  1. Your avatar reflects you very well. What would it take for Prime to appeal to an NFL owner? Suppose - magic, I know, but just suppose - he could pick up those couple of games that last year they should have won but didn't, to go with the couple they shouldn't have won but did. So they get to 7-5 or so (magically, right?). Would that be enough for some moron NFL to put him on that next level? I really, really doubt it - just like most surly folk, but if it happened, who'd be dumb enough to take a shit -- oooh, froodean, I mean a shot -- at him? Is there an owner that dumb?
  2. I'm going with 10-2 +/- 2. Could be as bad as 8-4 (highly doubtful) and as good as 12-0 (highly likely). I definitely see 12-0 as probable and 8-4 as not, really. Maybe I should go with 11-1 +/-1, so 10-2 downside, 12-0 up. We have a lot of good elements around and in the football program: high quality players, coaches, staff, infrastructure both material and psychological... so much that looks far better than we have had for so long. Last year was close, but no cigar. The possible single loss still lurks there, depends more on D than on O, I think. Gonna be a fun one.
  3. Prime movin' on. HC in NFL, whoever desperate enough come Jan '25. Take his boys in the Draft, pick up the right free agents, and Boom! Super Bowl Surprise! Surly said it, right here, right now.
  4. If you can't say "fuck", you can't say "Fuck this shit!"
  5. MMmmmmmm... Since "trivia" literally means "three-ways", I might have to allow it, in the context.
  6. Compare rookie check to NIL? Compare 4-year for this draft to 4-year for next ... IF he gets bigger, better blocking, better testing, and catches that do-or-die TD or sells the interference call. All things considered, I'd say it's a toss-up and the bird in the hand is as good a reason to go to the draft. Good decision or bad decsion? Remains to be seen.
  7. I am particularly pleased with the 2-blade prop. Proof aggy involved.
  8. Same thing with text: highlight it, right click, get google lookup window of highlighted word, phrase, name, etc.
  9. This thread needs to be hidden, stat. If it gets out, the internet is toast. Prolly needs more security than IPIHB.
  10. I believe The Pirate said you can't teach accuracy. No?

    Getting old sucks

    One I've found particularly helpful is to take a baseball or softball (maybe a billiard ball - you do have a pool table in your man cave, right?), lay it on the desk. put your calf on the ball, and move it around until you find a sore spot. Once you've got that, press as hard as comfortable, and roll the ball. Check for other sore spots and repeat. This came from a massage therapist who said he used it for runners quite effectively. Works for me.
  12. DL looks okay, LB not bad. DBs... not so much. I think I saw Joseph is a plus recruiter. What does Gideon bring?
