Not sure if you need a sub to read this, but I found this article about Luke.... interesting, to say the least.

When did this "turnaround" happen?

[DudyDawg]

I guess when he went from 3-5 to 1-7?

Well, they did improve their OOC record.**

Haha, silver lining!! I have loved my Athletic subscription, and would pay 10x the cost for the generally great coverage, but this article was an odd one.

Antonio Marales is the author, makes total sense.

As resident Bammer, I've reviewed the Data (seen below in Exhibit A) and I'm gonna allow it.

Exhibit A:
2017: 3-66

But when you factor in home vs road and the point swing was equal, I call it push with no improvment.

It's the "Bama Bump"....

[Dawgbite]

DON'T LINK SHIT THATS BEHIND A PAYWALL AND REQUIRES A SUBSCRIPTION. Shesh.........

I read the first part of the article till it said "Try your free trial to read the full story". So I just got a short trailer of the story. Since I'm not interested in a free trial, then the rest of the story remains a mystery. So I knew as much prior to reading the teaser than I do now. :rolleyes:

So is Luke leading them “out of the wilderness and back to relevance “

It's the "Bama Bump"....

I thought that was what happened about five months after the beer flowed too freely at the family reunion.

Rep given

[Maroons]

So what does the article say

The article mainly talks about the two coordinator hires and pumps spin about their past accomplishments.

Luke also says they have positive momentum coming out of Signing Day, a renewed spirit, and a commitment to winning.

No comments about the (lack of) talent on the roster though.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to starkvegasdawg again.
