  1. RB coach is supposed to be a stud recruiter because running the ball is athleticism and instincts which aren't coached.  If he can't recruit, then he's useless.  I don't follow recruiting enough to know his prowess in that arena, but it's not as simple as saying he hasn't signed a RB yet.  He damn sure better have more recruiting responsibilities than recruiting one player a year.

    To each his own I guess. I was raised differently.  Stay in school, honor your commitment , rehab, train and be a good teammate. But then again I’m not a first round pick. 

    Seems like they wasted their time teaching you that stuff since it's in no way applicable to you.

    They beat #7 Auburn last year in the Peach Bowl. Calling Auburn demoralized is a cop out. Beating Florida in a bowl made Charlie Strong's career.

    Bowl games only mean something when they feature a coach we could potentially hire.

    That’s all I needed to know. 

    That’s not realistic. You know that. In fact there’s only been one team in FBS history since the Division 1 split in the late 1970s that voluntarily moved down, and that was Idaho this past year. There’s more to consider than just winning national titles when it comes to the classification question.

    Is it even an option?  I mean they have one of the largest enrollments of all DI universities, so I would think moving down isn't even an option.

    I doubt it's going to be an issue. Memphis is terrible and UCF barely got past them.  They'll stumble somewhere along the way.  And if they don't make it?  Too bad.  I don't see it as bad for the sport.  In fact, it would be a hell of a lot better if we DID split FBS into two divisions IMO.  There's no need for 120 'major' college teams.  We have plenty of upsets and excitement when the 'also rans' in the P5 step up once in a while.  Hell, maybe we'd see it more often if you didn't have teams from the G5 taking talent away from those teams.

    And if it comes down to us or them?  Fuck 'em!  We're Texas.

     

    And anyone wringing their hands over how this 'delegitimizes' the CFP or college football in general, take a look at your history.  There were plenty of years where some non-power conference team went undefeated and never got a shot at #1.  The only difference now is that you can see those teams on TV and SportsCenter.  

    The system has never been legitimate, so there is no worry about it being delegitimized.   

  6. I am guessing this one will be better acted.  Outside of Gwynne I wasn't impressed with the original.  I like Jason Clarke, but Lithgow will fall well short of Fred Gwynne as Jud.  Gwynne's voice saying "sometimes dead is better" still gives me the heebee jeebees.  He pretty much made that movie which kind of has a TV movie vibe to it.

    How nice of Nike to use this kid with special needs to trick people into thinking they're a progressive entity that gives a shit about important issues to sell more shoes. 

    It's just a coincidence that they are simultaneously profiting off this.

  8. Can I just pick up this game and go, or is some backstory knowledge required or beneficial?  I played the first 2 a long time ago in my younger years, but pretty much quit gaming when I had kids.  Now I've been playing more single player games.  I've given up on online gaming because I suck and don't have the time or energy to get better.

    I really enjoy the first one.  Fred Gwynne as Jud Crandall was fantastic.  Also Church and Gage were well cast.

    I have read the book about four times over the span of about 30 years.  Like most King works, it has a different impact depending on when you read it.  Most recently, I saw it as a discourse on grief.

    You thought the cat was well cast?  That just sounds funny

    I did.  My main point is, Dak needs to run more.  The zone read will help alleviate the stress on the run and pass game and he's more than capable of running it effectively. 

    Agree with that for sure.  I don't know if he can take the punishment of Cam, but he simply can't cut it as a passer without the defense accounting for his legs.

    Differnce is that OU wasn’t getting beat by calling bad blitzes with poor gap coverages. They were getting beat by going right at them as they weren’t physical or smart at all.

    thats a sign that it is much more than coaching. 

    I know hindsight and all but is that really the difference?  I remember plenty of our players accused of being soft with Diaz as the DC.

  12. It wasn't an overnight fix, but our shitty Diaz coached defense was night and day different from the later Robinson coached defense.  I think the locker room turmoil is wishful thinking.  They'll likely improve if the next guy can coach, so hopefully they'll add another L before then.  Their offense is elite, and it's basically going to take 50 points to beat them.

    Rex Grossman has taken a team to the super bowl.  Not sure that anoints Cam to legend status.  Especially because he got spanked in that game and didn't log a single TD.

    Dak was rookie of the year, just like Cam.  Cam's obviously had more time in the league, but Dak has the ability to be just as good.  While Cam may be bigger stronger faster, Dak has a higher completion percentage so I'd argue he's more accurate. 

    Cam regressed after his rookie season too.  They brought in a new offensive coaching staff to simplify the offense, complete with zone reads and uptempo.

    Where is the Dak friendly offense we were told about?

     

     

    Did you skip over the first half of the first sentence?  Do you want to list me all the shitty players that have been MVP in an effort to claim that spares accomplish that as well.
