Tamu is really good. don't see us winning. Shocking right?

They are really good? Hmm that's not what I've seen.

He's gone

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Darago is an insider?

Darago is an insider?

Lmao.

No.

He is, however, a massive douche.

That's about what I thought

They're killing us

 

[TriCitiesVol]

We're down by 5.... Oh but they're killing us

 

[RiseToTheTop]

They're killing us

Killing us? WTF?

It's a 4pt game and we have the ball. Talk about a negavol.

He's a TSR guy....

Lost my Ernie Banks autograph ball when I got out of the Navy. I'm certain my Cubs fan roommate took it. I still have his picture that he signed for me. I know it was my roommate because he left my Mantle ball.

any idea what that ball is worth? i've got a perfect condition "best wishes" inscribed mantle ball

 

[RiseToTheTop]

He's a TSR guy....

In other words he's not very much plugged in? Even swain and ainge aren't.

 

[mooreaj21]

Every pro QB I've seen interviewed has said they can tell when a ball is underinflated. I find it hard to believe Brady would be the only one who couldn't tell the difference.

I agree. But also, what about the officials during the game? As much as they are handling it how did they not tell there was a difference?

If we hire DeBord and lose Azzani, it's gonna be really hard for to get excited.

 

[UTProf]

Shouldn't the OL coach you already have be the key to getting Allen and Richmond?

Not necessarily. I can imagine it's appealing to have an OC or HC who knows the line. Fulmer used to bring in linemen like crazy and you have to imagine his experience as a lineman himself had something to do with it.

We would also lose some commitments. Butch really needs to find a way to keep Z on staff. Not sure naming him the sole OC is the way to go, though.

Hubbs hinted that he was gonna get a raise and promotion I thought.

Hmmm. Not sure on that.

Also, it seems like the years that our OL was a problem under Fulmer were the years that he decided he was going to get "more involved." Honestly, after Doug Marrone left, it seems we had a period of time where our OL was more ineffective than their talent level would suggest. Especially the Jimmy Ray Stephens years.

If Azzanni leaves say good bye to Williams and Taylor.

Guess he has to do what he feels is best for him. If he's not the best candidate for the job, he shouldn't be offered the OC position. I don't care how good a recruiter he is. We can find a replacement.

 

[McGeesPub]

Of course this would happen. Potentially losing Taylor mere days after cutting Ford lose.

It'll be what it'll be on that front. You don't promote a guy to coordinator just to keep recruits.

 

[Vols4us]

Hubbs hinted that he was gonna get a raise and promotion I thought.

This is what you do and give him a quick path to the OC job if you really want to keep him. Which is also why you hire DeBord to help him get the experience.

 

[TriCitiesVol]

Guys getting killed at the half... 25-23

 

[vosams]

Losing Williams will hurt more than Taylor.
