  1. Hits the holes and the hoes equally hard, ammiright? Breaks long runs and girls' jaws? Or am I remembering the wrong guy?
  2. If my model produced this, I would throw my computer in a lake of fire and give up writing models.
  3. Total defense is not a statistically penetrating tool. Any model can lead one astray, but total D is particularly unhelpful. ESPN FPI defensive efficiency, e.g., rates OU #10. Not elite, but not a failing grade. Or, you could use statistics that are more affected by their bad offense, like total D. You do you.
  4. He's a closet Texas fan
  5. Or give each team 3 injury times-out. One is expended for each injury stoppage. After that, conventional TOs are automatically expended. When those are exhausted, players who cause a stoppage are out for X minutes of game clock.
  6. Surly dress code talk not going away A virtual place that openly defies conventional rules of decorum yet populated by defenders of the dress code of their youth Yesterday's mores regarding dress are fading away. I have an annual meeting which features occasions for black tie and for formal dress, but other than that, I rarely wear a suit and tie, let alone tux or tailcoat. In my circle, people wear scrubs to work even when that work is in an office setting.
  7. Some lawyer help me please: when can minors enter binding contracts?
  8. He basically works for them. They are standing en masse to wave a towel overhead as their employee processes up a hotel meeting room aisle before giving them 20 minutes of platitudes.
  9. SEC and B1G don't need to rush into project Rudy. They don't need to give up equity for whatever startup capital they need for a new enterprise. Prestige Worldwide is already here in its infantile form, and there will almost certainly be at least one more significant development. There is a 12-team playoff that every serious expert expects to be at least 50% populated by just 2 conferences going forward. If those two conferences don't work out a deal that reasonably maximizes outcomes for their combined "big boys," expect the informal and off-the-record conversations among said big boys to heat up. Notre Dame is a great master of the cabal because it has no football conference meeting rules and virtually no reporting requirements of conversations.
  10. First line is correct I will be looking for you After the beat-down
  11. Bat your teammate's head Screwdriver against a girl Smash a girl's head in
  12. Am I the only one who thinks those who write for a living should demonstrate an understanding of the difference between core and corps? Text messages and bulletin board posts are one thing, but paid and published content shouldn't appear to have been written by Aggies.
  13. Tying payouts to future ratings has a logic. Are you saying, though, that tier status would be ratings-based rather than on-the-field: i.e., would Tech for example have not only to be a dominant team but to average in the top 16 for viewership to get top 16 money? This is a deal that absolutely depends on the participation of a large percentage of the blue-bloods. It will work just fine without any given 10 of the "second 32." The 2nd 32 are in no danger of making less in the new agreement than they do now. The blue bloods could theoretically make less if relegated. Notre Dame is unlikely to sign onto an agreement that says UCF may be two tiers above them in prestige, exposure, and money based on how things turn out. If UCF doesn't like it, they can organize a league of teams that think the old-school big-draw teams are greedy. That league would pay out a tiny fraction of the third-tier shares for agreeing to pamper the guys whose current value creates the opportunity for the league. If this league happens, it will be because Texas, ND, Michigan, tOSU, USC, etc want it. They will then agree to terms that permit other teams to play along. The teams that want to play along will have the chance to move up and down. But the guys whose league it really is are not going to want to move down. Telling the senior partners of a newly forming enterprise that they should consider allowing themselves to become junior is not how the world works.
  14. I have a new program, sort of a medical charity. We will be relocating children from rural Texas who are orphaned, have severe emotional disturbance, and have at most an IQ of 78.3. The new homes will be in Tulsa, OKC, and Norman. When the. project is complete, the estimated effect will be a mean IQ increase of at least 0.07 for both Texas and Oklahoma.
  15. I don't think the question is about injury or W/L records. Increasingly, the name of the game is money. So the question is, is there the potential for money from a late April, e.g., game between Alabama and Oregon? Played in Texas to help both teams' recruiting?
  16. In all seriousness, how long will it be before we see something like a one-off "exhibition" inter-squad spring matchup once the NCAA loses its last vestiges of control over Prestige WorldWide Football?
  17. Reduced to misdemeanor because he wasn't in his right mind: it was a "high" crime.
  18. And recovering fumbles is a less repeatable statistic, generally.
