    When you were in high school you knew a guy who could throw a mid-90s fastball and who could consistently hit the zone but who didn't get drafted in high school or college? Was he a crackhead? Did he go straight to the state pen? What kept him out of the league? Because it had to be something else. It wasn't that long ago that only about 10% of all MLB fastballs reached the mid-90s. Even last year only about 1 out of every 4 fastballs hit the mid-90s. Throwing in the 90s is pretty fucking rare. I mean, really, dwell on those numbers and ask yourself if you're you sure you didn't know a guy who threw in the low- to mid-80s with control. Back on topic--I know it was Elon, but Maalik looked pretty good. I've got to wonder if some of those overthrows were the result of having to throw to a WR group whose fastest is slower than Texas's slowest.

    I miss that era of football so much. Texas versus tOSU I. Texas versus USC. Texas versus Tech in 2008. Texas versus tOSU III. The Big XII was the best conference on the planet. It wasn't just exciting to watch Texas play, every weekend there were always two or three, and sometimes four other conference or conference-related games with national implications even into November. Even the teams that were mid by conference standards were still pretty special, especially in 2008. And the bottom dwellers were pretty much perennially aggy, bible aggy, and little iowa. A lot of what was special about that era was because of Colt Fuckin' McCoy.

    It is...but fuck did this thread remind me how much I hate Kirt Bowels.
  7. AnotherLawyer
    I remember now...that and a bowling ball was one of the other ones.

    I saw a 3D '70s-era porn there. Weren't sure what to expect...but it was just standard 3D shit like a mug of beer being sent down the bar.

    How did the last Super Bowl-winning Bill who went to Dallas after coaching New England work out?

    I didn't call it a floor. I called it forgetting that we went through that shit last year and came out smelling like roses, while pointing at all those things as proof that the floor should be lower. The floor for last year's team given where they'd been, what their schedule was, losing Bijan and Roschon, and the odds against them for being their last year in the Big 12, was likely 6-7 games. They proved they were a different team even through all of that plus the injuries and the shit officiating. Hey, cool, if you think the floor is losing 4-5 games with a team that's stacked, has a relatively easy schedule, and already showed how they deal with the kind of adversity you were saying lowered the floor. It's cool, but that's just, like, your opinion, man.

    You talk about forgetting things like injuries to key players and stinker games...but did you forget all of that from this last season? We lost starters in the secondary, suffered a season-ending injury to our Doak Walker candidate starter projected to be RB1 in the NFL draft at the time, had our starting TE down with nagging injuries ever since the 0u game, lost our starting QB for 2 games, brought him back when he wasn't entirely healthy, and made the CFP. We had literally all the things you talked about, including having empirically the worst officiating against us, and didn't lose 4. We should win every game except Georgia. You could say the same thing about this last year, except substitute Alabama...and we beat Bama. This year is the beginning of a 4-5 year run where the floor should be 10-2 every year.

    Motherfucker. I didn't scroll far enough over to see that it was Mississippi State. Fuck me.

    I don't think we lose to Ole Miss. I think we go 16-0. I was asked for what might be a reasonable floor given this team and 9-4 is a reasonable floor for next year.
  15. AnotherLawyer
    True. I guess if we're talking reasonable-worst case, it's probably 9-4 losing to UM, Georgia, and one of aggy, 0u, or arky, and either Ole Miss or the bowl game. I've been drinking the Kool Aid. So I revise my floor to 9-4 with a good chance at 16-0.
  16. AnotherLawyer
    Yeah...which 3 do you see as losses (or more)? UM, Georgia, and...0u? Ole Miss? Someone we shouldn't lose to?
  17. AnotherLawyer
    I'm afraid to set my expectations too high with us losing Sweat and Murphy and still having a big question mark in the secondary, but the floor is 12-2. Michigan is losing way more than us, we get Georgia at home, and 0u doesn't have Gabriel under center. Which three do we lose @ChiTownDoc?

    I'm no Bill Parcells, but how realistic could that strategy have been over the last 20-30 years? With that strategy, you miss out on Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Kurt Warner, and Drew Bledsoe...who Parcells actually drafted in 1993 and who wasn't a senior, didn't graduate, wasn't a 3-year starter, and didn't win 23 games (actually it was 7 in his first two years). I think Bill is maybe full of shit.

    You should have gotten laughed at. We should still be laughing at you. He's currently graded as the 8th best QB by PFF and is ranked as their 60th best overall. That's typical of the draft ratings. Several have three QBs off the board in the top 10, meaning at 8th QB he'd be a solid 2nd rounder or maybe a 3rd rounder. If you honestly think he's not getting drafted, did you hit your head? And, if not, ha fucking ha you.
  21. AnotherLawyer
    I didn't think there was a possibility of him being gone until the Alabama game. He shot up to 1st-3rd QB on draft boards and a lottery pick, and it had me thinking he was definitely gone. I stopped worrying as much when he slowly dropped down to 6th-8th QB over the course of the season, but thought there was still a chance. Most ratings boards still have him no lower than 8th. In a draft this deep, that's probably still late 2nd/early 3rd if nothing else changes at the combine, especially given how many rookie QBs started a game in the NFL this season.

    Goddammit...what does one have to do with the other or anything else I said? You want to give up that known 5-star commodity for an untested 5-star? Is that your point? And Quinn's stats are objectively good for fuck's sake. Jesus tittyfucking Christ.
  23. AnotherLawyer
    It saddens me not only that there are so many stupid people...but that they choose to display their stupidity so publicly. Quinn is QB1. He's a RS-Soph returning as the Heisman frontrunner who had a season stat line of 272 of 394 for 69.0%, 3,479 yards, an 8.8 ypc, with 22 TD against 6 INT and a 158.6 passer rating, but, more importantly, a 12-1 regular season with a Big 12 championship and 0:01 and one misread pass away from playing for a national championship in a game where the other team had a nearly perfect outing until the very end of the 4th quarter. If you want Arch over Quinn for next season right now, you probably still think John Chiles should starts and VY should be moved to WR. Kindly go fuck your own faces so you can stop the noise pollution coming from your own mouths but, in any event, pretty please with sugar on top, shut the fuck up.
  24. AnotherLawyer
    Is this the thread where we discuss moving VY to WR?
