  1. that and they don’t actually want to be efficient. The race promoters don’t want two GPs that are close in proximity back to back.
  2. It’s understandable to not want either, but one of the guys is one of the winningest coaches ever in CBB, while the other has no business even sniffing an interview based on his career accomplishments. They’re not even close to the same tier of candidates. If Terry weren’t the interim HC this year and he was on the short list to be the next HC, every single person in this thread would be losing their shit over him even being considered for the job. He’d be like hiring Skip Holtz for football.
  3. Yeah, late teens to twenties seems likely IMO. I think Saquon being healthy and being the only legit weapon for the Giants this year will help him too. He reminds me a lot of Saquon without the long speed but better vision inside. I doubt he runs the 40, but it would be really interesting to see his time. He’ll absolutely kill the shuttle and 3 cone if he does them.
  4. I’ll be shocked if he falls that far. It seems like draftniks are usually more extreme about positional value than teams, or at least there are always a few teams that will still take a RB high, even if the league generally is moving away from that.
  5. It would’ve been nice to get a quality WR, but it’s always going to be a challenge to get a WR (or any transfer player) to come here without a guaranteed starting spot. We have Neyor, Jwhitt and Worthy as our starters next year. Singer’s about the only guy I can think of who might be able to crack that top 3, and it wouldn’t be a guarantee for him. Like you said, having Cook, Moore, and Niblett as freshman will help a lot. Cook is ready to play and Moore and Niblett are way closer to playing than Brenen Thompson was last year. Thompson was highly rated, but he was super raw.
  6. Because they’re obvious names for 995ers to throw out when they don’t have a clue who the HC is actually considering. You give way too much credence and spend way too much time listening to 995ers.
  7. As long as the player has submitted the paperwork on time, then they still get to enter the portal. The school just gets a limited amount of time to wait to make it public, but they don’t control if a player gets to enter the portal.
  8. Think of what that would do to her career. Trewly Clean Chicken Coops just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
  9. You’re gonna have a bunch of guys doing multiple warm up laps to get the tyres up to temp in Q1 with all 20 cars on the grid. Sounds like a total shit show.
  10. IMO when every successful team is doing the opposite of what you’re saying, I’ll go with them.
  11. Best linebacker in the portal by a mile.
  12. Well sure, but it also wasn’t like they weren’t trying to not avoid him either.
  13. I would definitely take the other side of that bet.
  14. Any time you can fire the best assistant on a hilariously terrible offensive staff, you gotta do it.
  15. Agree with this. Watching 2012 and 2010 seasons all the way through in the offseason is the way to go.
  16. Shapen and Duggan both had some of their worst performances against us, so basically half the schedule, but other than that, ousux nailed it.
  17. We’ve seen the results of your steady-handed typing.
  18. I’m not sure where you’re getting all these teams supporting Andretti, but I don’t think that’s the case. Most outlets are saying pretty much every team besides Alpine is against it, which would then make sense why FOM is against it if the teams are that united and adamant they don’t want Andretti. If that’s the case, then everyone’s actions make sense. And I don’t see why any team besides Alpine would want Andretti to join. Even if Andretti add some new fans and grow overall revenue, they’ll steal way more fans and sponsors from teams who currently do well in the US market if they succeed. Especially since they now have a US car maker behind them and will likely bring a US driver too.
  19. @Hiphopopotamos will you post the PFF grades for Catalon for 2020 and 2021?
  20. Not sure that's accurate. IIRC, Calipari can leave for little to nothing. He had a ton of leverage last time they negotiated.
  21. I think it's unclear. Technically, the decision to add a team is FIA's, but F1 and reporters have circulated a quote saying F1 and FIA have to agree before a new team can be joined, and I assume "F1" agreeing would be the teams voting, but I guess it could be Liberty/FOM. The situation seems murky, but it defintiely looks like FIA and F1 are having a power struggle over this. Ben Sulayem is publicly supporting the bid and saying it's up to FIA, while every team but Alpine (because they will be the engine supplier) seems against it. I want to see Andretti/Cadillac join, but I also understand why the teams don't want it. It dilutes their TV revenue (and Andretti would steal current F1 fans from all the teams on the grid, but especially the big 3 and McLaren) without proportionately growing the earnings/adding new fans long term.
  22. Not sure how long you've been following F1, but Malaysia 2012 is a great race if you haven't seen it. It was a wild race with a lot of names you'll recognize, and it was cool to see the circuit since F1 hasn't raced there in a while.
  23. I'm curious how much it would take to get him. I can't see us matching what he gets paid at Kentucky, but he'd definitely have to make more than Sark. I guess a lot of it depends on how bad he wants out there, and how high his view is of the Texas Basketball program.
  24. We'll never know for sure, but the times when the defense looked the best this year were when we played aggressive and used a lot of quarters, i.e. when we looked more like a Patterson defense than a PK defense. I think it's safe to say he played a pretty big role in the defensive improvement. PK still has a tendency to play very soft, off coverages when he isn't sure how to counter the offense.
  25. It’s seriously impossible to tell which pictures are the before and which are the after.
