  1. You mean this quarterback? https://texaslonghorns.com/sports/football/stats/2010/kansas-state/boxscore/1585
  2. I remember my dad and I were at the Spring Game in 2010, and after watching our running backs repeatedly run into the offensive line at the line of scrimmage, I looked at my dad and say, "Oh boy." Mack tried to overcorrect after losing to Alabama in the title game. If we had a competent SEC-style running attack in the 2009 season, we still probably would've lost that game because we lost one of our best QBs in history in the first offensive series, and we just couldn't rush our way out of that unfortunate situation. As much grief as Greg Davis got during his tenure in Austin, I always felt like he was the scape goat for 2010. Mack's fuckery with the offense tanked our season and made Muschamp's job a fucking nightmare.
  3. Exactly. Mack tried to shove a power running SEC-offense down Greg Davis's throat, after an erosion of talent on the offensive line and skill positions. Our defense wasn't a world beater like the year before. But our new offense was abysmal, and Mack was in full FYPM mode by that time.
  4. I don't see anything wrong with that, even in the cutthroat world of college coaching. As a comparison, my Marine father missed at least a third of my childhood, because of deployments that were for periods of a year, six months, eight months, four months, etc., and even when he was home he was gone for work before I woke up, got home late, and worked most Saturdays. He also was on a ship in the Pacific when my kid brother was born. He made those sacrifices because he loved and believed in his job, but he still has some regret of how much time he missed when we were kids at home. So I get why Muschamp hit pause on his career. You don't get that time with your kids back. And while all things being equal I'd prefer a new DC hire who wasn't coming off of a gap year, it didn't seem that hard for Greg Robinson to shake off the rust when he had to take over for Manny _iaz in 2013. Our defense wasn't exactly elite that year, but the transformation of our defense when Robinson took over was night and day. I'd probably prefer that PK have stayed, but what do I know, and I'm sure I'm missing some behind the scenes discussions about why he's departing. In any event, he's gone, and programs lose coordinators all the time for all sorts of reasons. So if we need a new DC, I sure as hell like the Muschamp hire.
  5. And that was against our Akina secondary.
  6. I haven’t been there in years, but Upper Crust used to make my favorite chicken salad sandwich in town.
  7. “Can I wash your back?” ”I already washed my back.” ”Can I wash your front?”
  8. I gave money to that guy, and now consider it a campaign contribution.
  9. Co-ed?
  10. One of the coolest stories, bro on Surly.
  11. Major. College. Job.
  12. Very interesting. Nothing will happen.
  13. Fired, and primed for a book deal.
  14. But his wife is.
  15. The pics look great!
  16. It’s the difference between paper law and trial law!
  17. True, and it was a great ending.
  18. Yes. It's like New Coke.
  19. Also Fox News: "Clearly the result of Biden-era health policies."
  20. He contributed to the story, as did Billy Crystal, but I believe Ephron got sole screenwriting credit.
  21. He also directed and produced Misery. Not quite sure of the criteria for a "[insert name] film." If it's all of writing, producing, and directing, then no, When Harry Met Sally is not a Rob Reiner film, as he directed and produced, but did not write. Stand By Me was one of my favorite films from my adolescence. A Few Good Men and When Harry Met Sally are two of my favorite films of all time, and my wife and I frequently quote from both of them. Horrible news. He seemed like one of the more lovable people in Hollywood.
  22. I'm surprised Michigan hasn't at least let Elko beg for the job.
  23. Yes, by all means, let's hire another "Michigan Man" who was part of the Harbaugh machine.
