I mentioned it today, and more importantly Oldvol mentioned it today: Butch Factors. When evaluating this roster and its potential, you cannot forget about the many Butch Factors that sabotaged their play and accomplishments over the previous seasons. There is undoubtedly a TON of previously wasted potential on this roster. This is a 4-8 team that had no business being worse than 8-4, and that's not even a controversial statement. I could make stronger ones, but I think I'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that follows this team that thinks they couldn't have managed 8 wins last year based on what was on the roster. Below is a list of Butch Factors as I recall them, feel free to add some or correct any. In no particular order: 1) WR stances 2) the conditioning of linemen deteriorated from their Freshmen years on 3) run blocking "scheme" made no sense 4) no-option running 5) took several seconds to complete a handoff, often 6) Runs often began several yards from the line 7) Passing to the middle of the field was largely forbidden 8) Tight ends unutilized 9) Fullback position nonexistent 10) goal line play calling was often questionable 11) second half collapses were not uncommon, for lack of any adjustment from what was working in the first 12) No quarterback coach 13) An abundance of passes behind or at the LOS, leading to big hits for no benefit 14) Frequently divided/toxic locker rooms 15) Corny as [uck fay] 16) Clearly didn't know what he was talking about 17) Fell to his knees and sobbed after UGA miracle catch-- we were favored in that game, and it was just the season before last. 18) Is a human mood ring with two emotions: Panicking Purple and Burnt Sienna Sucky 19) Makes up new game terminology annually, presumably because of (16) I'm sure there are more. You really can't forget all these things when thinking about this current team. It wouldn't be shocking to find out we are actually closer to competitive than not. A winning season is quite possibly attainable, IMO, because they managed to win 4 games despite having 5 years of exposure to that fraud.
Wore lifts in his shoes and changed his voice to make himself sound more manly. Was a laughingstock in the coaching community. Was a liar. Can’t get a job as a high school assistant.
I hope they let him keep that [uck fay]ing trophy since it probably is covered with his semen after numerous "sessions" since that glorious day.

23. Declining penalties drove me crazy in '15. 2nd and 11 or 3rd and 1? Lets decline and fire up that Lil' John song.
