2008 was much better on offense. The offense really missed Cosby and Ogbonnaya in 2009. Though I wonder if some of the struggle was also a result of opponents doing a lot of film study on the Colt Mccoy offense over the summer and finding a few answers. Both teams kind of sucked on the OL. (McWhorter has to be the worst recruiting assistant coach that we've had). 2009 was probably better on defense, but they also didn't have to play Sam Bradford, Crabtree, Terrelle Pryor, etc, so that helped. (Not unlike our defense last year who also dominated a slate of bad offenses but showed to be a bit more mortal in the playoffs). Overall IMO 2008 was the better team, though 2009 probably had the better chance to win the NC just because the competition was weaker.

Where did he say that Flood was wrong? CTJ's point is that there might be more to the story as far as *why* Flood is doing it, not that Flood is an idiot. Though I think Bobby's explanation (Robertson is OL #6 and we need to prepare for what that means) does make sense.

If Bond has his head on straight then it's a great move for Cleveland. Basically a free draft pick.

I feel like Quinn would clear waivers and thus I expect practice squad. But we'll see...

Those guys had Clinton Portis, Frank Gore, and Willis Mcgahee on the same roster at one point lol.

IMO the unlimited transfers is the one thing that really needs to be fixed, and it turns out it's quite easy to do so: just allow players to sign binding multi-year pay for play contracts. The attempts to identify "legitimate" NIL just brings us back to a system where we reward cheaters. Only this time it's even easier to cheat because there are many legitimate avenues to launder the money through. (If you think about it rules were much easier to enforce when players weren't allowed to take any money whatsoever).

The day TOF goes straight to the AD is the day I stop contributing. The AD needs to fund the $20M on their own from ticket sales, media payouts, etc. The purpose of TOF is to be additional compensation beyond the $20M.

No doubt but there was an order of magnitude difference between the typical handshakes and the bag drops SEC schools were doing pre-NIL. And now there is another order of magnitude difference between those bag drops and the "NIL" today. For players in the UT roster they are probably literally making 100x what they were before NIL... (Talking in terms of pure cash, not counting the value of the scholarships and whatnot).

If true they spent way too much money for a mediocre QB

The Rockets have a ton of talent but they were one of the worst teams in the NBA in half court offense. Clearly they got KD with the idea that he'll help solve that one weakness, and he isn't gonna do that by standing on the 3 point line like Ray Allen on the Heat! That's all I'm saying.

Yeah whether he can stay healthy is a big question for sure. Hope it goes well!

Of course they will keep his minutes down in the meaningless regular season, but you gotta be kidding me suggesting Sengun would be the #1 option on offense. He averaged 19 ppg on 54% TS compared to KD averaging 26 ppg at 64% TS. KD is far and away the best offensive player in that roster and got him specifically because they needed a number one option down the stretch of close games. It's not at all like Ray Allen standing on the 3 point line watching prime LeBron James and Dwayne Wade. That's just silly.

Uhmm, who do you think will be the #1 offensive option on the rockets over Kevin Durant? I'm sorry but Ray Allen on the heat is not a great comparison. Maybe more like Shaq when he went to Miami.

So is this guy 100% Tech, or is Texas still trying to get him?

Fairly unlikely that Bell gets two years with Arch. He may not even get one year with Arch.
