    All great pocket QB’s succeeded with superb OL play. That’s one of the most universal truisms to the sport. It’s in bad faith to hold that against any one of them in particular.

    That’s not why he always does it. That does factor in, but the chief question he used analytics to answer is “what are the probable consequences of missing a 4th down vs voluntarily forfeiting the ball via punt?” It’s the same question he examined for onside kicks: what are the likelihoods of the opponent scoring when starting the possession at midfield vs their own 25? The answers to the flip side of those questions are obvious: ”Do we stand a better chance scoring a TD if we go for it on 4th down or if we punt?” Duh ”Do we stand a better chance reacquiring the ball by onside kicking or deep kicking?” Again, duh. Every coach is tempted to do those things but they fall short of giving into that temptation precisely and exactly out of fear the tactic will not work AND that it will be costly. Kelley’s approach is simply a rejection of conventional cost/benefit dogmatism.

    I’ve been to only one UT game that wasn’t against OU since 2013 and that was the 2018 game against ISU. Combination of diminished fan experience plus new family life. But honestly I’m not terribly motivated to get back in it. I’ll go to the OU game til I die because I’ve already built up a rich history with it (this year is my 30th straight) and just love everything about that day win or lose.

    I mean he does go for it on 4th down more often than others, but that’s about it. He wasn’t an onside kick hound and his defenses were pretty basic.

    I started back up this year just because Sark is having his inaugural (that and it’s quicker now that I’m using a google book instead of screen capping and uploading it to that godawful photobucket). I quit doing it on the other sites because no matter what the outcome of the game happened to be, it would always turn into a bitch fest, mostly on HF from that little clique led by that douchebag horninchicago, about the metrics and how I was being too mean by using the red color…even in games where we were hitting like 39/50. That kind of tedious minutiae doesn’t seem to exist here, so I’m letting her rip again for now.

    Yeah that’s why I offered 0 commentary. Don’t get me wrong, this was the exact game that needed to follow Arkansas. But the thing is there are 9 left in the regular season, so [Winston]let’s not start suckin’ each other’s dicks quite yet.[/Wolfe]

    Not in the slightest. Just that they failed to convert.

    I mean when you make 10 turnovers fumbling or throwing interceptions, 1. it says absolutely nothing about onside kicks and 2. By the time you’ve made those 10, do the 6 failed 4th downs even matter? You realize that even if they wound up scoring TD’s on all 6 of those possessions; they’re still down by 30 points.
  10. hpslugga
    They effectively committed 16 turnovers 7 picks 3 lost fumbles 6 failed fourth downs Hard to accomplish anything with a performance that ghastly.
  11. hpslugga
    That was a beat-down not reflected by the score. After Rockwall got that pick six, they were outscored 45-10

    Well yeah I mean whoever she sees before she microwaves a cat at some stranger’s house

    Her neurologist has probably advised against it given the massive burden the sheer weight of conditioner imposes on a head that light.

    Only two words come to mind when seeing an ad like that: bewildering inanities

    Oh you are dead ass, 100% wrong to imply that they don't. They do. It's just that their idea of "solving" a problem is to look at it and ask, as Bill Maher put it, "what would a dick do?"
  18. hpslugga
    That and "it's their fault they weren't born in a white, Christian, wealthy family."

    Legally, yes. Practically? No. Newsom essentially won 2022 last night as well. The GQP cannot separate themselves from Trump. All Newsom has to do in his campaigning is sit back and watch whatever moron they trot out there to do nothing but trip over their own dick with a series of non-starters like “repeal the minimum wage.” EDIT: oh and as far as this French Laundry shit goes, that’s the bastard child of Barack Obama fucking Monica Lewinsky doggy style in the Oval Office without his jacket on while Benghazi, Willie Horton, Hunter Biden and the Clinton Foundation watched in some weird Eyes Wide Shut ritual.

    Legally, yes that's what needs to be done. Culturally, we should be so conditioned as to categorically reject such tactics as real men do not do those things. This supposed "grown man" is sitting there, in advance, letting the whole world hear his complaints and whines ahead of the results of the election. If any of you live in California and you happen to come across that loser in person, you should do your civic duty and throw tampons at him.

    Except when they argue in front of a judge that he is not to be taken seriously and he’s just an entertainer. And aren’t you glad that NewsCorp never contradicts itself?
  22. hpslugga
    I’m so surprised by this development
  23. hpslugga
    Derrick Henry has 9 carries for 8 yards. Haven’t watched a single play of that game but holy shit is that bad.
  24. hpslugga
    Not a fan. Not saying it’s inherently bad, just that if I were in the position I wouldn’t do that.
  25. hpslugga
    Oh we’ve turned in single digits before. Last night was bad but far from the worst since 2010
