    We should be concerned with the depth/talent/experience at CB matching up against Burrow and Co in week 2.

    2019 Coaching Carousel

    I'm completely mystified by the Kingsbury hiring, but then again, there's no reason to expect much out of a franchise that's appeared in 14 playoff games since the 1940's. Kingsbury did an awful job at Tech, a place with zero expectations, and obviously thought he'd have to bide his time for at...

    2019 Coaching Carousel

    Davis Webb and Baker Mayfield. And you’re thinking of Johnny Manziel, not Tannehill.

    That’s a late hit on a sliding QB, but targeting? Come on.

    UFC/MMA in 2017

    Right, and the speculation was that he would immediately vacate if/when he beat Bisping, and drop back down to WW if he was going to continue fighting. Woodley aside, I think WW is a much better place for GSP's game and long term health compared to a division w/ Rockhold/Yoel/Jacare/Weidman/etc...

    Road to Omaha - 2017 College Baseball

    I gave up on Augie when I saw one of our guys, who was deep in a slump, toe tap with his back foot and and stride backwards towards the catcher on every pitch.

    Baylor fires Art Briles

    Negative, you moved the goal posts to academic violations – I'm glad I found a metaphor you can accept, though. When are we starting our Investigation?

    Baylor fires Art Briles

    Quote the posts of mine that mention academic violations. What I said, effectively, is that nobody is committed to academics. There's a long, long road between "rocks for jocks" courses and covering up rape. Oh for sure.

    Baylor fires Art Briles

    Ha, I'm curious what you think this actually proves. Okay, we disagree. I see easy academics as a means to an end for both parties (school and athlete), who are both stand to benefit from this arrangement. Ultimately I think a very high percentage of college football players participate in...

    Baylor fires Art Briles

    I don't think you want to go here. With the exception of Stanford (edit: and the service academies, obviously), I can demolish basically any big time program's supposed commitment to academics very easily. Everybody's pushing the majority of their athletes through useless sports management...

    Baylor fires Art Briles

    I think 30-40% is far too high a number because 30-40% of head coaches do not have a town/university pledge fealty to them in the way that Briles and Paterno have. If Briles had Kevin Steele's record, he wouldn't have had the power to effectively suppress all of this for such a longer period of...

    2017 Texas Longhorns Football: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You have to show some kind of improvement over the course of three seasons for that stuff to continue. This class is near the best that can reasonably be expected after 21 losses in three years. Would have been nice to get Little.

    Okay so maybe Art's lawsuit wasn't a great idea. http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Baylor-fights-back-against-libel-suit-10904598.php A few of excerpts of Briles' "gee I sure hope nobody finds out about this knudge knudge" texts:
