    I too would like to see more off tackle slants and QB escapes. However, Florida routinely had 6 in the box. Their defensive philosophy was 'stop the run dead' and QE will wilt under pressure. That philosophy didn't really work. Ultimately the volume of swings forced the linebackers to stay put! Swing passes are really just outside runs. To be accurate, those things should be removed from passing stats and added to run stats.

    Personally, I think a better solution would have injury timeouts charged as a team timeout. Frankly, a lot of those nicked guys can get off the field. I also think any 'injured' player should have to sit out a minimum number of plays..........like 10 or so

    As someone who has had relatives coach there, and a client that coach there, I feel fairly certain that the 'plan', is 'No PLAN'. No one of significance associated with Rice gives a damn about athletics (or P.E. for that matter). You can probably still find a few folks hanging around the R Club (or whatever they call it now) reminiscing about Dicky Moegle, Bubby Dial and Rice Stadium filled to capacity. These guys have no clue about minor league football. Rice is where old coaches go to retire. Seriously, Rice is a really really special place.........but not for football players. If you want to be a world class chemist, or engineer, or astrologer, or doctor........then it should be your desired destination.

    That's always bad news. The economy is going down - fast. All of my clients had a nice surge after Covid which fattened their bank accounts, but this last year or so have been a steady downward trend. Good luck in your search.

    After attending about 30 games at the AD, Traylor has zero to complain about. The PA guy at the Alamo Dome is way over the top. It literally gives you a massive headache.

    This thing depends on which QE shows up...............ie, Dancing With The Stars, or WWF. None the less, I'm going with my heart............Horns 31, Uga 28

    Injury and being a great (or even good) QB are apples and oranges. They are independent. There a plenty of great players that couldn't stay on the field or court enough to achieve greatness. You put QE in the Shannahan offense, and he will kill it. You put him in the Jet's offense, and it will be a disaster................ all assuming he can stay out of the training room. (For what its worth: I think QW got too muscle bound in the core/lat area. He needs to back off.....think Lance McCullers.)

    Yes.........and my ticket draw was right behind the tuba section! Deaf for 3 days after that!

    I get why this is important. But being drafted is no different than an MBA getting a Wall Street Job. It's a running start at life. Personally, I am only concerned about lighting the Tower orange, I want to see the next NC before I die.

    Yes, but I think NIL will affect the signing curve. If the colleges would go back to wood bats, then I think kids would prefer college to A ball/rookie ball. The signing season will be interesting.

    That is a very good description. That said, most of the ball that I watched was more lack luster than titillating. Most of the games lacked big, exciting plays. They were just plain ugly. For us, it should have been a clear wakeup call without the slap in the face.

    Be careful what you wish for. You guy's assumption is that all the teams are equal. College athletics isn't the NFL where even the worst team has superior athletes, and every team (except the Giants) have a chance of winning. I am not sure that I want to play Ohio State and Oregon, while another team plays Northwestern and Minnesota, and they make the playoffs with 2 wins.

    I suspect that the truth is somewhere in the middle. Probably a little "mis-remembering" and "wishful thinking" on both sides. Marion's Offer: Having a former college coach in the family, I know that assistance coaches do NOT make offers----of anything -----without the head guys approval.

    I would expect that the "player's executive council" will deal with this Monday. It will be interesting. Maybe we can trade him to UTSA for a future portal pick. A season with Traylor would do him some good.

    I think that the perceived superior level of play that the SEC offers along with Texas' reputation will assist in keeping these prospects in the college mode. The SEC is really good solid AA ball. Playing in the SEC is better than A ball, bus rides, and cheap motels. Add is some UIL and the decision will not be an easy one for the high schoolers. I also think that our new staff has an MLB flavor which enhances our chances. That said a first rounder must sign. He can't turn down the big money.

    I listened to that broadcast. I don't know if that was a criticism or complement. I really think it was just an observation. But, as a UTSA season ticket holder, let me just say the Alamo Dome PA announcer and his piped in music are mind numbingly loud. Then, or course, there are his cheerleading antics. I seriously doubt that DKR noise will affect UTSA players.

    Very true. I didn't think the other incidents were particularly violent either. I really think it is more of a spinal issue than head issue.... of course I am no doctor. Regardless, he needs to find another career. I imagine that his "entourage" is telling him that this is nothin. But brains are not like arms and legs. They heal.......brains never fully recover. I truly hope that there is someone in his life that really cares about him that will deliver the unwanted message.

    Wow. Double A baseball is back! (For all of you non-baseball fans, AA baseball is where MLB dumps all their young high-end prospects to develop.....). Every team on that schedule will have legitimate MLB prospects. If you play 500 conference ball, you are probably a very good team.

    Why do we have a conference championship game (CG)? The winner will get a "first 4" pass. BUT the loser goes into the "eight team pool". The Loser of the CG must turn around and play the next week versus a team that has had at least one week off. The Loser is of the CG is coming off of an emotional investment and will be on the down slide emotionally. It seems to me that unless a team is damn sure of winning the CG, a better strategy would be to finish third. Yes, there will be seeding, but is there that much difference between 5 vs 12.

    That's a schedule for a coach trying to keep his job. Shame on CDC for allowing this charade.

    This appears to be a super group of coaches (staff). I would think that Tulo and Weiner would be easy sell to recruits. Comment: I was not anti-David. We were, however, kind of in a non-glamorous rut (Think K-Stateish) This move with Sloss makes it easy to get on the wagon. The one thing about CDC, is that he loves coaches with personality. If DULL is on your resume, then you need-not apply.

    Consistency. That's what I look for. Finishing first, second, third in various activities is stressful. Consistency is soothing.

    1. Memphis would take Cal back in a heartbeat. He is a very good coach. My question regarding the hire is whether his heart is really in coaching any longer. I think too many of these guys stick around for the paycheck. He may be one. 2. AS has been their M.O., Arkansas is looking for a quick fix. They have run through some really good football and basketball coaches over the years. Other than Broyles, no one could navigate the Ozark gods. 3. For the poster that continues to imply that great coaches don't need great players, Of the handful of truly great coaches that I have met, each has always maintained that great players make great coaches. They, of course, are being modest. But I can assure you that you can't take Bessie off the plow and win the Kentucky Derby............

    This team will drive you crazy. When they shoot well, they look like world beaters. When they don't, the feeding frenzy begins. My question for you basketball guys (which i am not) is this: Why can't we have 3-4 specific plays that are designed to get a layup or dunk........and maybe a foul. If you just slow the game down, create some hiccups for the opponent, then you can withstand the inevitable 'run'.
  25. Inspired73
    Guys, this one shocked this old man. When someone leaves the place where he made his mark.....created his identity............well. you gotta wonder about that place. It looks like Trev just threw in the towel at UN. Fortunately for him, he had some kind of connect with A/M. Must have a cousin with a Texas farm. I wish him well, but herding Aggies has typically proven to be a touch gig.
