    According to my calendar, it’s very early in the season with a lot more games to be played.  Patience, grasshopper.

    How many more years should we give her to get past the Sweet 16?

    They have not had back to back winning seasons in conference games since Bill Clinton was president.  That’s astounding. Haven’t played for a conference title since 1998.  Where they won in a fluke game against a better team

    So, basically, they are the Cowboys. 

    Without all of the history of championships.

    His username is “Alot”, but thank you for the spellcheck, I expect your intentions were honorable. 

    I was taking a dig at his username. Because it bugs me.

    A lot.

    I would consider those intentions to be honorable, in an assholeish way.

    I understand that the spread makes the OSU game a neutral site pick em but can someone explain to me why we aren’t favored in this one?  They are starting a guy with something like 5 plays under his belt behind a suspect OL while facing a Texas front 7 that will be putting him under constant pressure.  Their DL is very similar to what we saw with Michigan last year.  Great starters but not deep.  Sark exhausted that group by the end of the first quarter by forcing them to run sideline to sideline then ran over the backups.  Smith and Downs will have their moments but I don’t see many areas where OSU has an advantage and I’m usually on the nervous/pessimistic side.  What am I missing?

    A chance to make some $$$$?

    Yes, arthroscopic-assisted ACLs are very different, as are rehab protocols now, than what was done a couple of generations ago. Technically, I would call the LCL (lateral collateral ligament) the anterior part of the PLC (postero-lateral corner, not to be confused with the PCL, posterior cruciate ligament). Depending on whether he avulsed (pulled off) or tore mid-substance on his LCL, he might have had different surgeries; with a high-level RB like him, my guess is that he had some graft sewn in there unless it was obviously strictly avulsed. I can't remember with certainty, but I think the early concern was that Baxter had torn PCL, too. Not tearing PCL and not tearing more of the posterior portions of the PLC (eg Popliteus) would take some of my concerns away regarding aggressive early motion in therapy and hence help him be better positioned for a potentially faster and more complete recovery. Once he is this far out, his recovery trajectory is more about how rapidly he can re-train and how well he re-adapts to full go.

    You stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night, didn't you?

    I guess dog chiropractors are a thing. Love that most dogs are like, "the fuck just happened?"

    Which begs the question, how do you know if your dog needs to be adjusted?

     

    That 2nd one was a weird-looking dog.

    Eventually they will get in.  Indiana and Arizona state did.  

    They will have to expand the playoff to the point that 8-4 teams make the cut.
