Tell Me About Texas a&m
Meh, I don't get as worked up about uncommon or new uses. That is how we get language. We have both incidence and incident because people corrupted the same word incidens/incidentis into both of them. Dinner is supposed to mean breakfast, but migrated back through the day. *shrug*

Tell me about Texas Tech
Lubbock is kind of funny. First time in :Lubbock was a conference back in '93. The boundaries have pushed out since then, but it comes off as a suburb that, rather than bordering a city or another suburb, rather abruptly ends in cotton fields.

SEC Catch-all Thread
I wonder whether "patellar tendinitis" is LSU-speak for "strained patellar tendon." (Partial tear of that sweetheart would be a much bigger deal than the "1.5" touch of soreness they are claiming.) If there is nothing to see here, why all the shenanigans?

Tell me about Texas Tech
I am not the one who said his number was completely made up. Perhaps a better claim would have been: "The number is potentially completely made up with respect to players that are not good enough to be courted by any top 5 programs even though it is actually less than the publicly known number that applies to recruits who can actually help win something meaningful." Or you could gracefully admit that the number was not completely made up.

From NYT/Athletic article: That would be a 35% premium in (Tech GM) Blanchard's own words.

Pre-tensioning is definitely a risk factor for a tear. Bursts are the classic event for achilles, so a hard court does less to mitigate the suddenness. Playing the same sport year-round increases the risk for kids for things like TJ. Have to go work. May type more later.

believe it or not, we sometimes leave an "internal brace" to reinforce some ligament surgeries we do, though they look nothing like the braces a normal person would imagine

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
No. We are trying to let very large humans stop, start, and twist very fast and very hard while crashing into each other. Stretching a ligament a few mm too far blows it out. Braces can only do so much, as they are on skin which has subcutaneous fat and muscle between them and the bones they are to brace.

There isn't really even clear evidence that those huge braces make a real difference, sadly. One key reason is apparently that rotational stresses are frequently a major if not the major factor in failure of the ACL.

If Baxter is cutting in a brace, his surgeon has most likely assessed that: 1. His ligamentous reconstruction was successful and has matured all that it needs 2. His brace wear is likely primarily for his confidence on the knee 3. He is medically safe to do everything he can push himself to do- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

If this was not already in the Surly lexicon, usable either as a compliment or mockery, it should be henceforth IMO.- OU Recruiting 2026: Burnt Vegetables
The affective side of CFB, from recruiting, through development and gameplay, and even into post-career association, strikes me as a major difference wrt the NFL. Teenagers and their parents respond to coaches in ways that 22-YOs frequently do not. The GM over HC model appears to overlook the importance of the distinction much to their detriment. Football Dad is demoted to boss.- Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again

I believe aggy's quality loss to ND will be a fantastic springboard for them. As long as it is a margin that can be explained by one play, say 31 points or closer, it will show what championship material has coalesced in the station.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
College, namely a 4-year degree from an accredited institution, is required for some career paths and helpful for others. For some, it is an unnecessary and irrecoverable waste of 4 years of one's life and the cause of a serious financial burden. If one does not know what he wants to do in life but is pretty sure he wants it to be at a desk in someone else's employ, a solid degree is a wise starting point. If he does not know at all what he wants, he should just work for a few years and get an idea before spending 6 figures worth of his or someone else's money on something that may be useless. Our society has grown to treat college as de rigeur 13th grade.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

I hope they stink up the league and that Nagy 'helps' them hire a low-budget coach that is even worse. - Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
