  1. IDK, maybe 12 personnel makes sense with a inexperienced qbs, an elite rb, and inconsistent wr play but I'm not too thrilled about the idea of Brewer playing a big role in our offensive identity next season. Maybe he's become a really good blocker and at a lighter weight he's moving better but the guy hasn't shown D1 athleticism since his freshman year injury.
  2. FIFY (allegedly)
  3. Christ, Watson is not over-rated. On a trainwreck of a team that dealt with WR injuries all year and went through a coaching change midseason he put up: He's not a stats on a bad team guy either, he can absolutely carry a team to wins and has. He's won the division 2 out of his 4 seasons in the league on teams coached by BOB for fuck sake.
  4. I see the Manziel a bit. Maybe they share some regional crossover between their Armenian/Lebanese genealogy.
  5. There is a joke to be made here about Epps misusing his size but I can't quite get there.
  6. Yeah hopefully it won't come to that this season. The IT practice report mentioned that Parr has been splitting snaps with the 2s. Once the season starts Kerstetter will probably be the 1st backup at several spots, including center anyway. We should have enough versatile guys that will be cross trained that our 8th or 9th best lineman won't be needed much.
  7. We just might have that
  8. Owens to LB needed to happen both for the good of the team and Owens but we needed buy-in from him. From the looks of social media looks like he he's pumped about it and he's getting lots of positive feedback on it so that's awesome all around. If Schooler is looking passable at safety it helps absorb the hit but things still look a little thin there. I haven't heard a word about Estelle at WR, wonder if there is a chance he'd flip back. I guess they could also use the loser of the nickel battle (Adimora/Cook) at safety in a pinch.
  9. Going off the shaky premise that FCB knows what the fuck he's talking about: A fresh start with a new coaching staff, injuries creating 1st team opportunities, and wr friendly offense set this spring up perfectly for Washington to finally break out. I had really high expectations for him but we are getting close to the point where it is just not going to happen if things don't start clicking soon. Johnson already running ahead of Kitan Crawford would be pretty surprising.

    High

    I’ve been taking a 1:1:1 5mg THC:CBD:CBN gummy and it helps me sleep a lot. As I was falling asleep my wife was watching something in the other room and I could hear the dialog but it sounded garbled and I couldn’t make out the words. It sounded like Twin Peaks when they talk backwards. Woke up to this in my notes app: The fact that I thought it was worthy to jot down right before falling asleep confirms 5mg THC is plenty to get me high.
  11. In the limited time we've seen Ghirmai get, has he been a disaster after the ball is snapped? The main issue with him is he's a center who's terrible at snapping the ball, which is a problem, but I don't have a good idea how much of a liability he's been on the few plays where the qb has gotten the ball normally. Shotgun snaps would seem to be one of the more teachable/improvable skills on the OL.

  13. Apparently you keep up a little better than Ketch.
  14. Strong jersey mobster look.
  15. Can probably add Arkansas too. They are improving but their huge 3 win showing in the SEC last season was on the heels of a 20 game losing streak in conference.
  16. Seems like a pretty reasonable trade for both sides to me. As good of a return that the Jets could hope for and there is a ton of upside for the Panthers. Darnold is only a few years removed from being a can't-miss prospect and he's still really young, only 23. Younger than Joe Burrow. Failing with Adam Gase and the Jets doesn't necessarily make you a bust. He'll be put in a much better position to succeed with Rhule and Joe Brady.
  17. Classic. According to wikipedia he's up to 14 kids with 8 different women. 3 since having a vasectomy. Not sure Jimbo's analyst salary is going to cut it.
  18. I'm not really following your point I guess. No, we aren't OSU, Bama, Clemson. That's kind of the problem, most of us believe with better coaching for the last decade we would be. Or hell, at the very minimum be the Georgia to OUs Bama in conference (drinks bleach). Not every school can say that. Iowa State can get a great coaching performance out of Matt Campbell but he can't turn them into a perennial contender. I just don't see parity as a good descriptor of college football. I guess you could say the Big12 has some, OU at the top, and then almost everyone else bunched around the middle with Kansas on the bottom. That isn't a function of those middle teams being especially dangerous compared to the past, it's mainly because Texas has fucked around for a decade and wastes talent year after year. Even as bad as things have been we have recruited significantly better than everyone in the conference every year (save OU), same as always. The Big12 significantly easier now than it was in 2008 when we had to play 4 consecutive top 10 teams in conference. We still have enough of a talent advantage against most teams on the schedule to expect a fast turnaround on the field if Sark is the real deal.
  19. How are you measuring parity exactly? The same program wins the Big10, SEC, ACC, and Big12 pretty much every season. The playoff has been some combination of Bama, OSU, Clemson, and then a 4th team that rotates in every year. I'm not seeing it. The teams with the most talent have been overwhelmingly successful.
  20. Did we fake a punt on the Holton Hill reception? I don't remember that at all. Who would have thought we had two NFL tight ends on that team. Certainly not the guy who kept trying to play one of them at QB.
  21. Awesome, Hook'em Royal. Hope he gets a big opportunity soon.
  22. Typically having space for social distancing has not been a problem at our spring game, even pre-pandemic.
  23. Incredible. He's untouchable for NewsMax and OAN so I guess he'll just have to stick around and be a member of the United States House of Representatives.
