  1. Floyd— OUT, no change Brown— OUT, no change Kirk— SC sprain, possible return sometime in September (estimated 6 weeks 8/10) Overshown— poorly specified sprain, in boot. Maybe back soon if this is minor ankle injury versus unstable midfoot. K Watson— leg bone contusion, in boot. Contusions (bruises) can hurt like and take as long as fractures (breaks) to recover. Some guys feel better faster and/or play through it. This can also be a catch-bucket for blunt force mechanism of injury where no further exact diagnosis jumps out. Best guess he’s back during camp.
  2. It’s not really a possession argument, but efficiency is arguably affected by actual elapsed time, NOT game clock, between defensive series in that guys need rest. More plays total on defense could similarly wear a team down, but that should generally cut both ways if there are more possessions, I would think.
  3. Long troll
  4. That’s not their pronoun
  5. Believe it or not, some of the most useless doctors on staff are often the Harvard-trained ones. Some combination of the crowd that wants to train there and the tendency of patients there to expect that Herr Doktor Professor (or at least a fellow) does the surgeries, I guess.
  6. Which one of you Surls is Hugh McElroy?
  7. You are missing the point, whether deliberately I can’t say. The point was not that I like the practice— I do not. The point is that the practice is well-known and refuted what you were saying.
  8. Ooh, recency limits. Great! Your conference scoring defense average over the last 260 days is 74.
  9. I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and suppose you only to be a bit stubborn and slow. Texas showed a repeated pattern in 2018 of pounding opponents and then turtling to hold on to a lead with Uber-conservative play calling. It has been rehashed ad nauseum. Do some reading and minimize the confusion of your honest ignorance with wanton stupidity or deliberate disingenuity.
  10. Those funny helmets have been shown to help cushion the mechanical effect of direct blows. It stands to reason but is not yet well-shown in the literature that they reduce the frequency and severity of head trauma. There is some concern further design work may be needed to ensure they slide against the ground better to make sure they don’t unintentionally increase other injuries like bending-moment c-spine injuries. My guess is that fatter helmets will become the norm within a few years, with extra padding in some fashion.
  11. Except their suckitude is apparently a recruiting selling point. Come and start because our current starters are trash! I think humiliating them in Dallas and having our other recruits live it up publicly on social media will help, though.
  12. There was a snafu in summer II course schedules. ART 3312, More Fun with Crayons, was supposed to be offered in the evening but ended up conflicting with practice. Until they get it ironed out, academics come first, and that means class attendance comes before football.
  13. UT. I didn’t feel like expending the effort to find the right number at IMG, but UT has a listed number for what looks like a relevant office. Others should feel free to let IMG know if they like.
  14. Voicemail left at 475-7923, Office of Brand, Trademarks and Licensing.
  15. Report that to UT licensing and save him the embarrassment of having put them into circulation
  16. I wonder how much similarity there is between some of Orlando's concepts and the defense Aranda ran against them. LSU had a pretty good day against UGA, too.
  17. Busted! You got me.
  18. I stand corrected. Well put.
  19. Thanks. If Overshown has more of a true ankle sprain than a midfoot one (the direction I am led by the description you give of the interview), it is probably not a big deal-- I think everyone here has been around a few ankle sprains. If Kirk has a sternoclavicular (SC) sprain, the timing could be similar to the much more common acromioclavicular (AC) variety-- dependent on severity of the ligamentous injury. Grade I-- maybe back in days, maybe weeks. Grade 2 -- weeks, probably at least the rest of camp. I think an Xray would have already shown something if there were a grade 3 (likely kiss the season goodbye) injury. In truth, even grade 2 might show up if the Xrays were done well.
  20. Texas beat OU one game and lost another. Previous H2H is not a completely reliable predictor of who will win a game, let alone the transitive property of football. To use the relative severity of the beatings Bama delivered to OU and ND in some vain quest to decide which would beat the other for some hypothetical consolation prize is fatuous.
  21. I don't think Ogre is in any particular danger. LSU is talented. I think a bag of hammers could coach them to 9 wins this year, so 8+ is definitely in reach.
  22. Don't forget OG. OT, CB need not apply.
  23. Brutal! I love it
  24. So basically, granting you a condition contrary to fact (getting another stop), OU would still have lost. We may be using different terminology, but I think what I would describe as showing heart and refusing to quit, you are describing as a comeback. Webster's applicable definition of comeback is If being down by 2 scores was the former condition in the vein of success or prosperity that OU sought, comeback would seem to be the correct term. If victory was desired, I think you are pretty far out on the limb. For aggy, I would buy losing by double digits as a (moral) comeback. For other teams, not so much.
