The most intelligent thing they do is listen to whomever manges their enterprise. While I do respect them for doing this, there is a management team telling everyone of them exactly what to do.. They are far from geniuses.
I think the secondary can be fixed rather quickly.. We did that before when we signed Manning and Joseph.. O line may be more of a challenge, but it can certainly be improved significantly..
Looking back on all the Horns that have gone early, this one hurts the most..For me anyways.. I understood and was at peace with VY.. Same with Benson and Charles.. Probably because of our likely dominance next year if he was returning..and all the games we won this year because of the plays he made..
I certainly wish him luck and will always cheer for him, but damn this still stings.. Hope he ends up with my favorite team on Sundays..
The distinct SEC advantages
- 4 non conference games. 3 Guaranteed wins for the program and ascent in the rankings. Not to mention these 3 games are NOT a home and home, allowing for 8 home games per school.. a big deal in some of these small towns these SEC teams play in and a huge recruiting advantage for kids that want to play near home.
- 7 teams, 2 divisions. The Championship game will more than likely not be a rematch. Its beats the format in our conference, where now the top team after the round robin has to play the conference #2.
- Bowl selection. The SEC has a deal with all the bowl committees where they get to see the opponent first, and line up their eligible teams accordingly.
I think LJH gets more touches because it takes pressure off Sam to run. I predict there will somewhat of an initiative by the staff to protect Sam more and have him take less hits, which includes his designed runs. LJH can wildcat as good as anyone, and Herman may be the first coach ever to realize the wildcat is more effective if the ball carrier occasionally passes.
LJH can improve his draft stock if he has a full year returning kicks and punts.. And does well at this..
I would mind seeing him lineup in the backfield more as well. His touches need to increase,keep Sam from having to get those tough yards on the ground.
You said it.. American Pie wasn't the first raunchy movie ever (Porky's come to mind) but it speaks to the OP's post. It also doesn't stand up to the test of time like Can't Hardy Wait. American Pie is difficult to watch now.. The acting isn't that great and there isn't much casual humor aside from Stifler. CHW stands the test of time. Its still funny and the acting is good enough..Much more watchable film IMO. They only made 1, yet American Pie had several sequels, each one better than the next.
I thought the officials were great. They caught the punter's knee being down for example..Don't know if the Big 12 officials would catch something like this unless its us doing it of course.
I am also suing Bevo because my hangover will be so bad tomorrow cause I stayed up drinking watching the clip over and over again. It affected my job performance/income.
