  1. When it comes to basketball at the University of Texas placing his name alongside Rick Barnes is ridiculous. He didnt contribute shit to this university.
  2. Chris Beard coached at Texas a sum total of 42 games. As far as standards at Texas go, he didn't set shit.
  3. No OC under Reid has ever called plays. The fact that it was made a narrative about him and not any other Andy Reid OC (Nagy, Pederson, Mornhinweg, or Childress) over the years is telling. People should've just said he's an asshole and that was preventing him from getting traction, but going on and on about him not calling plays when no other Reid OC called played was ridiculous.
  4. So you're under the belief that he's the first assistant coach to be under contract when his head coach is fired? Every other fired head coach just happened to have all their assistants on the last year of their contracts?
  5. Why is the hiring of Kliff Kingsbury being reported as the firing of Eric Bienemy? Since when is a new head coach hiring a new OC reported as him firing the old OC who never worked for him? Seems like they're going out of their way to claim that Eric Bienemy was fired. Didn't all of the newly hired head coaches essentially fire the staffs of the previous head coaches?
  6. I dont know what the pros or cons would be with going to 4 quarters vs 2 halves. For tradition's sake I say keep it as is. Seems like a change just for change's sake.
  7. Hunter just lacks composure at times and his handle has always been sketchy. Sometimes he's just seems to be a slight beat off. Like he'll make a really good look, but the pass will be just off or come in too hot. He'll still have his games where he's really impactful we just have to do a better job of maintaining when he's off his game. The addition of Weaver as major contributor will help to weather those moments as we progress during the season.
  8. I'm actually higher on Mitchell than I was last year. He's displayed more skill over the past 2 games than he had over the previous year and half. He's been a bit more aggressive on the offensive end and he's started to knock down that 15 to 17 ft shot fairly consistently. When he makes quick decisions, without hesitation, especially off of that fake ball handoff action, he's going to have openings to go strong to the basket. If we can start utilizing his quickness off of that action, especially with how aggressively teams guard Abmas, his passing ability is going to open things up. He seems like the kind of player who is going to improve significantly once he becomes a pro and can completely dedicate himself to improving. Plus you can tell he's a coachable player. Compare his willingness to play within himself to someone like Greg Brown who basically had a similar skillset.
  9. They ran a double pick action to him multiple times throughout the game and he missed one wide open shot and decided not to shoot it 2 other times.
  10. Shedrick was actually pretty good to start the season. He had a 20+ point game early on, but the injuries have clearly taken a toll.
  11. I've always thought short, but long-armed DTs are a market inefficiency in the NFL, but Murphy is both short and has short arms. He'd truly be an anomaly if he became as dominant as Aaron Donald.
  12. It will be good to take another look 3 weeks from now at which teams fall within those constraints. Most teams have only played about 4 or 5 conference games.
  13. I think the gutting has to due with financial issues. According to the Buf Elliot and some of thr guys on the Saturday's Down Podcast the stuff coming out about how much of an NIL discount having Saban as their coach got Bama is shocking. And as a result their NIL budget is severely lacking now that they have to operate on equal terms with everyone else.
  14. As far as I'm concerned, that's pretty much modus operandi for any public school regardless of the quality of the district . When we started looking into the schools around the area I immediately started looking into GT testing and prepping my oldest (4 yrs old at the time) for it. I figured it would be easier to test into GT the earlier he did it and I was correct in my assumption. My son got in which wasn't surprising for him but that early exposure to testing (especially with the abstract nature of GT tests at younger ages) was definitely critical for my daughter who also qualified for GT when she was 4. I believe HISD recently changed their protocol for GT testing and don't allow for it in preK anymore, but I could be wrong.
  15. I just did a tour of Frank Black Middle school last November for my 5th grader and I must have gotten a complete snow job if what you say is true. The art teacher showed us some of the projects the kids were working on to present at the rodeo and they were extremely impressive. He even mentioned one of the kids in the previous year sold his art work for 10s of thousands of dollars there. Prior to this year I heard so many great things about Frank Black that it was a no brainer to send my kids there, but after all of the horror stories about uninterested teachers and fighting, I've decided to sit down and fill out the magnet application today. I guess Hogg, Lanier, and/or TH Rogers will move Frank Black down the list.
  16. Brock guards interior guys though. Weaver can't do that.
  17. Michigan will potentially have 20 guys drafted in the coming draft.
  18. I'm hopeful that Ewers will show more of what we saw against Oklahoma St in terms of his ability to get to his 2nd and 3rd reads more quickly. Also an understated fact about the switch from the Big 12 to the SEC is the hubris that comes with DCs in the SEC leads to fewer complicated defensive schemes and tactics. They're so confident in their personnel that they tend to play simpler schemes. Ewers will see a lot more man to man and simple coverages next year compared to what he's seen in the Big 12. Outside of maybe Arkansas and Vandy that 3 safety flyover defense is a thing of the past. SEC coaches have caught up with the rest of the college football on the offensive side of the ball, but theyre still old school NFL in terms of their mentality and willingness to innovate on the defensive side, of the field.
  19. we had a shitload of tipped balls on the RPO looks. I feel like there were at least 5 of them right off the bat. That really messed with his start.
  20. Honestly, our safeties weren't really that bad yesterday which was surprising. Washington didnt attack them like we assumed they would. They went after our corners with total abandon though.
  21. It would've taken huge balls but I almost thought we were going to go with a QB draw right there. The LBs dropped back and it was available for the taking.
  22. If we could only win one of the 2 mentioned, I'd rather beat Georgia than Michigan. Oh, how great it would be to go undefeated in the mighty SEC in our first season.
  23. Penix has the lowest sack% in college football despite being pressured at a relatively high level. Outside of deep ball accuracy, sack avoidance is his best asset.
