  1. Yeah. I don't think it was ever good. But it was awesome. They definitely mixed it it with highlights towards the end of its use. Was the John Steinbeck intro part of it or after it?
  2. My wife and I just had this conversation the other day, and we decided the answer is Jordan Shipley. Then, she let me know that him and Colt were roommates.
  3. I remember a thread about Duvernay having too many drops. He had 0 career drops when it was created.
  4. Y'all acting like DKR wasn't just grass recently and most of UT doesn't have grass everywhere. I think the artificial turf went in with Godzillatron. If there was a big injury difference, you'd think that injuries would be much more prominent than they are considering almost everyone practices on artificial turf even if they play on grass. There are already less hard, cooler artificial turf products and everything new turf is permeable. I think grass is nicer. I'd rather play around poorer weather on artificial turf, but I don't really care either way.
  5. The soccer issue is entirely different. The ball doesn't play the same on each surface. It's closer to when tennis pros refuse to play on clay (the French Open).
  6. Soccer is a different animal altogether. It's more like tennis surface in the sense that it changes the way the ball bounces and rolls. MLS uses artificial turf, but it isn't the type that NFLPA is trying to ban. It kind of important to note that NY(J) doesn't either.
  7. It is this. Natural turf is pretty widely considered the superior playing surface when it is good shape. But it's better to play on artificial than Mizzou's old grass. The transition to artificial turf is both about domes and the number of events that you want to hold on the surface. Grass needs to recover and it takes weeks to root when re-sod.
  8. Yes, but you get to burn a full 40 instead of the 25.
  9. Yes. And ordering them by deviation against weekly polls only reinforces the idea that the closer they vote to the poll the better their votes are. They should be ordered based on game results - like how few upsets according to ballot that they've had.
  10. Haha. Work and football brains are blending. But in college and high school jamming downfield is common and actually more common than jamming at the line. It's illegal in the NFL.
  11. This is Barron's decision tree on his interception. He has to carry and disrupt #2 enough so that the CB and Safety have time to work over the top. That's why it looks like either a man coverage or trap coverage.
  12. I'm pretty sure student section. Night game. Troy was an upset watch team back then and the game went poorly for LSU. I think LSU needed a late TD to win. Place was packed. Rooting for LSU. Maybe some of the usual light-hearted jeering, but nothing angry or fighty. "Wearing the wrong color; long way from Austin" and crap like that. Full disclosure: It was like 10 of us (UT and LSU) and most of us were big dudes. Probably not the sort that generic college guy would have looked at and said, 'I'm gonna fuck with that group.'
  13. Your instincts are correct. This is zone. ...I mean the play itself not what you drew.
  14. I visited for the Troy game in 2004 (I had friends in BR at the time) and had no issue in full Texas attire, but I've also heard from other SEC school fans it's the worst place to go.
  15. Here are their punts: 50 yards - fielded at 15 33 yards - out of bounds at 15 40 yards - fair caught at 12 42 yards - fair caught at 44 44 yards - fielded at 30 42 yards - fielded at 27
  16. Mike Stoops was a candidate for LB coach.
  17. You mean Banana Pop. Bomb Pops are red, white, and blue.
  18. Things to talk about at the watercooler: Follow ups from last week: Colorado may actually be good. Tech and Baylor lost again, but played tough games against Oregon and Utah, who should both be good this year. Throw these two teams in the "need more information" pile. Illinois is probably actually bad. They lost to Kansas, who isn't terrible this year, but it was a convincing win. Iowa won El Assico 20-13. Still doesn't look like their year. Nebraska lost to Colorado, and Minnesota has a not very impressive 25-6 over Eastern Michigan. It's now a trend: the west division of the B1G is terrible. Oklahoma came back down to earth a bit against a team with somewhat of a pulse, 28-11 over SMU. Washington had a serviceable win over Tulsa. Call me a believer now for their top 10 spot. I'm putting UCF back on ignore after a plodding win over Boise State. They may be better than expected, but not attention-worthy. Week 2 Games and Thoughts: Texas rolls Tide Enough has been said, so quick question to ponder. Did any position group for Bama look better than any position group for Texas? Tennessee over Austin Peay 30-13 I can't tell you where Austin Peay even is, but I assume that being 0-1 in FCS is a bad thing. Wazzou over Wisconsin, 31-22 When trying to figure out which conferences actually play better ball in 2 months, this battle of lowbies was both surprising and convincing. There really weren't many other surprising upsets or wins this week. Pretty much everyone else in the state of Texas lost, but the only unexpected one was Rice over UH. Other Trends: USC's three games have an average score of 59 - 17. USC is back? Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State are on autopilot. I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not right now. The rest of their league is going to be terrible. Throw Georgia in this camp as well, they won't play a ranked game until November, if those teams are even still ranked.
  19. Seems like if Milroe took a single step forward, they didn't score it a sack.
  20. I was close enough on the Bama score and yards. Thought we would struggle more on offense with the running game slowed down. Ewers was fire.
