  1. Duffy looked good other than that he tended to overthrow a lot of his longer shots, based on my first impression.
  2. How does it feel to see us with gutsy (and effective in this case) play calling? Scares you to death?
  3. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Dallas
  4. Looked like a possibly missed targeting call. That defender tried to put the crown of his helmet into Cosmi, but dude trucked on anyway.
  5. He has a defect in his chest wall (missing, removed, or incomplete ribs), it appears. Poland’s syndrome often involves a defect there, but I’ve never seen one so dramatic. Wow.
  6. They will occasionally compete for the right to lose the B1G CCG. They weren't ever going to be nationally relevant in the B12 either, and now they get a fatter media paycheck to go with their lifetime supply of 10-pound cans of suck. It is too late not to be classless on the way out the door. They are what they are now.
  7. The roster size shouldn’t be too tricky to regulate. It just wouldn’t be done with quite so much emphasis on scholarships.
  8. Common mistake
  9. In some sports, they are essentially the entire earnings of the athletes. Additionally, teams in large/wealthy markets have players who are better set to make more money on the side. It is a known inequality in pro sports that has not ruined the idea of pro sports. And it would be virtually impossible to cap. You’d be back to restricting someone’s ability to profit from his likeness, just with a hypocritical half-way standard rather than completely.
  10. That’s the kind of example I want for my boys.
  11. Pro sports have no endorsement cap
  12. “Rē” (the macron is not a real part of the letter but can help one understand pronunciation) is a declension of the Latin “rēs” (thing or matter). To use it less awkwardly in a sentence to mean “in the matter of,” place the word “in” before it, with no extra capitalization. You have probably seen it in all caps in the context of the header of a legal document, but that is because of the header position, not the expression. For example: ... in re OL play ...
  13. Well it doesn’t matter cause we’re going in with both.
  14. If only there were a stat that measured what percent of FBS games you actually won. Not sure how you’d code the algorithm for something like that.
  15. Patience, my friend. The dark days may be behind us.
  16. Good bye, good luck, and thanks for the spot for Luke
  17. Ag hoc seems like a great descriptor of the nature of all their decisions and actions
  18. I agree that it looks that way to you.
  19. Yeah, he was probably misquoted. He said Chipotle was for shit. Next version of "telephone" had it as "chipotle is the shit," followed by "Chipotle is the best." By the time his gf typed it into his twitter, the meaning had changed a bit.
  20. They won't be calling for their king and savior in the first 2 games. They will be celebrating their season of destiny. Statement wins over Abilene Christian and North Texas wlil be followed by a P5 triumph over Colorado. The fourth game of their SEC *partially Grind will be a close win over traditional rival Arkansas, running the win streak over the Hogs to 947. The October losses when they travel to MSU, come home for Fresno State, and go on the road again at Auburn and USCe, those will herald the calling for the coming of the king.
  21. They are putting up video game numbers. We have no idea how easily they will score if we take something away from them, because they have 3 RBs averaging over 8 YPC and a QB who has thrown for over 15 yards per attempt and averages one TD every 7 throws (spreading them to 6 different receivers). Our best chance, IMO, to win is to be the stereotypical Herman team-- tough for every second of a big game. Show their new starters and remind the upperclassmen how brutal the game of football can be. It works to our benefit in this regard that they haven't yet played anyone with a pulse. Scheme and execution matter, but if they feel like tapping out, even if only here and there, we are more than half-way to a win.
  22. With Demas apparently bought in and Evans possibly out of other $uitable places to land, they may just generate enough excitement with the "and friends" part of their "2020: cubes, bread, and friends" class to get the roller coaster back up to appropriate starting height in the offseason.
  23. Clemson has looked meh, but their "C" game is likely good enough to get them wins against the rest of their slate. I agree with the sentiment above that they are likely in the PO but not the champ again. Bama- top ranked, controls its destiny, has the cache to get in with an "L," has three significant opponents in LSU, Auburn, UGA (presumably). tOSU- also undefeated and in control of its destiny. Not all cupcakes, though, and mediocre teams sometimes upset strong rivals. OU- is in if they run the table. I don't think that will happen. Would be a strong contender if they split with us in the order they did last year. LSU/Auburn- control their destiny in that if either somehow ran the table, they get the spot reserved for Bama. LSU has a small chance to do this, Auburn only former Heisman QB-sized chance. SEC's best chance for 2 slots is for one of these to go, along with a 1-loss Bama who almost beat them. UGA- a CCG loss would be too late to redeem, even if the rest of their resume is in order. Their best chance in that case would be if the B12 and B10 champs had 2 losses each. ND- will be near the front of the line of 1-loss teams if they play well. Close loss on the road to UGA can be spun different directions depending on who is still playing musical chairs come December. PSU/Wisc- probably not getting in without beating tOSU. If somehow PSU beat the nuts to win the East, that could set up a UT-OU-Tech 08 between Wiscy, PSU, and tOSU. Therefore a very slim chance for Wisc to lose to the couch burners but still advance as a 1-loss conference champion. Pac- just no. Unless Washington starts disintegrating opponents with laser beams after scoring touchdowns, this is too big of a clown show. Texas- running the table would be difficult and unlikely. Not unthinkable, though, as of yet. The temptation to include a 1-loss UT on an 11-game winning streak would probably be too much for the committee. Any more losses, though, and we're out. I don't see anyone else even mathematically alive at this point. Florida has a chance to play cockroach, though.
  24. Time to start the R McCombs Make-a-Wish-for-an-Athlete foundation.
  25. I'll admit to not paying really close attention to Tech lately. Wow, did not realize it was that bad at QB.
