your future endeavors.

Also, the guy who won the Heisman last year was a Freshman. I don't really buy into the youth excuses.

If you want to offer constructive criticism, next time listen before commenting on it. I never mentioned anything about a young team (IIRC). Better yet, just go dive head first into a bonfire.

I actually did listen to the whole thing.

You mentioned youth in your post. Did you not? That's why I was quoting it with the quotes and stuff.

Not trying to be a dick here. Just trying to give you a bit of perspective on the argument you made in your post.

The fire thing was creative, though. Props.

I appreciate the listen. I think it is fair to say we are experienced, but other than Parker, Price, and probably ASJ, the rest of the team will be back next year. I think that qualifies as a young team, seeing as we are only losing 3 good players. As long as one of the 4* QB's is good, we should have a very strong team in 2014.

If we had a better coach, I would even say we should compete with Oregon for a Pac 12 title in 2014 because Stanford loses a lot of studs off their defense after this year. With Sark, I think we will be pretty good, but not as good as we should be. That's the problem with average coaches.

I agree whole heartedly about the problem being coaching. If it were up to me, Sark would already be gone after last year, but I do think if we won 9, there would be reason for some optimism for the future.
