  1. I also want to. But cu is such a wildcard and I can see Deion and shedur chucking it late up 7 easily
  2. Good for him? Bolden caught 54 of DJ's 180 completions last year, so a third? He was targeted a lot. Can't find any reliable YAC stats Bolden to see how many of his 750 yards were him vs. DJ. Did you watch a ton of OSU last year? I suspect we're going to find out this year that Bolden is elite at making his QB look good, which is awesome for Quinn. DJ is still an average college QB, and was very inconsistent. They pumped his completion percentage today by tossing a lot to the sidelines. He made a few clutch 4th down tosses, credit there - but also airmailed a ton that resulted in those 4th downs. Last year he only completed 57%. The FSU I saw today is 3rd - 5th place in the ACC. Couldn't stop the run, defense looked lost. Inconsistent on offense and in creating a push up front.
  3. DJU reminds me of the Mike Leach quote about how if a QB starts off inaccurate, he's never going to become accurate. That quote should have a picture of DJ next to it. FSU has a low floor, low ceiling this year because of him alone.
  4. The worst thing about Rhoback is that obnoxiously placed huge fucking dog logo on the shoulder.
  5. I like that orange hoodie Quinn has on there but don’t see it on the Rhoback site. Maybe still to come?
  6. Yes yes, but what does the daughter think about our RB situation?
  7. We are going to be ok at EDGE this season y’all:
  8. I'M PAT MCAFEE AND MY NORMAL VOICE IS YELLING! EVERYTHING IS A YELL!!!!! LET ME TELL YOU HOW PUMPED I AM ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!!11
  9. You need to go smoke some of that weed and chill the fuck out. I never said cheaters don't suck, so get those words outta my mouth. I said the NCAA can't do shit about it, and that's by design.
  10. That means less than nothing. An asterisk, oh no! They can't take the trophy back. There is no effective punishment the NCAA can dole out. Post-season ban? Punishes future players who had nothing to do with the infraction. Punish the coach? Oh the one who is gone to the NFL now? Fines? UM will laugh at that and can afford it. Scholarship reductions? The boosters will replace them with NIL deals of equal or more value. If this were Texas we'd have our middle finger held high for the world to see as we basked in our championship. The UM alumnus I know are doing the same. If I ask them would they rather have a Championship* or Lloyd Carr the answer is crystal clear. So yeah they cheated and they got away with it. If you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin'
  11. The NCAA doesn't give the title trophy, the CFP does. NCAA != CFP and the NCAA can't revoke a title they never gave for that reason. It's popular to bash the NCAA. Remember that the NCAA was created at the behest of and with the buy-in and support of the universities that created it, like UT and all of our new SEC friends, the B1G members, and so on. They created the NCAA to do what they struggled to do themselves but wanted, which was to provide governance and more importantly to be a punching bag for all the unpopular decisions they didn't want to put their stamp on, like scholarship limits, academic standards, retaining amateurism, and penalizing rule breakers. It's a heck of a lot easier to sit back and say "those corrupt fat fucks at the NCAA are holding us down" "They're the ones preventing athletes from monetizing their NIL!" Why do you think the NCAA did any of that? Why do you think they held on so long that they get bitchslapped at the SCOTUS? It wasn't for fun, it was because their membership wanted it. Now with all the money in major college football, there is a schism in the NCAA membership between the have's like UT in Power 2 and the have not's in the G7 and below. With the P2 programs turning profit it's no longer a "sports problem," it's a "sports opportunity" and the university presidents at those places are starting to care more. Board members like Eltife are even getting involved at a level previously not seen publicly. The power conferences are going to split off soon in football to establish more permissive rules for scholarships, recruiting, etc. They will form a new body, like the NCAA but just for major college football. The NCAA won't die, they don't even want to govern major college football because they don't make money on it and only get headaches. So yeah I can empathize with NCAA, they're stuck in the middle between stakeholders who want diametrically opposed things. They can't pick a winner because their membership is both. They can't split the middle either. Every choice is a losing choice for them. They've also had some truly foot-in-the-mouth leadership along the way too, which doesn't help. Also fuck you for making me defend the NCAA.
  12. I just want to know if they can pass pro. I'm not worried about their ability to run.
  13. Looks like Sir'Jabari Rice is still plugging in Austin. Hope he makes it.
  14. Finally, FINALLY a game that accurately depicts college football. I for one appreciate having 5 of the top 5 Heisman candidates. I'm 3 games into the season and Trey Moore is a cheat code, I have about 25 sacks with him in 3 games. Looking forward to our 100 point MoV this year, anything less is a disappointment.
  15. Well that definitely won't be turned into a meme!
  16. If she's on metformin it's 99.999% gonna be Type 2. Which was always going to be anyway considering her age and genetics and the population at large. 9 out of 10 diabetics are Type 2. Type 2 usually presents later in life, and can be managed via diet and lifestyle - sometimes even eliminating the need for drugs, but not always. Type 2 is strongly genetically typed, so your kids will need to look out for it. Certain populations (Native American, Hispanic) are more susceptible. Type 2 you usually still make your own insulin, just your body becomes less and less sensitive to it. Drugs like metformin can increase your sensitivity, as can weight loss and changing your diet. Most Type 2's don't require supplemental exogenous insulin, but those who can't/won't make the lifestyle changes might require it. Type 2 is where the diabeetus memes come from. Type 1 (formerly "juvenile") diabetes typically presents in childhood/teens, but over the past few decades later incidences in life have become more common. I was diagnosed Type 1 at 29 years old, and didn't have symptoms until that year. Type 1 is not strongly genetically typed, my kids have only a ~3% elevated chance of getting it because I have it. They don't know the cause of Type 1, it's an autoimmune condition and theories range from a virus to environmental to stress. Regardless in Type 1 your body attacks your insulin producing cells and kills them off so as someone said upthread you must take exogenous insulin - as I do via an insulin pump. My insulin sensitivity however is fine, I just don't make any.
  17. Same. I do really like how they did the mini games, they're kinda fun and challenging to get gold, especially if you're against Georgia's defense.
  18. Pate is the worst of the college football commentators, except for all the others.
  19. The most unrealistic part of that video is Texas playing @ Tech. That ain't ever happening again.
  20. Barnes always seemed like a bitch but he's got a good skillset fit for the Spurs and Wemby. He is big enough defend, he can hit the three (like 37.x% last year), he has ok vision and playoff experience. What's his contract after the first year to S.A.?
  21. Castle has a good floor with his defense and athleticism. I wonder on his ceiling, I think he can be a starting PG in the NBA and hopefully will really soak it up from Chris Paul this year. His handle is good but he's tall + vertical in his lean and dribbles a bit high, better defenders will rip him. TBH I read him as a good handling SG who could take PG minutes but not the primary ball handler role...but am willing to see where it goes. If he wants to be a true PG and develops that way, awesome. His skillset today to me seems 3 & D + explosive slasher with good vision more than PNR God + primary ball handler. Then again Tony didn't really have the "assist PG" early either he was more of a penetrate to score and then dish to a wide open Duncan and "no-matter-what-don't-turn-over-the-damn-ball" after Pop bashed that into his skull.
  22. I have a friend who is breaking out on her own as a personal trainer after a few years working for the Globogyms. She'd like some help from a lawyer looking at her waiver to make sure her bases are covered. She's in Austin area. Any recommendations?
  23. Not sure all his teammates not going to his concert is the flex he thinks it is
  24. Never let Steve Patterson see this
