    Thank fucking god. This thread and pod might temporarily save the dreckfest that our once-beloved main bored has become.

    If you can't appreciate the offseason greatness that is the main bored, you really belong over on Doogpound.
    This is my first offseason here but it seems to consist largely of you floating from thread to thread, adhering to some weird code that only you seem to follow, and you use the WTF and Flag buttons like a Chinaman uses his honking horn.
    The gleeful triggering these poasts bring Sven is all part of the fun.

    FREE PUB! The tonal shift from an in-TSIO universe perspective is fascinating. A few pods ago was the 2016 recruiting wrist slit pod, and this one was by far by far by far the most optimistic listen you've ever released. Not sure if by design or not, but I approve.

    Question: do you put more stock into the star ratings of recroots or who else has offered them? I think of a guy like Joe Tryon who was a 4 star with offers from only WSU/UW, but a 3 star like Draco Bynum who has offers from the entire conference.

    I put more stock into rare humans, both of which they are (Joe Tryon more so).

    @Gladstone

    Personally, I judge based on film ... not sure if we touched on it in enough drunk detail but not all offers are the same as an offer from UW is likely different than one from Oregon ... add to that guys that shut down a process early and the numbers get fuzzy

    As for stars, I guess it is nice as a reference point but they have some inherent issues and bias whether it is coverage area, what camps they sponsor, etc

    I'll call out our call on Taylor Rapp where we were universally in agreement that he would be an impact player as a freshman ... that's through an understanding of film, roster depth, and how the player fits in the defense

    I like the Lenius Taylor Swift comment. White people are so stupid.

    Listening to these podcasts makes me wonder what the fuck is wrong with me - I actually rewind parts:

    "Black people know what's up - white people are 'I want to go to the mall, I like Taylor Swift...' "

    And knowing the players have a salad bar, appetizer and choice of 3 or 4 entrees is just priceless info

    I'm such a fuckwad loser

    As long as you aren't busking shitty Taylor Swift covers on the Gibson knock off @tenndawg , you're not a fuckwad loser in our book.

    The stats part is killing me. Should not have been as hard as it was.

    @Gladstone - Honestly, I put the most stock in rare humans, but I care about both.

    Bishop Sankey is a guy who is not particularly rare, but was a 4-star and lived up to every bit of that.

    Given that stars primarily reflect offers, I think they are, to some extent, a Nate Silver-esque variable where you are getting a lot of wisdom boiled down into that rating. That's why they're so predictive even though fucking Greg Biggins is involved (to be fair to Greg he's one of the better guys).

    I don't like all 4 and 5 star guys more than the lower rated players, of course, but I think if you are going into the 3-star cesspool, you better come back with something rare (Ali Gaye, Joe Tryon) rather than something try-hard.

    Of course there are always exceptions, but the rules are pretty clear: get higher rated, more rare guys.

    I love you guys and I love margaritas - especially with horny-itos hundred percento de agave tequil(l)a - but please for the love of Pete, don't call them Margs.

    THAT'S WHAT MY FRIEND SARA RICE CALLED THEM IN DALLAS YOU FUCKER.

    I LEARNED IT FROM HER.

    Kentrell Love at FS answers a lot of questions for me. I knew Gilchrist was someone who could supply Safety Depth, but didn't know about Love. I was curious how this DB class would shape up if 2 or 3 safeties were leaving and only Gilchrist from the last class was going to end up there (even though I know he's getting some time outside as well). Obviously we'll take both Gordon and Tre'Shaun because of their talent level, but do you think they'd be okay with only 2 in Irvin and Tre'Shaun if Gordon looks elsewhere (same could be say for Tre'Shaun too).

    Recognizing my opinion doesn't matter at all, I wanted to share that I seriously love these fuckin podcasts. You guys have great chemistry and share more husky football knowledge/insight than you can find anywhere else. Love that shit. By far the best podcast I've ever listened to (i.e. You're better than "Serial" and "Manager Tool Basics")

    You're right in that your opinion doesn't matter at all. Though that didn't stop me from reading this to my parents to get their approval. They didn't GAF.

    So, your opinion doesn't seem to matter to them either, for the record.
    What Dennis didn't say was thank you for listening and taking the time to give your opinion ...

    I called in to talk DAWGS but the modem disconnected. Is the Friday Harbour number still good? Does it connect to iTunes ?
