This is just a terrible story no matter what

I know in college they do a ton of physical tests before you start a season. I would think for bigtime football in high school they would do the same but i have no clue honestly

Before college seasons we'd do a full evaluation and blood test. Lake Travis is a premier HS program so wonder what goes into their pre-season assessments if any.

Both 2011 LSU and Alabama have almost always been underrated in these discussions. Either team could hang with or beat just about any team on that list. Suffocating defenses that could single-handedly take over games.



I think it has always been shown in the history of football that great offenses will find a way to move the ball against great defenses. And yes those teams had great defenses, but that was a year where offenses just seemed behind for the entire sport

LSU 2011 was not scaring any of these teams with their offense. Jefferson/Lee combined for 20 TDs and 5 INts in 14 games. Bama's QB was 16/5. The immediate counter, and a relatively good one, is that they didn't need to do much on offense because their defenses were so good. But I hope everyone can admit those offenses were mediocre as units.

Defenses were great but when you get to a top 20 teams of all time, you should have good units on both sides of the ball IMO

You’ve made yourself look more foolish than that comment by going “but da magic computa told me” instead of just like googling it, man



I mean AI is supposed to make life easier. If I type in "tell me the best TEs of all time and where does Olsen stack up" and it tells me hes a top 15 TE and then tells me stats that mark him as the best, I don't think it's unreasonable that on a message board that isn't really that important, that I can copy and paste

This isn't a work report where I need to verify the veracity of information. It's not that serious so I took the faster route.

You should do some reading on how this isn't very important
Normally what that means in bodybuilding is people didn’t show up or make weight etc

In most competitions they do 15 places if there are 15 eligible competitors so I assumed last.

But this was a small local show so i could absolutely be reading more into it than necessary

What are we doing here with this title? He finished 8th out of 8 and dead last. He didn't look terrible and you can tell steroids help a ton, but the guy next to him looked better in every way except hair amount on head

Certainly an interesting experiment

It's mind-boggling. Michigan didn't want him throwing much, but nfl people are always reaching when it comes to the QB position



Not to mention he was the QB for a team who was caught stealing signs and he was still generally ineffective somehow

Who cares if it’s 1 or 10,000 seats



Well 9999 people would care if it's 9999 seats

Anytime someone says something about the Bills you don't 100% agree with you rant and rave for 25 pages until everyone just gives up replying.

Giving a human being the option to buy it vs removing the option entirely because you are scared of social media



It hasn't always been social media, people have been complaining about obstructed views far before social media

quote:

We have gotten to the point we are saying bow to the irrational mob?



We have gotten to the point where 50 seats in a stadium isn't that big of a deal and you could remove them an no one would ever have known they were an issue.

Again, I'm indifferent but the way you argue makes it fun to imagine you jumping up and down throwing a fit every time
quote:

You are literally someone that shouldn’t be allowed to vote if you say option B is better for the fans. It isn’t in anyway



But if there are 69,950 unobstructed seats and no stories like this, or 70,000 seats with 50, maybe the answer is leave those seats out. No one would notice 50 total less seats in the stadium as it's constructed.

Your option B is making it seem like a big difference in # of seats and it isn't.
quote:

A. You have have 66,000 tickets for sale, where 1,000 have views that have something in front of them. The 1,000 fans have the option and are cheaper

B. You can sell 65,000 seats where there are zero obstructions


Is it 50 seats that are obstructed or 1000? You said 50 in this thread. One of those is 20X larger than the other.

If it's 50 seats then you can still have 65,950 seats non obstructed.

People are saying that if the negative press from this is enough, may as well not have any obstructed seats and just have a few fewer seats in the stadium.

I'm indifferent but you are acting like 50 and 1,000 are the same here
quote:

Yeah which makes this a non-story



Sale may have done this to get out of the clubhouse early on an off day :bow:
I mean they scheduled ND in one of the 3 non conference games. Teams cannot control their in conference games so I don’t mind it
quote:

There’s a lesson here to learn



That the guy who said Olson was an average tight end made a moronic comment?
AI has failed me terribly then. I even asked that a second time cause it seems wrong haha

Edit: we will say first then

AI said:

quote:

Historical Milestone: Only tight end in NFL history to post three straight 1,000-yard receiving campaigns (2014–2016).


quote:

Historical Peak: He remains the only tight end in NFL history to record three consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons (2014–2016).
quote:

I think the only knock against him is he was just kind of an average player


What?

Top 10 in yards and receptions all time as a TE
FIRST TE in NFL history with back to back to back 1000 yard seasons

He is not a HOFer but he's certainly not an average player :lol:

Edit: First TE to have 3 in a row of 1000 yards
quote:

I still really like him in the booth.



I am certainly in the minority that I don't really care who is the color guy. It could be Kirk or Gruden or Romo or Brady or Olsen. Doesn't really matter that much to me when I'm watching a game honestly.

Although the Brady one bothers me because he isn't allowed to do his job to the full extent because he is partial owner of a team. The insanity that he legit can't do his job in full but they still pay him boggles my mind. But he is brought in for his knowledge of the game overall I guess and not the teams playing specifically
quote:

Its hilarious how badly Brian Hartline as OC underperformed with that offense and he still got a HC gig.



Pretty true but he didn't get the HC job that people thought he would. Had interviewed for some pretty good P4 jobs. I'm 99% sure he interviewed at PSU right before the B1GCG.

Some of the stuff last season and really in 2024 was Day wanted to slow tempo down to not get wear and tear when you have 16+ games to win a title. Kind of makes sense but if you get up 28 points in Q3 you can run the clock all the way down the rest of the game and not sweat out games against lower competition
quote:

Oklahoma and Texas have accomplished nothing since being in the SEC.



You have to count them. Should the title maybe be "Program rankings for all teams currently in the SEC?" It would be the same/similar rankings right?
quote:

It will prove that Ferentz had ultimate longevity with a 30 year run at 1 school.



And more games per year is important too. OSU only played 12 games in 5 of Woody's 28 years at OSU. They played in 9 games 16 years.

Iowa plays in 13 games a year usually with the bowl game. Even if Kirk goes 9-4 he is getting more wins per year than Woody in most seasons.

So when you combine both of those it makes a lot of sense. Kirk has also been pretty good for a long time with a couple of great years
quote:

I don’t know if I would say they missed it because of week 1 when there was a whole season afterwards (but it was a close game they could have won)



I more meant if they were 10-2 and played Ohio instead of OSU like someone above suggested, then they are in the playoff. They would have gotten more money to be in the playoff and gotten to play a top 10 level team likely. That's basically the same as getting to play a team the level of OSU but in the playoff instead of the non-conference.

I may have done a bad just making that clear but that was my reasoning
quote:

I would rather watch my team lose a close game on the road to a top 25 OOC opponent than watch my team blow out an FCS team by 50 at home. The FCS rent-a-win games are almost unwatchably boring.



Everyone says this until they are Texas in 2025 and miss out in the playoff because they lost to OSU week 1, who was a top 5 team all season of course.

It's stupid and everyone agrees, but as said if the committee is going to count that against you, then don't play the game, make the 12 team playoff, then you get to play in a game like a pre conference top level game just in the playoffs making more money
I have knocked olympic medalists out of competitions before
