  1. I get what she's trying to say but she's leaving out the fact that Freeze, Petrino, and Price were all fired after their conduct came to light.
    Additionally, Moore allegedly went and threatened to off his lover and himself. If he doesn't beat the rap then he'll be in prison and it's hard to hire a guy in the slammer.

    PM Burt Reynolds and Adam Sandler

  2. New company idea: 
    Surly Night Crew gets contracted to infiltrate other boards during coaching searches and drives hype for the fan base. 
    Services include:
    Flight Tracking 
    Hotel Room drape identification 
    Mcrib locator 
    Chicken fried steak rankings 
    Fisting bets
    One (1) human female 

    Don’t forget the glizzy (I’m too old to know what that means)

  3. What a story. Sherrod concurrently messed up his marriage, job and sidepiece relationship, and ended up in jail. He appears to have given himself no route for a fast recovery, a la Chris Beard. Sherrod's day is definitely worse if you're trying to compare.

    Tragic. Especially for his family and kids.

    Don’t fuck your subordinates even in the lowest rung, low profile job.

    He wasn’t hiding it so he didn’t give a fuck .

  4. The world is funny.  People are hyper critical of Sark for OTA style spring practice and not enough full contact stuff while falling over how great a coach Cig is at Indiana.
    Indiana does hardly any full contact practices and only practices about 6 hours a week.  My high school football team practiced more then that. Its fairly hilarious.
     

    I would say this works better for more mature, experienced teams. Younger, raw talent needs all the reps and practice they can get.

  5. Yeah, the only player that comes to mind just happens to be a beyond generational freak, Adrian Peterson. I mean, let's forget just playing normal again. This mf'er tore both his ACL AND MCL in December of 2011, only to come back in 2012 and rush for not only 2k (2,097) but damn near broke Eric Dickerson's record (2,105). Dude was 8 yards short of tying and 9 from taking it. Everyone knows he's a legend. We don't need his stats. Lock for the HOF. 15 seasons in the NFL. 
    The other player I just thought of is Frank Gore, who coming out of HS was actually considered AP before AP. He was another generational freak. He was an absolute force to be reckoned with. Dude tore his ACL TWICE before coming to the NFL and being a beast. He still made All-Pro once and the Pro Bowl five times. Is almost certainly a lock for the HOF. 16 seasons in the NFL. 
    Willis McGahee in the NC game against fOSU. Tore his MCL/PCL. Still made two pro bowls. Though he won't be making the HOF, he still had a very productive career. One of only a few players to ever rush for 1k yards for three different teams. 10 seasons in the NFL. 
    That's it. 
    Looking up the percentage of how many players, running back in particular can come back the same, and it's staggeringly low (18.5%-30%), but to come back better?  Its so low they don't even have a percentage, so my guess is around 1%-5%, and that's just the NFL. Not even college, but the highest level athlete you can be. 
    I just read that Thurman Thomas tore his ACL in college and never had it repaired, only to go on to the NFL HOF. That's fucking wild. That's some Bo Jackson-tyoe legendary shit. 
    So yeah, it's probably not going to happen for Baxter. Those three guys that I named above are freaks; AP and Gore in particular. Good luck to the young man, and thank you for coming to Texas. 

    Luckily we have medical advances from 20-40 years ago. It’s more mental than anything.
  6. Spoken like a true moron. 
    Risk has to have an adequate level of reward to make it worth taking. Risk without a positive reward to consequence ratio is how stupid people go through life. 
    There's no reward to big timing some other non playoff team in a meaningless exhibition. There is reward to getting all of your freshmen and young players you want to contribute next season a ton of snaps in a meaningless game. 

    They’ll probably have a snap count.
