  1. Gundy moved the DEs outside eliminating outside zone and jet sweep options. This funneled every run back to the middle. Our OL is so shitty, they can't even run block in the A and B gaps when the DEs are outside. It basically shut down the run game. We have no answer for that. There was a reason we abandoned those plays, the shit no longer worked. They dared Casey to beat them with his arm with a defender in his face. CHIEF
  2. CHIEF Jr. spent hours researching game cams. We ended up with a Covert game cam. My feeder sits at the bottom of a 200 ft. cliff that it must shoot a signal over. Right now I have 90% battery life (about 35 pictures a day), and 60% signal strength, between Benjamin and Guthrie. https://www.amazon.com/Covert-CO8076-Code-Black-2021/dp/B08VQFZGY7/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&qid=1634748402&sr=8-1&srs=9517145011 CHIEF
  3. About 10 years ago we were hunting on the Swenson Ranch between Aspermont and Hamlin. A shot this big solitary sow (500 or so lbs.) from about 600 yards. I was proud of the shot, of course, but it was like hitting a large dinner plate. CHIEF Jr. was not with me, but I decided to go show her to him the next morning. We went to the location, and I couldn't find her. We started looking around for her, and found nothing but her skull and spine about 50 yards away. The other hogs had eaten everything else overnight.

  4. When I was a kid, I knew a guy that used to make "trot lines" for coyotes. He would bait them with pieces of meat, and hang them high enough that the coyote had to jump to reach it, and would get hooked. Absolutely the most cruel thing I ever heard of. His rationale was that coyotes didn't care if a fawn was still alive when they started to eat it. I always thought humans were better than that. CHIEF
  5. That's all I got. CHIEF
  6. Yep, Bijan, KRob, J Miller would all be featured backs in 90% of backfields, and if you add Owens, that is a crowded and talented backfield. Bijan will be gone when Owens gets here. But Owens looks killer, and would probably take Blue's carries. CHIEF
  7. A pack of 3 sounds like 30. Might be time to invest in some night vision/thermal gear. CHIEF
  8. If he is offered and stays, I would be very concerned if I was an aggy. He will never have the horses to win a championship at A&M. We know it, he knows it. He will just coast along, rest on his laurels, and collect paychecks. He is set for life with no expectations. All LSU has to do is make an above average hire, and aggy will be back to 7-8 losses in a row. CHIEF
  9. I thought Woodward was all about "splash" hires. A guy in his second year at a small private school P5 and a guy that has never coached at the P5 level doesn't seem like his style. But a "sitting national championship winning coach" stolen from a recruiting rival seems to make sense. CHIEF
  10. Well ol' Goaty Goat showed up by himself last night a little before 3am. He and his buddies have been hitting the feeder pretty hard. I have another feeder about a mile away I think I'm gonna hunt at the beginning of season, at least until the deer drop down into the river bottom. The hunter that was at that feeder isn't on the lease anymore, but there was a 3.5-4.5 year old 12 point that was coming to that feeder last year. It has no camera, so not sure what to expect. CHIEF
  11. What other "Big Name" coach doesn't come with a buyout? Woodward probably got wind he was gonna have a chance to get back to BR, why do you think he wrote Jimbo's contract the way he did? Jimbo isn't elite, but neither were Leslie and the Ogre. If Jimbo is ever gonna win another championship, his only chance is Baton Rouge. All you have to do is be an elite recruiter of Louisiana talent, and just out talent other teams. There is plenty of talent in Louisiana to win it all with his "keep away" brand of football. CHIEF
  12. When my Old Man was still alive we would go to Lake Calcasieu every October. We usually had our limits by about Noon. We would then set up on the edge of the ship channel and catch a couple of hundred Sand Trout till we got tired of catching them. They were like perch in a stock pond, you had to have the slack out of your line by the time your bait/lure hit the surface, and just set the hook. CHIEF
  13. I'm pretty sure that was Sarks first choice. I remember that being the scuttlebutt on Surly. I'm pretty sure Gideon was hired as someone that Muschamp would want on his staff. I didn't check on his status until this thread. I thought the consensus was that he was going to Georgia (home) to be the DC. How did he end up just an analyst? CHIEF
  14. This is exactly what happened. The only thing the Texas offense can run successfully is outside zone with Bijan. Gundy moved his defensive ends outside the tackles to take that away, and funnel Bijan back to the middle. Even with the DEs moved outside, this offensive line cannot block well enough for Bijan to at least make it back to the line of scrimmage in the A or B gap. Texas is a "one trick pony". What I'm amazed at, is why teams wait till the second half to make this adjustment. Just load up the box, Casey isn't going to beat you with his arm, because there will be no time before he is hit for a pass play to develop. Nick Saban would be sitting at 4-3 right now, with this offensive line. CHIEF
  15. Say what you want. But Kansas was shit before and after. Fucker won an Orange Bowl. CHIEF
  16. That's who I wanted before the Urban fiasco. Still think Sark is an elite QB, OL, and DC from being a CFP team. At this point, Texas just needs to stick with someone and ride it out. This team's biggest problem is playing in 2-3 different schemes, and a mishmash of players not recruited for the present scheme. The last two losses are teams with inferior talent but coaching continuity. CHIEF
  17. I fully believe that the assistants hired, were the ones requested by one Will Muschamp. What would this team look like with Sark's first choice at DC? A one loss team to Arkansas? Perhaps. Muschamp knew how to defend against Big XII teams. PK is so scared of the big play and keeping things in front of him, that he neglects to give respect to the running game of good running teams. That deep pass will still connect less often than not. Ball placement and the receiver's hands, still, are additional factors. Make them beat you with long, low percentage passes. Based on who Sark could pull, PK seemed like the best decision. Was his reputation built on scheming against shitty offenses? That looks like the case. Make QBs beat you over the top, if they average 200+ rushing yards, commit to the run. The defense that beat UT today, is the exact defense scheme Texas should have been using. The soft coverage will get Texas beat every game. The two high safety look has got to stop. CHIEF
  18. Afraid he will die of dysentery along the way? CHIEF
  19. I used to hang mine overnight, but you always had to watch the weather. I had a buddy I hunted with for a couple of years, he would quarter his deer up and throw them in a cooler and cover with ice. He was a procrastinator, so he would just keep buying ice and adding to the cooler and drain the water off every couple of days for about 3 weeks. He was divorced, so he brought over a backstrap for Mrs. CHIEF to fry up for us one night, and it was sublime. I've been doing it with my deer ever since. CHIEF
  20. Pullet surprise fur sure. CHIEF
  21. I get my fish for sushi from Catalina Offshore Products https://catalinaop.com. Order it one day, it is there the next. Best Uni I have ever eaten. I swear it is so fresh, that one time I bought a whole Kampachi, I could have swore he gasped for air when I opened the styrofoam ice chest. CHIEF
  22. This. Containment with no pressure doesn't work in this conference, or probably any conference. You can't cover receivers for 6-7 seconds, and the receivers and quarterbacks are all good enough to make you pay for that philosophy. Not having an Ossai sucks. But you have to unleash Collins and another Edge player and try to create some pressure from that position. Especially when you get the opponent in a 3rd and long position. CHIEF
  23. I actually read that wrong only 37% see their second birthday. CHIEF
  24. https://www.realtree.com/brow-tines-and-backstrap/how-long-do-white-tailed-deer-live 75% of hunters will not pass up a 4.5 year old buck, that will be possibly the biggest they ever see. Especially if they think there is a possibility that someone else will shoot them. You have to have enough land, and like-minded hunters with enough knowledge on being able to judge a deer's age on the hoof. Only 37% of bucks on public land ever see their second birthday. CHIEF
  25. A 4.5 will have 90% of the antler score of a 5.5. but at least a 50% chance of not seeing 5.5 years. That is a nice buck, a shooter for sure. If he looks really worn down at the end of December, he would be tough to turn down. CHIEF
