    I've diagrammed the play above.

    OU is running a version of I-Veer, but Trapping the End and reading the Mike (Juwan).  He gives a Give read.

    We are in Okie, but shaded over like an Under front. 

    This isn't Rip 3, but is a Quarters check that plays similarly.  Because they are in Trey we check to Solo.  Solo kicks the Free Safety over into middle coverage, keeping the Mike out of run-pass conflict.  Because they are in fact reading the Mike here, it's a good call.

    I think we also check to Stress Coverage  on the strong-side because the split of the WR is tight.  This puts the corner over the top and brings the Cover Safety into the box.

     

    To answer the original question: the Nickel starts as force.  He's keying the slotted TE and when the TE releases, he's a cover player.

    The DE becomes the force at that point.  Normally, a DE would squeeze down against a down block tightening any potential pullers, and taking away any backside cut back.  However, it's common against teams with a lot of read-options (like OU's Bash and Inverted Veer) to "Hold" the DE.  The LB reads have to change to compensate, but that's not terribly important to this play.  Suffice to say that the pulling guard brings the Will and Mike together to take the QB on the dive.  The DE should be taking the RB, and the call was exactly correct to blow up this play - the DE just didn't execute.

    You know, I watch a lot of football. Have for a very long time. I'm an athlete, and watch a ton of sports. And there are times when I realize I don't know a goddamnmed thing about the game of football at a technical level. I know all the words in the above post, but I've never seen them put in this particular order, and I have no idea what you're talking about :). Thanks for bringing the heat ... maybe I can learn something.

    There were more than a few people who still had faith. And the most egregious of critics here hasn’t mea culpa’d. That's why we’re doing this. 

    To be clear, Dr. Beeper is talking about closetojumping. CTJ is smart, incredibly football-savvy, and connected to this program in ways that 99.9% of us are not. However, he was 100% dead-ass fucking wrong about Sam, and he hasn't said shit about it.

  3. I'm taking the younger kiddo (5), so I'd like to be decently close so that the walk when we leave isn't brutal (because I'll certainly be carrying her). LBJ Library lot would be baller. I can meet you during the day Saturday basically any time. No idea what the market value is for this?

    Holy shit.   Didn't realize Chris Tompkins co-wrote this one.  Good for him.   He grew up with Isbell and has been country songwriter of the year a time or too.  Been having mostly bro-country cuts lately.  He is a really great guy.  

     

    That's a fantastic cut, especially with Isbell's intro. I wish the sound on the chorus was a little better.

  5. I also got a little unlucky with the first few songs of hers that I heard. I'm well aware of my own musical tastes; I prefer some pace, some volume, and some movement to my music. The breathy, trying-to-be-super-emotional stuff doesn't get it done for me. A few of her lower-key songs were what I heard early, and it just didn't click. Imagine my surprise to hear Raise Hell or Hard Way Home. Then during the middle of the whole "migrant crisis" (sarcastic emphasis mine), The Joke made it clear that I'd made a mistake, as I hurriedly returned to explore more of her discography. So fucking good ...

    Damn, that Fleetwood Mac cover is nails.  I'm not much of a Maren Morris fan, either, but she fit right in.  Those voices blend really well.  The kick drum (box) and acoustic bass were a nice touch, too.  Was that Brandi's bandmates along with Isbell?

    Every time I watch a Highwomen clip, I come away more and more impressed with Brandi Carlile. I know I"m a little late to this game with her, but no what the arrangement is or how the harmony is structured, I hear her voice first. She just carries that group of four ultra-accomplished women. That's not a slight to the other three, just taking notice of something.

  7. Arrowhead might be the most fun I've ever had on a golf course. I have a picture of my dad and I on what I think is the teebox of the hole AFTER the one in your second pic, PH. That golf course was absolutely stunning, and in great shape, AND at altitude. I love seeing post pictures - it's clearly unmistakable. I really need to go back out there ...

    Rewatched some older TopSpeedGolf videos and Clay talked about flattening at the top by slightly rotating left (front) humorous clockwise leading front elbow to go from pointing down to pointing out and wrist turning door knob clockwise, and matching that with the right humorous, elbow (out to down) and wrist turning clockwise as well.

    Took that to the course today and was blistering my drives and irons were dead on target. I think I have recently been too steep and somehow compensating to get good results.

    I get so focused on hands and hips, I forget about arm action sometimes.

    I love you man, but you think too much :). (miss you in Austin BTW).

    My buddy and I talked with a guy who is in the golf business who volunteered his help to the Kinsers. He said that the new folks want to put in a music/putt putt area where 8 and 9 are, then reconfigure 1-7 into a 9 hole par three. He said the new guys aren't going to do anything the first four months, let things "quiet down", then start making the changes. It'll be around Christmas time when folks are busy and aren't thinking about Butler.

    I certainly can't speak for anyone else, but trying to squeeze 9 holes out of 1-7 is screwing it up. It'll be a cluster fuck on the south side of the course.If people want putt putt, i"m sure there's one close by somewhere. Maybe something that's been around a while.

     

    But hey - C3! They're cool!

    Hahahahahahahahaha ... hey @chitwood I fucking told you so.  Fuck, I just want Butler to stay the same, because changes to that place remind me that I'm getting older. Progress is inevitable. First they came for Armadillo World Headquarters, but I was too young. Then the Black Cat burned down, but I didn't go to 6th all that often. But Butler Park is a step too far.

    8 and 9 are the best holes out there. Burn down that shittastic 3rd hole if you want - the back corner of that lot will hold a food truck pavilion and music lounge, and you can insert another 60-yard hold between 8 tee and the putting green, or even just do away with the putting green and use the space for another hole.

    But. It doesn't matter. In two years, the new operators are going to complain to the city that the current configuration of land (i.e. golf course) is too difficult to run profitably, and recommend that the city investigate other ways to use the property. And two years after that, we'll have more condos.

    I LIKE condos. Our urban density is still shit, even after the 10-year boom. We can't magically make more space for highways and we refuse to put light rail to the university or to the airport (you know, where people actually GO), so our traffic is going to continue to suck. Making the urban core more dense is our biggest remaining weapon. But does it have to be THIS LOT that we put more condos on?

    Good point. I can't recall KM getting rocked a bunch of times though. He seems to pass and miss the big hits, ducks down and take the L, or runs out of bounds.

    I never got why so many on here criticized him for this. I mean I guess because this is Texas board and he's at OU. But I don't want my QB to go out there and start taking unnecessary hits. Fuck that. This is a QBs game. You don't win without one so I want mine standing up to play. I also want one smart enough to know this and to avoid them when possible.

    After the noisy yellers and downright idiots are filtered out, most of us here are pretty complimentary of Kyler's skill set and achievements. He clearly wins, and he's clearly freakishly talented. He didn't start well with us 6 years ago, and he deserves some shit for that, but his on-field results speak for themselves.

    Mayfield chokes on cock by choice. Fuck him.

    First throw was off the back foot and largely luck that he got it out in front of the LB to his man; If I'm an AZ fan I'm worried about that throwing mentality, but gunslingers gonna gunsling I guess. The last throw was really damn nice, dime down the sideline. Props for that one. In balance, in rhythm, on target and on time.

    Now analyze him if he played for texas.

    Ready?

    WE probably said the same about a bunch of Mahomes throws early last year too.

     

    Let's face it, the dude can play. He throws and runs his ass off.  I'm still concerned(or not really) about his size, and when he finally takes a big hit he could be done.  But until he does, he'll probably be pretty good...provided he can see over the DL.

    Totally agree with this entire post. He and Mayfield seem to be jackass peas in a pod, but I can't deny the talent.

  14. God it's fun when you play good golf. Played Plum Creek this morning, 35-39/74. Birdied 7-8-9, and lipped out two others on the back. Couple of lazy bogeys to finish, but just a real solid round. Met three great guys, sun was out, just perfect.

    I know she's talking about FIFA lately because of the World Cup, but the USWNT's bitching was at the US federation and got really loud when they were still making a lot less than the men even after multiple years of bringing in significantly more revenue than the men. And that is 100% valid.

    I swear facts are hard for some people. Thank you for typing this out. I don't care about the ENG-SWE match or what their players get paid (well, actually I do but I'm just a softie liberal who cares about equal opportunity), but on this point there's no factual reason why the USMNT should be paid more than the USWNT. Our Men's team sucks ass, and our women's team are playing for two WCs in three attempts, plus a four of the six gold medals ever awarded in Women's soccer in the Olympics. The Men are bumbling chucklefucks that can't posses a goddamn ball (not you CP,  you're awesome), and the women define their sport.
