  2. Our lack of pressure is generally by design. We’ve decided to keep offenses in front of us between the 20’s and play defense that suffices, but doesn’t necessarily satisfy. Its a defensible strategy given our injury situation, youth and top 20 offense.
  3. Their DT Sills was eating our interior line alive. So naturally we doubled down on running at him. And we basically did absolutely nothing to try and mitigate it except more IZ right into it. Herman was being very stubborn yesterday. We had numbers time and again to one edge of the defense, and time and again we ran away from it. Some of our bigger runs were to that edge when the RB started inside, and then cut back out when the only edge defender within 10 yards flowed inside with the action of the play.
  4. It’s possible. It’s also possible that TD spelled backward with an extra ā€œMā€ added spells DMT.
  5. I looked it up in the logbook. 5TE0 and now known as Comanche Ranch. It's part of the Friedkin Family Warbird collection which is housed there and has showings in Chino.
  6. No, that was the name of the private airport that held them. Or it was. It's been too long and I may have misremembered, but it's a private strip with two hangars chock full of flyable warbirds near Del Rio. It's actually close enough that you have to be cognizant of the MOA's, and the UPT boys at Laughlin are aware of warbirds doing aerobatics near their playground.
  7. As a tangent to that Latech needed OT to put Rice away last week.
  8. They have one of those down at King Ranch. Looked like they were refurbing it when I saw it. I asked if that place, it’s a private airport, was where folks could pay to fly a warbird. The answer was ā€œ No. These are ours.ā€
  9. Good catch. I made an assumption based on the nature of the advert and the B-17 appearing to be a G model.
  10. I think the boys out at King Ranch have one, but I don’t recall if it is flyable. They have enough operable warbirds out there to start a small war.
  11. Bitches are catty. They hate her plenty for being better shaped from the neck down.
  12. Bitch got out bikinied and culled the competition.
  13. The implication is regular rigorous, standardized training versus guys getting together and flying their favorite warbird when they have some time off and their number is called to get some seat time. A guy worked with at my prior stop was one of the ones who flew FiFi the B-29 from time to time. Now he was a seasoned expert on the CL604 and a well respected pilot. But you have to ask how much training and experience was he getting on the Superfort? It’s probably a valid concern. I flew three aircraft simultaneously in my freight days in the PA31, Be99 and SA227. I mostly flew the 227, and hated the 2-3 times a year where I’d get thrown into one of the other planes because I just wasn’t nearly as sharp in them.
  14. I know you were in the Continental Army at the time, but you might be able to verify. 😁 Also, that might be relevant if Old Ironsides was sunk, then salvaged from the Atlantic and put back into sailing shape.
  15. Texas Raiders in the Don’t Mess With Texas anti littering campaign was pure genius.
  16. I understand your point fine. My counterpoint to that was and is that there are many examples non flying warbirds all over this nation. We don’t need to preserve the flyable ones so that there will be some left for future generations to enjoy on static display. There are tons of them, for example, sitting on poles outside of the restaurant chain I mentioned above. If a B17 were something like a space shuttle or SR-71 where very limited examples were ever produced and fewer still yet exist then I would agree with the contention that we should park and preserve them. But that’s simply not the case. They are old machines, but are generally lovingly and painstakingly cared for. Sometimes they crash. Sometimes people are killed. That’s terrible, but it would be a disservice to future generations to ground them.
  17. I don’t really care how much is original. I’d love to see Glacier Girl one day.
  18. I’d expound upon that a bit. Should we keep all classic cars off the road after there’s a crash that kills the occupants? Those happen all the time. I can see an old Lightening, Jug or Mustang at any time outside of a 94th Aero Squadron restaurant let alone a museum. To see one in motion? Completely different. There’s a reason that UP spends considerable money restoring and operating 844, their Challenger or 4014. Living history matters. It teaches and inspires. And sometimes it ends in tragedy. Such is life.
  19. I wouldn’t pay a nickel to go up in one. I get enough flying in as it is, but a video hardly suffices for or replaces seeing one actually fly. Seeing a repainted husk on a pedestal or in a museum just isn’t the same.
  20. May have had to do with the Malzahn offense which is very run centric and has a lot of window dressing creating a lot of looks for defenses which in turn creates a lot of looks for OL countering those defenses.
  21. Not to preserve it in flying condition it isn’t. There’s not a shortage of B17’s sitting around to be looked at. Seeing them fly. That’s a different matter.
  22. I think that’s the conundrum. They keep flying them to give rides to raise money so that they will be around for future generations.
  23. I wonder if he checked his fly when he was asked.
  24. This. I tuned in to watch a Louisville game when Bridgwater was there, and wondered what kind of hot garbage I was watching on offense. Then Watson’ s name was mentioned. Oh. Now I get it. I knew Chuckles was in trouble when he decided to bring that tard to Austin to run a West Coast offense in college. I’ll never forget Watson saying out loud in a press conference that it would only take players 3 years to run the plays exactly as they’re drawn up. In college. Where the roster churns over every 3-5 years.
  25. Say what you will about the tenets of institutionalized rape. At least it’s an ethos.
