I'm feeling nostalgic. Let's review the statements by a couple of Republican senators after the nomination (and subsequent stonewalling) of Merrick Garland, referring to their plans going forward:
. . . just in case any of you right-wing patriots wants to make the case that the proximity to the November elections was the overarching reason for refusing to consider Merrick Garland.
Oh there's no question it wasn't about that. McConnell kept invoking "the Biden Rule" 1) as if that were even a real thing and 2) as if he was rendering what Biden actually said. It's just classic straw-grasping.

Surprised that TCU didn't try more. They ran it once with Reagor I think, and Gary Johnson sniffed it out easily.
Yeah that's not gonna be a year long issue. Maryland basically ruined it for future UT opponents in that the Jet Sweep won't be nearly as effective. That was just one of those Week 1 things that an underdog opponent got away with.

HP 49 - Bryan Adams 0, game called after end of 3rd Q. BA had -2 yards total offense, HP only needed 293
Over the HP radio call, the weekly trivia question was asked "when was the last season HP played in a district with DISD teams and who was President?" The answer, of course, was 1957 and Eisenhower. Since then, DISD had developed its "understanding" with the UIL that "the void" would be kept out of their districts. I know BA isn't the best of the DISD bunch by any means, but now y'all know why that was done.

That article was written by someone with the intellect of a 13-year old male...which is the exact appeal of today's so-called "conservative" movement.

During the year they put up big offensive numbers. You can’t look at just the championship game.
Yep. That argument you addressed is nothing but a canard that was offered by those resisting the reality that the spread was taking over college football. "Oh but they only scored 13 points!!! That doesn't count!!!!" Ok, so where was Virginia Tech when that was going on? Where was Nebraska? Where were those other "pro-style" or "smashmouth teams" the night OU beat FSU? Their seasons were finished and they played in lesser bowls. It's just textbook straw-grasping and goalpost-moving. In fact, the same people were making that argument against the entirety of the spread in general...then Texas won it all in 2005...and then Florida in 2006 and 2008...and then Auburn in 2010...and then Florida State in 2013...and then every single team that's participated in the CFP (sans Michigan State that one time Bama beat them 38-0...cute) has not only run its primary offense out of some sort of spread concept, but they also go HUNH, and then finally those blowhards had to confine their bullshit to just the Air Raid because those guys have been on a dry spell since 2000.

Can someone explain, in layman’s terms, the difference between the air raid vs the veer and shoot vs the whatever else offense we haven’t been able to stop in forever?
Air Raid: run game is largely based on audibles, it's largely based on draw/trap/shovel (anything that defeats an overzealous pass rush), passing game is the basis of the offense and incorporates a lot of screens and quick release plays (swing, slant, etc) to mitigate the rush and replace the running game.
V&S: Run game is the basis has a lot of attacking blocking schemes (as opposed to draw/trap/shovel which is based on what used to be called catch-blocking), has a lot of nuances, all of the runs have a play-action package, the run sets up the pass (i.e. the QB is usually afforded extra time assuming the run game succeeds) and the depths of the routes are generally longer.
Super laymen's terms?
Air Raid: Pass to set up the run

Briles was not air raid. The veer and shoot is primarily a run first, everybody go deep, play action pass and RPO offense. Air Raid is far more dink & dunk.
Yeah, this. And to the person who thought he was being clever when he said that Briles was part of the Leach tree because he was an assistant under him, Manny Matsakis was there for that exact time period (2000-2002). Being part of the so-called Leach Tree does not necessarily mean you run the Air Raid.
If you just go to the Air Raid wikipedia page, you'll see an impressive list of names, but some of the names are only there because they worked with Mumme and/or Leach at one point in their careers. I'm gonna change the order to clump all the No's together.
Mark Mangino-Yes. Air Raid with an added emphasis on the run game
Ruffin McNeil-Yes. He's just a DC, but yeah he brought Riley to OC his offense during his failed tenure at ECU.
Lincoln Riley-Big Yes. He has an added emphasis on the run game, but I imagine Leach would run that offense the same way if he had that talent pool.
Sonny Cumbie-Big Yes.
Graham Harrell-Yes
Seth Littrell-See Harrell
Eric Morris-Yes
Josh Heupel-Yes
Kliff Kingsbury-Uh Yes
Mike Jinks-Yes
Chris Hatcher-I've never seen them but he has ties to Valdosta so I'm guessing Yes?
Dana Holgorsen-Yes
Sonny Dykes-Yes
Jay Norvell-Meh. Depends on where he is.
Clay McGuire-He's never been in an HC or OC role so I dunno why he's included
Dave Aranda-See McGuire
Jeff Casteel-Again, see McGuire
Matt Mumme-What do you think?
Kevin Sumlin-No. He's gotten away from it going back to Case Keenum. His offense has a lot more in common with that Mike Gundy RPO stuff than Mumme/Leach. Honestly I think the only reason he's listed there is because he coached under Stoops at one point.
Art Briles-No. Veer & Shoot. Completely different offense, and here's how you can tell: Mike Leach would never run it...ever.
Greg McMackin-No. When he took over at Hawai'i, they essentially kept running June Jones' offense.
Manny Matsakis-Hell No. Triple Shoot. It's basically the Flexbone with a Mouse Davis play action passing game. Insane system that works wonders when you have a true dual threat QB and 2 hybrid WR/RB types
Tony Franklin-No. The System
Robert Anae-Fuck no. Did anyone remember those BYU teams Texas played in 2013-2014? That was him! And they ran the ball 132 times in those two games.
So between 1/4th to nearly half those guys (depending on how you'd classify those guys that don't have any decision making power in terms of offensive scheme or have had ambiguous careers a la Norvell) don't even belong there in terms of running the Air Raid, and Art Briles is definitely one of them. And he didn't "use that system to make his own," either. His offense was established before he barely knew who the fuck Mike Leach was. -
It's a compound issue that requires multiple thoughts. Simple minds seek simple solutions/answers, but that's just now how a lot of things work and this is a classic case.
Is the media absolutely ridiculous? In many ways, yes.
Do they choose to include/exclude things based on considerations like clicks, advertisers, ratings, etc? Yes
Have they effectively enabled certain evils to exist in the world either by refusing to report them or reporting them from a severely slanted perspective (a la the New York Times/AP's coverage of Indonesia's invasion of East Timor in the 1970's)? Yes, they have.
Does that make them, in any way, an "enemy of the people?" Fuck off with that silly noise.
Even if they were "enemies of the people," are people like Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Milo, et al the seldom chosen white knights worthy to fight these enemies? No. They don't care about the media in the abstract. All Donald Trump cares about w/r/t the media is how nice they are to him. His ego is that fragile and his intellect is that shallow. All Bannon/Limbaugh/Coulter care about w/r/t the media is that they don't like the fact that their silly-assed right wing nonsense isn't propagated 24/7 on networks that aren't named Fox News.
So even if the media is "the enemy of the people," as only Donald Trump and his sycophantic, suck-up minions say that it is, they're perhaps the very last people on Earth who could right that wrong. What they want out of the media isn't for a wrong to be righted; it's for a wrong to be even more wrong.

UNT, this year's UCF?
As far as them going unbeaten? Could be. I honestly don't see a loss on their schedule now that they've cleared the best of it. Perhaps Southern Miss could disrupt shit for them (they always have a decent amount of talent relative to their conference), but other than that it looks like smooth sailing as long as everyone stays healthy. I will say, however, that among teams who've gone unbeaten in the 1998-pres era, this would be the most underwhelming undefeated team ever in terms of the schedule. Seriously, this is even worse than Hawai'i in 2007.

What's particularly amazing is that it looks like that's how the play is supposed to be run. Like they just decided to Trump the roolz and see if they'd get away with it
