  1. Maybe Herman is trying to name a starter who is allowed by NCAA to start. edit: Katfid beat me to it
  2. Herman answered to the effect that he likes starting with a G5 as a warmup and then playing a marquee game.
  3. The first notice they gave of the date is less than 2 months out? No save the date notice? They shouldn’t be surprised or upset that people have lives. Politely decline and send them salt shakers or whatever your means allow off their registry.
  4. True. A lot of us (MO included) are generally pro-Herman, but still anti: Casey Horny hiring Underperforming assistant retention Q4 turtling It may turn out that he has good reasons for what makes us crazy, but we don’t accept it as granted.
  5. I feel like we should be accumulating some kind of Chevigny Steinmark Brown Papa Ehlinger win one for El Ced mojo for this season.
  6. This is a forum for anonymous (mostly) adults to spend hours reading and arguing about games played by strangers on account of an affiliation with one of the many schools we’ve attended in our lives. Looking for truly objective and logical bases for what we post would seem an exercise in futility. With that as the background, his arguably hypocritical (hello, Coach UM), cowardly (shout down the sips from CS), and inaccurate (nothing could be more purifying than cleaning our athletic, mainly football, leadership out at that time) statement, make him an obvious candidate for mockery and grudges.
  7. This is the answer. For those who don’t want to lie, cheat, or steal (versus aggy who loves unfulfilled lip service to the concept) but wish to stream the ‘Horns, PS Vue is the answer. Double check what they offer you, but the core package should be $55/month, free for 5 day trial. It should have both LHN (LaTech) and CBS Sports net (Rice). Cut your cable and use ps vue instead for the fall. If you can’t afford $55/month from late August through early January, you may not be cut out to be a Surl whale.
  8. Hate to say it but he may be headed xfl
  9. As much as we may not want to admit it, he has a point. Sumlin barely averaged 8 wins (not counting bowls), and only won his first 3 bowls. By comparison, Jimbo won 8 games plus a bowl his first year.
  10. Other than the possible exception of the bolded text, I don’t think one could find a dime’s worth of difference between our opinions.
  11. It is a gas at STP. It can easily be stored as a liquid, though, by closing the container to prevent escape of the vapor pressure. Think cigarette lighter. You’d need a special container, but a butane cocktail is theoretically possible. What is trickier is getting it dissolved in vodka, at least at reasonable temperatures.
  12. Not really. Light-headedness is usually from all the blood going somewhere else. Football doesn’t cause what he seemed to have. The problems are (1) his condition might have taken away brain function he needed, (2) blood thinners he might take to help prevent recurrence put him at unacceptable risk of serious bleeding with contact while he’s on them, and (3) unrelated to football, he could have another episode.
  13. Glad to see their writers don’t pump sunshine.
  14. We never got an exact diagnosis or results of any testing for predisposing conditions. My working guess has been a venous sinus thrombosis, blood clot in a big brain vein. Some authorities think anticoagulation (blood thinners) afterwards should be long-term, some a year, some 3-6 months, and some argue they aren’t appropriate. I can’t imagine he’ll be cleared for contact while on blood thinners. Strength and conditioning, etc should be fine. If I’ve guessed his condition, if he gets an average duration of anticoagulation, that would mean he is probably arguably OK to start back when desired at this point. They’re probably going to watch him be a student for a semester before they let him be a FB player again though. disclaimer: that took a boatload of guesses to answer
  15. Pretty much this.
  16. I’m a general orthopedist, but I replace more knees than anything else.
  17. Who knows when he realized what about his leg, and who cares? I wonder how many Surls would show up for work Monday if they realized tomorrow that they have more money than they will ever need already in the bank. Even the ones who don’t get hit at work by 300 pound freaks with bad intentions. No one owes anyone else to sacrifice his body for amusement. Good for Luck.
  18. A good mri should tell the story. Sometimes the machine has problems or (more often) the patient moves a little. The image is very easily degraded if anything isn’t just right when the mri is performed. It sounds from the way things are being phrased that they think more is wrong. To answer your question, probably not. Once the patient is asleep on the table, you can examine his knee with no guarding to confound.
  19. The poorly specified “something else” may be his posterolateral corner and/or posterior cruciate ligament (PLC, PCL). Hopefully not.
  20. 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.
  21. ACL and meniscus usually only ruins one season if that’s all it is.
  22. Stinks for him
