  1. The way they're using the husband to relate historical info about the LDS church is a bit stilted. You're in a police station in the interrogation room with blood on your clothes and the cops obviously suspect you of killing your wife and kid and all you want to talk about is church history? Also, I saw the Rockies in the background of what was supposed to be Ohio. Maybe the plains are significantly flatter than I thought? Anyway, I hate geography fails in movies and TV. It's like every 1950's western where Texas has both Saguaro cacti and Monument Valley. Still, some good scenes and I'll keep watching.
  2. So how does a deal like this Addison/USC thing get done in a few hours? Are there any enforceable rules against tampering? Seems like there had to be an uncle or high school coach or trainer acting as the middleman before the portal announcement.
  3. Much less? I was thinking it would be a bit more as you also need to take care of your preferred walk-ons if you want to have a solid program. They wouldn't be much, but it would have an effect. For instance, right now we have two walk-on kickers and (gulp) some ex-walk-ons that will play a lot on defense.
  4. $20 million divided by 85 is $235,000. That seems low. If Florida is thinking that, they are already behind the curve.
  5. I get why they did it that way, but it was just a damn depressing episode. Tragic backstories are one thing, but I don't like child abuse being used as a plot device.
  6. Regarding Mathis, I just heard the PAC is reworking some NIL deals to get Texas and Oklahoma to sign with them instead of the SEC.
  7. I'm all for more scholarships in the minor and Olympic sports. Let's kick Stanford's ass on a regular basis.
  8. As farewells go, that's a pretty good one. Best of luck to the guy.
  9. Yeah, I'm making some assumptions: 1. All options currently available for LT have significant flaws. 2. Given the flawed options, the one who has a baseline of competence and will make the least mental mistakes is the pick. 3. Connor's both book-smart and football-smart. 4. He's been praised for his versatility and ability to learn both tackle and both guard positions. 5. I think that Flood's coaching and Connor's intelligence will keep him from making cascading errors from overcompensation. 6. You can scheme a little to help with speed rushers. Conclusion: He's the least bad LT option right now and may well be the least bad option for the first part of the season. That seems a perfectly logical position to take. I'm not saying lock him in at LT for the next three years. It'd be great if Banks lives up to the hype and takes the spot by mid-season.
  10. Well, I was hoping we'd get lucky with this guy, but no.
  11. I'm OK with Connor at LT. He'll get beat by speed on occasion, but he's smart enough to keep mental errors at a minimum--and those are what get QBs killed. You can scheme around a guy's physical limitations but it's tough to scheme around stupid. I also think Connor will continue to improve.
  12. Interesting stat from the article above: "...slightly more than one-third of all FBS players in the portal have been walk-ons."
  13. Sweat leaving will cause some heads to explode, but might be the best for all parties. Frees up some space and he can go somewhere where he plays every down and can maybe play himself into shape and a draft pick. Collins would be a blow because potential is always tantalizing. Coburn is a name and a good guy, but if he feels it's best, that's cool. One is no big deal, but I'd certainly hate to lose two or more of those three. A better player or two in the secondary would also be tough but there might be some who fancy themselves CBs but are pulling Safety reps. LBs who aren't starting, well, eh, but I guess you need those types on special teams though. I'm OK with any O-lineman leaving who is not getting first team reps this Spring. If we come out of fall with two centers, three guards, three tackles, and one utility guy who can all play at a basic level, I'll be ecstatic. Might have to be happy with seven instead of nine, at least for the first half of the season. The WR room could still be thinned some. It'd be disappointing to lose any of our RBs, but it is a crowded room and those RB types are not known for patience. Sounds like we have 2 1/2 TEs, but I'd like to see one more blocking specialist step up.
  14. Liberty was dead by then. The reporter Maxwell Scott drops that quote.

  16. I thought Hayden Panettiere, the kid from Remember the Titans, would become a bigger deal after her Heroes role. I also thought Eliza Dushku would do more.
  17. So what's the deal with this kid? Highly rated recruit sure, but only gets in two games prior to the championship game against Georgia where he has 50% of his total catches for the year (2/52 in that game and 2/20 the rest of the season) and then Saban rakes the backup WRs over the coals after the game. Then, he's suspended from Alabama for breaking team rules and hits the portal. Not a great start to his college career. I guess you're betting on potential here, but there do seem to be some watch-out elements in play.
