The syndesmosis between the distal tibia and fibula is basically a tough sheet allowing some limited motion but tethering the two bones. It is injured in a high ankle sprain. Old school was to put screws across while it healed. That was suboptimal in that it disallowed physiologic motion while the screws were in place— you had to take them out after healing and before allowing weight bearing. That or leave them, let them break, and hope their scraps didn’t make mischief later. Now most guys use some form of cable with buttons or tabs. It allows closer to physiologic motion and almost always can be left in. Neither technique is challenging. Rarely the tissue between the bones starts itself turning into bone after injury/surgery. Then you need to go in there after the unwanted bone stops growing and cut it out.

I don’t know that high ankle sprains merit leaving town, but William Meyers there is supposed to be good at sports hernia repairs. I have never treated someone who re-tore after having one fixed, so I can’t comment from experience on Whit’s prognosis, but 6 weeks sounds optimistic for him. Maybe back for November if we’re fortunate.

I think Cosmi’s staying is a pipe dream. If somehow he does, we may be scary good.

How often is peeing in a cup actually related to the job? Maybe some variant of Kopi luwak coffee or fetish barista gig?

I won’t paste the story in entirety because copyright etc, but he basically rambles about nothing for the most part. He does bring up the anonymously but “multiple” sourced claims that both LSU and Texas talked to Herman about hiring him before Strong lost to Kansas, and LSU agreed to Herman’s demands before we did. When we came through, he chose us. CS obliged by losing and hence being fired. Demands included locker room, weight room, drug policy, social media autonomy, preferred walk-in admissions.

Yeah I wanted him to be good strongly enough that I allowed my judgment to be clouded early on.

Whom do you think you’re addressing? Empty set is empty. Chad, Brad, whoever— is that you?

That is a young but bad man. He will hurt some folks before he leaves. Bite you as a pup and all.

Make a 4-quadrant poster with representative scores, verbiage and/or graphics from the Ole Miss, Tenn, USCe, and Mizzou games.

60% ATS is good. I wonder what his rate would be including the FCS v FBS games (I know— can’t calc because the data aren’t entered into his system from before). If he fixes much of what is wrong with his model, he might be able to start influencing lines. He may already anyway.

I wish you well, and am putting you on ignore. Apparently I don’t have sufficient grasp of facts or logic to offer you anything either.

Straw man You have a belief which from the inside you seem unable to explain and from the outside it seems impossible to understand. When numbers contradict your arguments, the numbers don’t tell the story because X. When trends appear to contradict your theory, you have an alternate explanation. When you find that everyone is failing to understand the truth except you, there are two broad categories of explanation. (1) You are, compared to the graduate-level educated crowd in which you find yourself, uniquely perceptive, or (2) you are in error. Consider that even smart guys sometimes believe their own interpretations past when they should have been put aside. And that behavior (though not necessarily by particularly bright people) is a cardinal feature of aggy, SEC apologists, and BC of SP+ fame.

So 7 Mack recruits went to the NFL after playing for CS, but the rate of making it to the league went down as CS coached Mack’s guys. You may not appreciate it, but you are making the case I was challenging you to refute.

Here is a Link to a list of the ‘Horns on NFL rosters as of yesterday. The burden of proof is on him who would argue with the masses. Use that list to show that Charlie brought in a wave of NFL talent that meaningfully surpassed what had been here in the late Mack years. Or let it drop quietly.

They used to be in the precursors to two of those leagues, didn’t they? edit and not the SEC or B1G

BC/SP+: Texas should beat LaTech by 12 Vegas: Texas should beat LaTech by 21 Texas: hold my beer.

No, I insist they were 8-4 in their OOC games

B12 9-0 (9-0) 1 to go (OU) B1G 12-2 (12-2) PAC 8-3 (8-3) counting WSU as win and USC pending SEC 9-5 (8-4 OOC) ACC 7-6 (4-3) Louisville to go SEC 4th out of P5 in OOC win %

1. Eat dirt, SEC and fluffers 2. I’m through with any grudge I may have carried against Mack Love this win

They’re saying “PRU-itt”

If you find yourself wanting to use the word racist, or any variation thereof, please go post in CR. This thread is for patting ourselves on the back for firing our last HC and for chronicling his failures at USF.

FIGHT

South Florida doesn’t have the athleticism to keep up with these Big 10 burners.

This gives me an idea for some metrics to track. HFC win percent effect versus school historic average (overall, current P5, FBS, conference) and HFC NCAA major violation effect versus historic average. Edit: it would be interesting to see the coach effects factoring in something like Huck’s adjusted stats.

Rebuttal: QB: Mond was easily the best QB on the field, and there were multiple SEC signal callers in the stadium. Jimbo is a QB whisperer. RB: Corbin gashed TxSt repeatedly, often actually gaining yards in the teeth of an defense that played its super bowl last night. OL: This is recognized as a key position any any team. Green, to pick one example, was so talented that he has been named a starter already. Mond’s Pocket was so clean that he was able to walk out after the game under his own power. TE: Clemson will be stuck playing the guessing game trying to game-plan for the ag’s Use of TEs as Jimbo brilliantly directed his offense to a blowout win without tipping his hand here. They pretty much decoyed at The top in-state SEC home stadium last night. WR: undeniable team strength. Abused the TxSt’s vaunted “golfers in the rough” recruits. DE: Lack of sacks doesn’t tell the story of how this unit unloaded on the ‘cats at roaring Kyle field. Did not allow enough time to make a sandwich on more than the most insignificant smattering of plays. DT: Another undeniable strength. JMad, Peevy, and co making redass ags remember how great the wrecking crew could be. With similar opponents and upgrades at a few surrounding positions, this D could wreck some shop. LB: Smart money says Buddy may be the best ag LB in decades if not ever. Feaster never publicly denied the well known fact that he chose SC to allow extra time to get ready for this bunch instead of staying at Clemson or transferring to his first choice at TxSt. DB: They don’t call A&M DBU for nothing. Leon beat out a handful of talented freshman for the starting S nod, and two different SEC starting corners faced that shocked TSU receiver core. Summary: Clemson better look out. Moral means good, and the ags’ victories are moral ones no doubt.
