  1. They are having trouble squaring away Bama being terrible last year with them going undefeated outside of our game and winning the SEC!SEC!SEC! last year.
  2. I might as well chime in this year. This ended up being be a sort of a longcat, but I don't visit this thread often: Started the year 225 with a Halloween goal of 205. I know that it doesn't sound like much, but I'm also trying to gain around 20 lbs of muscle in that time, so I'm really trying to cut closer to 40 lbs of bad weight. See below's response to Brew for a full picture, but I'm trying to regain some not-insignificant, long-lost upper body strength No drugs. CICO/WFMM diet, which for me means cutting carbs (mostly in the form of snacks and binge meals), while just all-around eating cleaner foods. I cook 90% of my own meals, so mostly replacing rice and pasta with veggies. Stress and sleep end up being my weaknesses more than anything. I use caffeine (either plain old coffee or GTE/Vit B) in the morning to help with sleep cycle. Light strength training with walks/runs/bikes around the neighborhood for exercise. My boy's spring soccer is about to start and it'll give me 2 days/week for more structured cardio when that happens. I'm terribly inconsistent about exercising. With 4 kids and a salaried desk job, I basically just try to take advantage of what I get. I'm currently below 217, with essentially no strength or muscle gains (or losses for that matter). I'm closing in on a decade past 4 elbow surgeries followed by months of PT. Without knowing your exact situation, my only advice is to listen to your body. Figure out what's painful in a good way vs painful in a bad way - if that makes sense. Know your limits, do what you can, and eventually you'll be able to add more. And I'll add that patience really helps and that, for general health, walking is underrated.
  3. "Your honor, restricting timing of NIL deals reduces player leverage. Players have maximum leverage before they sign and enroll." "So you are saying that players have the most NIL leverage when they are only recognizable to a small number of people, mostly recruiting board fans?" "Yes, your honor, because we are not paying them for the marketability of their NIL." "Then what are they being paid for?" "To sign, enroll, and play for the University of Tennessee." "And this is legal in Tennessee?" "Technically, no, your honor, it is not. But we are also using legal pretenses... carefully worded contracts and such, you honor... so that we can pretend to not be doing that." ---- I'm not taking a stance either way, just pointing out the absurdity of the situation.
  4. It's clear some of y'all have never been to either Tuscaloosa or Seattle.
  5. I went back and.looked who else. Mario Christobal at Oregon and Heupel at UCF were other notables. Heupel is really the only one that worked out. Honestly, Kelly might be runner up out of that group. UCLA's problems are above the HC level.
  6. " " "Everyone oozes confidence until they get punched in the mouth. - Joe Lewis" - Mike Tyson" - Tim Hartford" - JBJ
  7. Bad overhyped DEs/OLBs are a pet peeve of mine. Chaisson wasn't good and was a net negative when you consider him vs the run. OU has had a handful of overhyped DEs that almost single-handedly let worse Texas teams beat them. Eric Stryker comes to mind, and he was voted as an All-American. For whatever reason, sports media loves the dudes who can get upfield quickly even when the run goes right into the giant gap they just opened.
  8. I don't think it can now in the portal era. You can easily churn through 100+ players over 4 years without being an unethical pos. Pre-portal, with normal attirbution, it was hard to overcome. ---- The last time someone did a deep dive on recruiting rankings, wins, and draft picks, the conclusion was that quantity absolutely destroys quality. As an example, one of the worst places to go as a top 100 player if you wanted to be drafted was Alabama. Their bust rate was in the 70% range, but they just had so many that they were sending a handful every draft and that drove perception.
  9. I think that I might have known that, but he's the most recognizable player from that era.
  10. Then there was the ever-present Football player rapist
  11. ESPN once put out a mock draft the week of the draft that missed on 20 first rounders.
  12. He carries it well, then.
  13. Yeah, we have a few guys on the roster that just aren't going to grow into the position or have shrunk (Ross, Swanson, Bledsoe). Bo could coach, but this has to be the weakest position as far as recruiting.
  14. I think getting talent from a school like Michigan in the spring will be difficult. I don't think many players in starting or heavy rotational spots will want to re-enroll, hit reset, and compete for a spot again in the fall.
  15. Understatement of the year. He's probably the leading mind in the NFL currently. Fangio has a good coaching tree (defensive guys at least), but this is a far down and short-lived experience.
  16. Without a common force to keep posters in line, their default condition is one of "shitposting;" and it is a war of every man against every man. For "shitposting" is not merely posting a useless meme or the act of trolling. "Shitposting" is a period of time in which it is well known that posters will join the activity readily. It is a disposition to post terrible shit in times when there are no assurances to the contrary.
  17. Do you even Riemannian geometry, bro?
  18. Soccer scholarships actually exist? I thought they were like unicorns and dinosaurs.
  19. Which is why they are bad at football.
  20. I can't recall at the moment any Papuans or Fijians that were any good.
  21. Not all Polynesians are Somoan.
  22. He saw snaps at both 0 and 4/5 End on 3-man fronts. That's probably where the 33% comes from. He was never really an edge player.
