  1. He was a helluva lot better than solid here. His first defense was good, his second was elite and his third would have been elite if not actively sabotaged by the offense on every down of every game they played. And the Big XII has actually backed off as an offensive league. Outside of OU its a pretty run of the mill spread league with KSU holding out. The really devious MF’ers have left the league or football for one reason or another.
  2. AJ McCarron never dreamed of the kind of production Jones is enjoying.He’s a lot closer to Tua than any of the Jurassic offense worthy signal callers that once inhabited Tuscaloosa.
  3. ORD runways are East/West with two that run SW/NE. Also there’s a rather large body of water directly east of the city that probably creates some sea/land breeze effect. I haven’t noticed landing one direction or the other more prominently at ORD, MDW, PWK, UGN or DPA.
  4. Can we start a “Jumped the Sark” thread?
  5. Best pair of face rapers with jackhammer feet to ever grace a Fox Sports Southwest broadcast imoho.
  6. You just described a significant number of surlers.
  7. A strong rushing attack helps any QB. And Casey’s legs will get some attention of their own. Still, there’s going to be someone who shuts down our OZ attack and forces Casey to do it with his arm. I have little confidence that Hermdog will have many counters to punish defenses for doing that outside of throwing man run around like a headless chicken until the secondary breaks down.
  8. Haskins looked pretty iffy from the comfort of my unpaid living room couch when the analysis superseded “big strong guy who throws ball good”. You could see he was a head case.
  9. Speaks volumes about a certain NFL head office.
  10. Seeing what Oregon does, or figuring that we won’t send an Egypt blitz on 3rd and Orlando is not really pertinent to the conversation. Seeing OU run something that we haven’t seen ISU run doesn’t do a lot to prepare our team for ISU running it other than hopefully some sharp player or coach seeing a tell pre or post snap. It’s hardly the way that you’d prep for another team. The larger point being that the Utah win was fool’s gold. They may not have been motivated to be there. They were down some of their secondary stars (future NFL players if I remember correctly), and they weren’t able to prepare well for our Ad Hoc defense. And it’s why my excitement for CT’s performance is tempered for now.
  11. You realize that tendency is the glue that connects all game day prep and in game coaching decision making right? Staffs will go back and try to find any film at all, coworkers and or opponents of an interim coordinator’s tendencies and preferences. Utah may have had some idea of what Naviar likes to do and what our various player strengths and weaknesses were. But they didn’t have charted data for down, distance, hash or pressure for what Naviar trotted out. And that shit matters. How often do we see some backup QB get inserted into the game, particularly against us, and watch them gut our defense for a quarter to a half? Pretty f’ing often to my mind. And it’s because the damn coaches are paralyzed. They don’t know what to do. We start playing a lot of base and guessing with blitzes because we don’t know their tendencies. Much the same with Casey Thompson. He looked great last night. We now definitively know that he can pass the ball quite well. Fanf’ingtastic. Now let’s see how he does once teams have a book on his tendencies, favorite concepts, and pet plays and players. Several teams will have the ability to make him play left handed. CU was guessing that we’d lean on the run and we burned them for it repeatedly. Sometimes it doesn’t work out that way. The talent disparity is sufficient or the coaching staffs are insufficient. But there are plenty of data points suggesting that coaching without then ability to prepare and chart tendency is kinda hard.
  12. That and I think they were down a couple of all everything safeties while having zero film to prepare for Craig Naviar’s improvised bowl defense. Kinda like CU had nothing to prep themselves for Casey.
  13. Gave the wife a choice of optics and mounted lights or a new gun. She wanted a new shotgun. So we just bought this 12 gauge semi auto bullpup shotgun, and she sprung for some 10 round mags. Panzer Arms BP12 Gen 2 .
  14. He’s a “good enough” coach. Depends on who his staff would be. The boosters will hate him. And he’ll be insufferable when he drops an 8 spot or less in the win column. He’ll win more than Hermdog. Don’t know that he’ll dethrone Lincoln Riley program in the Big XII. I wouldn’t hate his hire. I wouldn’t be in love with it either.
  15. I don’t think you coach busted ribs and a jacked up throwing hand back into shape. Shane healed. And then he balled.
  16. 1. dickbutt 2. Triceracocks 3. Nick Rose UT photo 4. Peg Bundy (honoring Now_This) 5. Pope Urban
  17. First ever documented use of chemtrails. Alex Jones is all over it.
  18. He’ll put up freaky number and get drafted because NFL GM’s pleasure themselves watching combine film and there’s no shortage of NFL coaches with enough hubris to think they can turn athletes into studs. I wish him luck, but he is making a mistake imoho. I see him and wonder why such a good receiver doesn’t recieve so good.
  19. You ever wonder how many steam engines were raided to fill out the instrument panels of our B-52 fleet?
  20. You’re drooling on the G. The pilots are looking at the HUD and the FLIR.
  21. Briles would kill it offensively at East Jesus State Nunnery and Trade School. He is getting old enough that I question whether he could fully build out his program and start attracting the elite talent he was at BU before he calls it a career.
  22. He’s racked up a decent win percentage with 6 ten+ win seasons, a couple of CFP appearances and one MNC berth. He’s also been completely pantsed when ND goes up against the tippity top of today’s CFB landscape. I think attracting the very best athletes to a dumpy, lake effect snow village populated by pasty, plus sized catholic girls to run up good W/L’s records largely against midwestern also rans is a tough ask these days.
  23. I’m sure it relies on UM’s less than voluminous knowledge of the greater Austin oil industry.
