  1. That is kind of long for medically supervised detox, but not out of the realm of possibility. Is this person a long term and very heavy drinker? Alcohol withdrawal can kill you, unlike most withdrawals, which can otherwise be far more unpleasant. The people most at risk for serious complications are long term drinkers of the heavy variety.
  2. Too much to ask for a short round I guess.
  3. Those are more nuanced takes than I would have expected.
  4. No doubt. I don't think it will. But it could and playing out the season resolves most doubt. As opposed to benching him now permanently or sporadically followed by open competition in the spring and summer.
  5. I think the issue is trying to sort whether Arch is going to "get it" and be viable for next year or not.
  6. Question for the smaller-towners. We know they are overrun with MAGAts and, as a general proposition everyone is up in everyone else's business. Is there much day-to-day conflict? Are they really in your face?
  7. Well, it's funny that way. The teams we compare ourselves to have been playing championship caliber football a lot longer than we have. Including stacking recruits. Fifteen years ago we were entering our latest death spiral. Which, I might add, Steve Sarkisian pulled us out of more effectively than the last three guys.
  8. Yeah, two percenters can be pretty rabid fans without going psycho over all the traditions and delusions. We have several of them on the board. I have a lot of high school friends that are aggy and very few of them are two percenters.
  9. Well, guess you're right with the proof there. He did look better. But part of that is he was getting the ball out quicker than he seems to be capable of doing now. The problems are multifarious, since we're law dogs, and OL is certainly a big one. I just don't understand what the hell is going on with him.
  10. Well, Eric was one of em. Check him out, representin. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/no-kings-protest-dallas-reverend-eric-folkerth/vi-AA1OJb3K?ocid=socialshare Yes, that is a burnt orange shirt with a clerical collar.
  11. Apparently there is a decent amount of hunting down there. Probably not in range of an aircraft runway though. I agree that it's probably something a photographer did.
  12. Lotta deer hunters in WPB? Was it in a palm tree?
  13. There have to be other precedents out there. Jackson Arnold comes to mind recently, without quite the national hype. But yeah, this has to be really hard on him. He knows he's not getting it done, hype or not. This sounds like some inside info.
  14. Yeah I don't find last years starts inconsistent with what we're seeing today. He was a bus driver last year and his role was eased by better OL. But he wasn't trying to run an offense really.
  15. Hell of an expectation, considering we haven't had it for at least 20 years and Sark has come closest to delivering it.
  16. Yeah, those are the first questions. I kind of assume that the QB room receives instruction mostly as a group. But I suppose the QB getting most of the practice reps also gets the most instruction on a 1 on 1 basis. I can understand keeping Arch QB1 for the rest of the season to see if the switch ever comes on, but then opening the position to competition.
  17. And fail to see that a healthy ration of all that shit is landing on and spattering them.
  18. I think those were very wrongheaded, Arch alone. never mind the other losses. It makes me wonder if, had preseason expectations been more grounded, there would be less angst here.
  19. Yeah, that's the nuttiest part.
  20. And, often, staff changes are part of the death spiral. And, as to what is he doing if he's not OC, there were a lot of people outside of 9.95ers. like former players, praising the culture and recruiting this off-season. And he's certainly improved things significantly.
  21. Well, part of the problem I see here is yeah Saban benched Hurts -- for Tua -- and Milroe for Buchner, who was next up in their pipeline, ahead of current QB Ty Simpson. Not for a guy that was specifically brought in because the next guys in the pipeline were a JAG and a true frosh.
  22. I actually don't recall a throw at anyone's feet last night. Progress?
  23. One wonders has the pundits and $995ers been more realistic about Arch, the losses, and the youth on offense if we'd be a bit less aggro. There are some semi-legit complaints that we should never have a "rebuilding" season, but I think that is unrealistic, even in today's landscape.
  24. Got anything to add?
  25. The preacher was Rev. Eric Folkerth, pastor of Kessler Park UMC and BJ 1985, The University of Texas at Austin. I grew up with him at church and have followed him over the years. Great guy. https://kpumc.org/staff https://ericfolkerth.com/bio
