  1. Ketch assumes complete staff turnover. I’m assuming just Herman and a few of his less impressive staff members. Urban has already hired both of our coordinators at OSU, and would conceivably keep a few others. Either way it’s a shit ton of money that likely isn’t getting donated by anyone anytime soon short of Urban announcing on tv that he wants and will take the job, and CDC donning some deal with it sunglasses for the high and mighty portion of the school that thinks Texas is above all of Urb’s baggage.
  2. The cheapest option would be Hiring Urban so long as he retained much of this staff which is much of his former staff. But even then with Herm’s buyout, Urb’s new contract and some staff turnover you’re talking probably $30M+. So it’s a BMD led buyout or nothing, because the AD is likely tapped out.
  3. TCU gave up 7 sacks to ISU with their drop 8 defense. We managed a few pressures and a sack. Probably largely because Ass’ best answer to Big XII offenses is to hope our DL dominates while giving them precious few opportunities to do anything other than run straight ahead, and occasionally bring a 5th man with the MLB or a corner.
  4. Snowman football where QB’s don’t scramble for 40 yard TD’s as opposed to the track meets we run in this conference. The infuriating thing is that Ass had all offseason to watch film and realize that OC’s in this league will happily abuse the middle if you continue to line up unsound or have glacial LB’s. There’s no gentlemen’s agreement that between the hashes is a place where QB’s fear to tread or throw here.
  5. Utah had zero film of a CN run defense. Have to take that performance with a grain of salt.
  6. I was, uh, under the impression that Tom would be free to concentrate on game and clock management while making his head coachiness better if he were free from the rigors or offensive playcalling. Turns out he’s just shitty at everything flag me day related other than sole playcalling duties.
  7. They looked something far less than clinical in every year under the current staff not called 2020. They do look good this year.
  8. The sickening part was the third operable Hind that was destroyed by the truck driver more interested in hitting the porn store than observing overpass heights. Our plane had a mx issue that day and it was a cool way to kill of couple of hours.
  9. Visited with one of the proprietors once. They have two operable Hinds, a Cobra, a Huey, a MiG 21, some Hips and various other Russian trainers. It was very cool.
  10. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/marine-35-jet-crashes-clipping-wings-refueling-plane/story%3fid=73325534 F-35B and a C-130J bumped uglies while refueling. F-35 pilot ejected and his plane crashed next to the Salton Sea. Someone captured a video of that if anyone cares to look. The Herc shed props on 3 engines and made a successful belly landing in a field.
  11. It is still legal to play the occasional game with the DL isn’t it. Like an occasional stunt or twist? Or is rush straight ahead only some kind of new rule?
  12. It’s Yurcich’s offense using Herman’s verbiage for continuity (which probably wasn’t much of a stretch since Yurcich likely had the same issue at Ohio St as they transitioned from the Herman/Meyer offense to the Ryan Day attack). If the Okie St. offense is any sort of harbinger of what is in store then I’m not overly concerned with hot reads and route adjustments when defenses finally manage to bring some heat. The low number concept number approach paired with numerous formations looks complex to defenses, but results in the same reads being made time and again. And things like that Mesh/wheel play we ran has a lot of quick and dangerous answers available if the defense asks the wrong pressure question at the wrong time. Especially as our WR core returns to full health. My two cents anyway.
  13. I seem to recall the defense performing moderately well in the back half of the year while the offense diddled itself to low scoring losses.
  14. Not that unusual. Most prototypes cannibalize parts from existing planes for the stuff under the fuselage skin, and start using more personalized tech once the proof of concept and selection period is done. It also helps that the Air Force isn’t trying to work within the constraints of a plane that’s built with VTOL and carrier ops in mind.
  15. Yes. If anything a normal runaway trim situation is worse as the trim moves much faster than MCAS activations. In that respect MCAS trim activation is more insidious, because it’s much slower and possibly less noticeable.
  16. I fly the Airbus so it’s not something we specifically trained for. The unreliable airspeed scenario (what primarily led to the Ethiopian crash) is a memory item for us, and we don’t have pitch trim cut outs. We can get the plane into alternate flight law whereby any uncommanded pitch can be overridden by the pilot.
  17. I believe it was the same airplane with a different crew and the jumpseater recognized the situation and responded correctly. The first part may be off. The second part is correct.
  18. You have trouble carrying two thoughts at once. Boeing and the FAA are criminally negligent. The pilots responded poorly. The Lion Air crash, in particular, was very recoverable. I’m not arguing this again, because it’s clear that you’re incapable of reconciling the two ideas above.
  19. Life’s short. Being a bitch is optional. Both crews responded poorly on top of the sins of Boeing and the FAA. Responding in a manner consistent with uncommanded pitch procedures in the 737 fixes both situations whether they knew about the new system or not. Sorry that’s hard for some to understand.
  20. Probably a clogged fuel filter would be my guess. I’m sure that lights up something somewhere.
  21. Venomorphs. Guaranteed. Like a Xenomorph, but alphabetical classification indicating an earlier stage of development.
  22. It’s no Minotaur, but I would find this acceptable for part of the pregame crowd warm up.
  23. There’s some connection between Teebus, Elijah like calling down flames and footBaal worship, but I’m too lazy to make it.
  24. Helluva tractor fire apparently.
  25. UF’s stadium spontaneously combusts as 2020 rolls on.
