  1. TO is terrible at identifying his best players and best alignments before the season and has to luck into something mid season that works. It’s Davisian level personnel management and evaluation. We flat out stumbled into the lightening package part way through 2017. It took about half of 2018 to quit playing that passive ISU tribute defense, and only 9 games into 2019 before Todd clues into the fact that we have great athletes that suck at zone.
  2. Deep in his bones Tom is still a Neanderthal, meathead football coach who’d prefer to run the ball for three yards, and then punt to to play defense. And he reverts to it often as though the dogmas he learned in his football infancy haven’t been warped by modern offensive football.
  3. Shit’s Borked
  4. I mean, we were stupid enough to do it last week until saved by penalty.
  5. Juwan Mitchell try to cut underneath anything in a rat role is painful to watch. He looks stiff and slow doing anything other than attacking the LOS.
  6. The pitch trim, which moves the horizontal stabilizer on the tail decides for one reason or another to move on its own. It’s kinda what happened in the MAX crashes.
  7. To put that in perspective an A321 with a set of V2500's burns 15 gallons per minute. Or 1.73 gallons per mile. With the newer geared turbofans that same plane is burning something like 12-13 gallons per minute.
  8. Note to HornSports. We beat KU.
  9. Eventually what’s going to happen is you’re going to get fired Todd. And you might end up taking the staff down with you.
  10. I’ve been in E some recently. It looks like they’re slowing renovating it. But it’s where all the non AA airlines park at their DFW station, and they’re not interested in dumping a lot of money into it. And it’s a Spirit base. They’re definitely not dumping money into it.
  11. Yup. And now you know why you had to taxi to the east side from 13R. Although, it’s probably toss up between that and the B gates for taxi time so long they don’t send you around the north side to get to the island of misfit toys.
  12. 50-50 in my experience. AA gate agents are the worst pilot hating SOB’s I’ve ever seen. You mean to tell me that taxi as fast as you can walk doesn’t apply to a Boeing?
  13. It’s my understanding that AA is trying to hem in NK at DFW by limiting gates. I think they refurbed the “E” island and put a bunch of RJ’s there with push times matching NK’s so as to gum up the works. Airlines are not a high margin industry. Right now even financially strapped companies are able to play reindeer games to ward of competitors. That’ll change at the end of this up cycle. They don’t care if it inconveniences their passengers to do it.
  14. Exceed scheduled block time for the day and usually a pilot contract states that you’ll get paid the higher of block time, guarantee or duty rig. So long taxi times can lead to increased pay.
  15. Also, it seems like when EWR and TEB are landing south. E'erbody landing south. Ah runway 19 at TEB. Mind the towers on right base and don’t overfly the hospital. Not as fun as the ILS 6 circle to 1 though.
  16. Yeah, but the pilots might be over blocking and getting paid. You can thank AA for that btw. They’re trying to squeeze out Spirit by gumming up the alley.
  17. Easier to get more traffic in and out. One plane can be on the takeoff roll while another is still on the landing runway.
  18. It’s LGA. They’re entire setup is to make things hard. Interested to see the new terminals. That place is Mos Eisley right now.
  19. Exactly. The game has passed the Chiz by. His 4-3 Tampa 2 defense with 3 LB (one or two of them covering today’s slots WR’s) would bring a special kind of hilarious failure only duplicated by our current DC. And Vance Bedford. And Manny Diaz.
  20. Tempo and Sam's legs stir our offensive drink, but Coach Runny Eggs is trying to protect his defense by playing Big 10 offense. His insistence on "complimentary offense" tells me that he still doesn't fully comprehend the kind of conference that we're in, and that great offense and so, so defense usually wins the day over slow ass offense protecting an atrocious defense that managed to be so, so for 3 quarters.
  21. Yes. They had 223 yards rushing after we gifted them extra possessions through turnovers etc. it’s not like we couldn’t stop them all game. We couldn’t stop from turning the ball over.
  22. That game is consistently misremembered. CU only had like 330 yards of offense, scored on defense and was gifted extra possessions by our turnovers and Dak Pearson getting mindless on punt. They won. We flat gifted it then.
  23. Technically, it’s referred to as the CJK5H
  24. It’s like the Tampa 2, but upside down.
  25. Okie press, zebra bracket, no back line. Break.
