  1. Is that what our OL wore under their uniforms circa 2010-2017?
  2. JT King played for Bible and coached against DKR. He opined that Cherry was the best coach we ever had.
  3. Yeesh! I hadn't realized it was that bad. Pitt at 7-6 (6-2) was in sole possession of first place of the Coastal Division. And UNC beat them last year.
  4. The difference is that LSU will have a lot more talent bumbling on the field.
  5. Hopefully prescient. Better still would be quick strike leading to jumped receiver screens and pick 6s.
  6. Is that like when OU has a "cream out" or aggy has a "moron out?"
  7. You must not work at a hospital
  8. For those who need a reminder, almost is just a special case of NOT NOT losing to Kansas in the context of a team that otherwise had a great season is generally a poor comparison for LOSING to Kansas as part of an otherwise craptastic season. It is very aggy to play the, "assume every other part of the past doesn't change, but switch this one variable in a way that helps my argument, and voila!" game. Mack was mailing it in at the end, but using 2004 as a mitigating factor for 2016 scores zero points with me.
  9. Truth. We aren’t “withstand[ing] the surge.” Instead we are “show[ing] them what they signed up for.”
  10. The eyes of Texas are ready to beat your ass all the live long day
  11. We may just get new data points for those wanting to continue this exciting line of inquiry. Strong will be starting year three of his USF Bulls stint, having created a 7-6 juggernaut out of the 11-2 dumpster fire he inherited. Meanwhile, to count to 7 wins for UNC prior to this year, you’d have to go all the way back to 11/5/2016. Can Mack stop the pain this year and manage 6 wins? Can Charlie? Tune in December 2019 for the answer.
  12. Go put on your best jorts, get that last can of spam out of your pantry, light the couch back up, and have yourself a rust-belt recruiting wake.
  13. I’ve never been bored enough to troll this place by pretending to be an aggy who is pretending not to be.
  14. Only he knows his motivation. My point was that he deliberately, assuming he was astute enough to understand the terms, signed a deal custom crafted to let USF and him take advantage of his former employer. The employer that had already paid him handsomely for what can honestly and without exaggeration be described as statistically the worst anyone has ever done in his former position. Over the course of more than a century. There is a word for guys who do this, and it is not “nice,” and it is not “good” (at least not in the sense of upright and virtuous). He’s gone, and I wish him well. I personally bought into the “good guy” image at one point. But we don’t really have objective evidence of his heroic virtue, or even exceptional virtue.
  15. LSU is going to be talented and dangerous. They have all the pieces on D needed to turn a game ugly. That said, their O, as noted above, lacks the brain trust or track record to suggest they are well equipped to keep up with a top 10 opponent if the D isn’t serving some turnovers. UGA turned it over twice to Texas and 4 times to LSU last year, taking none in return. Texas turned the ball over 3 times to Maryland and only 8 times since. Recent performance suggests that neither team is likely to give a lot away in that department. If the turnovers are few, as I suspect, and if I’m looking for a team that is more likely to manufacture some offense in the face of good D, Texas looks like the one. I think this game comes down to whether we see Maryland Sam or most-of-2018 Sam. The former means LSU wins, while the latter forces the Tigers to earn points, points too few in the end to get it done.
  16. I have some complaints about Herman and co, but one of them is not a pattern of lazy or inept evaluations. I’m interested to see how these early TE (/ATH) takes end up fitting in.
  17. And he structured his USF contract to fuck Texas. Because that is what good guys do when they give their best but come up just short of previous worst in history and so get fired.
  18. That’s enough talent to make them competitive if we play them again.
  19. Hard to say what the max muscle mass gain is while still “coloring inside the lines.” A middle-aged woman can put on about a pound of muscle mass in a month of training. Gains in muscle mass are dependent on a number of factors, many of which are only now being understood. Meal frequency in general is better higher, but each meal needs to trigger a leucine threshold, and the refractory period for the state induced is not entirely defined. Androgens like DHT boost weight gain, in some studies by as much as 1kg (2 lbs) per month. Teenage men have some of the highest natural androgen levels of anyone on the planet. Also, a 6’5” man with a wide frame has a lot more opportunity to increase muscle mass in absolute terms than a 5’3” woman. I could believe 4 lbs/month lean mass added, but would find over 10 straining credulity.
  20. They will go through the 5 stages of grief, mourning our win. They will get stuck on phase 1 of grieving the obvious implication.
  21. Demas has been pretty vocally pro-ag. It would be a little surprising but immensely entertaining to see him decommit. He wouldn’t ever affect us either way— I can’t imagine a true Fr WR would make much difference at LSU.
  22. Wait. What's that thing he keeps doing with his arms? One goes up on either side of almost every guy he hits, and they sort of clamp down.
  23. Landthieves will look good against all the filler on their schedule. They will roll into the OU game 5-0, highly ranked, and rested. After we slap them around, they will run off wins against WVU and KSU to perch themselves as the favorite to face us in the CCG for a rematch rematch. Their last 4 games might just trip them up (crosses fingers). I expect a good chance for each of ISU, Baylor, TCU, and OSU to be motivated and dangerous.
