Man, I’m glad you posted this. I remember watching Ochs throw up close in warmups from the student section. It just came off his hand differently. IDK anything about QB throwing motions, but his had a different integrity/snap.

Absolutely. Similar to watching PGA guys on the practice range. The sound at contact is just different.
We were way closer at UM than I realized.

Still sticking to the thought that Bobby doesn't want to win I see.

Soldier, as I have said, a nephew played safety for Air Force several years ago. His football career ended late in his senior year with an injury at Army. Many of the family had taken a ferry from lower Manhattan to the game. Another nephew graduated from Army 2.5 years ago. I went to his graduation. He’s from Bozeman. He was a manager for the football team his last few years. Loved it. Is deployed in South Korea now. Is engaged to a classmate. She was captain of the cheer squad. And also deployed to a different base in South Korea now. Her dad was a Ranger and career guy.
We probably knew each other…
Dude, isn’t that the truth! I dabbled at being relatively good once upon a time, but I caddied for a guy who was actually good. I swear I never saw him miss a shot on the range; he swore he never hit one solid. Just sounded different, as you said.
Just a quick aside before we get back to regularly scheduled programming: I was at Riviera two years back and followed Morikawa for a few holes. He had a wedge into a par four on the back 9 right on the ropes where I was standing about four feet away. I swear to God when he hit it I felt it in my feet. Sorry for the long post; it struck a nerve.

Wild if so. What a small world. 1122 seems to have been in the same era. I would have been a couple of years younger, but I'm sure you both probably owe me a beer for some reason.We probably knew each other…
I think we're pretty close, honestly. I wasn't a student yet when Ochs was QB.
I was a senior when he led us to the 2004 NC game, so you two youngsters can just get the F off my lawn.
Awesome! Loved my time in Korea as a young Soldier. Will the wedding be at West Point?

I absolutely agree with you. Their decision-making and the speed of their release were something to watch. Miller getting hurt cost us a National Title in 2000.
Youngsters. Lol.I was a senior when he led us to the 2004 NC game, so you two youngsters can just get the F off my lawn.
I was a senior when Larry Donovan was driving the program into the ground.
Really curious with this trend, what sort of expectation is conveyed to them, i.e experienced QB transfers? "You will compete to play or "You will likely start and lead"? What do the portal QB's convey to the schools, "I will play get substantial playing, (or I will leave)? "I will be completely fine with backup, or even bench"? Looks like this will be Jensen's 4th stop: BYU->Contra Costa->USC->UM, a true blue portal player!!
My senior year was the first of Read so I feel your pain young man

The fact that we signed a quarterback who cannot run after watching what Cliff did last year and these semifinal games shows the incompetence of this coaching staff.

How do you know he can't run?
