A few clarifications; The hoodie (at least when dry) does function as a thermal barrier. The body is constantly generating heat. The body stays at the same temperature when the heat transfer rate is equal to the heat generation rate (basically). If the ambient temperature is such that heat is transferring out faster than the generation rate, the hoodie moves the system closer to equilibrium (temperature stability). If, however, the ambient temperature is such that the heat was not already transferring out faster than generated, the hoodie increases the rate at which the body heats up, starting right away. Water and perspiration can interact with the hoodie in at least two significant ways: (1) a soaking wet hoodie transfers heat away from the body-hoodie interface to the hoodie-air interface much faster than a dry one or the absence of one, typically; (2) The hoodie may be decrease the heat loss from perspiration evaporating by reducing bulk transport of perspiration and by setting up a thermal barrier between the site of the evaporation and the skin. The body has a few other tricks to help keep thermal equilibrium, but those have less to do with the hoodie. TLDR: teenagers are almost as crazy as adults

Guys who are dudes?

I know this thread already has a name, one in keeping with how we name threads about other schools, but I can't help thinking it might better be aptly and succinctly named "Aggy: jokes"

Fortunately for us, they lack insight and internally consistent strategic thinking. They raise money but mistake the purpose of money and squander it. They hire a good HC with a sound technique of starting the program with an ultimatum, but the players to whom he is delivering it have other options preferable to conforming to his ways. They amass talent but do so in a lopsided fashion that leaves critical weaknesses while reinforcing strong points. They hire a good OC who can get B+ results from C talent, but their hope is to gain A results from A talent. They recognize the importance of retaining key players but misunderstand who is worth retaining and possible to retain, as well as how to achieve retention. And so on.

As painful as we may find it to encounter misused pronouns, imagine how little Surly nonsense we'd have time to post and read, were we to correct every grammatical and usage error in every post. Also, if [me] or [you] is considered understood, the "-self" pronouns could actually be correctly used intensives rather than incorrectly used reflexives.

Milko and his ag-tag band of farmers will have a rude awakening in 25. Easy schedule in 24 likely lets him hit 8 wins. Assuming SEC goes to 9 games and takes the $, their '25 card may include opportunities to run out of time against ND (scheduled road OOC), UGA, Tenn, Ole Miss, OU (all 4 dodged in '24, as is Bama), LSU, and Texas (likely "rivals").

Anything the university spends on men, it must spend on women. This is the world of Title IX. Several options: 1. Forget the idea of paying directly from the school. 2. Pay key men's sports and have a pool of equal $ curated to go to equal number of recipients for women, view it as fairness/ loss/ whatever. Cost of doing business. 3. Spend the money permitted to set up school support for fundraising but keep the money to athletes from ever being school dollars. Give equal resources to running an NIL collective for men and for women, but have the actual donations come from elsewhere. Cover as much of the cost (other than actual payments to athletes) as possible from entity A -- equal; cover the direct payments with the fruits of entity A's efforts, realized by entities B (football) and C (other/ women). The school does not contribute unequally, but can't help it if donors do. Paying directly from the school tips you out of technical amateurism, with all the attending legal consequences.

Larry Gatlin was on the last team to score 100. If I remember correctly, he personally scored one of the last 2 TDs.

Relax. 1. Seven win Steve has 12 so far this year 2. The dark times that started with the Bama game in 09 ended with the Bama game this year 3. We are in the CFP based on HTH over the SEC champs 4. Our QB just threw for 50 more yards while I was typing this 5. Our defense scored more on offense today than Louisville did total 6. We are that team no one wants in the first round 7. We are in the CFP based on HTH over the SEC champ. I said it twice. relax, sleep well, and check out the final seeding tomorrow at lunch.

Yes, but they played Virginia close. Call that one a moral victory. Win total to 8.

The saga of that class will make a humorous 30 for 30.

It really boils down to Louisville. There are 5 power conferences and 4 seats at the table. Leaving one out is mandatory, but leaving two out would depend on a significant gap between the #2 from the "better" conference and the winner of the "worse." If Louisville wins, ACC is the odd man out. If we shit the bed against OSU (lose or win ugly), the committee has its excuse to take a second team from somewhere else, whether that be UGA after losing to Bama, UW after a close loss to UO, or tOSU. But an FSU loss and Texas taking care of business is a clear path.

They actually doubled down on the notion that no coach is better than Jimbo.

Like I said, post less. The gif had not come up since your previous post, but statistics had. You are embarrassing yourself. Take a break. FYI I will be adding you to my ignore list. Sorry to all who already have you there for the quote.

What does a gif have to do with the statistics under discussion? If you are not trying to conflate the issues, you really ought to consider better defining your arguments and audiences. TLDR: post less for a while and then re-evaluate

Stassneyhorn can explain it to you later. In short, you are emotional, and this is all in your head.

If you look past the score, Tech had a bad game versus UCF. If the team that beat UCF scares us, we should not be uttering the word "playoff."

You forgot to mention the first SWC title

I know it would be nice to get a revenge game against OU in the CCG. After consideration, though, I think it is better that we do not. Beating OSU instead would give us perpetual scoreboard on the entire irate 8, it would still put a big finger in the league's eye, and it deprives OU of a championship game berth. I wanna see the Horns thrash Tech and then OSU.

Hate it for Travis that he got hurt, but that injury may have punched or nearly punched our ticket to the CFP.

People are trying augmentation, but there isn't very good evidence to show it helps yet. People are cautious about BMPs because of links to increased cancer risk in the skeletally immature population suggested by previous studies.

Yes. Partial usually means no surgery. Tear and rupture are different words that essentially mean the same thing in this context. Repair (a la BEAR) is normally only for acute (recent) tears in the middle of the ligament, as opposed to avulsion (where it tears off of its attachment). There are some exceptions and nuance to all of this. The bottom line is that you need two things to advance out of the more "PT" phase of rehab and start working on sport-specific drills (allowing cutting and pivoting on the operative knee). You need good restoration of function, usually graded largely on quadriceps strength, and you need to be able to trust the weak link in the chain physically, generally the site of incorporation of the graft to the bones on either side of the knee. The graft incorporation is faster for bone and with native tissue. It is slower with purely tendinous grafts and with donor grafts.
