  1. https://247sports.com/college/texas/Article/Texas-Longhorns-football-Keaontay-Ingram-running-back-opting-out-156023832/ Ingram must not know that Drayton coached for Meyer at both UF and tOSU.
  2. https://247sports.com/college/texas/Article/Texas-Longhorns-football-Keaontay-Ingram-running-back-opting-out-156023832/ The source said Ingram is concerned his running backs coach Stan Drayton will lose his job if Herman is let go. Of all the offensive coaches on the staff, I'd think Drayton is most likely to be retained, given he worked for Meyer at Florida and tOSU
  3. They've only beaten 1 team with a winning record: the Colts. The 8 wins have come against teams with a combined record of 26-53-3 (30.5%). The 3 losses have come against teams with combined record of 23-10 (70%). 11-0 Pittsburgh beat them 38-7. 6-5 Baltimore beat them 38-6 6-5 Raiders beat them 16-6 They suck.
  4. This Kirk Barton? Seems like a good guy https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2018/06/93915/former-ohio-state-lineman-kirk-barton-indicted-on-two-felonies elaware County indicted former Ohio State offensive lineman Kirk Barton on Friday stemming from a June 1 incident at the Bogey Inn following a day at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin. The Inn's management phoned the Sheriff's office and requested the removal of Barton, whom they judged to be intoxicated after stumbling into multiple guests. Delaware County Sheriff's deputies escorted Barton into a waiting taxi. Communication broke down, and the ensuing dispute resulted in deputies tasering and arresting Barton. From 10TV: Delaware County charged Barton with one count of assault, a fourth-degree felony, and one count of obstructing official business, a fifth degree felony. Fourth-degree felonious assault is punishable by a prison term of six to 18 months in prison fines of up to $5,000. If obstruction of official business creates a risk of harming someone, it's a fifth-degree felony punishable by up to a year in jail.
  5. That 70yd TD with ~4 mins left was vintage Steeler 4th quarter defense from around 2012-2019. Up 10-14, they always seemed to surrender points to make the game closer than it needed to be or to lose. This year, they've outscored their opponents consistently in the 4th.
  6. First thought was a quick chat with Matt Canada (Pitt QB coach) or Teryl Austin (former DC for Meyer at UF), but Steelers play Ravens tomorrow at 3:40p ET. On NBC. Perhaps they need to empty the latrine and Allegheny is as good a place as any.
  7. Darn near every man on here (and perhaps some women) would agree that Michelle Herman and Kendra Scott are easy on the eyes. In that regard, Tom Herman's no different than any of us.
  8. In the late 60s, you went to grad school. Given Texas's present OL and S&C situations, you hire experts to help with technique, speed, agility, etc. Plus, you have ZERO chance of getting hurt by opting out of KSU, KU, and whatever 3rd tier bowl Texas plays in.
  9. I'll; try! This woman is nowhere. In Kim's league, Kim is. Probably laughs every day that. Her ex dates a great. Value version of her... Fixed?
  10. Couple of comments on this thread. TCAD's rolling its values YOY is a huge long-term boon for them. No need to apply resources on appraisers or researchers for the past 12 months. No need to apply resources on protests Tax rolls will increase due to "assessed value" increases Most protest aggregators will be put out of business (as noted earlier) TCAD (and other appraisal districts) will change land/improvement value when the improvement valuation exceeds cost to replace the structure by a certain amount. If I recall correctly, it was 1.2x in Travis a few years ago. It typically is revisited based on the status for an entire entire neighborhood. TCAD has a fairly decent search feature and, with it, you can download CSV files based on your search criteria. The CSV can be read into Excel or parsed using some fairly straightforward code. I downloaded information from 2018, 2019, and 2020 for 2 zip codes in Travis county and found the following: 2018 -> 2019 valuation changes for all homes 16.5% decreased 3.7% no change 79.9% increase 13.5% increase by more than 10% Over 7% turnover on ownership 2019 -> 2020 valuation changes for all homes 0.4% decreased 92.8% no change 2.8% increase 0.8% increase by more than 10% Over 5% turnover on ownership My homestead was one that increased by more than 10%. My home was the only home in the neighborhood to change value and 3 homes sold in 2019. In fact, one of them sold for 20% more than 2019 valuation and retained its 2019 valuation. I called TCAD and an appraiser called me back. He told me that a functional obsolescence factor (agreed to in a 2015 formal hearing) had been removed from my valuation. This was capricious and indefensible, but it is up to me to defend, of course. Sigh....
  11. Given how important S&C coaches are to the day-to-day operations, why would Smart hire Cochran into a position-coach role? It certainly will rattle the foundation of the Bama program, which has significant value to Georgia. That said, why not also place Cochran in a position where he will have access to the players on a daily basis?

  13. For the uninitiated: Twitter guy: Yo, Cleveland guy here. I bought your jersey and now wear it when I paint. Johnny Football: Appreciate the $120 bucks. Paint away Twitter guy: Well, it was actually a t shirt with your name and number
  14. https://www.timesofisrael.com/comedy-club-drops-comedian-ari-shaffir-after-comment-about-kobe-bryant/ “Kobe Bryant died 23 years too late today,” Shaffir says in the video. “He got away with rape because all the Hollywood liberals who attack comedy enjoy rooting for the Lakers more than they dislike rape. Big ups to the hero who forgot to gas up his chopper. I hate the Lakers. What a great day.” Shaffir was dropped by his talent agency following the tweet. On Tuesday, he posted an explanation on Instagram. “Every time a beloved celebrity dies I post some horrible shit about them,” he wrote. “I’ve been doing it for years now. I like destroying gods. And right when a famous person dies they’re at their most worshiped. So as a response to all the outpouring of sympathy on social media, I post something vile. it’s just a joke. I don’t really hate any of the people.”
  15. Warehime may have been depositing a sewer pickle and decided not to answer his phone. CTH needed to act and act fast.
  16. Thanks to his guaranteed deal at Texas, Orlando makes at least $1.7mm per year regardless of where he coaches. At TTU, his total tax bill will be $604k. At USC, his total tax bill will be $781k, thanks to state taxes of $177k. Orlando would be forgoing $177k to be a DC at USC over LB at TTU.
  17. The criteria for auto-admit at UTD or Texas A&M has changed over the past few years and UTD has become considerably more selective. In 2014, auto-admit to UTD required one of SAT 1200 or greater (Math + Verbal) ACT 26 or greater top-15% of class In 2014, Aggy auto-admit required one of top-10% top-25% AND 1300 SAT (min 600 on each of Math/Verbal, IIRC) - I forget the ACT Today UTD - top-10% Texas A&M - one of top-10% top-25% AND [1360 SAT (min 620M, 660V) OR 30 ACT (min 27 M/V)] Fwiw, the SAT changed in 2016 and the College Board's own concordance shows that a 1360 on the new SAT is the same as a 1300 on the old SAT. Since 2014, UTD's auto-admit standards have improved and Aggy's have not. UTD's mid-50 SAT scores have been consistently higher than Aggy for some time. In the 2014 time-frame, they were offering significant $$ to top students. I'm not sure if that has rolled off at this point.
  18. The one on the far right has asked to speak to the manager.
  19. Lamar Jackson scored a 13 on the Wonderlic, which is in the lowest quartile of all test takers. It stands to reason that Herman might have the assessment that Lamar Jackson might struggle with some of the nuances of the QB position. I also suspect dozens of other recruiters had similar concerns. Perhaps he would have been a great safety - I kid. That said, Ohio State had and recruited the following QBs when Herman was around (and associated wonderlic): Braxton Miller (9, 19 on retest), Cardale Jones (25), JT Barrett (19). Fwiw, he was offered by Nebraska's Tim Beck
  20. If we stick with the G150, we can afford more buyouts.
  21. "He's back and he's making fun of Tennesseans." Schiano has matured neither personally or professionally if he's acting like that. Looks like he'll be a shit-heel forever. For perspective, the Tennessee fanbase, influencers, or whatever thought Schiano was too great an embarrassment and liability to hire. This is the same fanbase that revered guys like Phil Fulmer and Bruce Pearl.
  22. 2015 IndyStar article on Frank Gore. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/2015/10/02/frank-gore-indianapolis-colts-san-francisco-49ers-miami-hurricanes/73181198/
  23. At least it's a nice day and the students and new grads can enjoy the weather/experience. Beats the shit out of Rout 66.
