I'm even more pissed that Jamison didn't return the favor to Bryce, if that's the way Bama's defense wanted to play all game. Yes, not classy or smart to levy a hit like that and draw flags in critical territory, but let's share desserts and the scoreboard could have remained the same.

#9 Baylor @ #21 BYU: A preview of the new Big 12 .
Gravy Train replied to FartingDreamer's topic in Football
I just landed in SLC to see this game tonight. Might be one of the best opportunities to witness a good road game preview of the next B12. -
Apparently SEC officials don't call holds in Tuscaloosa, either, so... does it make a shit?

He said as much (recruiting exposure) during his Monday press conference.

All that Taco-Bell-Gigatron, Jetpack-dude-kitcsh and he couldn't even serve us up a home-and-home with ASU, whom he bolted for Bellmont, where we could have at least scored an OOC Tempe tour of Sun Devil lass-ass. Edit: After the 2007 Holiday Bowl (one of the more fun ones under Mack), how the fuck were we left with a home-home with Berkeley and not ASU?

Their offense reminds me a lot of 2019-era OUsux, right down to their guard play. Bryce Young = Jalen Hurts lite, with the same amount of panic (when flushed from the pocket) and locked on his first read, but with a quicker release. Gibbs = Sermon; McClellan = Brooks; Holden = CeeDee; Burton = Hazelwood. I wouldn't be surprised with an eventual box score where Bryce has more yards than his backs, but that assumes the secondary is locked in and not giving cushion. His intent will be to distribute the ball to the flat and use the WRs to dink and dunk down the field.

Alabama's 2-deep is what this entire country gets when USC/UCLA and the Florida schools have slipped for multiple years. Parity in college football is long overdue.
-
What does Greg f'n McElroy know about film study or work? Least effective Alabama QB since John Parker Wilson. Oh, right, they were consecutive starters, back in the stone age days of Saban's offense.

I was thinking the same thing. Worthwhile effort if he has lobbyist buddies offering $100 handshakes to draft a sportsbetting bill ahead of the next State Lege. -
...but aggy is fake army, soooo

Where we at with Westlake QBs? Still done with 'em?

You can also get there by recycling the same powerplant and/or transaxle in the highest volumes of production, retaining it for a decade or more. The E180 (prior-gen) Corolla had adopted LED headlamps but base trims of the car still featured a 4-speed auto. The 1GR-FE says hi, and, though it's about to be replaced, it's a FOURTEEN year-old engine with port injection, still offered new with a warranty in the Tacoma and 4Runner. Architecturally, that long block is over TWENTY years old now, just that it got a second cam phaser in 2009. They're dedicated to putting relics on the road and shouldn't be awarded for such reliability claims. Actually, fuck them that their consumer lets them get away with it.

I don't agree with their garish spindle grille and "how many different material textures can we fit in this interior" approach to Lexus styling, but the LC500 was done right, it's practically their current-production halo car for the marque. It's still outclassed by the Germans, aligning the BMW M850i and Merc AMG-GT C as direct competitors. The RC-F is a dated, bloated, fat cat with Mustangs and Camaros embarrasing it now. The GR Corolla isn't available in the US yet, but cool for undercutting Honda on price. My sentiments are toward the NA-market of TM, where we get the most watered-down versions of their portfolio. I'll continue to dismiss the Supra because BMW still does it better and it's their own damn car. If you like the platform, just buy the Z4 M40i-- it's faster, better-appointed, and actually passes muster in a wind tunnel test. You can't get a RAV4 Prime anywhere near MSRP at the moment-- but if we're realling doing this, and its potential buyer is willing to put up with its hideous looks, there's a Hyundai Kona to undercut it on price, a VW ID.4 in a more attractive and proven global BEV platform or a Volvo XC40 Recharge to compete with it directly, with better tech.

This is a home-and-home, right? I'm not looking forward to next week as much as I am for next year. Maybe I'll watch the first half, then leave the game summaries to y'all.

True body-on-frame options? They don't really exist anymore... mostly for good reason, though it's one of the remaining pearl-clutching values of a Toyota fanboy. Superior, but for different reasons: Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Grand Cherokee. Scoff at their reliability ratings, but also take a deeper look at the hardware both offer. One available in a turbodiesel, the other with an outgoing V8 that will be replaced with a turbocharged inline-6 before Toyota gets their powertrain shit figured out. The Grand Cherokee has better approach/departure angles, slightly greater clearance and all from a Continental-supplied air suspension that's been on that platform for more than a decade now. The updated GM Colorado/Canyon look like a tasty option over the Tacoma. I get that some prefer the primitive design of these two, but that's difficult to justify now with their price.
-
LOL, bring it. TMNA doesn't offer a single interesting product anymore, at least not something that isn't outclassed, better-engineered, better looking, or certainly better driving. They're mere appliance-cars for those who don't have the time or don't really care about cars. I get the '90s were cool and some believe the '90s are still alive today, but at some point we gotta move on before the rusted-out C-channel Tacoma frame halves itself. The two cars they do offer with any sort of character (GR 86 and Supra) were contracted out (to Subaru and BMW). The J200 Land Cruiser got to the ripe age of 14 years before it was replaced and they even managed to screw that up for U.S. consumers. It's now a Lexota with 50-series radials on 22"s.

A 4Runner, even new, will instantly feel like an older vehicle than your A6. Its drivetrain is a good decade older (in design) than your 2013 A6. Road manners are sloppy, slow, inefficient. I still don't get the appeal, and for those who claim it's due to reliability, what do you have against oil changes?
-
Situation is a bit different than that with the two parties carrying different interests. Russia has plenty of oil and gas to sell, China wants it only if it's cheap, while, at the same time, seeks other sources for diversification or to bully via Belt-and-Road investments. I watched this last night for a little more insight:

https://wartranslated.com/translation-russian-issues-guidelines-for-agitators-in-the-temporarily-occupied-territories-of-ukraine/ Here we publish a translation of guidelines that the agitators in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine have issued to convince the population they are not marauders or murderers. № Potential Questions Answer Options Notes 1 Is this humanitarian aid from Russia? That’s right, this humanitarian aid is from ordinary people who sympathize with the residents. It is important to indicate that help is provided by ordinary people. 2 Will Russia bomb us? No, the Russian Federation carries out only precision strikes on military targets. If they refer to Ukrainian news – these news stories are false in order to discredit the Russian Federation. 3 Is Russia here for good? Yes, you don’t need to be afraid, the Russian Federation is not retreating. In the case they mention previously liberated territories where a retreat was undertaken, this was not according to the SMO plans. . 4 I don’t like (name of military-civil official) Russia is a true democracy, and you can choose any officials you like, or you can run for office yourself. It is desirable to avoid this topic in communication, say you’re apolitical. 5 When will the referendum take place? September 11 on the Single Voting Day. 6 What will happen if Ukraine returns? Ukraine will not return to these territories. 7 Why is the fighting going on? There is a battle for the liberation of the Nikolaev region, in the near future, all the goals of the SMO will be fulfilled. It can be said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are shelling the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions due to hatred of the population. 8 I speak Ukrainian. What will happen to me? Nothing, in Crimea, for example, there are three official languages. If you know Ukrainian, you can switch to it. 9 What’s currently happening to Ukraine? Ukraine is being divided by the USA and Europe, soon its statehood will cease to exist. You can refer to the fact that in the western regions, the Polish zloty is already in circulation along with the hryvna. 10 Will I be able to travel to other regions of Ukraine or Europe? It depends only on the authorities of Ukraine and European countries. It is worth mentioning that now Russian-speaking people are being persecuted all over the world. 11 I do not want to live in Russia. You are simply afraid. Russia is a country of great opportunities, it has a great history. Notify the military police or other law enforcement agencies. 12 What happened in Crimea in 2014? The referendum took place. Everything was calm, the majority supported the desire to become part of the Russian Federation. It is worth mentioning that Crimea lives peacefully and with a dialogue of cultures, a lot of money is allocated for the construction of roads, and facilities. 13 What will happen to the destroyed houses? All houses and other buildings will be restored after the referendum at the expense of Russia. 14 We don’t have money, where can I get social payments or financial assistance? You should contact the authorities, the military-civil administration, or other supervising structures. Call for obtaining Russian citizenship as soon as possible, since more opportunities for payments will be available. 15 We are afraid of the local resistance movement (partisans). You can report any known information to law enforcement agencies. Point out that these are not partisans, but Ukrainian sabotage groups. 16 What will happen to Ukrainian passports? Will they be taken away? No, you keep them. 17 How can I ask for targeted assistance? You can let us know your needs and we will make every effort to collect funds. 18 Will children be taught in schools from September? In what language? Yes, everything will be carried out according to plan, schools will work as usual. Education will be offered in Russian, however, you can apply to have classes created with instruction in Ukrainian. Refer to the experience in Crimea. 19 Why are you doing this, are you getting paid for it? No, we are volunteers, we work on behalf of all caring citizens and do not receive any remuneration for this. In addition, you are not a member of political parties. 20 Is everything calm in Crimea? Yes, thanks to the Russian army, the Crimeans have not known the sounds of gunshots for a long time. 21 Why is the Russian army engaged in looting? The Russian army is not engaged in looting, unlike the Armed Forces of Ukraine If you become a witness, say that this is a human factor and all those responsible will be brought to justice. 22 Is Russian army shelling Ukrainian cities? No, only military targets. 23 What is the healthcare system like in Russia? Better than in Ukraine. Russia has one of the best healthcare systems. 24 They say that there is poverty in Russia. . This is a lie, in Russia almost everyone can afford a private car. Tell them that cars in the Russian Federation are cheaper than in Ukraine 25 What army will our children serve in? In the Russian Army. 26 Our relatives live in Ukraine – will we be able to communicate with them and see each other? Of course, in Russia there is no hatred for ordinary Ukrainians. 27 We are told about Bucha (or any other fake). . This is a fake from Zelensky and his team. Advise to get acquainted with the investigation done by Russian military correspondents, remind about Zelensky’s previous occupation. 28 Does Zelensky really hate us? Zelensky decides nothing, everything is decided by his curators from the United States. Mention that he is a drug addict. 29 My relatives are fighting in the Armed Forces of Ukraine (any other unit) Recommend to persuade them to switch over to the side of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Notify the military police or other law enforcement agencies. 30 Why is military equipment located near houses? For your protection and safety. Mention that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are hiding behind residential facilities

Now tell me about their supporting staff and whom you'd like to see retained as Texas transitions to the SEC? And no, we can't cherry-pick Traylor, and yes, Sark is already recruiting successfully against Saban, Smart, Jimbo, Heupel, Kelly, Kiffin and Napier. Sark is in the right place at the right time. Few of us are happy about the defense side of the ball and the OL is still serviceable at best, but the changes made in the spring already address those concerns, just that it's going to take longer than one offseason to bear fruit.
