    It's still a fun time, mostly for nostalgia's sake. And it's one of the few places you can still find a $5 table, so worth it on that front. 

    Coushatta on weekdays before lunch has $5 table(s).  Took a couple hundred from them recently and plan on taking from The Golden Nugget this weekend. 

    Saw some interesting betting strategies at Coushatta. One dude was laying all the numbers on the comeout roll. If a point was made, then obviously that number would lose. He then moved all other lay bets to place bets once there was a point.

    Saw another guy playing dark side and placing the six and eight. If 6/8 won he would move take down that entire bet and move it to the don’t odds.

    Charlie Weis at Notre Dame. That ended about how this one will, with aggy paying Jimbo 5-6 years worth of dead money, or firing him for cause after the NCAA investigation.

    Aggy will find a way to both pay him 5-6 years of dead salary and have the ensuing NCAA investigation.

    So they’re definitely going to be paying well over $10M per year for coaching.

    $10M? It’s probably closer to $12/13M.

    $7.5M for Jimbo, $1.8M for Elmo, $600K for Schmidt. Then you have to consider the OC is making probably at least $750K.  That’s 10.5 before you consider the other half dozen coaches all probably making $250K - $500K each.

    Read today that he received a liver transplant while in the hospital?  Huh?

    This story is probably a little deeper than it seems.  As an alum, I'm going to wait until the report comes out from the school.    I've heard reports that he had some medical issues he never disclosed.  I have no idea.  The guy was from the Baltimore area, and I can tell you that 80 degrees is nothing, zilch, in and of itself for guys who live up there.

    So, if these guys (coaches) just hazed him for some motivation or something, then yeah, fire the whole fucking lot of 'em.
    If there's something else, like they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and he just happened to be overcome by some unique medical factor, it's a different story.

    The "toxic culture" thing is a little overblown to me, but people in the area eat that stuff up... "investigative journalism" and all that.  However, I would never want to play for fucktards that treat me like cattle.  If they did and they tried to somehow devalue it, then fire them yesterday.

    McNair was one of the best recruits in the history of the school.  Apparently he was ranked something like the 23rd best lineman in the country by some reputable ranking service. 

    will say this though... Maryland is trying to be a football school (again, sort of), but they're first a basketball school... their revenues, gates, TV money, etc. come from basketball.  So I believe the university investigation will not be anything approaching a coverup.  This ain't Ohio State.  They'll  not protect Durkin if the culture really is so bad people can get hurt/die.  I know that much.  Now if this were Mark Turgeon....

    Anyway, we'll see when the report comes out, I guess.  They'll put something preliminary out within the next 2 weeks, and that'll do it one way or the other.

    Heat stroke above 106 can cause organ failure, including the liver. Not saying he didn’t have other conditions that led to his death but the heat stroke is the overwhelming favorite for cause of death. How much of the “toxic culture” is at fault for that is what I’m sure is being determined. 

    I don’t really have an issue with much of what was reported other than the delay in treatment for McNair and the eating until vomiting. Nothing else seems out of place at a D1 football program. Calling people bad names to motivate them is distasteful but certainly not an offense that should warrant discipline.

    what is the target end date for "this is going to take 2 weeks".  or, rather, what was the first day that was said?

    Whenever they finish concocting up the “evidence” that urban did report all of this to the AD and it’s the AD’s fault for not sending it on.

  6. Well it looks like Texas only played 2 teams that ended up being top 50, TCU and Iowa State.   (USC ended up 55, Oklahoma St 70, the rest are typically between 70 and 100) Just using this as a statistic it's actually pretty close, but the numbers indicate they may be on to something. Eye test tells me differently, but that's hardly measurable.  I would consider it incomplete  because I feel that Sam was the best of the 4 qb's but he played against weaker defenses, including none that ended up in the top 50. (In his USC debut he went 52% with 2/2 and QBR of 26.) I have no problem with them indicating Starkel is better than Shane. The numbers seem to confirm it.

    At TCU - Shane had a 48% completion percentage, 0 interceptions , 1 touchdown and 254 yards passing. QBR of 25.  LSU's S&P ranking (18) was close to TCU (16) so it might be a good comparison for those two games.  In that game, StarkelMotion had a 53% completion percentage, 3 interceptions, 2 touchdowns and 227 yards for QBR of 57.3

    At Iowa St - Shane had a 73% completion percentage, 1 interception, 1 touchdown and 171 yards passing. QBR of 50.  South Carolina's S&P ranking (36) was close to Iowa State (32) so it would be a good comparison as well. In that game Mond had a completion percentage of 70%, 0 interceptions and 0 touchdowns. QBR of 69.8. Might be worth considering that aggy played South Carolina at home night, while Texas traveled to TCU.

    Starkel vs top 50 S&P+ defenses last year: 

    51.3% completion percentage,  4 interceptions, 5 touchdowns, 181.3 yards passing a game. 

    Mond vs top 50 S&P+ defenses last year: 

    54.8% completion percentage, 3 interceptions, 2 touchdowns, and 117 yards passing a game. 

    Both split reps vs Miss State and Auburn. 

    Starkel and Mond were absolutely shit against the good defenses they played last year. They looked better against these powerhouse defenses. Ole Miss (#117 adjusted defense), New Mexico (#91 adjusted defense), WF (#65 adjusted defense), Arkansas (#112 adjusted defense), UCLA (#120 adjusted defense), and so on. Starkel in particular was decent to good against shit teams and terrible against defenses with a pulse. 

     

     

     

     

    What were Sam and Shane?

    I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but our QB combo isn’t exactly winning Heismans 

    If you think Buchele  /Ehlinger is somehow easily better than Starkel/ Mond , you need to put the kool aid down. Starkel throws a pick 6 a couple times a game but other than that, he can put points on the board. We will see if that was because of the air raid offense or his QB skills more this year with Jimbo’s offense. Mond can’t exactly complete a pass during certain 4 down stretches but sometimes connects. You forget Buchele lost his ability to throw the deep ball, and hasn’t thrown over the middle of the field since Pluto was a planet. Not to mention Ehlinger literally threw 2 game losing picks. Again, I have a minor in mocking Aggy and their delusion but we are sitting in a glass house right now. 

     

    I watched Kirk carry their passing game on his back last year. Those qb’s sucked out loud outside of him. They will show it this year with a bunch of jag receivers and a worse OL.

  9. It was retarded that he wasn’t at the combine and went undrafted. probably a selling point for those that want to negatively recruit UT or big 12. 

    If enough of these Texas guys show out that are later round draft picks, or undrafted in Poona’s case, that stigma and bias should be gone by the time this 2018 recruiting class is ready for the draft.

    If Alaka and/or Dodson gets hurt they are in trouble at LB.  And that is one big JAG room of DE's.  Lulz at Renfro still starting at Corner.  Neither Safety has great speed.  And where is Justin Madubuike?

    JMad was the one I was surprised not to see. If I remember right there was some rumored lingering injuries, back maybe?

    Did jimbo ever actually sign his contract? I thought I'd read he still hadn't yet.  Would be hilarious if he jump ship. Not likely I think, but the potential aggy meltdown would be awesome to behold.

    While this would be funny, assuming OSU even found him to be a good fit based on his resume (I don’t) he would be untouchable for them because of the Winston shenanigans and special treatment for athletes at FSU.

    Obviously he never thought it would come to this, but why cover up for a WR coach?  He could have just fired him, hired another guy, and continued on with his morality illusion.  Probably would have given more credence to his bullshit value chart. 

    It was Earle Bruce's grandson.

    He could also know where the bodies are buried.

    I have obviously missed something.  When did Meyer call McMurphy a liar?

    In one of the Getup clips I saw it mentioned at media day that urban called out McMurphy for making up such a story.

    Frankly I wonder if this would have the same blowback had he not lied about knowing and just said we tried to counsel him through his issues and that we let him go when it was clear he wasn’t changing.

    the fact that he lied about knowing and his tweet indicating that if you lie you should be fired is probably what will do him in. 

    By the way, the Rutledge piece on ESPN got it right; it’s effed up and that so many people knew about this for so long and nothing was done about it until McMurphy was basically called out by Urban for making it up. Gotta feel for her and her kids.

    Brewster salary revealed. 

    I'm sure all the talk about Aggy out-bidding everyone for Brewster's lit services won't come back up now after finding out that he's making even less than he made at FSU. 

     

    Dickey is the one that surprised me ... 

     

    so basically $1 per dorky ass tweet per year trying to convince us that farmville is Lit and is now known as "The Station"

    S Tyler Owens got 3 Texas CBs last night. I wasn’t even aware that he was a take.

    If we could play 6 safeties on the field at a time we would be set with how that position has been recruited lately. Maybe Naviar and Washington can help Giles out in their spare time.

    It's already modeled. They don't need your credit card statements. 

    I thought it was this as well. They already have their numbers based on much larger studies and apply that to the population as a whole when they determine rates. Seems to be more accurate over the long haul rather than trying to tie an individual premium rate to each covered person.
