I dont know, I grew up in central Texas and spent a decade in Galveston after college. Now live on the Rolling plains.....30 degrees in Galveston when it occurs is brutal....I don't get bitterly cold unless it gets under 10 degrees up here unless it rains...wet cold is miserable wherever.... I was in New Orleans when it froze about 6 or 7 years ago....that was miserable. North of the 20s is windbreaker weather without humidity.
Trim your trees. I am betting yiu have too much shade for the grass to grow.
There is no grass in Texas that will grow well in less than 6 hours of sunlight.
Zoysia or San Augustin varieties are your best bets.
Centipede grass prefers acidic soils and higher rainfall. If you don't live in East Texas forget it.
Buffalo grass is great if you are in a dry enough area that i5 doesn't get out competed by KR bluestem, dallis grass, vassey grass, Bermuda, etc.
In areas that get over 30 inches of rainfall it's often too slow growing. The plus is you only have to mow it about once every 6 weeks or so.
It won't grow at all in areas that aren't full sun.
One of Mack's classes...maybe his 1st was 100% Texas players.
In other news if we end up not getting him Carlton is in the lead for the " if only the coaches had prioritized him angst in 9 months"
Sure there is read progression....but it is also obvious that QBs feel more comfortable throwing to certain guys for various reasons. Read progression would actually mean more of spreading the ball around as a qb work though their reads, not statistically obvious patterns of favoritism from one QB to the other with basically the same receiving corp.
A lot of QBs tend to have receivers they are more prone to throwing to for a variety of reasons. For various reasons Ewers was much more prone to go to Moore then say Bond. Whereas Arch looked at Bond and Wingo way more than Moore. I think Quinn also showed a greater preponderance to hit the Tight end than Arch. Player preferences, trust, whatever.
Just look at Billy Pittman. He was our leading receiver in 2005 with 750 yards. In 2006 he barely broke 400 yards and in 2007 he didn't even have 100 yards receiving. Some of that I'm sure was talent acquisition, but a lot of it was also QB preference and comfort from Vince to Colt.
Some QBs spread the ball around to everyone pretty equally, but most have definite preferences.
This. Drew and I were same class. We weren't friends, but for him being at Westlake and me playing at a rural 3a school, our paths crossed alot.
He was being recruited(not heavily, but recruited) by us and A&M and various other schools. I want to say Michigan or someone had started talking to him right before he blew out his knee, then they all disappeared. Remember, blowing out a knee was still a pretty bad recovery back then.
Look at his Bama teams, his offenses need a running back that the defense has to truly respect. We didn't have that this year. A mobile QB might help, but a true threat at running back who can pick up a pass rush is the bigger issue this year.
