  1. The situation at Florida was more akin to Texas than OSU. I think we’d all settle for a MNC in year two. The greater point being that this program isn’t where Strong left it, and Irban should be able to step in and have it rolling relatively quickly.
  2. Ohio State was built and running fine under Tressel. Their record under interim coach Fickel had nothing to do with a talent or culture problem. Urban brought their offense out of the Stone Age and killed it there. Urbs is smart. Rebuilds suck. Better to step into mostly built and win instantly than slog thorough 2-3 intermediate seasons.
  3. There’s no eligibility penalty this year. He could come back as a senior in 2021.
  4. It doesn’t seem that hard. Offer to rewrite the lyrics a touch, and they don’t have to sing it. In return for a dollop of flexibility on their part they get to play for one of the great coaches of all time as he takes UT on a helluva run.
  5. I probably would have if I hadn’t flown a private jet into all the usual mountain places and seen how performance limiting some of those places are even for a Lear. They extended the runways in ASE and TEX so they’re not as challenging as they once were. But damn.
  6. Yeah, If TEX and EGE are on the list. ASE too. MTJ is less critical, but still a challenge.
  7. The US Navy has been patenting some pretty eye opening stuff of late. They’ll see your Terminator 2 tech and raise you Star Wars level stuff in reply if any of the patents have an actual basis in reality.
  8. All the more reason to bring him in. 10 years of success and continuity sounds pretty good right about now.
  9. Saban went the other route and won a bunch of MNC’s at Bama. No need for the third stop. He’s solidified as the GOAT. Urbs’ rep is a bit tarnished. He can’t catch Saban’s number, but he can do something no one else has done. Guys with the kind of competitive drive and desire to win two separate MNC’s don’t have an off switch, and Texas presents the ideal situation that Meyer likes to step into. A largely rebuilt blueblood in need of elite leadership to take the final step. Will his family and health allow it? Idk. I guarantee you it’s killing him to sit and watch Saban and Dabo make him look like an interesting footnote when opportunities abound for one last hurrah.
  10. He doesn’t need money, but I bet he really craves a MNC at a third program to solidify his legacy.
  11. We still use steamers today. Not even talking about the nukes who are going electric btw. Those Marine amphibious assault ships run on steam. About 1200 psi stuff vs the 600 psi power plants used by in WWII.
  12. The boiler doesn’t monitor itself.
  13. Doesn’t matter. We’ve been committed to not trying it for nearly a decade plus.
  14. Ketch assumes complete staff turnover. I’m assuming just Herman and a few of his less impressive staff members. Urban has already hired both of our coordinators at OSU, and would conceivably keep a few others. Either way it’s a shit ton of money that likely isn’t getting donated by anyone anytime soon short of Urban announcing on tv that he wants and will take the job, and CDC donning some deal with it sunglasses for the high and mighty portion of the school that thinks Texas is above all of Urb’s baggage.
  15. The cheapest option would be Hiring Urban so long as he retained much of this staff which is much of his former staff. But even then with Herm’s buyout, Urb’s new contract and some staff turnover you’re talking probably $30M+. So it’s a BMD led buyout or nothing, because the AD is likely tapped out.
  16. TCU gave up 7 sacks to ISU with their drop 8 defense. We managed a few pressures and a sack. Probably largely because Ass’ best answer to Big XII offenses is to hope our DL dominates while giving them precious few opportunities to do anything other than run straight ahead, and occasionally bring a 5th man with the MLB or a corner.
  17. Snowman football where QB’s don’t scramble for 40 yard TD’s as opposed to the track meets we run in this conference. The infuriating thing is that Ass had all offseason to watch film and realize that OC’s in this league will happily abuse the middle if you continue to line up unsound or have glacial LB’s. There’s no gentlemen’s agreement that between the hashes is a place where QB’s fear to tread or throw here.
  18. Utah had zero film of a CN run defense. Have to take that performance with a grain of salt.
  19. I was, uh, under the impression that Tom would be free to concentrate on game and clock management while making his head coachiness better if he were free from the rigors or offensive playcalling. Turns out he’s just shitty at everything flag me day related other than sole playcalling duties.
  20. They looked something far less than clinical in every year under the current staff not called 2020. They do look good this year.
  21. The sickening part was the third operable Hind that was destroyed by the truck driver more interested in hitting the porn store than observing overpass heights. Our plane had a mx issue that day and it was a cool way to kill of couple of hours.
  22. Visited with one of the proprietors once. They have two operable Hinds, a Cobra, a Huey, a MiG 21, some Hips and various other Russian trainers. It was very cool.
  23. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/marine-35-jet-crashes-clipping-wings-refueling-plane/story%3fid=73325534 F-35B and a C-130J bumped uglies while refueling. F-35 pilot ejected and his plane crashed next to the Salton Sea. Someone captured a video of that if anyone cares to look. The Herc shed props on 3 engines and made a successful belly landing in a field.
  24. It is still legal to play the occasional game with the DL isn’t it. Like an occasional stunt or twist? Or is rush straight ahead only some kind of new rule?
  25. It’s Yurcich’s offense using Herman’s verbiage for continuity (which probably wasn’t much of a stretch since Yurcich likely had the same issue at Ohio St as they transitioned from the Herman/Meyer offense to the Ryan Day attack). If the Okie St. offense is any sort of harbinger of what is in store then I’m not overly concerned with hot reads and route adjustments when defenses finally manage to bring some heat. The low number concept number approach paired with numerous formations looks complex to defenses, but results in the same reads being made time and again. And things like that Mesh/wheel play we ran has a lot of quick and dangerous answers available if the defense asks the wrong pressure question at the wrong time. Especially as our WR core returns to full health. My two cents anyway.
