What scares me is Heupel's success is gonna have teams trying to poach him eventually. TAMU is one of those schools that has a deeper pocketbook than we do.

This is where having Danny White as AD pays big dividends.

What is the difference between our offense and the 90s Jim Kelly led Buffalo Bills?

Our offense is nothing at all similar to the K GUN although it was no huddle faster paced offense.

I lived in South Dakota, where he is from. I think the Knoxville, Tn culture fits him like a glove.

What part of SD? I wasn’t too far from there as a kid

It has since come out that the Dolphins staff "made some errors."

Having a complex concussion like the one that Tua had on Sunday makes you more succeptible for the rest of your playing career to having another complex concussion. And x amount of times more likely in the same 7-10 day period to have another similar/more severe concussion. Sometimes with less contact than the first concussion.

That first part is actually not true… yet at least. It wasn’t the dolphins, it was the independent doctor. Also, the report that came out was that “several mistakes were made by the independent doctor.. in the NFLPAs view.” That’s different than saying mistakes were made.

The result I think that is going to come out, which is just from listening to some people like Schefter and others talking about the view the NFLPA has, is that the concussion protocol was followed but the language of the policy is still too loose. Likely the “stumble/lose balance” part of the policy is why he was allowed to return because the independent doctor “determined” (and this is probably where the NFLPA said the mistake occurred and why they fired him) after the concussion test that he passed the test and that the stumble was likely from the back injury because he didn’t have a concussion in that doctors eyes.

The NFL and NFLPA are both now in discussions to change that language to basically say if there’s a “stumble/loose balance” it doesn’t matter what the hell it’s from, they will just use extra caution and say it’s from a head injury. So whenever this change goes into effect, you stumble/wobble/etc.. you’re out, period. This is a good start, but honestly I think everyone can agree that more protection for head injures are still needed.

Not worried about OU in the least.

I don’t know why we do this to ourselves. Begs for the coaching search threads.

Not scared of Kentucky. They seriously squeaked by a Northern Illinois team that just lost to a God awful Ball State. Thoughts.

As Will Levis thrives at Kentucky, ESPN asks why it didn’t happen at Penn State (yahoo.com)

Stories like this make me shake my head and laugh. Apparently Levis thinks pretty highly of himself. Not sure why.

This cat would drink his own urine and declare it was as fine as bourbon

I've got a bottle of regular Michters I've not opened. I've been on a 1792 kick but it's been hard to find. A friend of mine saw some and picked me up a bottle Friday. Should get it this week (he also got me a 1.75 bottle of Buffalo Trace). I'd like to find a bottle of 1792 full proof.

I like all the Old Forrester products but I've been keen on the 1920. I've got a few bottles I've not opened but are itching to try:

Col Taylor bottled in bond
Knob creek 15
Michters

You have trouble finding regular 1792?

ESPN FPI gives LSU nearly a 60% chance of winning. Think this one will be a dog fight after LSU looks shockingly good passing the football.

Their QB had 80 yds last night. But our D made AR look like an All American so our D could do the same with LSUs QB.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Heupel is the first one I've genuinely felt like may be desirable for other programs. Never worried about Dooley (LOL), Butch, or Pruitt in that regard, really.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Their QB had 80 yds last night. But our D made AR look like an All American so our D could do the same with LSUs QB.

That's my concern. Don't forget Slovis looked pretty good for Pitt too before looking like doody against a bad Georgia Tech last night.

 

[volKano]

What is the difference between our offense and the 90s Jim Kelly led Buffalo Bills?

Honestly, I can remember the team but couldn’t tell you much about their play. I remember Thurman Thomas and Jim Kelly. Other than that, I‘m not going to pretend I could compare it.

I’ll be interested to see if both Bama and Vols are undefeated what kind of tv numbers the game pulls. Ohio St-Mich was most watched cfb game last season. It even did better than SEC champ game.

Michigan-Iowa last year was 3rd most watched.

B10 has lots of eyeballs, esp Michigan last year. I’d be surprised if Gameday didn’t go there.

Yeah I get it, but PSU Mich don’t have a long-standing national history like the TSIO does. Just my homer opinion. Esp with us on the major come up

OK DOC and other medical people…..how long will a QB be out with a Sprained AC Joint ?

Google medical hospital say 4-6 weeks

Return to activity — Most people are able to return to full activities between three days and two weeks after a type I acromioclavicular joint injury. Athletes who use overhand motions (eg, those who play tennis and serve volleyball, baseball pitchers, American football quarterbacks) may require two to three weeks to return to full activity. Complete healing may take four to six weeks. Type I injuries generally heal well without an increased risk of reinjury.

I’ve been here since 2009, and I have a degree from UT that suggests I’m a fan…so…

Season ticket holder and donor for years What else you got ?

 

[engineerVOL]

That’s because our defense sorta sucks. Coming to grips with it. It’s holding us back.

 

[VolMack——————$]

Recent Join date, inverted post-to-like ratio, strange made up nicknames, and hyper angry responses.

Sounds like the hallmarks of FF land.

Been around since the beginning but didn’t join. Joined got off because of pricks like you guys. Ticket holder and donor for years what else you got !

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Yes, it does sorta suck. Though I think the DL is good enough to limit other teams’ running game so we are going to have chances in pretty much all of these games though it will be frustrating at times and is inevitably going to bite us.

the secondary sucks.


The front does not suck at all. In fact its probably one of the more underrated units out there bc it gets grouped in with that label.


But yeh the secondary is a massive issue but we knew that going in.
