I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the following are all statistically desirable: WRs that get separation, OL that give QBs time, and QBs that can read more than one WR route. Subtract from that list, and you have the conclusion of the "analysis."

I don't disagree. I listed him as hopefully available for LSU, as prep for that game starts in 9 days. I threw him at the end of the 2020 possibilities (after the FR-HS for that year) as a way of acknowledging the great chance that he will either stay at QB, go back to QB, fail to add up to anything as RB, or transfer to get a better crack at QB elsewhere. But he might just work out as RB.

Against LaTech (fingers crossed) we need a RB who can help pick up blitzes and can gain enough yards to keep the defense honest if they're tempted to drop everyone into coverage. Against LSU, depending on how recovery and future injury luck bites us, we will have Ingram, Whittington, R. Johnson, and Smith available. Ideally we would get a true RB1 every year, keeping them for 3. It looks like we'll have arguably 2 instead of 3 guys who could be called RB1 types, and a third string who lacks experience (in two senses) but has a lot of talent. Our health problems (Kirk, Brown, Young, Ingram, Whittington), unfortunately, seem heavily concentrated at RB. Our QB recruiting has actually been good, but similar luck at that spot would already have ruined this season before it starts. That said, I am disappointed to see us continue to struggle at recruiting and depth at the position coached by the guy who normally should be helping boost other spots on the roster. Next year looks possibly better (high variability) with maybe Ingram, Whittington, maybe Brown, Bijan, maybe Ty, and maybe R. Johnson at the position. That could very likely be a stable of 6 quality backs. Depending though on NFL, true recovery from known injury/medical, landing expected prospects, and aptitude/tolerance for position change, we could still be left with no one.

RitzBit Cracker didn't offer?

Aggy was cheating in the 60s under Stallings. Politicians including LBJ got involved to press for keeping it under wraps. DKR was bitter, especially after losing in '67, and after that would leave the starters in later in the game against Stallings as his way of saying fuck you.

Aggy depth chart is out. 3 freshmen on the OL 2-deep, including a true freshman starter. Power moves.

MSU past = Gata future?

A good RB breaks would-be tacklers’ ankles. Ours are so great they can break their own.

Stinks for Young. Sounds like by the time he is back, he may have been passed over (further) on the depth chart.

Didn’t the dead of Des Moines beat them 13-6 last year?

Problem with releasing all this now is people have a chance to get bored with it long before USC hires Urban

Bear in mind that most of those breasts are at least 50 years old. And/or cancerous. And the images show no skin. Carry on.

Track IP, commence Surly anti-turd internet warfare

I might have totally invented one of those

I like this for a new addition to the Surly lexicon. Has one meaning when the subject is a Surl and an entirely different one when it is a recruit.

It's amazing. There are a few "we aren't D1 coaches and need to trust coach Brown Strong Herman" types around, but the overall tone here if we tried to roll with no OT and no plan to get one would be pitchforks and game-day airplane banners.

Youth and lack of size at QB and OT is a set-up for offensive crisis. You can get defensive scores and a runaway result.

Weak but yes. Risk of developing cancer from it maybe 1 in 1,000.

Terrible news. No one should have to bury his son. RIP Luke. Trivia: Burkitt was laughed out of the room when he presented his theory that this form of cancer could have an infectious etiology. While there are sporadic cases too, it is now known to be caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (also the cause of mono).

The Sugar may be interesting. The OU squad we relegate to play there may match mirror images of offensive versus defensive excellence and futility, compared to LSU.

It's apparently hard to beat his principal conference rivals, too.

There doesn't have to be a grand conspiracy for there to be shenanigans. We have, it would seem, testimony under oath that multiple colleges reported FWK's shopping Demas around-- shenanigans. We have a transfer "for safety of the kid," leaving the younger siblings behind-- odd. We have incompatible stories about where he actually moved and with whom he lived-- shenanigans. Multiple people are intervening in where this teenager lives, where he goes to HS, and where he will likely go to college for reasons that trace back to his FB talent but which are being represented as anything but. Those people have business relationships among each other and with aTm. A variegated patchwork of aggy boosters and self-interest-seekers that lacks true leadership or a master plan is no more honest or morally acceptable merely because of its disorganization or incompetence.

Winning sells. Bama winning sells more of some things than does Texas losing. Texas winning sells more than most imaginable alternatives.

He should have been able to predict that.
