More on Simmons’ craziness. The point is to determine the chances the Pats can get 2 yards on 4th down. He uses hindsight to determine that the specific play called had a low chance of obtaining the 2 yards. This is tantamount to saying that someone is an idiot for going

Couldn’t agree more, Raydurz. Davis has some nice instincts and anticipation on defense, but he crosses midcourt with the dribble and looks desperate to get rid of it. We won’t know what we truly have with Darko until conference play. UW and Stanford won’t be enough to judge. My concern with

I honestly think Colt will win. This is the perfect career achievement year.

He will have more wins than any other QB (that’s enough for a lot of folks), add in the ridiculous completion percentage (another record), the respect of current and former players (including rivals), and some potential sub conscious sympathy votes

Oh yeah, Schaub makes at least ine crazy, fear-based throw per game. That — and this may be play-calling — but the Texans seem to run some Greg-Davisian slow developing out routes which require a 30 yard horizontal throw to gain 3 yards. Schaub makes that throw look like a pick-6 damn near

I agree with that. I understand going for it, even though I think the punt has a better chance of delaying the inevitable to the point that the game ends first.

“I’m forced to switch back and forth depending on who’s less annoying at the moment.”

You just described Houston sports radio in 15 words.

Isn’t that all sports radio? The older I get, the less patience I have….

Phenomenal: All of Mangino’s salary is privately funded and not paid for with tuition money or by the state. I’m guessing the same would apply to any buyouts. If not, yeah, it’d look very bad and it probably wouldn’t happen.

VY can do better than Nashville. An undercurrent to this year’s Titans, and one that shouldn’t be forgotten, is that VY is playing on Bud Adams’ direct order. VY success = Fisher credibility undermined. Based on the interviews I have read the entire Titans locker room — particulalry Chris Johnson — have

How strapped in Kansas for cash? Paying a lofty buyout won’t look good when the state is closing its judicial system one week a month to save money. I’m not saying that should stop the athletic department – Pinkel got his raise last year the same week the legislature announced a salary freeze

Among many, many strengths of Mack Brown, is the unconditional support he gives to players in their drive to turn pro. He even invited Romance to pro day. There are many coaches, like Mangino allegedly, who use their influence to scare players that they’ll provide negative feedback to scouts. Other tactics include hiding players from

Erik – That’s what I had thought too, but it’s unrelated. Having re-read the terms, the 300k is what he gets paid pursuant to section 3, which defines his base contract.

The additional money (roughly 1.7/yr) that we owe him come from section 8 and are defined as TV, radio, interent, endorsement, etc..

You won’t find a better pass protecting running back anywhere in the league. Shades of roll left.

I doubt he makes the HOF, but he is less than 1,000 yards from passing Earl Campbell on the career rushing list.

I didn’t realize Mangino’s attendance bonus was so high. He was due to get $125k if season tickets sold were over 40,000 by 9/1/09. As of 8/1/09 they were at 35,000. This is over 8 times more than his original contract ($15k for 40,000 tickets.) Even if he didn’t break 40k,

If he wanted to, Euclid could probably figure it out.

After my post about Gabbert not throwing interceptions, he threw a bunch against NU. After my post about lack of interceptions, Harrison got one against KSU. I’m hoping this post produces a missed field goal tomorrow.

Good luck.

I think you could jimmy the numbers sufficiently based on game situation to make the punt slightly preferable. What you can’t do is jimmy them enough to make going for it an awful call, unless you resort to numerous logical erros, a’la Simmons.

In recent weeks I’ve made several cracks about how great teams are at kicking field goals against the Tigers. It seems like they never miss. Thing is, I assumed I was wrong.

But if that’s the case, then when does this come in (section 3)? Never is his full salary mentioned, but rather, that he’s due 300k per year for every year he coaches after January 1, 2008… meaning 300k for last year and a pro-rated figure for this year.

Trust me, I won’t claim to have any
