  1. I just spent 45 minutes watching 2011 and 2012 Shippensburg football videos on youtube, to make sure I could see "pure, uncut Yurcich" untainted by Gundy or Day/Wilson. My observations are: (1) The way oSu ran zone read appears to be Yurcich's scheme: Here's oSu running it a few years ago: And here's Shippensburg: It's obviously a different screen (bubble vs. a comeback screen). But it's a similar concept in both instances, and it's run from trips in both instances. (2) Yurcich runs (or at least ran) Power Read I've always wondered why we didn't run more power read with Ehlinger, as it seems like a great fit for his skill set. As far as I can recall, we haven't seen much of it since Sam and Toneil Carter showed great promise with it against KSU in 2017. There will be no question that Yurcich at least has power read in his playbook: (3) He likes QB runs in the red zone/short yardage situations It was always the case at oSu that when they needed tough yardage on 4th down or in the red zone, they would usually run the ball with the QB (usually subbing in JW Walsh for Mason Rudolph). It was already the case back in 2011/2012 that Yurcich liked running the QB in those situations. Here is QB power on 3rd and 1 in the red zone: (4) He likes to run complimentary pass concepts I didn't gif all of these because #lazy. But in the Shippensburg v. Shepherd game from 2012, Yurcich called some combination of post/wheel routes like 5 or 6 different times. The first time, he ran from a 4 wr (2x2) set. Both outside receivers ran posts, and both inside receivers ran wheel routes. The QB hit one of the wheel routes for a huge touchdown down the sideline. The next time they ran the play, the outside WRs both ran posts, while the inside WRs ran comebacks off of their initial wheel routes. The QB hit the same WR on the comeback for a big gain. The next time they ran the play, they ran it as originally run, and the QB hit another wheel route for a big gain. The next time they ran the play, they ran it with the comebacks, but the safety attacked the comeback, leaving the post wide open in the middle of a the field for a huge touchdown. (5) Expect to see a lot of mesh and shallow cross This won't be anything new. Mesh was a staple the past several years, and Texas has come and gone from leaning on the shallow cross at various points in time (almost as if the playcaller forgets we have the play). But it was very effective at times the past few years.

  2. You love him because he's a career criminal and conman and has no idea what he's doing and is historically corrupt and is incapable of telling the truth and is a truly terrible human being? That's weird.

  3. In looking at the 2019 class, it's got a strong boom or bust flavor to it. It's honestly rare to see this many busts this fast, however. Bru McCoy - Drew Mehringer special. Bust here. Bust at USC unless he turns a corner. Jordan Whittington (or Whittingham, depending upon your level of fuckheadery) - Way too early. Hopefully he's healthy and gets plenty of work in the spring. Jake Smith - Looks like a star early, but has to get his head right and the staff has to recover from Drew Mehringer and Corby Meekins mishandling this guy. Tyler Johnson - Early reports are strong on him and he's been all Texas. De'Gabriel Floyd - Injury related bust that no one could have prevented or saw coming. Feel bad for him and hope he has a great life and gets a UT degree. Tyler Owens - Ended up playing a lot due to other injuries and showed promise, while being put in impossible situations. Liked him a lot on special teams. Kenyatta Watson - If he doesn't transfer and gets some coaching, he will be a starter and a potential stud at CB. Looked great on his ability to cover, had no coaching on paying attention to the ball. Marcus Washington - Another potential transfer candidate that needs help recovering from being mushroomed by the WR staff. David Gbenda - Good buzz about him and then he decided to smoke weed, get tossed from the bowl experience and now is a threat to transfer. Brayden Liebrock - Good buzz on him and no other murmurs. Chris Adimora - The first guy on the list that looks like he's a sure fire bet to be a highly productive player at Texas for 3-4 years. Fuck. Derrian Brown - See De'Gabriel Floyd. Good luck, young man. Roschon Johnson - If he stays at TB, he will be a star at Texas and have a career in the NFL a la Chris Ogbannaya. Isaiah Hookfin - I haven't heard shit about him. I hope that is a good thing. Myron Warren - I haven't heard shit about him. I hope that is a good thing. The forgotten man on the DL from this class. Javonne Shepherd - A walking cancer that showed promise early and convinced himself that he should be starting. Challenged Yancy McKnight to a fight and threatened to kill someone, allegedly, and was promptly shown the door. Hopefully he is able to get in to ATM so that he can take elephantine shits all over their locker room and throw Jimbo Fisher across the field in an impromptu midget-tossing contest between him and Zac Evans. Jacoby Jones - Sounded like a promising candidate to play big time snaps until he suckerpunched an OL during practice and was thrown into the doghouse. Marcus Tillman - Looked promising on special teams early until he suffered an injury that caused a redshirt. T'Vondre Sweat - Played early, often, and well (considered the defensive circumstances) and looks like a potential starter and major contributor. Peter Mpagi - I haven't heard shit about. I hope that is a good thing. Caleb Johnson - A wet fart of a recruit that showed up long enough to transfer. Total waste of a scholarship. Kennedy Lewis - Looked good and showed promise during a redshirt campaign. Hopefully he wasn't ruined by the twat coaching him. Marques Caldwell - Redshirted. Complaints early were that he couldn't pick up the complexities of the defense but could cover well when not asked to think. I certainly hope things turn for him with a new defensive staff, given the absurdity of what I wrote in the prior sentence. Jared Wiley - Looks like a fucking beast in the making at TE. Willie Tyler - I haven't heard shit about him. I hope that is a good thing. Juwan Mitchell - A JAG that played a lot at LB and I presume will continue to do so because we need warm bodies. Yikes. That's 5 guys out of the program already - Floyd, McCoy, C Johnson, D Brown, Shepherd. 2 more obvious potential transfers right now in Gbenda and J Smith. A group of players sticking around at WR to see if we can figure anything out there with coaching. A bunch of unknowns at OL and DL. Some promise but risk on at DB and WR. Some solid performers early in RJ, Wiley, Adimora, Sweat and some of the receivers. There's still a lot of hope for this class and I'm not Randolph Duking it and declaring it a bust of a class at this point, but we really need the guys in the trenches, especially the OL, and the WRs/TEs to hang on and show up big in the future.

  4. Is it a good thing that Sadam is dead? He was a bad dude for sure, is the world a better place without him? Was his death worth the trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives we spent as a consequence? We don't live in a vacuum. If there are no consequences for Suleimani's death, sure, burn in hell you POS, good job America. But is his death worth the lives of a couple thousand 19 year old kids from the mid-west? Is it worth trillions of dollars in taxpayer money? Is it worth $150/oil that would drag us into a recession and kill American manufacturing? Actions have consequences. I just hope this admistration is ready for what it just started, because if it is not, Suleimani might become synonymous with Archduke Ferdinand.

  5. No, this one happened at a coffee shop. It went down something like this: Perpetrator : Can I get a large black coffee? Barista : A what? Perpetrator : Large black coffee. Barista : Do you mean a venti? Perpetrator : No, I mean a large. Barista : Venti is large. Perpetrator : No, venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages. Barista : A venti is a large coffee. The perpetrator then took out a knife and started stabbing everyone in sight. The first wound went into a large to go coffee cup. The last one went between his own eyes but unfortunately, the blade broke on his skull.

  9. Footwork Queen is a piece of human shit. He’s a racebaiting, no talent assclown that can’t make an honest dollar and lives his life by acting as a parasite with talented high school boys. He’s a fucking leech on society and the kind of shitbag that is ruining college football at a breakneck pace. I hope his shenanigans get investigated and taken down at the NCAA and/legal levels. Fuck him, fuck Willie Lyles and fuck the whole lot of those pimps masquerading as “trainers”.

  10. Let’s recap. - Evans had his hands out his entire recruitment asking for money. - He openly was implying that he would not sign with a school that did not “take care” of his teammate, that fat fuck OL... can’t remember his name. - He thrashed the Texas coaches and players and then the aggy coaches publicly. His head coach forced him to visit those schools to apologize in fear that they would stop recruiting his teammates. - He stopped going to class all of spring football. - He told the Alabama RB coach to fuck himself and along with their fans on a live video bc the coach told him he wouldn’t start at Bama if he didn’t mature. - He admitted in an interview over the summer that he plays recruiting games with schools to see what he can get. - He punched one of his coaches and got suspended. - I’m not sure what he did again, but he got suspended again from the state championship game by his HC and was sent home. - UGA is not accepting his LOI. No school with success and good locker room is going to take this kid. He has red flags all over him. He’s a head case that only cares about himself. He thinks he’s above his coaches, his teammates, and the program. Any school that accepts his LOI, assuming he has the grades, will do so knowing he’s going to cause drama and that there’s probably enough dirt out there on him that it’s a NCAA investigation waiting to happen. With that said, aggy will do anything to sign him. Fuck this kid. He doesn’t deserve the opportunity of a free education with the way he’s fucked around.

  13. Because "how, and by whom" matters in such things. For example, I definitely think the world would be better off if Donald Trump died today. I make no bones about that assessment. HOWEVER, I think it would be disastrous is somebody assassinated the President. Even worse, if a foreign power like Iran did. Because either scenario would have huge negative implications for the rule of law, the peaceful succession of power, and the sanctity of a sovereign nation being secure in its leadership. So, Soleimani dead? Good. Us killing him in a brazen attack in Iraq, and bragging about it far and wide? Not good.

  17. There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again. 2019 was a fooled you moment. I’m still expecting 3-4 Ls Hoping everyone is quoting this in December when we win the conference. And I’ll eat crow. But I’m buying much of the same

  26. The thing we need to focus on is we have taken care of quite a bit of the Medical Retirement categories with Longhorn sports recently. Brain Bleed - check Cervical Spinal Stenosis - check Cardiac - check Lymphoma - check Systemic Vaginitis - check (Bru) We haven't had a Marfan's that I'm aware of and we still have the chance for a type 1 diabetic popping up (although you could play through this potentially). Maybe a Multiple Sclerosis will pop up next year or Sickle-Cell.

  27. I, for one, CELEBRATE this attack that took out a warmonger who believes that God has ordained his country's leadership with divine blessing for armed conflict to take on a rival nation. Enough of these violent theocrats supporting violence in the name of God! Wait...what's that? Oh.... Furk.....
