I was just watching Josh Pate's prediction...his reasons are exactly what those of us that think this will be a dogfight think will be the reasons why...Venables defense slowing the run and forcing a lot of 3rd and longs, and Venables defense then taking advantage of Nicos inexperience in a hostile environment

Also like us...he is saying that it is either a dogfight or a blowout.

Hate to say it, but if you run the simulations, which models are what Pate goes by, it is close.

Like I said just win.

My coworker got a GV80 and while super nice at that price point you can buy pretty much anything. He traded his after a couple months and got a tahoe. Passenger space was his reason.

tahoe's, or GMC variant are super super nice. One of THE nicest vehicles ive driven. Great Utilitarian vehicle, and 378 around-the-block, is reason why.

I read this post and think, isn't This the same Gruden this fan base was clamoring for during every coaching search. I really don't care where Gruden coaches but to say a Super Bowl winning head coach is a fraud is a little extreme. Still yet everyone has a right to an opinion.

I never wanted Gruden and I viewed him as another Kiffin (Lane), and to be honest Monte won him his ring. Now Monte Kiffin was a genius and it is funny he made the hay for both Lane and Gruden.

I mean off the field he showed a likeable image while being a closet bigot/racist/@hole.

On the field yeah he might have done some things. Glad we dodged him.

I was referring to Gruden's on field accomplishments, nothing else.

I'm an @$$ hole also so does that make me a fraud.😜

Id think the only way to get hit that hard would be to play football, have a skiing accident, or automobile accident.

I had and @hole try to pick me up by my legs at practice. He was not as atrong as he thought and i was heavier than he realized and i quickly fell forward and my face smashed another helmet (mine was off) as I fell. Two broken teeth and a jacked up face later I was ready to kill someone. I'd still rather have that than handle an SEC hit like an Al Wilson might give.

strong is strong.

That is a different level of strong.

Refs have been terrible for years, this year they’re on some next level stuff. It’ll never be “the only reason” a team loss, but at the same time refs can cost you a game. It’s happened before and it will continue to happen. You just have to make it way less common. There’s no excuses for the officiating to be as bad as it is in college football. Sport generates too much money, hire some people who’s full time job is this, and hold them accountable like any other profession in the world when they do their jobs poorly. It’s beyond time.

As a high school official I agree that it is time to make their game reports public. I love being graded. Of course there will still be some questionable calls because some aspects of the game will always be a judgement (just like balls/strikes). I can assure you 99% try to make the right call but there are some in positions because of who they know and not what they know.

I don’t know if making them “full- time”officials is necessary because most of them devote more than “full-time” hours during the fall. I do think there needs to be more transparency regarding who is calling which games.

Hypothetically speaking, if Heard is out Saturday do we start Dayne Davis at LT or move Campbell to LT and have Davis start at RT? Or would we start Larry Johnson
