jimbob: you know, I wasn’t sure who originally sang that song. Thanks for the correction. I have seen Carole King perform it in concert, but had this nagging thought it was a Carly Simon song.

Carly Simon sang “These Are the Good Old Days”, not Carole King. And I stared at enough Carly Simon album covers in my younger days to know the difference.

Or, a better title – why you should never invite a Bama fan to your house to watch the big game.

Sure, as an SEC fan, your whole life is based on the performance of your respective football team. God knows you have no personal achievements or successes of your own to revel in.

Pryor also avoids contact and doesn’t fight for extra yards, traits we never saw from VY in big games.

He ran the play exactly as its drawn up and practiced 100s of times by all of our receivers. You’re seeing some magnificent cat and mouse set up by Chiles, apparently. He made one easy cut that he’s practiced often and then ran unmolested in a straight line, getting up to his

I think you need another look at VY’s body language during the 2004 Tech and Missouri games.

I’m not saying Pryor is VY in terms of talent, leadership, or clutchitude, but his best attributes are not being featured in the offense.

Scip: Vince needed to be turned loose, but above all else, he loved playing the game. I didn’t see that in Pryor.

As I said in the first post, Tressell needs to adjust to Pryor’s talents, but I don’t see that happening, and I don’t see Pryor getting out of his funk against quality

Thanks, man. A couple of thoughts:

Jordan Hamilton was very impressive. Didn’t look as big as he’s listed and didn’t look as big as Damion James (get more reps with Todd Wright).

I’ve heard exactly opposite of this. That Jordan was a legit 6-7 230.
Not that I care as he’s playing SF.

One WR who seems to be an outstanding blocker is Malcolm (he is a warrior). I also noticed some half ass routes where the receivers did not even bother running the route. Embarrassing WR blocking is not that unusual in college football. The WR starters played a lot of minutes in that

Obviously ranking anyone with two weeks data is folly. We shouldn’t rank anyone until October. But it’s fun to discuss.

I appreciate the comment. I’m not ranking programs though. I’m ranking a single season football team with two weeks data. I think Alabama is a little more complete right

Last week we looked like this.

1. Texas (2-0): Won @ Wyoming 41-10. So they slept-walked through a half. They still went on the road and routed a semi-respectable opponent. Given what the rest of the league has done to this point, Texas’ biggest worry has to be their strength of

I think it is obvious that Tressell has Pryor thinking way too much. He is hesitant running the ball and hesitant in his decision making. You see flashes of his talent, but he just seems uncomfortable out there. Incorporate some simple zone read (ala Texas with VY) and turn the kid loose.

UTEP isn’t good, but what KU did was still very impressive. Game was never in doubt – on the road – complete domination – finding new ways to roll. As you said, we’ll know more September 26th, but they look every bit as good as suspected.

Super interesting, Ripley.

A lot of stuff has been said about Dex’s improved conditioning but a max of 25 min/game sounds like he still has a ways to go (is that the case?)..

Hamilton is plenty big enough to play small forward.

Great news that J’Covan will be the point guard. It would have been easy for

Much better performance by the offense. My biggest concern is the health of Detron Lewis as we won’t have a big-play

Focused on the WRs when I rewatched parts of the game, and I saw some tendencies that I thought had left town with Drake. Incomplete or routes not run at all on occasion, blocks not held or barely attempted – shitty or lazy habits that I lay on Kennedy. Nip that now.

“WR:A solid performance by this group overall. Chiles had the only egregious drop.”

I don’t know whether Chiles had the only egregious drop but (at least) Ship, Kirk, and Buckner all dropped passes in addition to Chiles’ drop. Both Mack and Colt made a point about dropped passes during/after the game.

Regardless of what Bob Stoops says, there are no positives to be taken from crushing a D1AA opponent that isn’t even good in D1AA. If you’re a legitimate top 25 team, 64-0 should be exactly what happens. Let’s look at the negatives, shall we?

1) We can’t score on 4 plays from the 2 yard line
