  1. Vandy's DL graded as best in the country in Week 4. You can either believe the Vandy DL is that dominant...or the A&M OL is bad enough to make the Vandy DL look like the best DL in the nation. (interesting to see Iowa St graded as 4th, having played TCU)
  2. That's not the situation.
  3. you don't have to worry about QB1 on that front. Yurcich was in Lubbock.

    Alfred Collins

    i thought that at first too, but watch the All-22 angle. Ossai gets held and doesn't interact with the RB at all. It is a weird camera angle that makes it look that way.
  5. I don't know anything not public about why Brock didn't dress. I just remember seeing this tweet before the game.
  6. the tickets I had were for a specific seat and section.
  7. Brockermeyer did not dress on Saturday.
  8. I thought of that and have screen shots. The problem is the TexasSports website specifically says screenshots are not a valid means of entrance. If I can't get it into the wallet, I have to figure out if I want to drive up to the stadium, park (I do have the parking pass), and risk getting turned away. I really, really want to go to the game, but I really, really do not want to go through all that and then have to head home and potentially miss a chunk of the game. I get the need for e-tickets and realize nobody likes the situation we are in and I'm grateful to even have football, but hot damn it sucks to have such a crappy app and website with so little support.
  9. anyone having trouble with the app? My friend is trying to transfer tickets to me, but the app won't link to the TexasSports account. I've tried logging in under both of our accounts and it just won't work. I've followed the mobile headquarters instructions on TexasSports.com. We've worked on this for over an hour now and my rage is building. Thought I'd at least toss it out there and see if anyone else has run into something similar.
  10. One of the professors developed a spit test that they've been using for about a month or so. They can link the test to the student ID. I'm guessing they are using this for the students. It is a great resource to have.
  11. JoJo Earle - Aledo Bearcats
  12. transferred to SMU.
  13. usually 70, though the Big 10 raised theirs to 74 in 2018 after the new redshirt rule.
  14. His mom is a NP.
  15. I'm no Carl, but I'm no fuccboi either. I'm just fortunate to know some things every now and then.
  16. thoughts on Gabe Watson? RB transfer from D2 Sioux Falls. I hear he is on campus. https://www.dakotanewsnow.com/content/sports/Healthy-Gabe-Watson-Likely-To-Be-On-NFL-Draft-Radars-Next-Year-569966181.html
  17. The commitment: The edit:
  18. They travel on Friday afternoons. They do family Friday in the late morning. It's usually a pretty lean schedule, unless the game is a night game (then there is a bunch of dead time Saturday morning/early afternoon). They usually arrive at the hotel, pick up their keys, meet for dinner then have downtime optional stuff like team movie. They get up on Saturday and eat breakfast, have the walk through in the hotel ball room (or parking lot, if the hotel is smaller), and then off their feet until the bus loads to go to the stadium. They fly/ride back right after the game, even if it means getting back to Austin at a ridiculous hour. they're about to start testing 2x/week with a 24 hour turnaround time for results, and contact tracing/quarantine for any positives. I'm not sure that travel represents a bigger risk than being in Austin. The team is certainly more confined on the road, with fewer exposures to those outside the controlled, tested, travel party.
  19. wow, what a brutal read. I knew the outlines of the story, but had never read the blow by blow. I got to meet McCombs a few times, and went to the wedding (my wife is friends with the bride). I'm glad I hadn't read this article before then, because there is no way I would have stayed composed. I smiled extra when I saw the birth announcement a week or so ago. You wish any new family well, but man, if anyone deserves happiness the rest of their life, it is him. Every time I start to imagine what that must have been like my mind just shuts down.
  20. This is true. My wife had it up and running i the same room where I was working (it started at 3:30) and I overheard large chunks of it. Yurcich did a film breakdown of the inside zone and RPO concepts. He's very high energy and passionate and seems to really have a natural bend toward teaching. My favorite part of the entire thing was when Yurcich went on a rant on how a route is something a single WR does and a pattern is when multiple WRs on the same side run complimentary routes, and how tv announcers are constantly using route and pattern interchangeably. It just came out of nowhere. Ash spent the first several minutes of his presentation making fun of Yurcich for being boring and for drawing like a 5 year old, and Herman chimed in that saying so was an insult to 5 year olds. Ash did a talk on rugby style tackling. There was a look at recruiting/hosting recruits and a sports med presentation. Yancy got on and talked about strength and conditioning (Shackelford was in the background doing a workout). Somehow it came out that Herman had been doing P90X with Michelle during the quarantine, and Yancy and the other guys kept making fun of him for it. All in all it seemed like a fun time for everyone involved.
  21. I had no idea that Krause was a freaking baseball scout who successfully lobbied Reinsdorf for the NBA GM job. Can you imagine that today? A freaking baseball scout going to be the GM of an NBA team. I love how in the doc Reinsdorf says he ran it by basketball guys in the league and everyone said it was a bad idea, but Reinsdorf didn't care because he wanted someone to build a team his way. I realize that Krause did make good moves and was fairly successful at the basketball talent identification part of the job, but holy hell what a terrible decision making process that somehow turned out sort of ok.
