    I can’t remember names, but from what I’ve seen we’re after the UVA big, the UNT guard who was conference player of the year, the USC kid, and the Rice guard. Tenn had the transfer wing that would be a good get, but I don’t know if we’re really after him. I’m sure I’m missing a few, but it seems like the staff wants 1-2 bigs and 2-3 guards/wings.

    We’re going to have to bring in 4-5 transfers and maybe more depending on attrition. Not all of them can be stars. If he’s willing to accept his role, then he could be a valuable transfer.

    Reddit actually has a decent thread on how to deal with red flags, and I saw a pretty good idea that if a Safety Car turns into a red flag, they should go back to the order of the cars at the time of the safety car. That way stewards have time to decide if a red flag is required, but cars that out under SC before a red flag is determined aren’t completely screwed over like Russell and Sainz last week. This seems like the fairest way to handle red flags instead of just making teams completely guess if a SC will turn into a red flag.

    They use the exact same engine as Merc. It’s not an engine issue, it’s an aero issue. Their car is too draggy compared to the others. Their floor is still very basic, so they have more room to develop than probably any other team on the grid.

    It sucks that we have to wait four weeks until our next race, but one upside is that probably every team but Haas will bring significant upgrades. If Ferrari or Merc are going to figure out something with their car with what they learned from testing it should get on the car in Baku. Same for Aston, if they are going to develop rapidly this year, we should see the first evidence there. Supposedly RB has a big upgrade planned for Baku, so I guess we could also see the gap grow even more considering how well all their upgrades seem to work.

    It’a almost like he got those numbers because he flew into the backfield every snap, never worrying about contain, while the current regime would require him to read and react so he doesn’t kill the whole defense. And guess what, Hager’s terrible at that.

    Narrator: They were more fucked than he thought.

    You should be nicer to BO&W. You're about to pass him in rep points. It's going to be a very difficult time for him.
  10. Burt Macklin
    lol wut. Hager would've sucked in this system too. His problem wasn't being too small. It was shooting up field every play with no idea what he was doing and never thinking.

    you should definitely go check. I’m sure FanDuel has a .5 O/U on some guy like GSW scoring a TD this year.
  12. Burt Macklin
    Merc is trying to call out RBs dominance in hopes the FIA/F1 nerf them with a new TD.

    No other union gets slaughtered like the NFLPA. Agreeing to two years of the franchise tag was so stupid. If an NFL team drafts you in the first round, they can keep you for 7 years before you get any chance to hit the open market. That’s absurd in a league with such short careers.

    It’s amazing how the guy drives a great race for 90-95% of it and then consistently finds new ways to throw it away Yeah, I watched the extended highlights and this race was incredible. If they would just police the dirty driving tougher/more consistently, it would be an incredible product. I still enjoy it, but too many of their races feel like the F1 race today where the first 80-90% of the race was pointless.
  15. Burt Macklin
    Yeah, to me, this would’ve been the most fair. If they really felt like they needed a red flag, then do a rolling start, so you likely avoid most, if not all, of this chaos. That red flag made the previous 56 laps and basically the whole weekend pointless for a big chunk of the field.
  16. Burt Macklin
    Yeah, it was going to be a shit show no matter what once they called the BS red flag. At that point, it was just a question of who got shafted by it. Any time you have a restart that late in the race, people will go for crazy moves and chaos will ensue. If Alonso actually had more pace, he would’ve got within DRS of Lewis at some point in the race. It was pretty obvious Lewis was managing the gap the whole time and the Mercs were just faster this race. Lewis had more pace left regardless of his radio messages.

    I will say though, watching Stroll try to outbrake Sainz and go right in the gravel on that restart was hilarious. I could tell he was going to lose it before it even happened. That clown is going to get thoroughly out-qualified and out-raced all year and still have a decent season on paper.
  18. Burt Macklin
    Yep. That red flag was just like NASCAR and exactly why I don’t watch NASCAR. What a joke.
  19. Burt Macklin
    You definitely have not looked up any stats. Our defense finished 11th in the country last year, and they were easily better than the offense or special teams last year.
  20. Burt Macklin
    Wow I’m shocked. One of the shittiest posters in this site resorts to rep count. Never seen that before.
  21. Burt Macklin
    Ferrari once again manage to miscommunication and fuck up Leclercs last lap in Q3. Bunch of clowns.
  22. Burt Macklin
    I’m sure the Lions taking him high in the draft and giving him a shitload of money would really help him learn that lesson.
  23. Burt Macklin
    Posters don’t need an ulterior motive to neg you.
  24. Burt Macklin
    It seems like they’ve been keeping an alternate strategy alive while continuing with the current one, but I doubt this other car in the wind tunnel is all that great. Resources are too limited for them to fully develop two cars. At best, it will be a solid base for them to build from. Either way, they have issues with their floor and suspension that I doubt this new car will fix.
  25. Burt Macklin
    It rained during the session, so most drivers didn’t get a good lap in. Those time are meaningless.
