Holy fuck

Could care less if the players are praising him, but I'd feel better if the players were saying "we are improving but we still have lots of room for improvement" followed by things like pointing out they still are penalized too much instead of contradicting simple facts. Never here teams like Alabama say everything is grand until after they've won their last game...

If only Shamburger could learn to tackle, but alas he's a senior and his window of opportunity has virtually ran out.

You either have not watched the games or your eyes no longer work. He's played really well. I'm sure he has missed an occasional tackle, but I can't recall any notable ones that hurt us.

This thread needed to be bumped.

This is from early October when 2013 was still special. If anything, this should highlight that Sark has let his players down too. Poor ol' Shamburger honestly thought that the team was finally more disciplined.

What he got was a coach who doesn't think penalties are a big deal, and a team that averages 8.1 penalties per game (121st in the country), and they cost an average of 73.7 yards per game (120th in the country).

I'd be interested in hearing his thoughts updated. I wonder if he thinks it's bad luck, or finally realizes that Sark is a fraud.

“From my freshman year to now, we weren’t a very disciplined team. We weren’t taking the coaching like we needed to be taking the coaching,” Shamburger told his teammates Monday in the team meeting room of the new football operations building beneath the west end of Husky Stadium. “But now, year by year by year, everyone is taking in what Coach Sark is saying, what the position coaches are saying. Everyone is now accountable. Everyone is on one page, as a collective group.
