  1. The direct answer is most likely not. A guy that size likely had a few genetic tests in his life and thorough questioning on previous medical issues. The genetic testing testing, echocardiogram, imaging etc for the Draft would have been fairly extensive. Without saying more, I hope it is a rare, single occurrence for him ***so long winded way of saying, there was not much more to do to screen him for this beyond the reading of his medical records and in house testing etc.
  2. Your first sentence answers the question - no one but Wemby and his treating doctors know. If this is a recurrent issue that he is predisposed, then that could be managed by medications. Some people play on anti-coagulation, with known risks of bleeding. There are structural reasons to have these clots, and often for athletes, that requires surgery. Right now? 7-8 for danger to himself and long-term complications/recurrence that could endanger his career.
  3. Well… that’s not what I asked for. Happy for Blake.
  4. FYI: trade is official. Fox to possibly debut Wednesday night vs ATL. Will wear #2. According to RJ Marquez (fuck me for being old and not understanding X/twatter)
  5. I’m hoping the 3 picks aren’t Spurs picks. At least one of Atlanta’s and a separate one, then hoping they convinced Chicago to pay a first rounder to off load LaVine. Well well well, I guess I have to dust off the greatest game ever
  6. My only offering in this matter is this regarding Cuban and the Adelsons: the Adelson’s and Cuban struck a deal that includes a handshake agreement on future casinos in Texas. Apparently both groups feel that this is happening (I have no clue or care on the matter), and Cuban wanted in with them. But I believe a casino close to a new arena or something similar as well as part-ownership for Cubes was “the deal”.
  7. Johnson and Collins make it work financially per the reports. Have to think additional young player and picks. Guess I have to pay attention again
  8. Ouch, but comedic effect intended. In truth, I feel that nothing needs to change coaching-wise. Continuity and n the staff is undervalued IMO and I am NOT in favor of that. Can a fan nit-pick? Sure, but Sark seems smart enough not to change things just to change them. As I said, I’m watching this thread for analyst changes.
  9. I’ve never liked the Joseph hire that’s all I’m saying. I think he’s been a recruiter more than a coach at his previous stops and it was a bit of a comfort hire. I think he has done less over the long haul than the other defense staff that has stayed on. He’s the weakest link on the top defense in CFB. He was gifted a tremendous athlete and motivated DB in Barron. It would be tragic if he had fucked that up. But that’s like saying that the OSU secondary coach is the best ever because Downs is a freak.
  10. Agree. Have to think this is to be a low-key thread apart from new analysts
  11. Can we get rid of Terry Joseph? This is my annual time to bitch that the secondary is not up to par - but the safeties were great and recruits consistently mention Gideon. So….
  12. To throw myself in this mosh pit of takes: as has been mentioned in this page, the “Sark offense” is designed around Inside Zone, RPO (at multiple levels), and then screens/sweeps/counters and play-action as the big plays. With all the injuries and players who don’t/can’t run IZ effectively, and Quinn’s issues downfield, he has adjusted to an offense focused on OZ and intermediate passes. Almost like I get the feeling that the offense Texas has put out on the field is still very chicken-shit-sandwich and is the group of “restraint plays” standard in his offense, not the usual repertoire. Would explain why there’s limited “adjustments” in-game or game-to-game. That the team has been successful with it speaks to Sark’s coaching. (Note: I am not a Sark stan nor will I engage in a tit-for-tat; I’m here for discussion)
  13. Great perspective on what the sport in general means and what it means to be a fan. For me, it was special because for the first time ever, my girls were pumped for any kind of football, and specifically, the Horns. We didn’t make a game this year, but they’re excited to in the future. My youngest, 9 years old, said it best after the first Georgia game. Falling asleep, she asked if the Horns won, and I told her no. She said: “that’s okay, Dad, they’re still a great team and I’m happy for you.” So yeah, it sucks but the ride was damn exhilarating. I’ll have to go home and explain the loss to them this afternoon and I’ll be sad that we won’t have this feeling for another 8 months. Also, thanks to you @immamac and the rest of the (official) Surly crew for this site now and always
  14. Looks like Hill lost sight of Klubnik’s eyes and for whatever reason figured to drop laterally instead of straight back, as mentioned. Actually, I just wanted to say thanks for the snippets and discussion. I also enjoy this type of stuff
  15. Quick question for this forum: I’m taking the family up Sunday for the first time. Any advice on arrival time, parking, etc? The yutes want to be as close as possible and buy a jersey appreciate it in advance
  16. Holy shit - outstanding! More rep yada yada yada
  17. Is this the Arthrex procedure? Hadn’t noted that - I recall Rudy Gay did pretty well recently but cannot recall a football player (needing a RB-type of explosive power) with the same procedure and/or recovery
  18. Fuck Trae Young. That Sooner trash doesn’t deserve to be in a Spurs jersey and thankfully, Pop being in charge probably cements that. As for the “Wemby window” the concern I have is that the Spurs dynasty was truly built (drafted and developed) and those scouts and assistants have all moved on. SA may have a great chance to draft some quality stuff but Pop and RC have never been great in trading or signing for a champ-level star. Add in Brian Wright, whose actions the Pistons are barely trying to recover from. So… I’m hopeful, but positing that this FA will literally do a thing they’ve never shown the ability to do (acquire big-time, prime FA/trade targets) is…..
  19. I take myself off the Surl this morning to go visit my aunt and her cancer-ridden kidney. And this happens? Hook ‘em though!
  20. You should have been. ‘‘Twas better than ATM’s response and more damn appropriate. and no I’m being typical Surly facetious: ”Surly Horns: what happens here reaches Belmont”
  21. Maybe the bitching around here was enough to cause Sark to pause and look again at the Ogre. Not even a need for a banner, a public display
  22. I’m glad I had this discussion about Savea’s fit and PFF run grades with some of the rational folks around here the other day. Before the mindless droves smelled brains and dragged themselves along. He seems to be a very capable run defender. And we wait from there.
  23. Been lurking all day and trying to chime in while this thread derailed like a bloody corpse stuck on a runaway cart through icy hell. Count me in as not overly excited on Rod Wright. Experience at a high-level and high-end recruiting appears to be a downgrade from Davis, but most would probably be. Perhaps Wright was not the true first choice? But, assuming he is, I’ll happily place great fucking expectations on him.
