Truly unbelievable how overreactive some of you are

UCLA would be 7-2 if they played our schedule. They started the season with 3 top ten teams and the other losses were to bowl teams. That part doesn't actually bother me that much.
I'm also realistic about how bare the cupboard was in terms of athletes in the upper classes. We are relying on freshmen and sophomores all over the roster. The games we lost were to senior QBs with all kinds of game experience. Rhule has to use young guys because we don't have anyone else. And honestly it's time to bench more of those underperforming upperclassmen like Gifford.
What does bother me a lot is the lack of improvement on offense and not just firing Satterfield. We've seen what he is and it's not good enough. I do feel encouraged with bringing Holgerson in but I want the staff to start being more demanding. If you don't deliver as a coach or player you need to go.

Yes, I'll admit that dismissing UCLA as a crappy 2-5 team is probably stupid on my part. Still, being completely unready to compete on either side of the ball and looking 100% outclassed for most of the game is good cause for being "overreactive" as the OP put it. Are we really relying on that many more young guys than other programs? Looking at the depth chart I'm not really sure about that. We're definitely young at a couple critical spots (QB & LT). Defense looks like a bunch of JR & SR guys with youth sprinkled.

That was before my time (I was born in '85), and this may sound like a stupid question, but with CD rates like that, why didn't people just rent and throw their extra money into a CD?

I know the CD $ would've been tied up, but still, getting 11% while NOT paying 13%-19% on a home seems like a good move.

I'm not sure what home interest rates were like in the 60s and 70s so maybe 13%-19% still wasn't a bad deal at the time?

Buying a home at a 19% rate was a horrible deal but there weren’t any livable homes available to rent in the town we were moving to.

While not sexy - if I could get a 10 year CD at that rate I would dump a huge chunk of my savings into that action.

Are you confident in our banking system today? We are a debtor nation and the national debt has soared by trillions of dollars over the past 3 years. There’s a reason that large institutional investors have abandoned bank stocks. Were in scary times with the ridiculous spending we’ve done.

Darnold was awful before he went to Carolina and he actually was playing a little better for Rhule. Every QB seems to flourish in Shanahan’s and O’Connell’s systems.

Darnold's best year statistically was 2019 with the Jets. His worst year for TDs/INTs was with Rhule in 2021.

Yes because they know how to develop QB's, which is exactly the point I'm making.
