  1. A ref almost died in the Celina-Melissa game. No joking. With 3:17 left in the game, he collapsed post-play and the trainers performed CPR. They brought out the AED paddles and shocked him back to life.

    No ambulance was at the game, because it was called out earlier for a wreck. The ambulance didn’t arrive for 20 minutes. They transported him to a heart center, and he was doing well at midnight last night.

  2. Not sure if it will happen, or when it will happen, but Dan spent Friday night in the booth with me at the Celina game.  We had a great time, joked around some, got some very, very high praise from him, and I think he has a recording of me singing that may make the air.  Quality dude, and I think that every time that I meet him.

  3. At halftime...
    France 12 - 6 USA
    I'm sure that we'll come back in the second half.


    In the end, it was better. Way too many line outs lost. It just killed us. Macginty was not very good. We struggled on kick catch all night.

    My biggest beef with this team is the constant kicking away of possession. Tackle 30 times, get turnover, kick away possession, make 30 tackles, rinse repeat.

    I absolutely love Greg McWilliams (US attack coach), and I have a lot of respect for Gary Gold, but if our attack plan is to consistently give the other team the ball, I’m out. We aren’t good enough in our set piece to win a game like that.

    that loss to wales fucks australia’s shit up.  now they’ll have to see england in QF and the kiwis in the semis.

    Yeah, that's a bloodbath.  I'm still not sure why Cheika put so many "old boys" out there.

  5. japan beat ireland.  nuts. 


    It is. I like that you have to squad rotate due to the condensed schedule. It opens up more possibilities for upsets like this. Japan may not win if Sexton is out there the whole match.

    Australia/Wales was very entertaining.

    Scotland has a must win against Samoa now.
  6. Nah, I appreciated that. And obviously Herman thinks Smith is quick and fast enough to make people miss in space. Otherwise, he wouldn't be on punt return. But, when we run a screen or a slant, I feel more confident in Duvernay breaking it for a big gain. Look, I realize and am happy that Smith is going to start for the next few years. I'm not confident that he is better than Duvernay and will provide the home run threat that Herman wants out of the position. Either way, if he goes down, we will need a replacement. And speed kills so I would look for someone in this upcoming class to fill that role and I don't think LVBS is the one.


    Jake Smith’s longest reception this year is longer than any Duvernay has had this year and the two previous. Plus, Smith has more yards per catch. You are being obtuse.

  7. england, wales, ireland, scotland, france, south africa, australia, kiwis, argentina... 
    I admire your optimism but I don’t see top 8.


    In my opinion, Scotland is down more with Italy. I think they are closer to Italy than England. Argentina is a cut above Scotland. France is up-and-down, capable of winning or losing any game.
  8. Some matches are on NBCSN (including Australia v Fiji that kicks off in 30 minutes). It’s part of my ATT Uverse lineup. Lot of young players for the Eagles.  And they got a tough pod.  Other than Tonga, not sure I see a win though. England Thursday will be a big test. I think England has a good shot at winning it all. 


    The new MLR has improved the quality of US players at the international players. In addition, we are starting to see the first players come through from EIRA, an age-based quasi national team for U14 through U18. Two players on this year’s squad were in their first international tour. Many, many more will be coming through. My son was on the U16 tour to Ireland this year that played Munster, Connacht, and Ulster.

    Should be a top 8 country in about 5 years.

  9. What I really like about PG is that they're about the only Wing T/ Slot T team that can actually throw the ball.  Navarro fans are really annoying because they'll get ahead of a team by 40 and then try out a few pass plays with no pressure against bad teams,  so that by the end of the year the QB has nice passing numbers and the fans say, "No we can pass -- look at his completion percentage!"  And then of course, they run into Cuero or WOS in the playoffs and they get behind and they have to pass, and they can't pass worth shit.  
     
    PG basically won state against WOS because of their passing. 



    Another thing about their offense is their “sugar huddle” about three yards off the ball. They quickly turn, lineup, and start the play. They should probably draw more penalties than they do, because sometimes the motion man is going in motion while others are getting set. However, it’s rarely called.

  10. Duv is built like a RB.  Might need to give him carries out of the backfield.  Him or Jake smith.  No point in making a LB in Gbenda take snaps.  Smith is fucking good out of the backfield and played lot of RB in high school.


    Duv did as well.

    I remember when he was interviewing for a residency spot. Looks like he ended up at aggy/TempleS&W and stayed on afterward as faculty.

    If there is one thing that Grey's Anatomy has taught me, Brett Robin is absolutely cleaning up with the talent at the hospital.  Everyone screws everyone in those places.
