In hindsight, I think MGMT was super underrated. Like they weren't just a good band at the time. They were one of the top ones.

I wonder if he'll blame Habba and fire her.

That would explain why one of our assistant coaches was yelling something about cheating.

I remember reading a theory that he won't pick a woman because he's ultimately too sexist. I thought it was a good point.

He's trying to talk Tang into coaching at West Virginia.

To be honest, I never really understood how the Jesus dying for us thing made sense either.

What is even the point of focusing on his freshman year?

I think recognizing that he was good at one point in time clears up some of the "nobody could have seen it coming/Howard came out of nowhere" stuff people say.

How many true freshmen could have done better in his place that season? I say very, very few. He was good as a true freshman.
He wasn’t just “not good, even for a freshman.”  He was almost unbelievably bad.  Like it was difficult to believe any human could be so bad at being a quarterback.

That response is not a long list of people who would have been better, is it?
Like, in the history of the game of football?  A lot?

I get hardly any true freshman are asked to play meaningful snaps at QB (though a lot more are doing it a lot more).  But in 2020 alone, Michael Pratt, Jeff Sims (then at GT), Max Johnson (then at LSU), DJU, Harrison Bailey of Tennessee, Ken Seals of Vandy.  Avery was "good" this year.  Howard was not in 2020.

Even for a true freshman, he was not "good."

I agree that he doesn't compare with the top 1% of true freshman. Here's what I mean. Imagine you take every true freshman from every team in the country and have them play as much as Howard did as a true freshman. Where does Howard rank on that list?

What’s wild is I think he was worse the following year.

I think the remarkable thing about Will is he seemed to show very little improvement until he just went gangbusters in 2022.

I think these criticisms are much more fair and reasonable than saying he wasn't good for a true freshman.

My solitary Will Howard take is that if you measured him on a true freshman curve, he was actually very good as a true freshman.

Where I shop, the lines are way shorter at self checkout. I feel like I can self checkout with 50 items faster than a lot of people (who are slow af) can with 10. This is how I rationalize breaking the item limit rules.

I'm generally for bringing in someone outside the program that might have some fresh ideas.

Might make your team more difficult for opponents to prepare for.

Yay! No SEC champ this year!

Man, if the Chiefs really won't let them use Arrowhead, that's some bullshit.
