    I assume you were able to generate this based on the process of elimination? 
     

    If true, I’m good with it. Plenty of breaks in the schedule with 2 byes and a mix of an easy opponent after a difficult opponent. 

    This schedule was given to me but it has one error at least:

    1. CSU, Michigan, UTSA, ULM, OU, Georgia, Arkansas, and atm are all scheduled
    2. Mississippi St. Plays UMass on Nov. 2
    3. Florida and Georgia play Nov. 2 so we already know that one is wrong

    So if I make that one change you have

    More like Old Man Yells at Cloud that has struck him with lightning over and over again. There’s a reason I didn’t post here while Shaka Smart was the coach for his last 4 1/2 years and there’s a reason I stay away from football and football recruiting threads. 

    And that is a crying shame SL Xpress. You have forgotten more about Texas Longhorn athletics than the majority of the mouth breathers around here will ever learn their entire lives, including myself. The only posts I looked forward to reading more than yours were your Dad's.  The apple does not fall very far from the tree.  Thanks for the salient insight on the current situation.

    I'm don't remember exactly, but the average of the 308.xx group of recruits was something like .93xx

    Is .02xx difference a large number? I don't know. I would guess that it is a significant difference.

  10. Not to split hairs but 2022 ended up .9100 (25.4813/28=.9100)

    2002 was .9104 but there were at least 11 that never really saw the field.

    If you include the seven (so far) transfers (using HS rating, not T rating) 2022 is .8926

    Neyor, Milton, and Dorsey were not rated very high coming out of HS.

    There were 27 in the 2002 class.  2022 has 28 plus 7 transfers (may be more)

  11. The 1956 Giants had 5 future Pro-football HOF members and nine NFL All-Pros on the team. Who knows if Landry and Lombardi would have won the championship without that level of talent. What I was attempting to point out was that two of the greatest coaches of all time had a lot of talent on their Championship team and in took three years, and BOTH of them to put it all together.

    By the way there were two other members of that 1956 Giants team that would go on to become Head Coaches beside Landry and Lombardi. Dick Nolan - San Fransisco 49r's and Alex Webster NY Giants.

    I can already tell you their problem.  Too many white players.

    Emlen Tunnell was the first African American to be inducted into the Pro-football Hall of Fame.

    Rosey Brown was an All-Pro OT and Rosey Grier was an All-Pro DT, both were African American.

    An interesting side note, Lew Alcindor was a young high school basketball player from New York in 1956. Mel Triplett was a RB on the Giants Championship team. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wrote in his 1984 memoir Giant Steps, that he wore #33 because that was Mel Triplett's number on the Giants. Triplett was MVP in the 1956 Championship game against the Chicago Bears.

    Not to beat a dead horse but Seven Loss Steve and Pete Kan’t Koach Kwitkowski should have gotten more out of those guys. Smu, Houston, Texas state…are fucking power houses bud. Ha. What a crock of horse shit. Those guys fucking sucked shit through a straw and Vince fucking Lombardi couldn’t have turned them into winners with Tom Landry and Bill Walsh as his coordinators. 

    The 1953 New York Giants were horrible. 3-9 and last place even though they had five Pro-football Hall of Fame players on the rooster: Frank Gifford RB, Emlen Tunnell DB, Tom Landry DB/P, Arnie Weinmeister DT; Rosey Brown OT; and Charlie Conerly QB (College Football Hall of Fame), plus All-Pro Kyle Rote WR.

    In 1954 Tim Mara hired an assistant coach from Army to be the Offensive Coordinator. That assistant was Vince Lombardi. Mara also made Tom Landry the Defensive Coordinator (player/coach). Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry, under Head Coach Jim Lee Howell took that 3-9 last place team to 7-5 and 3rd place. In 1955 they went 6-5-1 and again 3rd place.

    In 1956 Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi (Howell HC) won the NFL Championship.  Two of the greatest football coaches of all time needed the third year to win a championship.  That 1956 NY Giants Championship team had five Pro-football Hall of Fame players on the rooster: Frank Gifford RB, Emlen Tunnell DB, Sam Huff LB, Andy Robustelli DT, Rosey Brown OT; and Charlie Conerly QB (College Football Hall of Fame), plus All-Pro Kyle Rote WR and Rosey Grier DT.
