  1. I don't know the actual water volume required, but I think most artificial surfaces are typically cleaned with water. I also don't know too much about the technological advancements in natural surfaces, but it seems that durability issues could be improved by growing the turf through a perforated sheet matrix. My guess would be that artificial surfaces would maximize the advantage of having the strongest, fastest, most sudden guys. I agree with the bottom line of getting/keeping whatever the HFC prefers.
  2. Mond is not a world-beater, but he is serviceable. He progressed from a 8/6 TD/INT ratio and 108.8 QBR in 2017 to 24/9 135 in 2018. I think part of that is maturation, part is the addition of Sternberger, and part may be attributable to other factors such as starting against more cupcakes and possibly (gasp) coaching. Losing Williams and Sternberger won't help him, but he does still have Ausbon as a target. OL coaching and hence protection, unfortunately, are likely to improve for him this year. By the time these 2020 guys are ready to sign their December LOIs, the season will have unfolded. I don't think aggy will have the offensive weapons to keep it as close against Bama this year, even playing at home. At Clemson will be a 4-alarm hazmat dumpster factory fire. Aggy is exactly the kind of unimaginative offense UGA was built to stuff when they ran into us-- I think their talent level will make that game ugly for aggy. The taste that will be in all those guys' mouths (recruits-- actual aggy has, shall we say, its own preference in this regard) will be the bayou beating over Thanksgiving weekend. The guys without options and the hard-core whoopsidaisies will stick, but some of the fence sitters, profiteers, and chosen-by-Saban will trickle out or have "tearful decisions" to choose someone else.
  3. I hate to be that guy and correct y'all, but it is spelled a-g-g-y.
  4. Don’t forget Leon > UT safeties.
  5. Yes, same basic story.
  6. I won’t repeat any poorly substantiated rumors about this guy. I will say that he is at risk never to get back to pre-injury performance levels. I don’t know whether he had anything else done at the same time he had labral repair (trimming out of any shredded bits, for example). Depending on whose numbers you trust, the return percentage at previous performance level is probably over 60, less than 90. I hope and think there’s a good chance we see him contribute good minutes for us, but this is an injury well known to shorten the average playing career. The biceps anchors on the labrum, and if the healing isn’t great from sewing it back down, that force can lead to long-term problems. In age 50+ patients, it is fairly common just to cut the biceps tendon rather than worry about trying to get the labrum well enough to anchor it.
  7. Sitting P5 assistant. BDF is pathetic and can't keep its coaches, who are awesome and worth stealing.
  8. This is something that may end up falling to the conferences to police. If the NCAA declines to place any limits, the P5 could, if the will existed, certainly tweak the intra-conference transfer restrictions already in existence to account for transfers in from other conferences.
  9. I'll take (d) rotator cuff repair for 200, Alex.
  10. Yeah, saying that replacing key players causes problems early in the season isn't evidence that you have hit upon a great computer model. A great model would at least account for the factors that a casually analytic fan would assess: whether the departing player performed better than his own predecessor, the circumstances under which he came to be a starter, whether he was playing out of position, whether he was playing hurt, a variety of measureables on his replacement, whether his replacement is an experienced backup, etc.
  11. Riley may have a blind spot with respect to his deficiencies because of their history together at Tech.
  12. Don't give them any extra excuses, ammunition, or assistance in jettisoning their bread load.
  13. More poop and needles on the ground in SF. Mrs. M.O. would rather skip our next trip than take another to the city by the bay.
  14. She seems Schmidtten. In deep Schmidt. Totally into his Schmidt. Ready to get Schmidt-faced with him. Enjoys the taste of her own vomit?
  15. Is it permitted to pick nits regarding diction if the word in question is used in praise of an academic program? "Better" is a comparative, not a superlative, and is best used when there is exactly one other against which comparison is made. In any event, hook'em, Shane! Thanks for all you have given to Texas Football.
  16. If they want to claim that all undefeated, untied seasons are national championship seasons, that would boost them from one in 1939 to 3 total. It would take us from 4 to 10. Our first championship would have been before they fielded their first team. Their most recent, by any reckoning, is 66 years older than ours.
  17. Dyslexics of the world, untie!
  18. Dude. Don't take out your anger on 5561 just because his avatar looks to you like this guy.
  19. Good that they are more responsive now. A little scary that their training/medical staff, from the part of the article I read, seems not to know hypoglycemia when they see it. Blood sugar is not some arcane new branch of medicine.
  20. CTJ is so pleasant now that he is taking Valium and SarCams.
  21. Great news!
  22. True, but if he consistently brought in lower-ranked classes than did most other schools in the conference for multiple years, the strength of the data increases a bit.
  23. Elko to Cincy would be good for the lulz, but I'd rather see Aranda move on if I got a vote.
  24. Good thing they have a 5* OT OG coming in to help out playing OT as a true FR. Should help them continue their dominance over the Bama, Clemson, LSU, and (now also UGA) DL.
