    I don’t trust any of the Carls.

    Carl Reed Jr.'s dad was once Man of the Year at Shermer High.

    He then pursued a career in the Custodial Arts and landed a strategic position at his alma mater in order to become "the eyes and ears of this institution." I think we can trust him.

    Alright, this being Surly, I don't object to this post.

     

    But it does make me want to point out the fact that Dick Tomey had an impact on our upward trajectory in 2004. Sure, Greg Robinson gets a ton of credit but don't forget Tomey's contribution. We started playing tougher, no question about that.

    Which leads to the current topic. This past season's Longhorn team was known to be very tough and physical (per sources on opposing coaching staffs). Who gets credit for this? I hope it wasn't mostly Davis and Choate. If so, I think that's one of the most important elements of replacing our DL coach, perhaps more important than plus recruiting ability. I think the comments on this thread suggest Rod Wright has IT. If memory serves, he was one very large piece of the 4th and 2 stop of LenDale White. If I'm on the DL, I'd listen to Rod Wright.

    Vince didn't have a dad. It impacted his life in many ways. He was a badass on the field and excelled when he had coaches who supported him, encouraged him, and showed him the way. But they didn't manage his money for him.

    Baker similarly seems to have been misguided off the field, but he's had a lot of help on it.

    His surrogate dad/father figure Steve McNair was traded away from the Titans before VY could get there. And he was killed three years later. So his support system crumbled in parallel to his difficulty with "Coach 7-9."

    Man what a precious memory.

     

    So I have a story about this. That evening I saw Ty Allert at Maggie Mae's and he introduced me to his fellow San Diego LB teammate Billy Ray Smith. I was so happy about the game I asked Ty if he saw that final play and Billy Ray started moaning in pain. Of course, I wasn't even thinking about him being a former Razorback. He was very cool about it, seemed like a very nice guy. Fun times.

  5. In his Monday press conference recently, he said he does a post-mortem of the season and that they evaluate everyone on staff starting with himself. I would love to know how fair and complete of a job the evaluation looks and use that as a guide to how we should look at his compensation.
     

    Given his past, I was very concerned when we hired him because of the amount of stress that comes with the UTHFC position. I thought it would be one of the most difficult challenges to his sobriety imaginable. I love that he's been successful and the growth that he's obviously had over the years, including his time on the 40. At this point he does look like our long-term guy. It's so damn nice to have this feeling again.

    He probably works for a dollar per year. 

    Exactly what I was thinking. Only way I could get on board with him in that role with us would be to have a ceremony out on the field each time he lands a big fish (or beats aggy in a H2H recruiting fight) where we hand him a giant check from the 12th Man Foundation, without whom none of this would be possible.

    My first year playing tackle football was in 6th grade. City league stuff. The head coach would go into these bizarre tirades at practice about his "system" on offense. These were like 10 minute rants at 10-12 year olds in 5th and 6th grade. I remember just looking around at everyone on a knee while this fat, moustachioed lunatic yelled at the top of his voice above us with his whistle swinging violently around while he jumped in kids' faces.

    The subject matter? Each of his plays was designed to go for 6. Each and every one of his beautifully designed plays should be a touchdown play if the fucking idiots on the field could execute on it. I always think about those moments when I read or hear stories of coaches with their beautiful systems being player agnostic. All of them are full of shit. 

    That dude's day job was a backhoe driver for a construction crew. We scored once that entire season on a toss sweep that I took to the house for 80 yards after getting hit in the backfield. We went 0-6 and the closest loss was 24-0. 

    Hell, Arthur Smith is the spitting image of that imbecile. As a general rule, if you're not a fictional soccer coach, a coach with a moustache cannot be trusted to be successful. Of course there are exceptions, but a good rule nonetheless.

    That man's name was Mark Mangino.

    Nwankwo is a load, he'll challenge the worst part of our offense attacking the IOL. That said, there's nothing else.

    Fuck it, let him through!

    BTW, for anyone familiar with TDECU, are the SRO tix worth getting?

    Which B1G school has the most STDs? Start there

    Quote

    Rutgers students are the second most sexually active college students in the United States, according to a study conducted by collegestats.org.

    Collegestats.org is a website that uses data collected from United States Department of Education to provide prospective students information about the schools they are applying to, including national ranking, ranking for individual degree programs and ranking for affordability. 

    Rutgers' position as the second most sexually active campus was determined by DrEd.com, a free medical counseling website, used by collegestat.org to help students track their sexual exposure. The website ranked Temple University as the most sexually active campus, with Texas A&M coming in third behind Rutgers. 

    The University is well above the national average in terms of student sexual exposure. The study averages that Rutgers students will have around 10 sexual partners during their four years at the University, well above the national average of five. The study used an algorithm to calculate the sexual exposure of 2,000 former and current college students that were surveyed.

    Rutgers has long had a reputation for its sexual proclivity, earning the nickname “Slutgers." But, according to Rutgers Health Outreach, Promotion and Education (H.O.P.E.) the rumors are not valid. 

    Research indicates the rumors of the “Rut” — a fictional STI presumed to originate at Rutgers — began in the early 1990s, when a study found that of a non-random sample of students that represented 3 percent of the female student population, 26 percent of the participants were infected with the HPV virus and an additional 43 percent became infected over the next three years. 

    Scarlet Knights gettin' it!

    Priest Holmes

    It's funny you mention him. When I read the post by Codaxx about Brooks being untouched and crediting the OL...well, as a former OL myself I approve. But I saw at least a few plays yesterday when Brooks showed patience and let the OL get some movement to allow Brooks to "make himself skinny" and get through a developing hole. It's RBs to figure this out, so they make bad cutback decisions or plow into the mob and get very little. When the light came on for Priest, he performed much better getting through tight spaces and he went from good to great.

  11. Given that someone upthread asked about her daughter, and given the recent divorce development, I took it upon myself to check the Twitter feed of Claudia Conway. Somehow I had missed this gem from last summer:

    your smartass-ness aside, while she's there for life (or as long as she wants), there are things that can be done to put her in the corner.  the chief administrative judge for that district can give her some really shitty assignments.  s/he can pull her off the normal case assignment wheel/rotation and make her the exclusive admiralty judge for that division or the assign her all the ERISA cases that are filed to get her off a normal Art III docket.

    i've seen that happen with older judges who've lost their edge to shitty judges who'd continually manage to fuck up a shovel handle to amoral predators like Sam Kent.

    there's always a remedy to a problem in federal jurisprudence...

    oh shit I forgot you used to live here in Galveston, didn't you? I haven't heard that jackhole Kent's name in a minute but what a pompous ass he is.
