I can see us using a lot of screens and jet sweeps with Bolden .....gimmicky type runs early in games to open up lanes for our smaller backs to run vs less occupied boxes. We'll have to run up the gut no doubt at times, but losing our big back (Baxter) and now depth (Clark) will force our hand a bit. With speed to burn on O, we'll see a lot of designed runs in space and then let Blue take his shots using tempo. The 4th and 1 or less than 5 where we go for it will be something to see how Sark handles. Baxter housed the one vs KSU, running through an arm tackle with a quick cut . If Gibson (he has the size) can prove to be durable, that will help tremendously. Loved Baxter, but IIRC he got hurt on his first carry. Granted he came back vs Bama the following week.

Torture the numbers, they'll confess to anything.

Not great at comparing, but I would think College Trent Richardson would be an apt comparison. From memory Richardson was a bit heavier 20lbs maybe , but about the same height and body type. The video on Gibson is not great b/c he was playing at IMG and tough to know what the competition was but seems like a similar build to Trent Richardson from his Bama days

yep, Trent Richardson starter kit. Also, i see a lot of Brooks running style in Wisner, from the limited reps on tape at least.

Gibson...next man up

Just looked it up, knew nothing of this story. Finishing up March by Geraldine Brooks at present, but I may read this one next. I seem to recall an older movie about a Belgian outpost overrun by locals and the battle that ensued, that may have been loosely tied to this era/region. Cant say for sure though.

he also hurt his shoulder on the first run of his career, a nice 20 yarder, went down hard on the sideline and i think may have missed the rest of the game.

I can see Bolden lining up in the backfield some or running the orbit route ala Davantae Smith. With reports of his quickness and suddenness, that little route Bijan would run out in the flat is going to be deadly.

Pretty hot for a Mayor.

I see your points for sure. It's a play on words, obviously....6th St Journal-Wall St Journal. Im sure the business end of the board is at odds with the charm end of an "if you know you know" conundrum. In my day 6th st was legendary and outside of the several niche bars, it was the go-to, though I likely skew older than the avg Surler. I would imagine as we attract lurkers from the SEC, they will think its a bar/entertainment forum and then see its more about business and move along. I dont think, and i could be wrong, many SEC football types will come back to this site for non-football /recruiting, but I know that's the point....to create engagement across a spectrum of disciplines and thus retention. We all get it, but we know the history of ATX and will stay here b/c the content across the site is outstanding...I may be in the minority, but I rarely use Reddit, as I can get all I need right here.

FWIW I like the name 6th Street Journal.

You've probably not wandered over to the "Id Pee in Her Butt" thread i take it.

May not be germane to the question, but financial literacy is a problem for many. The old adage is more people spend time on planning their vacation than planning their financial future. My feeling is people are intimidated by the markets and maybe a bit apathetic about finances. WIth the run up in home values, people think they have it made since their home is worth so much, so they spend all of their disposable and dont take the time to study. I really like this board and dont get over here as much as other boards, but i always come away with better perspective. My personal top board list, approximately (though you may have better stats on me than me): 1. Daily Texan 2. Football goes to #1 in season 3. Recruiting 4. Baseball in season 5. Movies/6th st/travel

Im 54 and been pounding Index funds since i got out of Texas. I didnt start being able to save money until I was 25, so figure appx 30 years of Index buying and holding. Almost entirely S&P 500, with the exception of 10% of the nest egg in cash (probably more than what is recommended). The strategy has served me well; without going in to too much detail, we should be fine. Buy and hold, dollar cost averaging, only time I sold was right after 9/11 and I was late to sell. Got it all back of course. Fortunately my company has a defined pension...that plus SS and savings and wife is realtor (she'll do that forever).... trying to go another 7 years before heading to the house. I think the Boglehead strategy is not sexy and wont win the dinner conversation, but i come from the millionaire next door ethos where its best to sit back and let others discuss the next big stock pick and bide my time. Full disclosure, I will say i have one IRA from my wife's previous employer where i own microsoft, Meta, apple , amazon and AMC (got caught up in the meme options mania), plus an inherited IRA with Vanguard in their inflation protected bond fund tied to 10 yr.... been a dog lately but with the 10yr under 4, it should start a price increase trend. Other than that, im all S&P. Good luck!

Dotard in 3...2...1... "..they were released b/c they know im going to win"

Outstanding news. Welcome home!! https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/prisoner-swap-russia-us/index.html

We've had our moments. At ISU comes to mind, nice road win. 4th quarter Bama game says hello, 7 minutes of smash mouth to ice it. We won two other games last year with Malik Murphy at QB1...the OL played pretty damn good ball in both of those games. Sugar Bowl vs UGA was a great game for the OL , as was 49-0 OU. And thats just off the top of my head. Our OL play has been markedly better in the Sark era and Herman had a couple decent lines all things considered

Wow, this the Red Wedding Israeli-style.

Body like Tarzan, played like Jane

Agreed. The college basketball/March Madness references were funny/cringy. It comes up twice at least, with highlights and actual game footage. They are trying to pass it off as right in the middle of the sweet 16, but clearly one of the games they show is the SEC tournament, then later they show a game @ Duke, and its clearly a Duke home game. Kind of one Easter egg they might should have covered their tracks a little better.

Does flav have that kind of disposable coin? Last i heard of him he was on MTV celebrity version of big brother, trying to bang Sly Stallone’s ex, Bridgette Nielson.

Yeah she's a super talent, have always liked her. Not digging the Peyton/Tirico/Clarkson team. About as exciting and engaging as watching paint dry.

i prefer yellow peppers

Thanks for the rec, watched it last night while Mrs, jdhorn92 (no pics) was out. Very entertaining.

I give the French a pass on their WWII performance, which is the general origin of this surrender mindset. They were out general'd by the Nazis and pulling out of Dunkirk was not their best day, but they deserve a tip of the cap for what they did for us in the Revolutionary War. Lafayette was a stud and we owe them a great debt of gratitude. Going bk to support the upstarts led to their own revolution. The French resistance in the European Theater was bold and courageous and should not be discounted once they were occupied.
