  1. The poorly specified “something else” may be his posterolateral corner and/or posterior cruciate ligament (PLC, PCL). Hopefully not.
  2. Dislocations do worse. If he didn’t dislocate, his prognosis is good. Usually a dislocation means complete disruption of 3+ of ACL, PCL, MCL, and PLC. Meniscus is just along for the ride. He’ll feel that more when he gets arthritis as a 40 year old instead of 60.
  3. ACL and meniscus usually only ruins one season if that’s all it is.
  4. Stinks for him
  5. Coke a dope: the romp in the swamp
  6. Too late. Game’s already down the tubes.
  7. At the top left of the page, there is a drop down arrow by our usernames. Last option is the ignore user function.
  8. Despite all appearances, the scoreboard says this is not so.
  9. That prediction has herbies.
  10. Also, how great is it that the best ball-holder is a "HOTY!"
  11. I'm sure someone else remembers the details better than I, but there is some precedent for the NCAA to rule a prospect ineligible to receive athletic aid from a specific school based on recruiting irregularities, even absent a major violation or other sanction against the school.
  12. He's doing great. Unlikely he'll need it any time soon with awards like this, but he is getting a UT education-- he didn't fall into the Jock's trap of thinking he didn't come here to play school.
  13. We Run from This State
  14. No one here is arguing that throwing regularly to the RB as a primary target is good. If the study supports that that WRs are generally better 1st reads than RBs, it will have achieved "water is wet" levels of insight.
  15. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the following are all statistically desirable: WRs that get separation, OL that give QBs time, and QBs that can read more than one WR route. Subtract from that list, and you have the conclusion of the "analysis."
  16. I don't disagree. I listed him as hopefully available for LSU, as prep for that game starts in 9 days. I threw him at the end of the 2020 possibilities (after the FR-HS for that year) as a way of acknowledging the great chance that he will either stay at QB, go back to QB, fail to add up to anything as RB, or transfer to get a better crack at QB elsewhere. But he might just work out as RB.
  17. Against LaTech (fingers crossed) we need a RB who can help pick up blitzes and can gain enough yards to keep the defense honest if they're tempted to drop everyone into coverage. Against LSU, depending on how recovery and future injury luck bites us, we will have Ingram, Whittington, R. Johnson, and Smith available. Ideally we would get a true RB1 every year, keeping them for 3. It looks like we'll have arguably 2 instead of 3 guys who could be called RB1 types, and a third string who lacks experience (in two senses) but has a lot of talent. Our health problems (Kirk, Brown, Young, Ingram, Whittington), unfortunately, seem heavily concentrated at RB. Our QB recruiting has actually been good, but similar luck at that spot would already have ruined this season before it starts. That said, I am disappointed to see us continue to struggle at recruiting and depth at the position coached by the guy who normally should be helping boost other spots on the roster. Next year looks possibly better (high variability) with maybe Ingram, Whittington, maybe Brown, Bijan, maybe Ty, and maybe R. Johnson at the position. That could very likely be a stable of 6 quality backs. Depending though on NFL, true recovery from known injury/medical, landing expected prospects, and aptitude/tolerance for position change, we could still be left with no one.
  18. RitzBit Cracker didn't offer?
  19. Aggy was cheating in the 60s under Stallings. Politicians including LBJ got involved to press for keeping it under wraps. DKR was bitter, especially after losing in '67, and after that would leave the starters in later in the game against Stallings as his way of saying fuck you.
  20. Aggy depth chart is out. 3 freshmen on the OL 2-deep, including a true freshman starter. Power moves.
  21. MSU past = Gata future?
  22. A good RB breaks would-be tacklers’ ankles. Ours are so great they can break their own.
