  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Truthfully, would be more amazing if they both died having sex, with each other, with no kids or that damn chimp Bubbles involved.
  4. 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.
  5. 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?
  6. Has anyone watched the interview she did with David Letterman?
  7. This years .540 OPS would put him just behind Brendan Rodgers.
  8. Guess playing poker is Peterson strategy for paying off those debts.
  9. 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.
  10. Accept that Maldi isn't coming back and move on......
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. I am most likely very wrong, but something seems to be missing. Not sure what.
  15. 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.
  16. What happens if the annuity business ever goes to shit again?
  17. 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.
  18. Was expecting the Espada special of sitting Cam after 4 hits last night.
  19. So is mlb.com experts insert anyone who claims to be a sports expert on the internet) the sports equivalent of apple store genius? All the Astros creative brain power is too busy coming up with creative ways to describe injuries and times on the DL.
  20. I agree Smith is not where a player like Acuna was at this age and I don't think he has the same tools. My point was and is that based upon this roster and who the Astros can legitimately can put in the outfield on a nightly basis I don't see how they really have any other choice and the idea they should have kept him in the minors simply for another season of control is off base. I am not sure I am ready for Brown to mirror the Red Sox and sign Smith now to a longer deal, heck, we haven't even see how he reacts and adjusts one teams start coming up with a plan to attack his swing and approach at the plate.
  21. There are some in the Houston media who tried to make the argument the Astros screwed up by not leaving Smith in the minors because he is going to be great and playing him this year will cost them a year of team control. With this roster and the other outfield options, fuck that idea.
  22. A legit question to me is why hasn't there been an increase in the overall skill level and athleticism among the bigs in women's basketball? Not trying to be funny, not trying to troll anyone, serious question. Clark's skills are not unique to the game of basketball so why don't we see higher developed skills coming out of college? There has been a ton of money poured into women's collegiate sports, the WNBA is almost 30 years old so this isn't new or just catching on. As far as big, I watched parts of two TCU games last year, one versus ND and the other South Carolina and I couldn't believe how unathletic the bigs seemed on the floor. Prince played flat footed, heck the other bigs the same. It was as if I was watching female clones of Bill Robizine and yet if I watch women's volleyball in college I see multiple players over 6' who can get up off the floor and play above the eight foot net. I am not expecting a 6'3-4" post to drop step and dunk like I see in can commonly see in a guys' high school game, but in those two games the bigs are playing below the net.
  23. Very good point, unless you go out of your way to attract attention, most athletes in Olympic sports fly under the radar for three years, even if they are dominating their sports and winning world titles. The perfect example is Sydney McLaughlin - Levrone. Hands done the most dominant US women's athlete going and she is an afterthought if you asked most of America to name the top female athlete. Consider she is the FIRST ATHLETE (male or female) to set 4 world records in the same event (did it over 13 months) and wins by some insane margins. She is the most dominant US hurdler since Edwin Moses and if she wins a third gold medal in LA she will join a group that includes the likes of Faith Kipyegon (1500M), some guy named Ryan Crouser, another guy named Carl Lewis (long jump, and Usain Bolt (100m and 200m). To have the opportunity to join that company is so rare and yet does ESPN ever mention what she has done in the new track league? Nope, but then again I don't recall Crouser being mentioned and I would highly suspect he won't be nominated for an ESPY (bullshit award I know) despite dealing with the blood clot issue to beat the second best shot putter of all time for a third straight time in the Olympics.
