  1. Despite all appearances, the scoreboard says this is not so.
  2. That prediction has herbies.
  3. Also, how great is it that the best ball-holder is a "HOTY!"
  4. I'm sure someone else remembers the details better than I, but there is some precedent for the NCAA to rule a prospect ineligible to receive athletic aid from a specific school based on recruiting irregularities, even absent a major violation or other sanction against the school.
  5. He's doing great. Unlikely he'll need it any time soon with awards like this, but he is getting a UT education-- he didn't fall into the Jock's trap of thinking he didn't come here to play school.
  6. We Run from This State
  7. No one here is arguing that throwing regularly to the RB as a primary target is good. If the study supports that that WRs are generally better 1st reads than RBs, it will have achieved "water is wet" levels of insight.
  8. 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."
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. RitzBit Cracker didn't offer?
  12. 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.
  13. Aggy depth chart is out. 3 freshmen on the OL 2-deep, including a true freshman starter. Power moves.
  14. MSU past = Gata future?
  15. A good RB breaks would-be tacklers’ ankles. Ours are so great they can break their own.
  16. Stinks for Young. Sounds like by the time he is back, he may have been passed over (further) on the depth chart.
  17. Didn’t the dead of Des Moines beat them 13-6 last year?
  18. Problem with releasing all this now is people have a chance to get bored with it long before USC hires Urban
  19. 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.
  20. Track IP, commence Surly anti-turd internet warfare
  21. I might have totally invented one of those
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Weak but yes. Risk of developing cancer from it maybe 1 in 1,000.
