What the fuck. The roster is so depleted for these bowls it turns into a highly-competitive audition for many of the kids who didn’t get playing time all year. Just because someone like Clark enhances his perceived market-value doesn’t mean it’s a failed exercise.
Don’t do this. Sark and co are consistently getting beaten by new coaching staffs. Yes, there’s some familiarity in location for these kids, but we can’t consistently come up empty.
People absorb shit at different rates and there’s a lot to be said about having to build confidence on your own. It doesn’t matter how great his grandfather or 1 1/2 of his uncles were, he doesn’t get to just inherit their success. Arch has to go out and prove it to himself; as soon as that happens, the knowledge will meet the intangibles and he will become what everyone expects.
4th quarter last night he was forced to sling it and stop overanalyzing, best football he’s played.
Yall some bitches. Back-to-back quarterfinals and everyone’s throwing a hissy-fucking-fit about a young team having to learn how to compete on the road in tough environments.
That market will become saturated with buyers too. All of these theories on roster building will oscillate until there’s some normalization in the finances schools are willing to spend. Right now it rewards early adopters and high spenders, but im curious to see which smaller market teams can consistently contend by finding balance with developing and maintaining roster continuity.
