    Brown's Texas teams were 7-9 against OU for a 44% winning percentage. Strong's Texas teams were 1-2 for a 33% winning percentage. 1998-1999 2-0 2000-2004 0-5 (OU wins were by an average of 27 points, including a 52 and 49 point margin) 2005-2009 4-1 2010-2013 1-3 (OU wins were by an average of 29 points) Average loss margin under Strong was 5 points. Losses under Brown, though, were far more humiliating. Not that it really matters, as Strong was objectively a horrible coach.

    Tanking for a top draft pick, no doubt. Edit: crud. Did not move to page 6 before replying. Saw someone else had the same thought...

    The numbers are pulled directly from ESPN's 2018 game logs for Burrow. Ketch did about 3 minutes of "work" to get those numbers. https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/gamelog/_/id/3915511/type/college/year/2018

    I suspect Patterson sent Korn Ferry the following direction: "Vet Shaw, Franklin, and Strong. That's the group we want to consider." Shaw: entrenched at Stanford; was not coming. Franklin: Huge liability. Vandy player rape problems and pressuring injured players to play. Strong: May have screwed booster's wife (or wives); otherwise no real liabilities. No IQ test or football vetting occurred. A rewatch of his signature victory against UF would have shown shitty special teams, poor clock management, and poor situational decision making. This is 100% on Patterson and whoever gave him so much control/authority.

    Ravens cut OG Alex Lewis today. Saves them $2 million against the cap and opens an OL position. Perhaps Vahe can fill it. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27325895/ravens-cut-og-lewis-passed-physical

    Wynton Marsalis is the artistic director of The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in NYC. Saw them in April for a show celebrating the 80th birthdays of McCoy Tyner and Charles McPherson. Tyner played piano for Coltrane for some time and was on A Love Supreme. McPherson is a bop-era alto sax player. Both were slated to play, but Tyner was a late scratch because he suffered a stroke 2 weeks before the performance. McPherson was outstanding. I've seen Steve Smith a couple of times in NYC. Once with his band Vital Information and another time with his Groove Blue Organ Trio. Smith (Journey's drummer from 1977-1986 and occasionally on tour) is a world renowned Jazz drummer. He'll be in Austin in September at Bates for "World Music Unleashed." In the late 80s and 90s, Smith played with Steps Ahead, a jazz fusion outfit with a superstar lineup.
