    this is stupid talk.  you should be ashamed.

    when i think of people like hernandez i remember the story of deacon jim miller, the wild west era murder-for-hire monster.  i bet his brain was a disaster like herndandez'.  in his case i suspect maybe a horse kicked him as a small child or maybe had a bad fall.  by the time he was eight he had murdered two of his grandparents for pissing him off.  there was clearly something seriously wrong with him, but, like hernandez, sub-human lifeforms found him useful and kept him in business.  only for miller, it was directly his madness that was useful, not something like blocking and catching passes.  miller was cold and professional.  no even matches for him.  blowing his mark off a horse from behind with a shotgun was his trademark.  we all grew up hearing of jesse james and the daltons and such.  we never heard about deacon jim miller because he was so despicable.  and so useful to the wealthy ranchers who kept him out of prison and away from hangman's nooses.

    all of you who say aaron hernandez should have waked up some morning and said, "hey, you know, i really shouldn't be killing people," step into the nearest restroom and look into the mirror.  point at yourself and say stupid.  'cause that's what you are.

    It's pretty clear you have no case when you start out by employing personal attacks and caricature.  A lot of word to deny the obvious.  Humans make moral choices.  So did Hernandez cease to be human because he was molested?  And why does that not apply to the millions of victims out there?

    Toeneil hasn't developed because he puts the ball on the field constantly.  It helped cost us a games last year and he's did it throughout spring practice.

    They are also trying to spread out carries with Ingram injured so he's fresh down the stretch and doesn't hit the Freshman wall.

    Yep.  I saw an interview with Herman where he stated that the staff requires 2 things from their skill players: 1) BALL SECURITY and 2) total, fanatical effort.  He said that they can teach the rest.

    Fuck you.  What a simplistic sorry fuck of a human  being you are.   If you do not see the way abuse takes "choice" away from kids who are literally molded as personalities  by the abuse, then you are too stupid to express an opinion.     According to the article, Hernandez had brain trauma that was so bad it could not even be explained by playing football.   A lifetime of getting the shit beaten out of you as a kid does explain it however.    So you are telling him to "just man up and power through that organic brain damage."  

    Hernandez was a broken, despicable human being.  But the "why" and "how" of it is far too complex a story for some simplistic fuck-wit "I dismissed it" opinion.    

    Millions of people were molested as children.  All but a handful choose not to become murderers.  The abuse makes their life more difficult.  It does not remove their ability to make choices.

    Yeah, he’s reset the clock in his head. If Shane gets to that point, it should make the next game he plays in less painful.

    Exactly.  The one sack he took against Baylor was because he bailed out of the pocket straight backwards while he still had protection.

    Genuinely concerned this week.  Just feels like one of these weeks the close game won’t go our way.  I’ll probably feel this way the next 4 games, unless we start playing 4 quarters of good football every game. 

    Tom Herman teams traditionally struggle against bye.  A lot of times they don't even show up.

    So far they've missed a backward lateral in baylors favor. Missed a running into the punter (no first down) in baylors favor. Then called offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct after the baylor WR punched Gary Johnson in the Helmet. 

    Remind me again why we stay in this shitty conference with pathetic rape-cover-up schools like Baylor?

    The WR was Hurd and the offsetting penalties were total BS.  Boyd brings him down with a tackle that would have been a nice single leg takedown.  Punk ass Hurd gets up and throws a knee to the head of Boyd while he's still laying on the turf.  That crap is illegal in the UFC.  That's when Gary Johnson steps in.  Punk Hurd punches Johnson to the head and all Johnson does is deflect the arm.  No call for a penalty on Texas at all.  Either one of those punk moves by Hurd would be grounds for ejection, much less 5 seconds apart on the same play.

    Umm, no he isn't. 

    Exactly.  Watt aligns outside on a 3 man DL.  Some teams list that guy as a DT (typically calling the guy in the middle a NG instead of a NT also).  Texas has that position as DE but the responsibilities and alignment are similar. if not the same.

    Hand is earning his $$$ this season and I hope we keep him for many years 

    Indeed.  One of the less heralded but critical areas of improvement is pass pro.  So far this year the OL is giving up a sack about 4% of the time.  246 pass attempts plus however many drop backs turn in scrambles which have resulted in only 10 sacks.  And that's after facing K-State and TCU.  Last year Texas gave up 34 sacks on 499 pass attempts, a sack ratio of 7%.  Yes Sam is doing better throwing the ball away when there's nothing but we are also seeing more deep shots in the passing game.

    Urban Meyer is a demonstrated unethical asshole who is paid $7.6M a year to win football games at any cost and he will put Bosa on the field ASAP to achieve his goals, regardless of whether it's good for Bosa's future.

    Did your daddy teach you about that?

    Urban is definitely from the Bob Stoops "rub some dirt on it" school" of recovery.

    one thing that always boggles my mind is that if you start with the final play of the 1st half of the OK State game through the Baylor game til halftime of the KU game, Texas scored 152 unanswered points (38, 62, 52).    Not to mention another 56 unanswered  point run against Colorado in a 19 minute stretch of the 2nd and 3rd quarters...Texas had 70 with over half of the 3rd quarter remaining

    Yeah.  But other than that CU dominated the game.

    I watched every snap from every game that season and it was pure ecstasy. Greatest team in college football history.

    Did you forget that USC was the greatest team in CFB history that year?  It was so bad that we even had threads about USC vs the greatest armies in history that season.  Watching the Longhorns take them down was fantastic.

    you skipped the 'access to recruits' part...

    If you think convincing a parent that Lubbock ain't practically on another planet when they visit, you've probably never left the Caprock before...

    Correct.  I'm thinking of programs like UCLA, Colorado, the other UT, aggy.  It would actually be hilarious to see what would happen after a few years if he went back to UK.

    1.  Large organizations are risk averse

    2.  Core competency is taking dogshit programs and building them into respectable hover around the bottom half of the Top 25 programs

    3.  Big time college football teams don't seem themselves as needing a coach with that particular core competency

    4.  Large organizations are risk averse

     

    Pirate is entertaining as hell, and not saying it is right but most big time programs don't want what they think could be a bit of a loose cannon at their helm

    Leach was a huge factor in Bob Stoops winning his only MNC.

    If you consistently hang around the #15-20 area, you're going to break into the top 10 at times.  That's historic high territory for the kind of programs that have given Leach a shot. 

    I'd like to see what he could do at a school that's regularly north of .500 in a Power 5 conference historically and access to recruits.

    I would take OSU by 2 scores over the Tigers.

    To me it is them and Bama and then everyone else.

    While Bama has shown a decline in their run defense, it's nothing compared to the problems that the Buckeyes are having defending the run.  Oregon St ran for 196 yards on them.  Minnesota hit 178 yards and TCU over 200 along with Pedo State.  The only thing masking the weakness here is that they shut down Tulane, Indiana and Rutgers on the ground.

    Alabama looks like a clear #1 with a bunch of badly flawed teams chasing them.

    I hate our delay of game penalties on first play of first drive situations. I might be in the minority but I do think a injury time out should be extended to get a QB ready to go in. Its one thing to have a LB backup ready to go but QBs are usually helmet off, headset on, cold,  and not repped with a center to go in and not expect a mess at the start. 

    It's the like the difference between a pinch runner and a pitching change.

  16. The Baylor game really highlighted how much Charlie Strong left us screwed in the 2 most important offensive units: QB and OL.  This OL is good enough to move 95% of FBS DL when the defense is forced to read and react as they have to do when Sam is at QB.  But when the DL can penetrate aggressively and key the RB first, then the QB it's a whole different ballgame.  Same story when the LBs reads are simplified by taking the QB out of the running game. 

    That's what happened in the Maryland game when Beck or the Committee took Sam out of the game by scheme.  He had almost no keeps from the zone read look until late in the game so the LBs could just attack downhill against the RB.  Similar result when injury does the same thing against Baylor.

    I remember ending up at a house party the night before our game there in '07.  There was a hot tub in the house, and every girl in the hot tub had guts that hung out past their tits.  I mean another 6-7 beers and I probably wouldn't have batted an eye, but that was right about the time the kid who was getting in the Herby Husker suit the next day puked into the hot tub, and the stampede of screaming, nearly naked fat chicks was on.

    The ratio has improved since my time (graduated in '07 and left town in '08) as the university has added 10k students.  The quality has gone up, too.  But the only college town I've ever thought had a lot of ugly chicks was Lincoln.

    A buddy from Nebraska always used to say that his college motto was "don't be afraid to go big early."

    I'll make sure to inspect each aspect of her enterprise, starting with the highest levels of materiality first.  I'll mark her to market and realize the impacts all over my statement of owner's equity.  Not sure if I should be considering my relationship with her a going concern.

    I bow to your superior CPA mastery.  The GAAP Fu is strong with this one.

    And this is where I disagree, I think it's the other way round. S&P+ has their offense at 22 overall, but their defense is an abysmal 107 ( again, the linebackers for them are walk on quality ). The UT defense hasn't shown me anything this year to make me think Baylor is going to be held under the mid~20s. For this to be a 2 TD+ spanking, Texas is gonna need to get into the 40s. I think they can pretty easily do that, and that's most likely what will happen! 

    Baylor's offense can look impressive when it executes but often it fails to execute.  4 INTs is not bad 6 games into the season but they get sacked and cough up the ball frequently.  They've just been fortunate to get so many of them back.  Also they commit a lot of penalties.
