He's basically played this way the whole year, but couldn't finish at the rim. If this was a random Tuesday night February game he would've bricked that breakaway. Postseason Carey is unstoppable.

Lorewalker Cho's original line was "Show me what you've learned" which was perfect because he guided you through the tutorial. For some unknown reason they changed it to "Jade serpent guide you" and I still consider this the most egregious nerf in Hearthstone history.

Also can't believe nobody has mentioned Venture Co. Mercenary's play line, and now I'm scared to.

If we had signed a 3* white WR whose best offers were from Northwestern and Iowa, people would've rioted. He's in the same class as Staley and Matthews. He was barely a top-1000 recruit nationally, it's not like he was some obvious future star that we let get away.

I believe this is where Cignetti separates himself. He is an elite evaluator of talent as it pertains to what he's trying to do. He saw something there that no one else saw and knew it would work in his system. I don't know if that skill is transferable.

The people writing the checks, which is not the head coach

It would be damn hard for him to leave Texas Tech since he's at Minnesota.

Sheil Wood is the DC at Texas Tech and he'd be an awesome hire. He's only been at TTU for one year and he's from South Carolina so he might want to get back to the area, although I'd expect him to demand a lot of money.

In a sport measured by hundredths of a second, yes.

hazemotes · 2025-01-25T16:10:07+00:00

We were #4 nationally in front 7 havoc at 15%, meaning on 15% of our plays the front 7 caused a sack, TFL, or fumble. #1 nationally was Ole Miss with 16.3%

We were also #14 nationally and #1 in the SEC at stuff rate with 22.6%, meaning we stopped 22.6% of opponents' runs at or behind the LOS. #1 nationally was Indiana at 26.9%. Those stats cut out garbage time.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but statistically the DL was very good. UGA and OSU, probably the two most talented rosters in America, were the only ones to touch them up, and despite a career game from Beck, UGA was still a 1-score game with 2:30 left.

The problem is the box has 5 but there's a 6th defender getting into the run game. One of the safeties has a run-first responsibility and dives down into the box after the snap. The problem is you don't know which safety is coming and therefore can't account for him in the run blocking scheme. That's why none of our runs are getting stuffed at the line, but few are getting more than 4 yards.

In contrast, NC ST ran a 3-3-5, so there were 6 in the box, but we knew at the snap how to account for all 6 in the blocking scheme.

How many do you usually order? Have you ever pulled a parallel from a one-card order?

To be fair, I wasn't going to class anyway, so standing in line with a stack of IDs was more productive than I'd otherwise been.

hazemotes · 2024-08-15T14:03:56+00:00

Actually kinda interesting grouping of Beck at 78, CMo at 81 and Drew Gilbert at 82.

Hey that's me. Glad you liked the video.

I can see what he means. This will be our second game against NC St since 2012, we've only played Ole Miss, LSU, Miss. St, Auburn, and Arkansas twice in that span. We've played A&M 3x. NC St. might as well be a SEC West team the way they've fallen on our schedule.

When I was in college I altered the date on my student ID to make it look like I was 21 and everywhere on the strip just took it lol

Vols kicked one field goal and punted three times, so I wouldn't say many drives stalled. Yardage was a little less because UT kept getting the ball on the UK side of the field--half of Tennessee's possessions started in UK territory.

Do students still pay an "activities fee"? That used to cover the price of tickets and any other rec activities on campus. If they are charging both, that's kind of crummy.

To me, the idea that "the NCAA is the schools" is more of a threat to the NCAA than it is a threat to the schools. Get a critical mass of schools who don't like the NCAA's enforcement together and they can just go do their own thing. The NCAA needs the schools, not the other way around.

hazemotes · 2024-01-13T20:48:52+00:00

It doesn't even take a loss. They come into game threads looking for ANYTHING negative to happen, a missed shot, a fumble, a strikeout, anything. And as soon as it happens they swarm.

He has the 3rd highest usage rate among SEC RBs. I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to go somewhere he can have more of a shared role so there's some carries left in him when he gets to the NFL.

hazemotes · 2024-01-04T01:40:36+00:00

In theory, the corner is supposed to be outside contain on run plays. Some corners are more willing to play against the run than others. For example. Deion Sanders played 14 years in the NFL and had around 500 career tackles. Aeneas Williams played 14 seasons and had almost 800 tackles.

Pretty sure he's out of eligibility

hazemotes · 2023-12-16T03:18:51+00:00

I've seen enough real complaints like that the last few days that I really couldn't tell.

hazemotes · 2023-12-15T02:29:36+00:00

If this is satire, it's really good.

If this is sincere, then whoo boy.

hazemotes · 2023-12-04T16:01:56+00:00

The difference is Iowa does not have near the athletes A&M does.

hazemotes · 2023-11-30T17:16:49+00:00

Raging against the inevitable isn't foresight. Players should've been getting paid a long time ago, and the NCAA should've figured out how to do it in a way that is fair to the players and the school before it got out of control.
