Eagles had surgery a week or so ago.

They said it was minor and he would be ready to play by week one. I guess giving him another week to recover makes sense.

[Machinator 32,099]

Burt has also been said to have a good camp. I'm not sure if he's Gaskamp Award-eligible, but it would be nice for him to have a good send-off season.

Me and Mrs. MM are making the road trip from Florida to watch the game. Our first in DKR, pretty stoked to see it. Rulz and shit

Your missus is quite lovely; the bare-shoulder look looks quite good on her.

So our backup PK is Chris 'people who annoy you'.  Nice...

Yeah, I know.  I play music on the side and took a gig for that night.  My fault.

Worse. Maryland last year was decent before all their QBs got mulched.

Thank God.

with us, I don't think the opponent matters. its a matter of will we give La Tech 50%, 75% or 100%.

Are they shitty enough that we can win with 50%?

[Machinator 32,099]

I don't think so.

Let’s play a version of the quiet game, but the only rule is you can’t type or say Maryland.

Latech is about as Cajun as Texas is aggy. North Louisiana is basically Arkansas’ Sudetenland.

So I guess I'm going to have a hard time finding a place to watch the game in Scottsdale. Anyone out there in the phoenix area know of a place it might be on? I could talk the wife into watching it at a bar, but I don't think I can talk her into sitting in a hotel room while I watch it on my tablet.

This was meant to be a PSA for posts like the one above (geographic restrictions), but maybe some of us don’t have “systems” that we can add “sports” packages to. Further, it’s simply not rational to buy a tv package with a sports package for 2 games when you don’t expect to use the service for anything else.

Saying that the LHN is only good for 2 games is absurd.

If we aren’t up by 3 tds in the 4th and allowing some back ups meaningful snaps. There’s gonna be some shit. 

Surely you know someone in Texas that will let you use their login. I've had LHN for 6 years in NY through AppleTV/Firestick. The only pain is that the stream is about a minute behind the live action.

I'll be in Paris, where I can't use the ESPN app, so hopefully the Reddit stream works.

I would assume so, but you might email Drew Martin to make sure.

Not really what was said...I don’t watch LHN (or other cable tv channels) outside of football. It’d be a better value proposition for me if I watched more tv.

Nah. LSU plays at being Cajun like ATM plays at being SEC. There’s some superficial similarities that seem convincing to the unfamiliar, but ULL or Nicholls St. is where you find the the swamp running frenchies.

Raises hand.

I don’t watch any baseball, basketball, golf, softball, etc (college or pro). But I still love the LHN. I switched to xfinity, but was about o switch back to uverse, mostly for LHN and quality of internet, but I got a login from my Pops and just watch LHN on my phone.

I imagine most of our RB3 options our less than impressive at this point. At least he's a great athlete who has shown in he can run out of the backfield in some form or fashion.

fify (I'm assuming this is what you meant). He's having to retool his whole throwing motion, which isn't a quick process.

I fixed what I'd meant in my post. If he meant RB then lol wtf is even the point of posting that? He's never played it before.

No, I meant as a third team RB. He rushed for a lot of yardage in HS, but hasn’t impressed in his emergency role as a RB. I don’t know if that’s when compared to other actual RB’s or with the filter of a QB taking reps at RB.

I understand the logic of moving him. That observation wasn’t given with any color to expound upon what’s not impressive about him. Just a stand alone comment that caught my eye and I shared.

He has size too. 6'2 220. 

Jarrett Smith is 200 pounds, Watkins is 160, and Jake Smith is 200. Roschon at least has the frame to go find a body and hit somebody as a lead blocker for Ehlinger. 

 

[GoldAppleCorps 619]

It doesn't really matter if our opening opponent is better or worse. The Texas Longhorns should be a better football team. That should make all the difference.

We entered the last two seasons with gaping flaws. During the season, those flaws were fixed or worked around (largely worked around). We tried to scheme around an OL that could probably run block, but couldn't pass protect.

This time last season, the QB1 battle was still hotly debated.

We, of course, haven't proven anything yet. Just because the OL should be better doesn't mean it will be. These things are only judged when an angry defense pounds on it. We're replacing errbody on the defense, and they should be stronger and faster. That's no guarantee that they won't still turn in circles like they were trained by Tudor Electric Football as we've seen in the previous openers.

If these things are fixed, then I can look forward to a season fighting for hardware at the end. If they aren't, it will be just another "nice" season of watching football.
