    Otherwise generally rational people fight wars over their middle-eastern geopolitical stances. Surprise or outrage that some degree of those same considerations might have affected the decision not to retain an expensive and unsuccessful employee would seem a bit fatuous. I doubt we'll ever get to know what really motivated the Johnsons, if they truly even know themselves. They were willing to hire the first openly Muslim HC in the NFL. The downside for them is that means he has to succeed, quit, die, or else they have to fire the first openly Muslim HC in the NFL. And now he's fired. To the credit of all involved (not counting, obviously, the self-inserting public outrage movement), I have not read anything unbecoming in their public statements.

    It is a business deal. The permanent 8 would be the ones whose presence makes the deal worth what it is. 10 years of bad Michigan or bad Texas football draws more eyeballs than do 10 years of success at NMSU. If you want Notre Dame, Michigan, USC, and Texas to volunteer to be subject to relegation, you may not be 100% rational.

    Yes. Quinn showed us that he gets this now, I think.

    That was indeed my problem. Thanks for that prompt and helpful reply.

    This is a big deal. No NLI. No signing day. B10 and SEC will be able to keep over 3000 CFB players on scholarship between them. Texas better have a lot of brain power and manpower allocated to recruiting 24/7/365, and that includes recruiting the guys already in orange.

    Good news for Washington, I guess.

    I have been watching games through the Hulu app on my AppleTV connected to an actual TV. I have signed up for a subscription to YTTV. I am able to see the expected channels on my laptop when I log in to YouTube. When I launch the YouTube app (even after re-loading it) on either the AppleTV or directly on the TV, I do not see YouTube TV as a choice in my app. I have double-checked that I am logged in with the same gmail account as on the laptop. I would love help troubleshooting this, please.

    Agree. The other post-UGA opponents have sleepers or bye ahead of us, but Florida is not going to focus too much extra on us.

    TEXAS 45-10 Rushing 250-150 good guys

    I think people are too down on UGA and Bama. They are good teams, and I think either wins at least 6 times out of ten against Indiana, Miami, or ISU on a neutral field. Ranking them below those teams to me raises the question of what exactly does the ranking mean? To me it means ceteris paribus who is more likely to win a neutral site game.

    As usual by October, it has become clear that there are not ten teams deserving of being in the top ten, nor 25 worthy of being in the top 25.

    If your work causes you to live in your last place choice of city, perhaps you'd be happier in a different job.

    Translating for Gundy: Commissioner = control by the old middle of the pack over the new superpowers Mack Brown = a reprise of a past in which Texas doesn't have laser beams for eyes Save the sport = try to stop the future from arriving

    Those stats are not procedure-, implant-, sport-, or position- specific. They are worst for basketball overall though. EDIT Limitations on explosive power are neuromuscular. The tendon either ruptures or doesn't. Sometimes the muscle rehab doesn't go well, sometimes psych factors limit explosive power. In terms of the repair limiting it, either the tendon re-ruptures or it doesn't.
  18. Magus Ossis
    Yes EDIT with a re-rupture incidence of about 5%

    After Achilles tear and repair, most players do return (70-80 percent). Most that return are not as good 1 year out. That effect tends to wash out by 2 years for those who actually do return.

    Not to go all sour grapes here, but is someone with great prospects elsewhere who signs with Auburn these days accidentally telling us something about his insight and/or priorities?
  21. Magus Ossis
    Aggies. Should always be #5 for the fifth wheel.

    Assuming those OU fans are actually believers, I wonder what they imagine their creator thinks of being used as part of football trash talk.

    What do you want to do on our vacation? I know! Let's go to Austin to see the historic School of Social Work Building. Said no one ever.
