  1. We fired a coach who struggled to win 7 games with his 2020 squad. His Mensa ass would still be here overthinking questions, undercooking food and sitting on single digit leads in the second quarter if he had managed to win 9 games last year.
  2. Can something without a soul be woken up?
  3. Just remember that women would be the nastiest creature on the planet if they weren’t so lovely. They’ll out fart you any day of the week. I’m pretty sure the ladeez room looks like post nuclear Hiroshima when a group of them goes to powder their noses together.
  4. What’s nice here is that he had choices. He holds the ball a half a beat longer and one of the slot receivers was in the process of getting very lonely in the corner of the end zone.
  5. What’s with the gap?
  6. Now This has a new handle?
  7. I guess no one is going to mention that they snuck Kareem’s Abdul Jabar in on the far right as their token black guy?
  8. Do you hope they’ll dance…..
  9. It’s 15 feet above the lake so it should be fine. I think I saw the storm surge was in the 10ft range.
  10. The video feed showed cars driving. Hopefully emergency services, but it wasn’t clear.
  11. Mine are East of there in Washington Parish. They should miss the worst of it. Just had a whole house generator installed with about a week’s worth of fuel stored so they felt confident. I asked them what would they do if a tree fell on it. Blank stares in reply. Tried to get them to leave before the final path was better known, and they declined because they were worried about taking their cats. SMH.
  12. Yeah, but wasn’t Solich, in addition to not quite winning as much as UNL was used to, kinda banging his way through the local female populous in ways that Petrino could only dream of.
  13. They’re related though. The pressure differential is what causes the winds to rush from higher pressure areas surrounding a Low pressure center, and the coriolis effect causes the rightward deflection of that inward rushing air in the northern hemisphere. So Lows rotate counterclockwise and Highs rotate clockwise in this hemisphere. Lower pressure also usually implies the opportunity for stronger storms as air can rise easier convectively as opposed to sinking air of a high pressure area quashing thunderstorms. A millibar is a metric measure denoting a unit of pressure per square cm if memory serves. Inches of mercury denotes the height of a column of mercury equal to a column of the atmosphere of same circumference from sea level to the it’s top at 59F/15C. 29.92” or 1013.2 MB is considered standard pressure. I’m sure a real meteorologist just cringed at all that, but it’s a quick an dirty explanation for the OP you replied to.
  14. Bert must wear his headset farther forward on his head than anyone else I’ve ever seen.
  15. Bielima is getting into Mangino towel wiping territory. Might be the backup QB’s job.
  16. No demons, but land wrong once with a large human jumping on you and the whole season changes. Gotta suck for the Illini QB. Game 1, quarter 1 and done for half the year.
  17. And that’s why Casey will hang around for the season.
  18. They were using half the width of the Bagram runway for a long time so they could repair the other side, and then reverse roles. Probably not something you’d want to try with the civil reserve fleet, but I’m sure the C17 and Herc drivers would find it pretty run of the mill. Also, Bagram is a hop, skip and a jump away buy plane. i would think taking small turbine aircraft and VTOL options if necessary to that facility could be an option, and then let the heavies operate out of there. No crowds, large fields of fire and all the equipment to run an airbase is assuredly still sitting there. Sweep the surrounding area with apaches etc until a force capable of defending the perimeter could be moved in
  19. I did a poor job of naming the play. The ones I’m referring to are those end around looking play where the QB tosses the ball forward so it’s a pass and a failure at the mesh is an incomplete and not a fumble. The Shovel or Utah pass you and another are referring to is the disastrous call to end the half. I suspect Monroe had poor hands and or ran poor routes. I also suspect someone like Steve Sarkisian would have been scheming free releases for him at the LOS and making defenders chase home across the field dodging other crossers. He as dangerous with the ball in his hands. But, we had the Greg Davis offensive ideal instead where Tony Jeffery reverses, and Brett Robin screens were things. We either announced the play with personnel or with down/distance/alignment as surely as if we sent Monroe into the game with a cue card that read “I’m getting the ball on a slot sweep!”.
  20. Getting run in the NFL might mean something if I had alleged he was an NFL player. I said he wasn’t even a poor man’s Goodwin. But he wasn’t trash, and plenty of college talents get no time at all in the league if they don’t fit squarely into most GM’s size and weight specifications or skill set for a position. Alabama was so ready for the shovel pass to Monroe, which was about the only play we gave him because god knows GD couldn’t be bothered to build off of it, that they limited Monroe to a 10 yard carry being stopped at their 1, and a 28 yard carry several drives later in the offensive implosion. Without looking I would suspect that Monroe had 1 of the perhaps 3 or 4 total explosive plays on the night by UT. Running the only play he ran. Against a defense that knew that. He nearly scored the other time. Saban correctly identified him as our most dangerous player. Our offense was fairly limp dicked that year once it was basically Colt and Jordan playing back yard ball while Greg Davis just relied on his 08 offense despite losing his NFL 3rd down back, and NFL oldest rookie receiver in Cosby. Every defense with a pulse made us look bad. We don’t know how good or bad Monroe could have been, because our staff didn’t have the grey matter to find ways to get him the ball. I’m sure he earned some of that neglect in practice, but to say he was terrible is asinine.
  21. Just s friendly reminder that some guy named Nick Saban decided that DJ Monroe was the most dangerous player on UT’s offense when they played Bama in 09. That’s not to say the Heisman was all but his save for the utter ineptitude that was GD, but this thought that he plain sucked is wrong. I don’t think he was even a poor man’s Goodwin, but he wasn’t the JV waterboy either. He, much like Goodwin, was the victim of Greg Davis being unable to find a creative mind from which to copy innovative offensive ways to use those skill sets.
  22. About 2/3’s through it. Interesting premise. The science is enjoyable. The flashing back and forth as the main character regains himself is pretty contrived at first and gets better. The sidekick is interesting, implausible and moved the story along nicely. A nice follow up to the Martian in my opinion. Maybe a bridge too far, but an enjoyable read anyway. Especially once the plot gets moving.
  23. Nah. That’s where they keep their wallets. We all know who has their money.
  24. To be clear, that’s just the locker for their wallets.
