  1. They're not, in any remote way, similar types of running backs.
  2. Mostly the lack of speed, and lack of a fit in an zone run scheme.
  3. Place your bets: is Urban still coaching OSU on Sept. 1st?

      I want to say he's done, but this is tOSU and Urbs and they could find a way.  Then again, I would have said the same about Tressel...

       

      No. He's done.

      I don’t know. On one hand I hope he’s gone on the other because of who he is in the state of Ohio he may get to stay. 

        I’m curious about Shimano taking over though. Doesn’t he have a bunch of baggage too?  He was up for the Tennessee job then someone brought up something on him that happened years ago and he was exonerated for I think but folks at Tennessee got their knickers in a twist and said no. He stated at tOSU. 

      ??? (Sorry I just remember this all came up during the Scott Frost MegaThread. 

  4. Better slot Washington somewhere with Bell and Bryant now.
  5. Not a big loss, IMO. I followed Mean Streets for awhile, but their schtick got old quickly. It's handy to know about accidents, lane restrictions and other newsworthy items that might not get covered as quickly by traditional outlets, but it doesn't surprise me that whomever is the originator of the account has some problems, as you could tell (by the antagonistic tweets towards police, fire, rescue and even their own followers) when that individual had control of the account.
  6. Aside from the Nebraska comments, someone went in dry on Illinois.
  7. This doesn't surprise me; it looked like someone put an air hose in Wilbon and pumped him up a bit in Spring Roberts would be really disappointing, and probably on his way to not being on the roster.
  8. I've been here sporadically since '09, but do vaguely remember everything being tagged with Shawn Watson back in the day.
  9. Pretty cheap and transparent money grab by the local rag that will turn the negative press on at the drop of a hat.
  10. Probably adhering to the non-contact rules for coaches and players during the offseason?
  11. Frank didn't have the playcalling or coordinating chops required to successfully succeed TO, and 1999 was the year it started to show. For instance, look at the reliance Frank had on running from the QB position. If you look at Frank's 3 primary QBs (Newcombe, Crouch and Lord), in the 6 seasons they combined to start, the QB rushed the ball over 150 times a year every year, with Crouch and Lord running it over 200 times from 2001-2003. Compare that with 5 of TO's QBs (Frost, Frazier, Gdowski, Taylor and Gill) from 1981 to 1997, and the QB position carried the ball 150 times twice (Frost in '97, Taylor in '88). An argument could be made for a lack of recruiting quality during Frank's tenure, but the 1999 and 2000 teams consisted of a majority of TO's recruits. I think the real TL;DR argument is that Frank lacked the talent, imagination, and moxy as a playcaller than Tom possessed in spades.
  12. Over/under on how long it takes them to kill Lando: 39 minutes.
  13. Henrich is criminally underrated, specifically by Rivals.
  14. I guess I'll answer the questions now. I'll stick to games I've been at in person. Most fun: Probably 2003 Oklahoma State. My first game in person. Most satisfying: 2007 Kansas State. Putting the throttle to KSUcks and Josh Freeman, and knowing that it was Callahan's last game. Loudest: A tie between 2006 Texas and 2013 Northwestern. In particular, Nate Swift to Marlon Lucky and the Hail Mary. Most disappointing: 2009 Iowa State. Holy hell, that was awful. Best OT: I've only been to two, so we'll say 2005 Iowa State by default.
  15. My nephew was born in the Spring of '94; I was 10 years old at the time. My parents and I were at my sister's house for the '95 Orange Bowl, and I would run back and forth from the TV to his crib where he was (supposed to be) sleeping and would give him a little high five every time Nebraska had a good play. If Fitbit was a thing back then, I probably would have logged a couple miles in the 4th quarter alone.
  16. Yikes, Lavonte:

      @knapplc I don't disagree with that, I just wish Lavonte would have chosen his words a bit more carefully.

      I have zero doubt Jameis did 90% of the accusations. But like I said...

      It's a teammate using media speak, I'm not reading too much into it.

      @Redux yup. Given the history of JW, LD’s comments were pretty soft, but it’s not unexpected from a teammate or friend. I’d estimate 99% of people would use soft language to defend a friend or coworker who they personally know or like. The other 1% are lying that they wouldn’t hold back from lambasting a friend or teammate.
