  1. Good Article on JP Mason

    Yes, they did say that. We'll see if they were serious or not.
  2. Good Article on JP Mason

    It wasn't that we didn't have P5 OLs; it was that we couldn't keep them on the field as a unit for more then a game or two. The starting outfit was Quinney, Hansen, Cooper, DeFoor, and Southers; good enough to play and develop. And then people started to get hurt. Only Cooper missed the whole...
  3. Good Article on JP Mason

    Yes. His biggest problem last year = he didn't create holes. He could in high school because he was faster then most of the D players he was up against; just turn on the jets and that'll do it. No longer. But this is a skill and it can be learned. If Griffin got just a trifle bigger over the...
  4. Good Article on JP Mason

    DeFoor played in 4 games as a sophomore at Ole Miss, about par for the course for an OL. I'm not sure why he transferred, but I doubt it was for more playing time. Especially since he didn't get it until last year. Again, right on course for an OL. I do expect that Cochran or Stewart may...
  5. Good Article on JP Mason

    I think the one thing the article misses is that pro backs these days are rarely speed burners. I don't mean they are slow, but most of the really good ones are about as fast as Mason. The thing he has is what the good ones have: he's big, he runs through first hits, he knows how to create a...
  6. Coronavirus Thread

    I think most epidemiologists are using cases because the lag in reporting hospitalizations is substantial. With a disease this contagious, we need pretty much up to the minute data to see where outbreaks are developing. No doubt hospitalizations is a more valid indicator in the sense that it...
  7. Kicker Brent King Enters Transfer Portal

    TaQuon stats for UT: Rushing: 44 for 249 Passing: 5 for 9 for 120 Best game of his career and you were already worried? Btw: it's so great to get back to arguing about football!
  8. Kicker Brent King Enters Transfer Portal

    So did I. But … I had a sneaking suspicion that losing Mills would lead to us losing 4 - 5 games we should have won. And it did. I like Benson and think he was a good BB, but not having Mills meant losing at UVA and Miami due to playing in the slop. Mills was really good in the wet; I never saw...
  9. Coronavirus Thread

    Since a lot of the concerns in this essay have come up here, I thought I'd post it. See: https://www.niskanencenter.org/what-the-pandemic-revealed/ I think Lindsey is pretty much right here, though he tends to avoid foreign policy and its effects and way overestimates the "boom" of the 80s and...
  10. Coronavirus Thread

    You're right, but the "cross-family vacations" can be safe. The problem is that you have to get the others to sign in blood that they haven't been in close contact with anyone but your family. I've posted several COVID-19 vids by Aaron Carroll here. His family has friends - colleagues at IU Med...
  11. Kicker Brent King Enters Transfer Portal

    I think King's time at Tech points out something that we fans are often loath to admit: the role of injury in player's careers. If King hadn't suffered a severe hamstring injury that affected his performance for almost two season, he would, I think, have been anther Luke Manget. And it would...
  12. CPJ, former players and racism

    Yes. I never saw anything to show that Paul wasn't even handed. He found something to criticize in every player, regardless of race, color, creed, or national origin. I miss that. Auditing is the path to good performance.
  13. Five Ala players have tested positive

    My one-time secretary made the same choice: she quit drinking and kept smoking. I told her and I'm telling you: reverse the choice. Your chances of dying from smoking are much, much higher then dying from drinking. But I'm guessing you already know that. The rest of this post is based on a...
  14. Five Ala players have tested positive

    I think the recent news about 5 Bammer players testing positive for the virus may put a fork in the season. I expect similar results for the players who participated in off season workouts at many schools. We'll see, but, if I was a parent of a player at a major program and my child was...
  15. Coronavirus Thread

    Been wondering what the different COVID-19 model say about projected deaths? If so, see: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/covid-forecasts/?cid=rrpromo This has the waterfront covered. These predictions are not fun to read, but they could have been a lot worse.
  16. Ahmaud Arbery murder case

    Yes. And, btw, getting rid of the whole idea of citizen's arrest would be a real good idea. Now, as to the rest … It seems to me that the precondition for the use of force in the statute rises or falls on the "unlawfully and forcibly entered" part. But that wasn't in the original hypothetical...
  17. Ahmaud Arbery murder case

    That's a good question. I'll ask the son about it when he gets back. My guess is that he does. You had best be careful if you pull a gun on someone in your house. If you use it, you can be criminally liable. Just finding someone in your house doesn't constitute a sufficient threat to allow the...
  18. Kelton Dawson Enters Transfer Portal

    I wish this hadn't happened. He is a very talented young man and a lot of the expectations for his rivals are not based on too much of anything except wishful thinking. He, oth, had actually played and produced pretty well for a sophomore DL. Well, good luck, Kelton! I hope you have success...

    I bet most of us wouldn't balk at having you along.
  20. Ahmaud Arbery murder case

    Call the cops and tell whoever it was to get out and that they were coming. But, of course, that isn't what happened in this case, more's the pity.
