I was trying to be a smart-ass. I must be off my game. I wasn't going to have another glass of wine but now I am ?


Is it really asking too much for you to post without being condescending?
Well, I think you're both really smart, it's just the last half of "smart ass" that you need to refine (you're not an ass)...regardless of what your wife says. ?  D Feck is showing you how it's done.

lllOn the numbers Sark can dismiss the offense starters if he wants to that is 11 gone 

Point for most of us is with a big turn over each year team will never be stable. Low amount of Seniors. Two OL gonealready never will get depth this way. Every coach wants his players promblem ( except Sark) they havent done much withthemwhen they getthe players.

Really need a game the natives are getting resless!

The only thing I'm restless about is figuring out a way to watch the 2 games that are on the LHN. We just cut the cord with Directv and went to Youtubetv.

Sorry for the confusion NTG. Was intended as a compliment. Should have edited it sooner. 

 
I have only seen on game on LHN ( friends house) Misses more games due to its existance except time in Germany.

Never had a small dish nly 10 footer.No internetbut would not change county living for all internet. Fiber optics is a mile away so there is hope.

My wish is streaming puts little dish companies out of business.

In some ways that sounds like a really good idea.

Why stop at graduation,  clearly lots of players that enter the NFL blow through all of their money.  Why not tell them how much of THEIR money they can spend.

For better or worse we consider an 18 year old an adult and capable/responsible for handling their own matters.

The schools and the NCAA could/should mandate some ongoing financial education for the student athletes , but I think the athletes should be able to make their own financial decisions just like other adults.

You really shouldn't beat yourself up about low senior numbers. When what you're bringing in is better than what you already had, this is a natural process.

In other words, your average talent per player is increasing.

A friend of mine told me that they should put the money in a bank account until they graduate. If you're going to have financial incentive, why not have an academic incentive as well?

Frankly I am at the point I could care less if no seniors. For last ten years or so there has been low senior classes due to turn over in coaches. This led to high turn over in players. One reason for not winning IMO.

Better talenr yes but get back to me when they win ten games.

I agree on turnover have a trickle down effect. Painful on the fans, too.

As for your last sentence:

Lets examine what we know, shall we?

1. We know the low number seniors haven't gotten it done. 

2. The takeover of the OL, for instance, by the frosh, has accelerated faster than we thought it would. We have two starting frosh (Banks, Hutson) with another (Campbell) possibly being a third. Thats three of the five already with Cam Williams punching his way up.

And thats before we talk about Hayden Connor (soph). 

Most were surprised to learn Hutson had unseated Angilau at guard. In wanting to get Angilau into the starting five (as our OL coach said he would start the best five), he was tried at Center because the belief was he was better there than Majors. With Angilau's injury, the position defers back to Majors.

Lets see what happens.

Best part is, where is this 150k figure coming from anyways?

Garth very well may get the entire 50k via the pancake factory but we also don't know how this particular deal is structured. It could go into effect at different time points and the Pancake factory may not offer the deal to a player who has transferred, easy as that to avoid paying a player who has left the program. De facto linked to him being at Texas but not necessarily in writing as such.
