    Is it personnel or scheme?

    Gotta be scheme, yes?  Seems as if you can coach defense easier than offense.  At least as far as talent goes.  An untalented team can still be in the right spot and/or hustle on D.

  2. Yep.  I've now watched two NF games just to see Reynas debut, only to be disappointed.  I figured being up a goal, West Ham down a player in the 75th, ball controlling midfielder = win.  I guess not.

    At least he should get a lot of playing time for them...

    Um, yeah.  About that...

    • Oct. 19: Alabama at Tennessee - 50/50
    • Nov. 2: Kentucky at Tennessee - WIN
    • Nov. 9: Mississippi State at Tennessee - WIN

  5. I've had many a sports injury - 2 ACLs, 2 broken ribs, dislocated foot/ankle, broken wrist, dislocated shoulder twice, herniated disc in my back a couple of times.  I think it's perfectly ok to get doped up for a few days when recovering.  It's 2024.  I want to think most doctors will understand the length of time a painkiller is needed, then cut it off after that point.  I state this because in Knoxville, I had a doc that would - quite literally - just fill prescrips left and right as needed.  I seem to recall his degree was from Guadalajara or somesuch.  Luckily for me, I don't have an addictive personality or genetic disposition for such, so I could easily walk away.  I can see how those with that kind of disposition can get easily addicted.  Anything over 2 weeks, IMO, needs remediation.

    Was fun back then to go down to St. Ed’s and watch training camp a few times. 

    Yes sir.  A female friend and I were looking for an apartment one year.  Long story short, she had the cash and credit score, so she got more of the say-so.  One of the spots we looked at was a block from the field.  I damn near resorted to begging her to pick this spot. I did get a cool pic one time of Troy, Aikman, and Irvin standing side-by-side from about 5 feet back once.  I need to see if I can find that.

    This has nothin to do with nothin, but I went back and was watching that hail mary game above.  Didn't know Staubach hit Pearson on the play before that on a 4th and 17 just to get in that position.  And Pearson actually landed out of bounds, but then the rules were if the ref thought you would reasonably land in before defensive contact, they would call it a completion. 

    Lol.  I brought this play up to Carl Eller once on a business trip.  He's still pissed about it.  Said Pearson interfered.  I argued for a second before I realized he was about to beat my ass.

  8. Does 8-10, 19-13 get us in assuming we win out at home, lose out on the road, and lose a 1st round game in the Big 12 tourney?  I just realized that the top 10 teams make the Big 12 tourney.  I'm perfectly fine to be corrected, but I feel like that would make the decision somewhat easy on the NCAA.  Take the teams that make the tourney unless the 9th or 10th seed loses badly in the 1st game.  I believe 7 plays 10 and 8 plays 9.
