  1. This. The Chronicle article said apartment with Grandpa. Mama Dunn says en casa de Dunn. That seems like a big detail to get wrong in a story about relocating a kid to a safer home.
  2. Hat tip to @Dennis Taylor for suggesting to look it up. FWK’s gym is on land owned, per the tax records, by DUNNCO PROPERTIES II LTD10318 LAKE RD STE 103AHOUSTON TX 77070-1873
  3. I can’t imagine there was any money received by Whitfield from the Dunns, nor any agreement that Whitfield would package the players in return.
  4. I thought Fingers was shutting it down
  5. The nicknames could be on the capes on the defensive recruits. Not sure what to do if ATH guys are aren’t projecting clearly as O or D.
  6. One thought: Have a panel of our self-appointed surly recruiting experts rate them on floor (not ready, contributor, star, e.g.), ceiling, and overall take urgency (pass, depth, take, hold a spot, e.g.). Assign numeric values to the ratings.
  7. Okafor 277 Braun 442 Kerstetter 619 Shack 1050 Cosmi 1123 The median rank for them (981) and us (619) are comparable. I think we can agree that they are helped less protecting their passer with their #1 rated guy at #15 Green than we are with our lowest rated, #1123 Cosmi.
  8. Yeah, I think that .8958 phenom won't be there to help aggy until 2021 at the earliest-- you know, after the next natty.
  9. Aggy is 1-6 against each of LSU and Bama, 0-0 against UGA since joining the SEC. Using 1 in 7 as a probability for winning any given tough game seems fair. They are 28-14 against the rest of the conference. Using 2/3 as a probability seems a bit (not un)fairly harsh, so let's assign a probability with only half the chance of a loss: 5/6. Obviously this involves some generalization and a few other assumptions, but that would put the likelihood of beating all the (conference) weak sisters at 40%, compared to that of losing to all the better teams of 54%. If one uses the historically documented 2/3 figure, that 40% drops to 13%
  10. Preseason Hinton composite and postseason AP presented from 2018.
  11. Here is Hinton's composite. Note that he has us at 13, behind aggy and Auburn, to name a couple. We should save these and the S&P+ for comparison to final standings to see who is best at predicting CFB: GAs working for FB coaches, hacks working for newspapers, or would-be statisticians who combined Microsoft Excel with recent years' box scores.
  12. Of course the van driver will state that he stopped and looked for cross-traffic.
  13. Will probably be a natural leader of whatever team he happens to be on this year-- he may even already have an idea who it will be.
  14. The whole thing sounds odd. He might have had discitis with a big abscess (spine infection) that was thought for a while to be run of the mill back pain. The verbiage about how it "could have gone to his heart" is boilerplate; any infection could spread to the heart, but it sounds like this one did not. It is also possible to have back pain, "self medicate," and get infection at the "treatment" site. That is actually a more common problem, but not one you want to accuse someone of having without some evidence.
  15. Happened to me (car pulled into my path) about 20 years ago. Spent 7 weeks in the hospital, but with good care and by the grace of God got back into one piece. Never got back on one. R I P Ced— touched many peoples’ lives.
  16. That’s a garbage take. It’s not like the university raped him. Dude had a HFC on the down slide but was given the chance to play for the NC. Any alumnus who is in the horns down club can go sit in the corner til he gets his head out of his ass.
  17. Aggy would be thrilled to share their wives with flip their 5* QB recruit to Bama. It’s what a coattail-riding cuck program lives for.
  18. 18 was great but, in part due to unforeseeable circumstance, didn’t address needs at RB or LB as well as might be desired. It remains to be seen how well those future classes will ultimately round out all positions.
  19. MRI can show interrupted or elongated fibers and increased signal on T2 when there is edema or hematoma. Grade 1 may not even show up. Grade 2 will have some changes but show at least some fibers in continuity. Grade 3 will look bad.
  20. Stable doesn’t rule out a meniscus tear, but tends to mean nothing season-ending. “Sprain” gets used a little casually to include what some would call “strain.” Sprain technically means injury to a ligament, the link between bones. A neck sprain would thus be a spinal injury and potentially serious. I’m guessing it’s really a strain, though. Pulled muscle of the neck is a pain in the neck but unlikely to make him miss game time unless it is high grade.
  21. Even when Nick Saban is coaching and “Alabama” is on the jerseys, when the average player is a top 300 blue-chipper, the game is played by a couple dozen teens/ early 20s young men. Quarterbacks have bad days. Bama could lose to aggy. Not likely, though. The rest of the SEC gets 5 chances to beat the gomers compared to only 4 chances to score an upset. 9 wins is possible, but I really doubt it. I think 7 is most likely, followed by 8, much less chance of 6 or 9, can’t see anything else (regular season).
