  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Nah. That’s where they keep their wallets. We all know who has their money.
  5. To be clear, that’s just the locker for their wallets.
  6. Now add a random flaming dumpster full of poo landing on it at the end and you’ll have an accurate description of the last 10 years.
  7. Can’t play stout second down defense unless you let them convert third down and have moderate success on first down. Its science.
  8. Probably the guy in charge of field alignment.
  9. His private message board name is Scipio_Tex, which means pillar of words. His secret name is Muad’Dib which is what we call the gap in the stadium.
  10. You didn’t use the “ I’m just fucking with you” font. Forgive me for just assuming pure assholery. It’s endemic to surly.
  11. In a world of smart phones, autocorrect, posting while otherwise occupied and general fat fingering of touch screens one can surmise that most grammatical errors are tech induced, and not because someone doesn’t understand the difference between your and the contraction of “you are”. You know this. Your intention was to be an asshole. You succeeded. If you would like to take umbrage with my point about not needing to be an unquestioned subject matter expert to comment on a topic on a sports message board then do so. We both know you don’t have a point. Carry on.
  12. Yeah. Horrible. Probably crushed into the machinery. Just sickening. Feel for the crew too.
  13. You an asshole bro? You seem like an asshole. You tried and succeeded.
  14. Your not the president and yet I’d bet you’ve openly questioned the last two or three pretty regularly.
  15. The main gear for a C-17 have pieces that protrude through the fairing while the gear is extended making excellent hand holds. It’s not unusual to see a lot of grease on this fuselage just aft of the gear as it comes off of these and other parts of the landing gear. At best the Afghani’s holding onto these parts lost hands and fingers before plunging to their deaths. Hiding in any wheel well is almost always summary execution by crushing. And if you somehow contort around all that stuff you usually freeze to death or die of asphyxiation. Im sure you realized a lot of that. But the people who died outside of those planes did so out of incredible ignorance and fear. Pretty sure the first guy who fell off the C-17 in the video above was either on the outboard wing or somehow holding on to the #4 engine pylon. Its all heartbreaking. For both the needless death and avoid ability.
  16. Probably naive of me, but why isn’t an understanding that “everyone we want out gets out without so much as a scratch of paint on a C-17, or there will be a JDAMathon like you can’t believe now that you goat fuckers are exposed in urban areas” an option?
  17. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the lower bowl was built at all at once and should be relatively symmetrical to itself? Look, the aggies have four mismatched sides to their stadium, seats with views to nowhere, and a field that had to be shifted 10 yards towards one endzone to make the sight lines work out after the rebuild. And no one can tell on game day because it’s not obvious. If our sideline area behind the field would end up uneven then so be it. No one would see it with the teams standing in there, and tv wouldn’t focus on it. The uprights being off center will be obvious to everyone with any awareness extending past their navel.
  18. We would be lampooning anyone else for the same BS. Everyone understands the field is set correctly to itself. That having it reset to the stadium, particularly when the carpet was being replaced anyway, was too much to ask in the midst of a $175M project is asinine. What would the cost of a new survey and hole add to the project? .00057% if we priced it like a military acquisition?
  19. I think the Afghanis were told “Two weeks to stop the spread” and assumed we were talking about the goat fucking, fundamentalist militants.
  20. He clearly knows what he’s doing, but Flood wouldn’t be the first coach to try and start first off the bus, practice warriors over game performers. Competition will reveal all.
  21. They just need to admit that they’re following the Spirit operating playbook.
  22. That’s not true. You can be Covid positive, but you will be seated on the exterior of the departing C-17s.
  23. Sometimes there’s few options left when your masculinity is that strong. Otherwise the entire Pom Squad would be pregnant from having been on the same field that he once walked on.
