Well, if I did, I would have to use hotdogs as player positions... and hotdogs give me gas. IMO, having a three man base set and morphing into a four man set is much easier and natural than starting in a four man front and dropping back resulting into a three man front. Remember Jeffcoat dropping in coverage trying to cover receivers? hahaha Putting Roach at LB last season was almost as bad

Because people get locked in on three or four man fronts. I also dont get all wrapped around the axle with 4I or 3 tech or whatever; it doesnt matter. It only matters where they lined up on any particular play. This why they should just be called DTs and DEs regardless of any particular designation. the same goes for other positions such as the bogus "Flex TE"; he's either lined up tight or not; if not, then he's either receiver or back on any particular play. On this play... a base three becomes a four man front with... DE (#49 Graham) moved inside to the DT position. B-Backer in 2pt stance on the right (#46 Ossai) is functioning as a traditional WDE on this play. DE on the left (#32 Roach) is functioning as a normal SDE NT (#99 Coburn) is functioning as a traditional DT on this play

Not anywhere close to what Tommyboy did when Scott Frost was the QB hiding in the closet after banging Lawrence Phillips girl friend and stayed in there while Phillips dragged her out of the apartment and down a flight of stairs by her hair. This is all PR. Frost can beef up the walk-on program but it cant be anywhere close to what Dr OZ had.

Nice neutral article. Is this article written from Ian Boyd at IT? Strong on opinion but weak on substance. I'm sure some of it is myth but, for the most part, it isnt. Dr Oz had a HUGE walk-on program. What is the total amount of players allowed on the roster today? 110 or something like that? IIRC, Nebbie's 1995 team that went to the Fiesta bowl took a traveling squad of 141 (one article said 165) - traveling squad - Florida had 94. this is huge. Can you imagine what Texas or 0U could do with an extra 60 or 80 players taking PEDs in the S&C program for 4-5 yrs? You dont think a half dozen or dozen diamonds in the rough or late bloomers wouldnt help fill holes in the depth chart? of course they would and that's all that is needed to make a huge difference. I read an article a long time ago that stated that nebbie set some type of record for having the most walk-ons get drafted or something like that. How does that happen if the walk-on program made no practical difference as Boyd suggests? Besides completely making up the star ranking on the starting position chart he posted, he still listed THREE walk-on starters on what some consider one of the best teams of all time. Name me another Championship team that had THREE walk-on STARTERS; and the depth chart had more. The county scholarship was also a thing but nobody could prove that Ozzy was directly involved in pushing for players that were covered by state scholarships. My view has always been, so what? If you have a virtually unlimited walk-on program, then what difference does it make? For a long time they claimed the largest weight room in the nation (30,000 sq/ft) - ok, so what - but during this time, Nebbie and roids were a big rumor in the '80s and '90s at a time when most of us didnt even know what they were, and it wasnt just creatine. Also, at a time when most of the Husknut nation were putting a lot of pressure on Tommyboy saying he could win a lot of games but couldnt win the big games that mattered. Then all of a sudden, they started producing those huge athletic linemen out of seemingly nowhere. Did Boyd even touch on the partial qualifier thing? no? that is just as much recruiting as anything else... or at least it was for Dr OZ. If you can grow linemen, TEs and LBs to fill a depth chart, and you can recruit nationally for players that normally would have to go JUCO, then you've got a good foundation in order to build a program. The 1995 team that the article talked about, had 4 starters that were partial qualifiers and two more were major substitutes and saw a lot of game time. On that roster there were 12 players that were partial qualifiers and they likely would not have gone undefeated without them... and Lawrence Phillips who was reinstated on the team just for the championship game... but that's a different sleazy issue.

I'm cheap and I'm not a heavy cell phone user. I find the little screens annoying. If I had to go back to a flip-phone, it wouldnt bother me very much as long as some apps work such as home security, home cameras, smart home plugs & electronics, email manager, and stuff like that. That being said, I've had Boost for a long time with a new LG phone at $30 a month and very satisfied with both. Unlimited text and two or three gig data or something like that. I hardly ever text and never come close to the data limit. I think Boost uses the Sprint network backbone and that's more than sufficient for me. And, for the money, it does everything I need except one thing but I dont think anyone else does it either for same price... so mute point.

Good stuff. For a first time user, I would go with the dog proof trap. I you paid more than $15, you paid too much. z traps are great in the right spots but they tend to catch a higher variety of critters: those that can push and/or pull the trigger. pretty much any animal with small enough paws can push and set off the trap, including cats and some dogs. Pulling a trigger is more difficult unless you have fingers, which is what you are going for. animals with hands/fingers are coons, possums, and skunks. I would use sardine juice around the trap and on the post/tree but inside the trap use cat or dog food kibble. coons like kibble and kibble is less likely to screw up your mechanisms on your trap.

yeah, some people are that way. but anyplace with water will work: reliable creek, river, lake, camp ben mcCulloch... whatever. I'm sure OP drives over or near some type of waterway at some point for him to have the critters to begin with.

It would be MORE than strike three counting different classes. Three misses just in this class alone.

coons are not hard to catch. I've been doin' it since I was a kid with home made live traps. You could have them all caught in less than a week. Matter of fact, you could have had them all caught since starting this thread. FYI... I have an ultrasonic repeller and I havent noticed it doing much good at all but I may have gotten a bad model, IDK

.22 and a pot... ... and an anniversary gift for the wife

why is this hard? a live trap with stinky food (tuna, sardines, cat food, etc), take them to the lake one by one, and release them at the same spot in the late evening. or a .22 and stew pot

Go cheap and I dont mean that sarcastically. It's the good idea fairy for most young families and rarely done more than twice away from the house. Seriously, do it once in the back yard and see what all goes into it and if the wife can withstand sleeping on the ground. If you do it twice away from home, then you've paid for the equipment in entertainment value alone and it wont bother you so much seeing that pile of stuff in the garage 10-20 yrs later. Get something cheap so mom can sleep without the bugs (and backup plan if weather gets bad) but I would try to show my youngin's how to build a shelter and build/cook on a fire. just a thought.

why do retards think this is actually helpful?

so... fess up! how did you sneak in the extra weight? did you drill a hole, pour in liquid lead and cover it with bondo and paint?

I'll tell you what, it's not as bad now as it was 30-40 yrs ago but guys that do roofing work have my respect. I did it in the summertime as a teenager to have some spending money; some of the hardest work I've ever done. it was just a 2-3 man team and they amazed me as a kid. We didnt have air tools or a front end loader to lift things up to the roof, much less a conveyor belt. It was my job to put the 90 pound (?) shingle pack on my shoulder go up a ladder and lay it on the roof ahead of the roofers. What a workout for football! esp for the legs going up ladders with that weight. Most of the time, I couldnt wait to get down off the roof. It was so hot, the tar on the shingles would bubble and it felt like fire burning through my tenny-shoes. Flat roofs and working with wet tar wasnt much better. The guy I worked for was an American Indian and his partner was a Texican. How they were able to do the kimshi squat (what it was called in Korea) in long pants and long sleeve shirt all day on that roof amazed me. They were tough guys... and I like it. Between that and hauling hay bails was a good summer of making money and getting a workout at the same time. Life was good

arent Rutgers and Maryland still getting partial shares at a huge disproportionate rate? Rutgers was at about $11mil and MD somewhere around $20mil. You would thiknk the per-school take would come down if all 14 teams took an equal share.

0U didnt want another rivalry game while NU was in the Big12 for a reason, which is what the game would become to NU. I think they are foolish even making limited home-home games with NU. It really only helps NU and a rivalry type game, even limited series, doesnt increase 0U's chance at CFP. A quality P5 game is one thing but a regular game against a program that will treat it as a rivalry is another altogether. But, hey, more power to 'em

exactly. I like Robinson better anyway

That is obviously a doctored picture. Here is the original...

or... he's duct tapped to a cot, tree or canoe LOL just kidding of course

exactly. That's all it was. After all is said and done and signatures signed, these malcontent school presidents couldnt control themselves, they wanted to be heroes to their brainwashed band of brothers and they would brag about how they got out and tried to screw the Big12. Like Nebbie's Perlman admitted what he did, aggy's president, Loftin bragged about what he did as well. At a luncheon, he said it took him 18 months working with the sec to get aggy out of the Big12 and into the sec. From when he said that, 18 months puts their decision timeline at around Aug 2010, soon after nebbie's announcement; at what a lot of us expected at the time. Again, this was months before the LHN was even thought of and certainly before its creation. Loftin started using nebbie's example for how to leave the conference covertly working behind the scenes and overtly creating chaos and false boogeymen (UT, and later the LHN) to get the fan base behind the move that would come later. Misery had already embarrassed themselves in 2009 and were more then willing to let aggy take the lead but they had the same intentions. To make matters worse, MU's president continued to chair the Big12's realignment committee up until the end, even though he knew what the school's intentions were. And, you are right, the LHN had nothing to do with either aggy or mizzy's decision to leave the conference; they just used it as part of their boogeyman strategy to rile up the fan base

Misery started it but it was Nebbie making deals with Delany behind the scenes is what got UT/0U and everyone all stirred up and checking for landing spots. For the conference to stay together, everyone wanted assurances that nobody had intentions on leaving. At the June 2010 Big12 conference meeting, there was a movement to get everyone to sign a contract binding everyone to the conference. Everyone signed but Nebbie and Buffy; CU already announced they were gong to the PAC in May 2010. Tommyboy & Pinhead wouldnt sign it and made a big deal about everyone pressuring them because, obviously, they were making a behind the scenes deal with Delany that was intended to stab the Big12 in the back. On the drive back to nebbie, nebbie land, they had phone conversations with Delany and said the timeline has to be moved up or they will have to sign the contract. There is absolutely no way a 100yr decision is made over the phone unless preliminary discussion and decisions were made previously. Delany, Dr Oz and Pinhead are the villains here and, yet, they went on a campaign to deride the Big12 and UT specifically for what they were going to do anyway. BTW, it had NOTHING to do with the LHN. The LHN hadnt even been thought of by June 2010

I'm sorry but.... I dont believe you

Yep... I was responding to someone that wanted CSU

flog yourself. It has to be UT's fault 0u and oSu left the SWC over a 100 yrs ago as well. [sarc]
