Women want him, men want to be like him. . .

I know I do.

Without knowing exact of Bru's dislocated/broken ankle, how long is recovery? Everything ive seen is 12 weeks, worst case. Is that assuming that there is no tendon or ligament detachment?

Btw I do not give one fark about him ever playing again for us. My prayers are for him to be healthy, and play in league. Its time for him to get paid.

With surgery almost always 12 weeks

You probably want to be like him too.

Nice reference!

In all seriousness...........Youngblood had a slight hair-line fracture. After 40 odd years of lore, he played with a multiple compound fracture of his femur.

You left out sticking through his leg.

QBR over 91 so far. . . 49ers QB hasn't thrown an incompletions yet

SF QB is Purdy good.

I'm more of a hopeful pessimist than you are..I can see there is a decent chance things could work out well, when you never do...lol.

Yeah that’s why I separated a realist like you from a general pessimist like me. I don’t think I’m incapable of seeing positives, I’m just very aware of counters to every positive. Almost like I over analyze everything. I think history courses kind of did that to me. I liked trying to see where things could go wrong in most major moments in history I’ve studied. What if that Soviet commander didn’t realize there was a system malfunction when it was telling him the US was nuking the USSR in 1983 kind of thing. (Yes that really happened, we all almost got wiped out that day.)

Louisville will beat Notre Dame...the other 2 I would take...Texas will win by 10 or more ..Bama drags Texas A&M ..

Selfishly, I hope it is a noon game, otherwise I won’t be able to watch it. Got unavoidable plans in the evening. So, keeping my fingers crossed for noon!

I hope you miss it. I'll be traveling from Florida for this game and a noon game would defeat me.

For those interested in my off topic rant there at the end.. Stanislav Petrov is a world hero and most don’t even know his name.

You are good at this.
You are very funny.

This particular effort was not worthy of the drvenner crest.

My guy got a little taste on a 21yd kick return last night.

Our RB room has a bright future, even if you only consider Seldon and Sampson as the backs next year. Can't wait til he gets some big-time reps in the backfield. I think he's gonna shock a lot of people. . . kinda like the impact Pearce is starting to show now.

 

[drvenner]

Always working, always lurking. I feel like @Neyland Rising might be coming around on CJH.

The problem with being realistic about things, or a general pessimist like me.. people will assume you are happy when you’re right, and miserable when you’re wrong. I get it, that’s generally how things work, but not in this context. I’m happy to be wrong when we beat a team I didn’t think we would, and equally upset when we lose a game that I thought we would lose.

Fandom, amirite

One of the problems I see among pessimists is that they tend to assume pessimism is realism (especially among fandoms).

As it turns out, predicting a loss to SC wasn’t realistic, at all. After seeing the game, Tennessee likely wins that game at home 8-9 times out of 10.

I agree. That ND pick is very iffy, IMO.

Louisville is a trap, I wouldn’t be surprised if they upset the Irish.

I agree. I just can't help myself sometimes.

I had a much better week looking forward to a win and why we should win than I would have if I were dreading a loss and thinking of reasons why we should lose.

Dolphins have a BIG 12 DEFENSE...

That’s what it looks like when you have 3 starters on that side of ball out hurt and you have a pro-bowl WR lined up on an undrafted DB. Almost all of, if not all of, Diggs catches came against him. The mistake was Fangio not letting Howard follow Diggs all game. We need Ramsey back asap but I don’t think he’s back until November at the earliest, most likely December.

Oh well, snap and clear. Only game #4. Need to get healthy and quick.

 

[knoxvol52]

Limped off before offense got the ball back.

Looks like DaRon Bland heard all the noise two picks today ..one for a pick 6..

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Louisville is a trap, I wouldn’t be surprised if they upset the Irish.

Notre Dame is 3-1 against the spread when favored by 6.5 or more, 4-1-1 ats overall so far. . . Louisville is 2-3 ATS so far. It could be a trap. I'm hoping these stats hold up.

Feel like alabama is the most likely to lose. A&Ms biggest weakness is the secondary and I don’t see Milroe being able to take advantage. Plus being on the road

DOBBS!

Josh Dobbs and Cardinals are back in it. Dobbs with 2 TD passes.
