    Isn’t Young sitting the year out?   Is Brown still on medical?   

    He stated he was before the new eligibility rules were passed.  No idea about D. Brown.

    Psychology - agree - would be one reason, but with fractional shares you can buy $100 worth of Apple now. Honestly - do not know. From that link above:

     

    Thanks for the info.  I heard you could buy fractional shares on Robinhood but don't use that platform.  I'm not seeing it on TDAmeritrade -- doesn't let me enter decimals for the QTY.  I don't trade options so maybe that's where you can do it.  I do have fractional shares from reinvested dividends.

    Damn.  Looks like you can pick it back up for $100 (after the split). https://www.fxstreet.com/analysis/apple-stock-analysis-2020-buy-aapl-before-or-after-stock-split-video-202008141557 (note - I have no idea if this analyst makes good picks).

    Is there any specific reason why Apple would split their shares now?   Just to make it more accessible for the average Joe to buy?  And, why would Amazon not want to split?

    Jeff Howe was asked this on 247 and said no, it does not open up a scholarship spot. 

    That contrasts what Wescott Eberts said.  "With the three players opting out, Texas will have 80 scholarship players available for the 2020 season, including five former walk ons."  

  5. I am also surprised with Jalen Green.  I think it was his first year here when Herman said something like we gotta play him now because we don't expect to have him all four years.  Previously, he was touted as the best lock down corner - one you can put on an island and forget about.

    Who are “you guys” here?

     

    he played the edge. Same position. But in th w new scheme he won’t be dropping into coverage and running with a lot receivers and TEs in this scheme. It’s not hard. 

    You and Joe.

    Let's just agree we both think he is uber talented.  We can probably also agree that he is a first or second rounder.  I was simply tapping the brakes until we see a full season of his potential.

    I am curious where he ends up in the NFL as he appears to be a tweener.  I'm not sure he has the size to be a traditional NFL DE.  But, the game is changing.  That will likely sound the alarm with some on this forum.

    For a person claiming you didn’t agree with the premise and we’re playing devils advocate, you sure seem dedicated to die on this hill. 
     

    let me put it another way. He was playing the right position it was only out of position because of shit assignments responsibilities.  So arguably he put up the same stats as Chaisson in only 50% of the opportunities. 

    uhhh what? so he'll be playing the right position this season but with good assignments in a completely different scheme?  Meaning you think he has two right positions - one in Orlando's scheme with shit responsibilities and one in Ash's scheme with presumably sound responsibilities?  

    damn you guys really know how to twist things around.

    Dude, he was the best player on defense all year prior to being placed in his proper position.

    Agree in that he was the best player playing out of position.  That's not much of an argument on your part though (him being a first rounder at a position he hasn't played at unless you count Utah, which as I stated, he was matched against what appeared to be an undersized TE).  I don't expect that big of a mismatch in his new position this season.

  9. 9 minutes ago, SydneyCarton said:

    So you’re retort is he had a bad single play in practice against another future first rounder? Oh and he might have had practice restrictions?

    Sir, I hope you have the name of a reliable straw farmer so you can continue your limp-wristed graspbaggery. 

    Like i said, I was grasping at straws.  Looked like two bad plays, one of them being a pancake.  And, it seems most of us expect him to declare after the season so comparing him against Cosmi isn't out of the ordinary.  

  10. 13 minutes ago, SydneyCarton said:

    Why? Because he has NFL measurable, in his first full season he put up very very good numbers playing way out of position most of the time, and I know he’s already on the radar if NFL scouts. And as a sophomore he put up stats almost identical to first round draft pick k’laivon chaisson at LSU. 
     

    Perhaps the question is for you to qualify, specifically, why we should pulp the brakes exactly?

    He did get absolutely man-handled by Cosmi in the Bigs vs Bigs twitter clip from a few days ago, but I'm grasping at straws here.  He likely had limited space to work with in that drill.  Also, for whatever stupid reason Utah never adjusted their blocking scheme to account for him.  You can see he went up against what appeared to be an undersized TE most of that game (think it was 18).  That said, he is one of my favorite players and I have high expectations.  Just playing devil's advocate here.

  11. Not exactly what I said, or I could have worded it better.  Preferably, you would have answered the question without posing it in the first place (and maybe you did but I missed it).  I don't disagree with most of what you say, just how you approach it.  I will say there is value in this type of approach, and my reluctance to answer your questions is to avoid the "gotcha!" response.  It reminds me of the types of questions posed on mainstream TV news interviews when the host is attempting to roast.

    That's how conversation works; you ask questions to elicit responses in case you are wrong about what you think the other person will answer.

    Otherwise you're just talking at/past people, which seems to be your goal I guess?

    You ask baited questions, such as "Are 'BLM' and 'the looters' the same thing?"  

    When you first asked this question, I gave you the benefit of the doubt.  I definitely would have given you the benefit of the doubt had you attempted to answer the question yourself before waiting on others.  And it's clear that your posts after that cemented your troll-like behavior:

    "brotha's characterization of BLM is just a lie. It's wrong, it's ignorant, and at its core its nothing really but hurt feelings and emotion."

    "He said neither BLM nor the looters care about the "average black life". That's an irrational, emotional statement made out of hurt, not out of reason."

    Sure it was against air, but that second throw was a dart from the far hash.  Glad to see he can spin it that well and hope he can consistently do that.

  14. There was a live interview last night on local news with 4 activists;  two older, two younger.  It was encouraging to see that while they all support the cause, there were some disagreements about looting.  One of the younger activists claimed that looting was a-ok because they were entitled to "reimbursements".  The older activists were not quite on the same page.

    I don't care to engage BT in arguments.. i sense he's the type that, if you declare a circle is red, he'd asked you to prove how the ray of light emitted from the circle falls within the spectrum of red light; then, he ask you to prove the circle is a circle.  That's fine by me - we could use that type of discussion in spades. 

    Anyways, I haven't yet seen BT address how violent protests can be weakening the movement by dividing current activists as well as non-activists; and as Nicole puts it, "The longer the riots go on and destruction happens the less the 87% of America will give a fuck."  But perhaps I missed his retort on this.  I seem to think he doesn't really care so long as it's anarchaic reform (speaking out of my ass here).  And, no, BT - I will not be answering any questions you pose as I've seen you post trolling questions to which you already knew the answer.

    .....does it also display home run potential for other teams?

    To spin it that way, very much so.  mostly because, it appeared to be mostly 1v2s.  but who knows what plays were called.  for all we know, the Coordinators could have put the Defense in a compromising situation.  Stop spiking my kool-aid with depressants.

    I can't fucking wait for Bijan.

     

    Dude outruns one proven starter (Chris Brown) and gains the edge on one potential starter who claimed to have been the fastest player on the team last season (Josh Thompson).  When your freshman RB can outrun and get the edge against upperclassmen DBs, that displays home run potential.  Furthermore, this appears to be 1v2s.  This excites me.

    Because it's the only team you pay close attention to, so you actually notice them all. Go look at OU if you want a team with an actual injury problem this year.

    Yeah, I feel like we've been fortunate with injuries under Tom Herman.  It was two or three years ago when all 5 OL starters missed a handful of games throughout the entire season.  That's pretty rare.  Last season, we had a rash of shoulder injuries, most of which were younger players.  Aside from that, I feel like we've been pretty lucky.   /nojinx
