    You are missing the point, whether deliberately I can’t say. The point was not that I like the practice— I do not. The point is that the practice is well-known and refuted what you were saying.

    Ooh, recency limits. Great! Your conference scoring defense average over the last 260 days is 74.

    I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and suppose you only to be a bit stubborn and slow. Texas showed a repeated pattern in 2018 of pounding opponents and then turtling to hold on to a lead with Uber-conservative play calling. It has been rehashed ad nauseum. Do some reading and minimize the confusion of your honest ignorance with wanton stupidity or deliberate disingenuity.

    Those funny helmets have been shown to help cushion the mechanical effect of direct blows. It stands to reason but is not yet well-shown in the literature that they reduce the frequency and severity of head trauma. There is some concern further design work may be needed to ensure they slide against the ground better to make sure they don’t unintentionally increase other injuries like bending-moment c-spine injuries. My guess is that fatter helmets will become the norm within a few years, with extra padding in some fashion.

    Except their suckitude is apparently a recruiting selling point. Come and start because our current starters are trash! I think humiliating them in Dallas and having our other recruits live it up publicly on social media will help, though.

    There was a snafu in summer II course schedules. ART 3312, More Fun with Crayons, was supposed to be offered in the evening but ended up conflicting with practice. Until they get it ironed out, academics come first, and that means class attendance comes before football.

    UT. I didn’t feel like expending the effort to find the right number at IMG, but UT has a listed number for what looks like a relevant office. Others should feel free to let IMG know if they like.

    Voicemail left at 475-7923, Office of Brand, Trademarks and Licensing.

    PILDo?

    Report that to UT licensing and save him the embarrassment of having put them into circulation

    I wonder how much similarity there is between some of Orlando's concepts and the defense Aranda ran against them. LSU had a pretty good day against UGA, too.

    Busted! You got me.

    I stand corrected. Well put.

    Thanks. If Overshown has more of a true ankle sprain than a midfoot one (the direction I am led by the description you give of the interview), it is probably not a big deal-- I think everyone here has been around a few ankle sprains. If Kirk has a sternoclavicular (SC) sprain, the timing could be similar to the much more common acromioclavicular (AC) variety-- dependent on severity of the ligamentous injury. Grade I-- maybe back in days, maybe weeks. Grade 2 -- weeks, probably at least the rest of camp. I think an Xray would have already shown something if there were a grade 3 (likely kiss the season goodbye) injury. In truth, even grade 2 might show up if the Xrays were done well.

    Texas beat OU one game and lost another. Previous H2H is not a completely reliable predictor of who will win a game, let alone the transitive property of football. To use the relative severity of the beatings Bama delivered to OU and ND in some vain quest to decide which would beat the other for some hypothetical consolation prize is fatuous.

    I don't think Ogre is in any particular danger. LSU is talented. I think a bag of hammers could coach them to 9 wins this year, so 8+ is definitely in reach.

    Don't forget OG. OT, CB need not apply.

    Brutal! I love it

    So basically, granting you a condition contrary to fact (getting another stop), OU would still have lost. We may be using different terminology, but I think what I would describe as showing heart and refusing to quit, you are describing as a comeback. Webster's applicable definition of comeback is If being down by 2 scores was the former condition in the vein of success or prosperity that OU sought, comeback would seem to be the correct term. If victory was desired, I think you are pretty far out on the limb. For aggy, I would buy losing by double digits as a (moral) comeback. For other teams, not so much.
  20. Magus Ossis
    When the team with the 4-TD lead has long drives that result in scores for the entire second half but for one stop, you didn't come back. Comebacks result in victories. Close calls result in one-score outcomes decided in the waning seconds. Beat downs start out with large margins and never change leads.

    DGF — cervical spinal stenosis — OUT for season, to be re-evaluated afterwards. My guess— if he doesn’t get cleared after the season, he will either transfer or have surgery. Surgery means no spring ball, who knows after that. Derrian Brown — “Blood clot in brain” — I never saw more specific diagnosis, but his treatment seems consistent with cerebral sinus thrombosis — OUT for season, prognosis for 2020 cloudy but hopeful if no risk factors for recurrence are identified Kirk — “clavicle issue” — sounds like AC sprain/separation. Days to weeks most likely. Overshown — “midfoot sprain” — Coach Herman seems unconcerned, hopefully with reason. The classic midfoot sprain is a ligamentous Lisfranc injury. If it is grade 1 or 2, he’ll miss some camp. Grade 3, likely done for the year. I doubt he would have been walking around if that’s what it was, though.

    If Kliff crashes and burns, I could see NFL groupthink along the lines of: Riley = Kliff = air raid college coach— do not want.

    A UT board may not be the best place to tout the strengths of an OU losing effort or discuss hypothetical comparisons to past losing OU efforts. That said, I guess this thread needs content, even on the days when there is no documented screwdriver abduction, braining, girlface punching, or evidence hiding.

    They’ll be at peak historic roller coaster going into their Bama game in 2020. When they go from 10-0 (assuming things break their way against Auburn etc) to 10-2, non NYD-6 bowl, lose the usual 4 games in ‘21, etc, they’ll have another “remember ...” moment. Remember that time we almost beat Bama and almost played for a natty— whoop! Sleeping giant back down for another (continuing perpetually from before) snooze.
