Thank you, more succinct and tells me what’s on your mind.
Didn’t require chat gpt to write up a bunch of words that mean squat. Did it create a model for you to gamble your money away too? It sure hasn’t helped your football eye, I see you’re still pushing the notion that we’re “almost” undefeated. Great, and we’re also almost 4–5 against 8 below average teams.

If we had a decent line we could pay a less talented QB less than half as much and still be at least this mediocre.

Funny that the same guy saying people here need to act like adults said that to you literally just a few posts later.
That precious model is beyond reproach. Take his eyes, his ears, his heart.... but leave the model alone!

Actual footage of Froggy Style...
So if he is Don Quixote, does that make you the inanimate object that should just be ignored?

Wex is a harmless internet warrior. He takes a position and then argues it into the ground. Lots of people said we would likely lose three or four of our final games and Wex tried to troll them all of last week. Then disappeared when our coaches got their pants pulled down on Saturday. He’s trying to make it about GP vs Sonny or just TCU accepting mediocrity.
Truth is, they both are mirroring each other. End of career syndrome trying to get as many million dollar paychecks as possible without knowing how to adjust.

For 2.4 million you could probably have a very very good OL and use Seals. I personally think Barnes is a very good RB (when healthy), and with a better OL and run blocking capability we’d be much better off than paying one guy who is average that much dough.

I mostly agree about Wex, but he was not who I was referring to. The boy with the model is.

I like ya, but do you need to be so hostile?
also - the safe way to post that is "EBOD"

what the heck is this model y'all keep talking about?
and can we use it to predict the new OC?

the pub crawl at Purdue is a pretty good one.Hey hey now. Purdue is a basketball school
I think it might be Sonny Cumbie, the one the last coach kept around for about 7 years despite almost comical results at times. Get ready for the jump pass at the goal line!

I don’t think we’re very good and didn’t have much hope coming into the season but I ABSOLUTELY believe we would’ve had 2-4 more wins over this year and the last 2 through better coaching decisions.
I also think Sonny lost his arguably two best coaches after that first year when the two recruiting guru studs left for other schools.

I thought we’d have only 3 losses this year so they cannot lose another one lol. Wishful thinking.

An Cap was telling us a few weeks back how smart he was a football, and had created a model to predict scores. We should therefore trust him that our coaches were fine because the model has and continues to to predict 8-4 or better. He also thinks we're just a few plays away from undefeated...and chat gpt wrote up a nice synapsis of the future of NIL for him too (probably made a good little excel gambling model too).

See that now. Thanks.
I don't think he told you how smart he was, or that you should trust him, or that our coaches were fine because whatever, or that we were a few plays from being undefeated. But go on ahead misrepresenting what was said or taking it totally out of context, it's par for the course around here.

Just because I dabble in statistics doesn’t mean I’m some football expert. I’m simply sharing what the numbers say...take it or leave it. Yes, before the season started, my model projected the Frogs to finish 8–4, and that projection has been steady almost every week. Right now, the model still shows that 8 wins is the most likely outcome. That doesn’t guarantee we’ll get there.
On the coaching side: we lucked into the best coach this program has ever had. We didn’t have to convince GP to come to TCU...he was already here. SD stopped here and wanted a place with stronger support than SMU, so that hire was relatively straightforward. I’m not sure it will be that easy next time. We like to think we have major advantages...location, alumni network, recruiting base, etc....but do we really stack up better than other programs? I think we’re fooling ourselves if we assume our spot in the next realignment is secure just because we feel like we have inherent advantages. That mentality affects hiring, too...every coaching search operates in a competitive landscape.
Regarding my writing style, I’ve spent most of my career writing technical accounting memoranda. Primarily focusing on the adoption on new accounting pronouncements. I even had the pleasure of working for Barry Epstein, who was the lead author of 26 editions of Wiley GAAP. Maybe some of that experience rubbed off on me. That doesn’t make me the world’s greatest wordsmith, but it does mean I have a lot of experience. If you’d like more examples, feel free to peruse my posts in the Pit.

Yup there’s a bunch of us that drank the purple koolaid.
Even now my brain says there’s a chance 1 more win, but my heart says we can beat both UH & Cincy.
These hopium addictions are hard to break.
