  1. Yes. ASU football site and Carrington's LinkedIn indicate it. https://thesundevils.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/bryan-carrington/5165
  2. I've watched a couple ND games this year: aTm, part of NIU, Purdue, some of GT, Navy, and USC. Similarly, I have watched some IU games this year: Michigan, tOSU, and some of Purdue. I cannot really tell if either of these teams is any good. ND's SOS is 64. IU's is 74. Fwiw, IU got whipped by tOSU, but tOSU also had TD drives with short fields due to IU's inferior special teams play. That said, IU has a statistically good rush defense for a reason: they played teams with crappy run offenses. Given each team has at least 12 games under its belt, rush offense rankings have some meaning. The best running team IU played was tOSU, ranked 52. 6 of their opponents were not in the top-100. 3 more were in the 90s. Early in the year, you could say "because of their defense" - now, it is because they played crappy running teams. What I find interesting is that UND is only -6.5. Some predictors - based on computer models - would have them as -8 on a neutral site, placing them at -11 since it is a home game. Perhaps the cold weather is causing the derate, or lack of confidence in their ability to blow someone out, or heavy money on IU. I see this as an entertaining game, and will be cheering for IU. I hope they win by 10+
  3. He was 2023 national #83 for On3, so they could have said, "Top 83". He was 2023 national #102 for 247. "Top 102" Top 85 sounds better than top 100 I guess . Good PR

  5. On most forums, people pillory each other for less offensive shit than typos on "their, there, and they're." Welcome and enjoy. Regardless, history will be irrelevant for this. SWC - not relevant. Big12 - not relevant. Clemson's dominance in the bag-game late 2010s - not relevant. THIS YEAR, Texas is a superior team to Clemson - shown above - and should win by 2 TDs. I recall Clemson fans looking for QB2 last year when Klubnick struggled against decent teams. He'll struggle on Saturday, as he has against good teams this year.
  6. There. Your Clampson degree is on display.
  7. I forgot about that . The woman who was the guidance counselor for that group seemed like she was herding cats as much as making sure the students were making proper academic progress. It was mind-boggling.
  8. I do not think all of the NIL money in the world could convince me to transfer from Stanford to OU.
  9. Agree. The Eagles are really good, though. It was a battery-free game, so that's always a plus from Philly.
  10. Hilarious. Edit: seems like Coker is the guy Dallas should have traded for.
  11. Worth a bump. This is a great series.
  12. The first time, I stopped a few mins into the 1st episode. Came back later and pushed through. Glad I did, as I was rewarded
  13. Great cut. Lyrics, for the unitiated. Oh yeah, oh, no, the train, the train Every two or three years the train kill somebody Every two or three years, yeah Everybody knows about the train, okay? You hear it constantly You... I, I think the train is a way to find your way out of this life If you get hit by it A couple of kids got hit by a Union Pacific train Carrying sheet metal and household appliances Through the pouring rain They were planning on getting married after graduation Had a little baby girl, trouble came and shut it down Things like that ain't supposed to happen In this quiet town Families are tight Good people, they still don't deadbolt their doors at night In this quiet town When we first heard opioid stories They were always in whispering tones Now banners of sorrow mark the front steps of childhood homes Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies And merit badge milestones with their daughters and sons Laying there lifeless in their suits and gowns Somebody's been keepin' secrets In this quiet town They know how to live Good people who lean on Jesus They're quick to forgive In this quiet town Now whenever I'm near the town I'll find some reason to give And I will walk with the dead and the living where I used to live And every time I see my parents in the prime of their lives Offering their son the kind of love he could never put down Part of me is still that stainless kid, lucky In this quiet town Salt of the land Hard-working people, if you're in trouble They'll lend you a hand Here in this quiet town The first crop of hay is up School let out and the sun beats down Smoke billows from a Sunday train That cries away from a quiet town
  14. IIRC, Gilbert got booed against BYU in 2011. 70+ year old lady 2 rows in front of me was booing about as loudly as anyone. I expressed, to no one in particular, but perhaps to the person I was with, "C'mon, this is not necessary. He knows he's struggling." 70+ year old lady turns to me and says, "If we do not boo him, Mack will leave him in." I told her that Mack has a close-up of what we are watching - or something like that. A few plays later, he was removed for David Ash. She turns to me and yells, "See! Told ya so!" Ok, wow. SMH
  15. Phonetically- up to you. As spelled - nope.
  16. Perhaps that's why Bouwmeester was chosen over Crimmins (Purdue). Crimmins has 2 years left. Bouwmeester has 1.
  17. Statistically, the Crimmins (Purdue) and Bouwmeester (Utah), were very similar. Crimmins: 64-2871 (44.9), net of 41.8 (top 25), 27% inside 20. Bouwmeester: 60-2680 (44.7), net of 40.4 (top 50), 38% inside 20. Crimmins was honorable mention in the big10, behind Czaplicki (USC - 48.5, 45.7, 60%), Eckley (MSU - 47.9, 41.2, 14%), and Dakin (Iowa - 44.2, 40.0, 45%). For what it's worth.
  18. Not sure he's up to the task, but he could play TE.
  19. I've had bad experiences w/ tOSU fans in Austin and West Lafayette. I cannot imagine how bad it would be actually in Columbus. Been to Columbus for kid college trips. I liked the place, people were great, etc., which was a total surprise based on how my fellow fans and I have been treated by theirs. That said, if we fans stop traveling to away games at tOSU, aren't we letting the terrorists win?
  20. Auburn is the Nebraska of Alabama.
  21. We could give them a few of these.
