all Americans would be safer if we banned guns.

Statistically speaking, if you group and account for whites, Hispanics and Asians together, the U.S. has one of the lowest gun crime rates in the world.

So banning guns would likely not make any of that group much safer.

Now, if our friends in the inner city had less access to firearms, it may help there. But let’s face it, they don’t care about laws now, won’t in the future and have a real penchant for shooting each other.

Kraft and Franklin did not get along at all.

---

They butted heads regularly once Kraft came on.

I truly think that Kraft thought that Matt Rhule would jump at the opportunity. Rhule played at PSU and he and Kraft are tight and go all the way back to when they were at Temple together.

When Rhule said no, I think Kraft was stunned and didn't have another plan.

I had an ‘07 and an ‘18. Those were fun cars. Transmission was bulletproof, EJ series engine, not so much.

Subarus are easy targets for jokes because they were the first company to embrace ignored markets, like gays.

They make a great four wheel drive system. Their older EJ engines were okay for the time, they had headgasket issues on the non-turbo models. The turbo models used a multi-layer headgasket and didn’t have any issues. Headgaskets were a pain, becuase of the boxer engine orientation, the engine had to come out to do it. But they’d replaced the regular headgasket with one from a turbo and you’d be good to go. For the turbo models of the EJ, trying to keep up with regulations forced changes that ended up creating knock issues that would break ringlands and rods. LSPI was a big issue as the EJ platform aged in the performance models.

They are on a completely new engine architecture these days that doesn’t suffer from issues of the old ones. The CVT that they use in almost everything is okay. They aren’t like Toyota, even though there are parts and knowledge sharing with them, or Honda. You have to really keep up with maintenance on them. If you do you’ll have a vehicle that will go 200,000 miles pretty painlessly.

Good example - Ronnie Coleman (Mr. Olympia for a decade) lifted in a garage gym in Texas with no air conditioning. The weights and machines were old... the kinda old that everything feels ten pounds heavier than it is. He forged a beast in that hell hole. It was primal. It was tough.

---

And now Ronnie Coleman can barely walk and has had a long series of surgeries. Understand that mine is a hyperbolic comparison, but the new staff is trying to avoid injuries that come from training of that nature.

Now we can talk philosophically about the price of greatness vs. caring about long term health; but it would be great to somehow recapture that cold intensity while modernizing the training plan. Seems like the current S&C staff is great at their mission as defined, but maybe that mission is a little too clinical in nature right now.

Cochran is a unique personality, maybe it takes someone on staff outside of S&C to step into that role.

Well, Bama was either going 3 and out with the quickness or watching Georgia stomp them a new mud hole running down the field.

Not really sure where you’d work a penalty in there.

OL was supposed to be a strength.

? OL was always going to be an issue this year. We’ve known that all along. DL, as well. DL just surprised with how well they did against expectations.

Hilarious. Same folks that were screaming all game that they “weren’t trying to win the game” suddenly when they do something to try and win the game scream that it’s a fireable offense.

You need 3 or 4 possessions to win the game with 8 minutes, you’re out of options. You go for it.

Now the play call… yeah that sucked. Or at least in the way that Ty read it. 4 was wide open with nothing but green in front of him, but Ty makes the read to go to one of the hardest throws in the game.
