"Zero sense" is taking a four-loss team whose fans won't be staying in hotels and patronizing local venues.

Williams completed 64.5% of his passes for 1,912 yds and 21 TDs against 4 INTs. Averaged 9.1 yds. per pass attempt with a QB rating of 169.6. On top of that, he rushed for 442 yds and 6 TDs, avg. 5.6 per carry.

Now reciprocate and post 20-times-better Nussmeier's numbers. And try to spell his name right.

Catchphrases, slogans, battle cries, clichés? Might depend on the example.

And I don't trust prayer as a recruiting tool.

There you go. Regardless of age, a full year of playing time equipped JB for the big leap.

Burrow hasn't been a teenager since Dec. 9, 2016.
The list of big schools that are interested doesn't include any from Texas. The in-state recruiters who have had a closer look for the last three years know that private-school competition for what it is. It's not like Louisiana, folks. Pursuing this RB instead of Citizen would be the height of foolishness.

15-0 reigning champ Baylor is 9th, six spots behind 15-4 Alabama. Top 3 spots are SEC, another oddity. Bama gets its fuel from beating Gonzaga, Houston, Kentucky and Tennessee. A computer adhering to the formula it's fed doesn't care how stupid it looks.

(Baylor now 15-1 after losing to TTech tonight. Smart-arse computer!)

OK, but those are not euphemisms.

Why indeed, when you could place your trust in a ranter poster?
Hate for anyone is stupid. If Woodward hires Fisher again it's because he's his pet. That hire would suggest the AD never opened his eyes to read the field.
Saturday night magic, it was. Long before cable TV or internet, that was the connection. There were no televised night games from Tiger Stadium in the 60s. First one of those I ever saw was the Notre Dame visit in '71. Anyway, those Ferguson-Hill calls sure beat the current version: "The Tigers have just entered the Capital One red zone." Sponsor promos in between plays and no sense of what's happening on the field while a play is unfolding.

8 of the top 11 are southerners
To my eyes, the current Tigers are among the best-coached teams around. Penalties and busted plays are down, kicking/special teams play has gone from poor to great, turnover margin may lead nation. Game and clock management angst has disappeared from discussion. Record has exceeded preseason forecast. Only a handful of teams doing better and they'll all be in the playoffs. What is lacking, hopefully to no one's surprise, is superior or Sunday-caliber talent on the offense. The line is mediocre and the skill guys are pedestrian. They're probably getting close to the most out of what they have and who they are. Miles' later teams had better physical material that suffered from poor grooming. These aren't things I know, just what I've seen.

What OC is going to block Alabama's front? Year after year after year, they don't get blocked. The OC can't do it.
Sorry, but spare me the thrill of watching the Bama rematch.

Great question. But is profundity even allowed on board?
