  1. You do realize you have opened yourself up to the vengeance of the boards Maldy loyalist. I agree with you and find it a bit amusing.
  2. A big thing to remember is that the scheme they are bringing in isn't something Pete and the staff haven't seen before. This isn't Pardee and Jenkins coming to the SWC or Leach and Briles to the Big 12. Put pressure with 4, cover in the back, and let the linebackers hunt.
  3. If you can't tell the difference between the opponents that UCF played in 2019 when Gabriel threw for over 3,500 yards as a freshman and the schedule Wazzu played last year I can't help you. Manteer got away with a lot last year he isn't going to be able to next year, but go ahead and behead worried about him.
  4. You did factor in just how bad the level of competition Wazzu played last year with that schedule? Easily the three best teams they played were Boise, Tech and UW. Washington was decent, Boise wasn't anything special, and if piling up numbers against Tech is impressive be glad Maverick McIver didn't transfer to OU.
  5. The two earliest memories I have of college football on television are my Dad watching the Texas win over Arkansas in 1969 and then my Dad watching the Rose Bowl with Jim Plunkett. My Dad was from the midwest and always pulled for the Big 10 teams. I can remember my Dad telling someone at our home to watch the game that Ohio State would overpower Stanford as west coast football wasn't tough enough against the more physical Ohio State game. The Buckeyes did run for 300 yards, but the talk at the house was Stanford's high flying passing game and the connection between Plunkett and his favorite receiver Randy Vataha. When I go back and look at the numbers for Plunkett, a senior AA and Heisman winner, they were impressive for then, but would be viewed as poor today. He threw for 2,715 yards in 11 games, average 14.2 ypc, completed just over 53% of his attempts (threw it ~32 times a game) and had 18 td's and threw 18 interceptions.
  6. Don't think so, Adrian would have gone to the belt if it was one of his sons. My thought is Adrian was ready to throw the first punch, realized he couldn't afford any more legal issues, couldn't back down because he just couldn't back down, and waited for the other guy.
  7. Truthfully, would be more amazing if they both died having sex, with each other, with no kids or that damn chimp Bubbles involved.
  8. I think when people talk about the "spread" offense they really don't understand there is the spread formation which goes back to Rusty Russell and Masonic Home High School in the 20's to the spread passing game. As you point out, there were a number of changes that brought that about the development of the passing game in college, big one being the narrowing of the hash marks. I can't imagine trying to make the modern passing offenses work with those old hash marks. Someone has already mentioned Don Coryell and his impact on the West Coast passing game, LaVell Edwards at BYU was another who used the short passing game instead of run game as well as BYU did some unique things in pass protection., Tiger Ellison is seen by some as the father of the run-n-shoot with his offenses in the 1960's in Ohio high school football of all places, and then a high school coach named Jack Neumeier in LA is recognized by some as the father of the modern spread passing offense.
  9. Wouldn't it be too late to stop her? Suicide is a terrible thing, the impact on friends and family are devastating, but why would that been something needed to be shared with the public?
  10. Has anyone watched the interview she did with David Letterman?
  11. This years .540 OPS would put him just behind Brendan Rodgers.
  12. Guess playing poker is Peterson strategy for paying off those debts.
  13. My wife who is a nurse has a new favorite after watching the last Mission Impossible movie. Somehow, when the emergency arises, people on TV and movies have the materials and the skill to put in a chest tube with no issues or consequences. Wife loved the size of the knife used on Benji and yet the hole was the perfect size.
  14. Accept that Maldi isn't coming back and move on......
  15. NBA fine for a flagrant is a minimum of $2,000, but I think I read the minimum for a player with no experience is $1.1M+ so that is tip money at the strip club. Mabrey makes $200K+ a year so $400 is nothing. Fines in all honesty really don't do much in professional sports. Now, suspending so they miss a game check is a bit more of a penalty, but even with Mabrey in a 40 or so game season that is still not a big hit.
  16. Funny how when you bring in a group of new people who don't know any better it can dramatically change the expectations and attitude of a group.
  17. True, or Ben is trying to keep the lines of communication open for when the Giants release Justin in hope that Bagwell will lock Dana in a closet somewhere and Crane brings Verlander back for one more run for old, old, old times sake.
  18. I am most likely very wrong, but something seems to be missing. Not sure what.
  19. I don't love Green, but unfortunately neither does Phoenix and I don't like the idea of giving up a great deal for a guy who most likely has a couple of years left. I will also say I don't exactly love Alpie either as he was way too passive and I really am not sure he is a building block piece.
  20. What happens if the annuity business ever goes to shit again?
  21. Great, but if the goal is to win a title and the team isn't quite ready why give up draft capital and young players for a guy who has a short career horizon.
  22. Was expecting the Espada special of sitting Cam after 4 hits last night.
  23. Slam man?
