    Solomon Williams would be a great bookend to go along with Colin Simmons.

    In this video, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers talk about Ethan Burke and breakdown video of Colin Simmons, Zina Umeozulu, and then Solomon Williams.

    I have it set at the Solomon Williams discussion, but looking at the video I would have them ranked (1) Simmons (2) Williams (3) Umeozulu

     

    Here is the video I referenced above.

    Eh, I’d love to have him but that’s mainly because Gerry said he was underrated.  Otherwise he’s depth behind Simmons and has the size measurements of a tweener like Finkley.  If A&M chooses to deploy money here and that helps keep more dry powder for Kobe Black or Mack then that’s probably a win for UT.  

    Williams and Simmons would play on opposite sides of the line. On a previous post I shared an IT video with highlights of Simmons, Williams, and Umeozulu. Simmons is incredible, but Williams is also really impressive. As we showed against OU, we need more speed on both edges.

    My pecking order would be Simmons>>Williams>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Umeozulu.

    What does that mean?

    That they’re doing pre and postgame stuff?

    did they never do that in previous years?

    It means Sparks AND Blum in the locker room for playoff celebrations.......with JULIA of course.

    We raised a goat and she placed 2nd.  Ended up selling it for a couple thousand at auction.  She just never went to the meetings.

    PSA:  Goats are the devil.  Don't bring one into your world. They fuck everything up.

    To get back on topic, the poor goat acted that way because it knew it was destined to be auctioned off to a sick, depraved, goat-rapist aggy.

    It helped her that she had a lot on her resume.  Volunteer work, FFA, Cheer, student counsel, TOKC and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others.  The point is that is they do like students who are involved in activities that they can show they did something other than just show up or win a popularity contest  (the Texas admissions people say this as well) and that is what separated her from her peers and earned her close to $100,000 in scholarships so far.

    Her freshman year in high school.  My wife dragged our daughter to the FFA Club meeting after the teacher gave her and a couple of her cheer friends the hard sell on FFA.  My wife and daughter walk into the school looking for the meeting.  They spot a bunch of rejects and dorks sitting around in what should be the meeting location inside the cafeteria.  They both, mother and daughter, keep walking like they're there for something else and find the nearest exit to the parking lot.  

    Of course it shows up on the resume. She "showed up" for a meeting.

    ESPN's efficiency metric is interesting because it isolates only plays from this current season, instead of using recruiting/transfer data and previous seasons' results like SP+/FPI/FEI; the former is more interesting for seeing how teams are actually performing this year (albeit in a small sample size and noisy set), while the ladder is more useful for gambling 

    Surprised the grammar Nazis haven't attacked this one yet.

    Ladders are useful for climbing.

    So is Vasek just chopped liver at this point? 

    Every year we sign about 25 new recruits, which means we should be recruiting a player for every position, taking into account roster needs.

    Next year we will still recruit at least one, if not multiple Edges, even if we are completely satisfied with this year's haul. That's recruiting.

  9. Flashing to Herbie on SportsCenter prior to GameDay, two signs over Herbie's right shoulder:

    "Rock Out with your Cock Out" and "You're the Game to my Cock"

    Going to love being in a conference with uSC.

    whole lotta wussiness going on up in here.  you guys are complaining that its going to be too hot.  you're going to be sitting down, wearing comfortable clothes, holding a cold beverage, expending zero energy.  and your whiny asses want to lodge a formal complaint.  the players will be in full pads, practically running wind sprints for 3 hours, and theyve been doing it all summer.  all you gotta do is sit there and clap (if you can see yourself to it).  do as all a favor and stay home and give your tickets to someone with a little more grit in their character.

    Also have to deal with 3 year olds whining and screaming because their family is trying to toughen them up for their next vacation.
