  1. We all have the public persona and a private persona.  Sometimes I wonder what Sark’s gut feelings are about Manning’s true abilities.  It just appears to me there is a not of uncertainty with making a tough decision particularly perhaps since he loves his Qb guru public persona and doesn’t want to make a rash decision that tarnishes that.

    I don't understand how so many people drown on lakes every boating holiday. Like 5 yesterday in Oklahoma. At least the oceans have currents and riptides, but fucking man made lakes. I think it's Darwinism in action.

    Not really in the original spirit of the thread, but I think they need to do some serious changes to penalties and reviews. They slow everything down and take the excitement out of the game.

    - Intentional grounding needs to be gone. I like the rule, but it's by far the slowest one to implement. I don't know if I've ever seen a grounding call that's called instantly. It's ALWAYS a fucking conference and then they decide to call it. If they can't call it quickly, just get rid of it.

    - Figure out holding or change the rule somehow. There's egregious shit at every level that isn't getting called. Why the hell not? If it's too hard to judge, then change the rule on what's holding until it's plain to see.

    - False starts need to change. It's called now because someone twitches. There's no advantage, it's not a foul worth five yards, and it slows things down. If they move to get a head start, then yeah, call it. If they twitch but then reset, who cares? 

    - I feel like the NFL review system is great. College there are way too many stoppages and reviews take to long. 

    - Scrap/simplify a lot of the rules regarding things like contact (behind the line, one yard, five yards) and ineligible downfield. 

    The game seems like it's getting lawyered to death.

    Good post.  Twitching isn’t called because of an offensive advantage, rather twitching can cause the defensive lineman to move offsides.

    So far, so good.  Anybody who has had the vaccine and side-effects: How long did it take for those to appear?

    I’ve had both shots about three years ago. My arm was a little sore both times but not what I would  call really painful.  That was it.  Nothing symptomatic of other things like flu at all.  Played golf three days in a row after vaccine.

    I'm not even going to think about it until the writing is on the wall for Terry. Mostly I've just wanted to stay away from making a lot of negative posts. I'm a big volleyball fan these days. 

    I'm very curious as to what collegiate athletics looks like in 2 years. I'm not concerned about us. But I am curious what the landscape is going to look like. We'll be at the top of the pyramid in terms of bringing resources to bear, but I feel like there are going to be more and more pressures on the cost of doing business that may start pricing other programs out of the market. 

    And look, for the people who prefer to hope for the best, the season is hardly over. This game is a snapshot. Not a requiem. It dovetails with preconceived notions I have about Terry that goes back to his days as Barnes' assistant, but maybe I end up wrong about the guy after all.

    I just think this is a clear example of someone getting Peter Principled. 

    Still early but it’s looking more and more just like Tech’s hire of assistant Adams following Beard.

    I’d say we are starting to see way more talent infusion into the college ranks across all the teams because the sport is exploding at the junior level, which means we’ll start seeing more programs at the upper echelon that could win it all in any given year. 

    And…more of the taller female athletes are choosing volleyball over basketball than prior years.
