  1. Well, given the importance of combine and pro day results I would expect any player to train accordingly. Those who don't are perhaps not as dialed in.
  2. I was at my pulmonologist doc many years back -- Dr. Pohl, UT swimmer -- and after my routine x-ray he came into the exam room and asked "do you feel OK?". "Yeah, why?" "Well, look at this x-ray. You have a spot on one lung. It COULD be cancer but maybe not". Commence terror. Turns out I happened to be in the earliest stage of pneumonia, which while not fun, ain't lung cancer. Spots suck but they can be all kinds of things.
  3. Congrats, neighbor!
  4. Don't go to Mandito's.
  5. World Series appearance is a lock.
  6. On the subject of log splitting, are these worth a damn? I have a bunch of oak limbs I need to break down.
  7. That song came out when I was pretty young. I had already been listening to Chicago but Cetera's increasing influence brought a different vibe to the group. "Wishing You Were Here" was a similar song from that time. I liked them both, because girls liked them and they'd slow dance at pre-teen parties if the right song came on. I was too naive to understand that Cetera was basically destroying the group. It's an old story, and it has happened to many bands over the years, certainly many of that era (Styx, REO Speedwagon, Journey, etc.). Maybe AOR bands are particularly susceptible.
  8. Absolutely no disagreement there. My main thought is that something like a 10 yard split is probably one of the most valuable metrics for a skill athlete. The 40 at least blends acceleration and top end speed, but it's not very reflective of many football plays.
  9. I didn't read any, but he claims his crappy pro day times were because he pulled a hamstring while training. The implication was that the injury happened very recently; i.e., after the combine.
  10. So, "tu"? Good thinking there, Gomer.
  11. Restrepo should have run at the combine if he's truly a 4.5-4.6 sec guy (as he claims).
  12. But there are situations where that ridiculous early acceleration is more important than top end speed. In fact, I'd say acceleration is more important most of the time. A world class sprinter doesn't reach their top speed until at least 50 meters (~ 55 yards), and those are rare football plays.
  13. Isn't that an injury that can happen just by hitting a ball; i.e., not by getting hit by the pitch?
  14. If you're willing to stay at a somewhat pricey resort, Henderson Beach is great. It's right next to a state park so there is essentially no civilization north of you for a few miles. The beach is private as well.
  15. Florida got in last year at 28-27 (13-17 SEC). So, 12-9 ish over their remaining conference games? Yeah, good luck with that.
  16. Eh, we don't have to play UTenn, I'll take the schedule we got and take whatever happens. I just like the complete sea change in competitiveness of this year's team compared to the last few. It's almost like, oh I don't know, coaching matters?
  17. If we go 2-1 against the top team in the conference and UTenn sweeps the worst team in the conference, I'm not gonna lose any sleep over "losing ground".
  18. We can clearly look to the 2A debates to get clarity on what the Founding Fathers intended.
  19. Well, he had a front row seat.
  20. JESUS FUCK he specifically mentioned a "3rd term" which sure as hell implies an election. Congratulations, you're even more pedantic than I am.
  21. It's almost as if you aren't reading what I am explicitly writing. Come on.
  22. Well, that sucks. I wanted to see a coach fight.
  23. Earley: "hold me back, bro!"
  24. Violate the pitch clock.
