  1. Sigh. Yes fixed.
  2. Given the Elks personal background and despite all the yuk yuks he puts on in front of a camera it wouldn't surprise me if the aggie players weren't sold. In fact, I could see more of John Mackovic sort of reaction/relationship with players. Sure he was the coach but on a pure human level, of the multiple players I knew, all agreed they hated Mackovic as a person.
  3. The truth is like poetry, and most people hate poetry. Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come.
  4. There is nothing in Deion's history as a player or HC that indicates, at all, that he's genuinely a good person. None. I'm not calling him evil, but he's a grifter and narcissistic. That's why I, and many others, love to hate him. While I wish him well in his health, health issues won't change my take on his personality.
  5. Well, I don’t want to turn this into yet another MB hate thread so I will just add this and move on. Mack never, ever, coached the team to putting the foot on the throat of opponents. I almost never felt confident a team was done because once we had the momentum or lead, it seemed to always swing. I think that stems from a truth in what MB said way too often that permeated the players, fear. VY was a force, without fear, as was Colt and their leadership propelled the rest of the team despite our HC shitting his pants on the reg. Now back to PSU, I think there a similar problems at the HC with even worse results. Day has clearly overcome his issues and they are stacked. Texas is stacked but I firmly believe part of the issue last year was faith in the offense and particularly the QB from the rest of the team. I don't want to rehash that topic and instead will turn to this year. Arch will provide the sort of faith that VY and Colt inspired on their teams. Further, I think Arch's abilities will let Sark finally go full Sark offensively. It's going to take a minute for our OL to fully gel, but I think our D might actually be better this year which, I know, is a crazy prediction. I have a pretty crazy prediction for this year which is we beat OSU, lose to Florida, obliterate ou sux, struggle against UK then we start hitting on all cylinders and wreck everyone left on the schedule, including Georgia. It's going to be a very tough year for aggie and pig. Will it be enough to win it all... we shall see, but I do a room reservation in Miami. Hence my take that Texas and OSU should be 1 and 2. I don't know why Klatt continues to out faith in PSU or more accurately it's head coach.
  6. @SL Xpress You're welcome and at this point I'm searching not just for you but to confirm whether or not my old man memory is getting worse. Further, while I disagree with some of his takes and disliked him at CU, right now I firmly believe he's the best in the business. He occasionally has what I think is a controversial take, but always backs up his logic even if I find it flawed. He certainly knows a lot more anout the game than me and I like that he does not dumb down his content for mass consumption. It's extremely refreshing in today's sport broadcasting world.
  7. Well, it was on YouTube on Klatt's show and I found the following but I'm putting hold on what I claimed was his take. I might have confused it for his take on Ryan Day. I'm reviewing and will confirm one way or the other and apologize if I remembered incorrectly. In the interim, here is his take post the loss to OSU. Amusingly, he predicts the ND game... accurately.
  8. Hmm.. I see one minor issue that may arrise with a nuclear reactor on the moon. The Nuclear Energy Institute estimates that one nuclear reactor requires between 1,514L and 2,725L litres of water per MWh. It equates to billions of gallons of water per year, and all this water requires filtering somehow. Link from water conservation advocate
  9. Minnesota lost to UNC, Iowa, Michigan, Rutgers and PSU the last of which was the only team they lost to that was ranked end of season. Illinois was the only ranked team they beat last year. They ended at 8-5 with a bowl game win over a 6 win VT. So I could agree they were not bad, but probably not good either. Above average unless we are going to start making the case that 8-5 is good. I'd say the same for Vanderbilt, who I think can probably get to 7 wins again this year. The entire reason they came up was a poster was defending Penn States ranking. I pointed out the struggles PSU had with Bowlimg Green, Minnesota and USC last year. The same poster then used the single Vanderbilt game to compare to Penn State's 3 struggles against mediocre to bad teams. @SL Xpress Compared Franklin to Mack Brown. I think it a very apt comparison. I do disagree with his take on Kotelnicki as I don’t think Kotelnicki is the problem. Rather, given Franklin's propensity to be "Sacred to death" he pulls the offense play calls back from Kotelnicki and goes full Turtle Tom. Joel Klatt had a pretty good coverage of it last year on one of his videos.
  10. I recall shitty police work with an extremely difficult crime scene, which tracks with all of what you wrote. Sadly too typical in investigations, I recall them getting on a specific, incorrect trail and refusing to move away from it.
  11. I'm just gonna drop this here because he's correct. War of the World's is horrific on so many levels.
  12. I am the on with the blinders? Dude, struggling with a hurt QB against Vanderbilt on the road is NOT equal to struggling to Bowling Green at home, a Reilly coached USC AND Minnesota. I'd buy a equal for 8-5 Minnesota to 7-6 Vanderbilt that leaves PSU holding 2 bags one of which is Bowling Green and a super shitty USC. Since you seem math and logic challenged struggling in 3 games against mediocre to shitty opponents is MORE than struggling in one game against a mediocre opponent. Math is so hard. But hey, you do you and think whatever you want about Pedo States potential this year.
  13. God damn right. Don't express or discuss any opinions about the primary subject that isn't in full support of it. This thread is for arguments about the opinions of coaches on where teams are ranked and any other discussion is verboten. Glad to see someone knows how it works here on Surly.
  14. Did you miss the part where they went into OT with a shitty, over ranked Minnesota, struggled against a Reilly coached team and struggled against Bowling Green?
  15. I don't think he's Mensa or Chuckles but... he absolutely isn’t premium.
  16. For the record, I personally hate preseason polls and that they directly effect play off contention. Want to keep polls, release the first ones the first week in Oct. Sure, some of the teams that feast upon sisters of the blind early will get too much love but a lot more shit teams will also be exposed.
  17. We aren't ranked high enough or ranked too high. Doesn't matter where we are, but it's one of the two, always. Texas or OSU should be 1 or 2. Any poll that has it otherwise is just rage baiting or really stupid.
  18. Sadly not a suprise. Worse based on what I am being made aware of crossed with my admittedly limited knowledge of criminal oligarchs, females will end up in sex trade, males "former" soldiers potentially becoming a criminal issue for Ukrainian people.
  19. I know I'm in the extreme minority here, but she isn't getting disappeared. Maxwell is getting released and choosing to disappear.
  20. Worst than Georgia, aggie, pig and Bama?
