  1. T5 Blocked kicks T8 Blocked punts 5 Net punting 13 Punt return defense 71 Kickoff returns 120 KO return defense I don’t recall our KO return defense being bad outside of the TCU opener, and our return game is somewhat effected by guys making bad and or desperate decisions to bring out kicks 7 yards deep when we’re losing. Pretty damn acceptable everywhere else.
  2. Nope. Our TE’s suck. Brewer blocks ok. Wiley is turrible. What the hell’s a Liebrock? Davis, Helm and Sanders are TBD. We’ve got one guy who might see minutes for anyone not named KU in this conference. The youngsters need more time in the oven.
  3. Our TE’s have sucked because our TEs suck, and outside of the OU game with a fumble, individual bad decisions to return a kick and Dicker mishandling a punt out special teams have been just fine.
  4. What about the stupid notion that this virus will at some point stop being spread. Too late. It’s here to stay.
  5. Actually, we’ve been rotating liberally regardless of ability or game situation all season.
  6. Did they play well for three quarters or is that just the same shitastic OSU offense that’s been running ineffectively all year early and often in an attempt to keep Sanders from torpedoing them and the game in the first 20 minutes of play? Their big adjustment seemed to be realizing that our backside defender would run himself out of position and Warren should just cut back against the grain. And then their run fakes had teeth. That’s not to excuse the offensive ineptitude that started as soon as Casey served up his pick 6, but that’s a bad Poke offense that will get them boat raced a few times this season.
  7. They’re out there. Whether they come or not is another thing, but you can look at OL units all across the nation and find 1-2 year rentals from the portal who start immediately. It doesn’t take just a complete world beater to consistently out perform some of what we’ve been watching of late. I agree with you in premise. I’d love for talented 4th year juniors who’ve been working out and with each other the entire time to be littering our two deep with more like them in the pipeline. They’re not there. We really, really don’t need to be mid OL gut and rebuild by the time we hit SEC play. So it’s BMFA (best mf’er available) time. Those guys will have to transfer in.
  8. I don’t think VY made us tough. His legs made us right. Finally we had a constraint on every play that defenses had to account for, and suddenly we could run the ball. Success breeding confidence. And then he’d take off on his own and convert 3rd and 30. Similarly, Colt was completing passes at nearly an 80% clip to two NFL WRs and an NFL 3rd down back. Defenses don’t have a lot of answers for that kind of accuracy to league quality players. Note how our 2009 offense was shit against any team with a pulse. But our defense was a top 3 unit. Which will also cure a lot of ills. Texas hasn’t had any kind of sustained success on both sides of the ball since 2008. 2018 being the closest example. Largely because our talent on at least one side of the ball has been dog turds. It’s hard to leadership your way out of ineptness. And that’s before you add in any retardery between the headsets. So here’s the 2021 edition. We actually have bodies in the OL room as opposed to 2014, but it turns out most aren’t very good and or we can’t translate our pass blocking schemes into something they can understand and execute. TEs largely suck. We have one WR and a good RB group. QB is incomplete at the moment given our general lack of coherent blocking. On defense we have a couple of plus players on the DL, no complete LB’s, no safeties and talented if then CB/NB group. We don’t have the dudes. We may not have the leadership, but I think Casey has enough. We just don’t have enough around him. I’m relatively confident that current Sark would run a train on the conference with the rosters we had from say 2000-09. PK could probably at least confer competence on those same defenses. And then you’d need that one guy in the locker room that the team believed in, and didn’t dare cross or let down. in short we need dudes. And then we need the dude. Hopefully the former can be addressed with the portal. Because we don’t have time for 3+ years of developmental time line.
  9. Don’t be too hard on Vol fans. Imagine that the very fine run we had from 1999-2009 never happened and was instead replaced with the shitastery we’ve been watching since...2009. And you’d have the Tennessee football program. We’re only 12 years into our lost decade. Their 30 year mark of gross incompetence is just around the corner. Some of our fans would have already jumped. And the ticket office would be awash in the feces of season ticket renewals eaten, digested and deposited in the return envelope. We’d probably have replaced the Hook’em Horns hand sign with a slash across the belly indicating Hari Kari.
  10. I have it on good authority that Cake lists him as one of their immediate influences.
  11. Imade had a hold called on him when he pulled on a PA pass. He reached out and grabbed the front of a player’s jersey somewhat redirecting him and let go. Yeah, it was a hold, but far more egregious examples are ignored on nearly a down by down basis.
  12. Didn’t he write a pretty prolific Mech Wars series or something? Not a one trick pony.
  13. I’m sure Shatner is and was a massive tool bag. Takei might need to step back and realize that he wouldn’t have anything approaching a career if it weren’t for his largely superfluous supporting role in the movies.
  14. Communication and stability for Jones who is struggling.
  15. Guy i used to work for upgraded his CL604. He has a Global XRS now. Quite the ride. I flew in the Challenger several times. Never got to fly in the Global. I did get a tour of it in the hangar. Same. Did the crew shuttle in a CL any number of times. Was only able to tour the Globals and 450s. The 650’s arrived after I had moved on. All of them were seriously plush. I am thankful that I don’t have to clean them.
  16. Challenger is what i would buy with my money. Great cabin, reliable, can go trans-continental, and can be bought for not too much. Still expensive to operate, but they all are. 350 is shit hot. We considered ditching all the Lears and going all CL because the operating costs were virtually identical once you got past the first hour, and it could do any mission in the fleet. That changed when we bought G’s and Globals, but still a sweet ride.
  17. Oh yeah. But some of them get wrapped around the axle about the most inconsequential BS. I recovered a Phenom trip where the owner was livid because he was getting picked up by a Lear. He had been told that the Phenis was the best thing since sliced bread. I started to tell him the flight time up to Sun Valley and he cut me off and told me the Phenom time. We had it beat by 20+ minutes. That shut him up. I tried to infer as politely as I could that he had chartered a cheap, slow POS. Seen plenty of large trips where the owners take a Challeger and relegate their kids to a Lear. Anyway, stretching that Honda jet made it look better.
  18. LOL. You think you’re getting laid after she’s gotten the offspring number she desires?
  19. Honda hasn’t figured out that looks right, flies right is a thing and that there won’t be a huge demand for their curious engine mounted design. It may be efficient and effective, but it’s ugly. Rich folk are surprisingly self conscious about their planes. I remember sitting in the hotel shuttle next to a NJ’s crew that had just been balled out by an owner because they had dared to recover his Citation X trip with a G-IV. Dipstick wanted to go across the country at .90 M and wasn’t pleased about having to do it at .81 in something that could comfortably house a basketball court.
  20. Sulu is fantasizing about riding a giant penis in space. Also, he may have interest in riding on Bezos’ rocket.
  21. Wing Attack Plan “R” for “Recruiting”. Need the coaches to do the Grand Tour and search high and low for prep ballers and portalers that can get this thing back on solid footing.
  22. I understand they’re more common based on the depth you’re able to achieve.
  23. How much embarrassment can you heap on a man already named Deterding?
  24. I don’t think Bama was offered the benefit of generous officiating in the Aggy game because Georgia is looking like they might be the best thing in college football at the moment. If the Tide were the clear number 1 with anyone else being a modestly interesting second then Bama would have gotten some very favorable calls. The SEC has just as many instances of enforcing narratives as any other league. They’re just not out and out boobs about the rest of officiating. And you’re right about OU. Had Texas come into the game 5-0, and OU limped in at 3-3 or something UT would have had more favorable reviews and calls. In particular, I know UT is about to get F’d unless they just completely roll the opponent anytime I see that roided up poindexter with glasses and his clown car crew spill out onto the field.
