boilerhorn

this is idiotic. I saw the Hudson Card experience. In person. It was top-10 in NOTHING. Except suckery. And this is coming from a person who wants HC to succeed. At no point during that game (or the game against UND) did I believe Card was going to bail out the Boilers. Quite the opposite, in fact...

This is akin to combining the worst traits of Strong with the worst traits of Herman and giving them infinite resources. The NFL and the Cowboys get what they deserve.

Google Fiber finally made it to my part of NW Austin. I would pay just about whatever they were asking (for a period of time) just to be able to cancel Austin Cablevision, Time Warner, Spectrum, or whatever the hell it is called today. 1G up and 1G down for less than what I am paying for Spectrum 200MB, sign me up. And, "No, Spectrum. I do not want your special rate. You had that chance when GF entered the market and ignored me."

According to Google Searches, Cooper is an energy trader with around $13mm in net worth. Archie (grandpa): $10mm. Eli: $160mm. Peyton: $300mm. Arch's dad is not poor, and Arch himself is making (at least) a living wage at Texas. Money will not motivate him to leave early.

He gets you a 3 or 4 if you are trading him TO Dallas, not FROM Dallas.

I was going to joke, "Imagine how much better he'd be if Bo Davis were still around." This is great to see for Broughton. And I agree that Baker looks like a very good hire. The snippets of his coaching that have been made public show that he knows how to coach technique, etc. From what little I know of DLine coaching

Agree w/ your latter statement. Purdue/NU in WL were slow enough and low skilled enough that most officials - even bad ones - should be able to keep up

have another drink

Yes. Scored too quickly.

wow.

UGA got away w/ OPI on play before the TD. I just think the skill level and quality of play has surpassed these officials. All suck in B1G and SEC

Finally a PI, but they call holding

That's a no-PI call makeup for the earlier call - or the officials are incompetent.

College coaches can be so dumb some time. Making great progress up the field - let's call a trick play.

Up yours, Lebby. That's what you get for calling a timeout.

Refs are biased toward MSU. Punch thrown. Holding. Taunting. Nothing called. Sigh

Angel Reese ad talking about noise is fresh, given she creates most of the noise.

Please catch that.

Yes. I met him a few weeks back and he had a tight Nike shirt on.

Final check-in and quick summary of Purdue-Nebraska. Final score Nebraska 28, Purdue 10 Purdue had a total of 224 yards of offense: 55 on the first drive of the 2nd half (FG) and 75 yards for a TD to bring the game to 28-10. Before the final drive, they had more penalty yards than offense yards. Both teams stink. Purdue stinks more. I *think* Hudson Card is now the first ex-Longhorn QB with a losing record to Nebraska and he's now 0-2 (at Purdue). EDIT to add: Card has not improved at all since he left Texas. Still uses the same spin moves to try to get away from sacks. Still holds the ball too long. Still thinks he's faster than everyone else. Pros: Weather was awesome. 73 degrees and overcast during first half; sunny in 2nd half when I was in the shade. Alumni band + entire band halftime show was great. Matt Rhule got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty Ticket cost $10.29 including $5.43 of fees. Purdue blocked 2 FGs in first half. 3rd quarter took 28 minutes, 11 of which was commercial timeout Cons: Low level of play all around. Glimpse of hope for Purdue in 2nd half Purdue is slow and small Nebraska fans travel well Got poured on as I walked back to where I was staying.

After two penalties for 25 yards on the same play against Nebraska, Nebraska completes a 27 yard screen pass on second and 28. Purdue proceeds to get a facemask penalty. Nebraska scores a couple plays later. Purdue offense: 149 yards. Penalties: 165 pick 6 by Card. 28-3. Both teams really suck.

Nebraska TD to go up 14-3. Might be enough.

Purdue: Card sacked on 3rd and 4.

Nebraska up 7-3 over Purdue. Purdue has 144 yards of offense and 135 penalty yards. Brutal.

Purdue leads 3-0 after a 8:18 drive to start 3rd.
