You can throw this game in with most all of the other bowl games. Full suck. Georgia and Clemson would have been a better matchup.

I personally wish the strength of schedule mattered more in college football. It would force teams like UCF and ND to join better conferences and probably make for better competition on the field.

We had better bowl games when the bowls themselves had more say in the matchups. You might see more no. 2 vs no. 8 than no. 2 vs. 3 but often it was matchup based.

You are correct. Pruitt wants to just be able to control the defense. If Yurcich comes to UT he has control over the play calling etc. I think with us recruiting the style of WRs we are recruiting, it shows Pruitt is not against allowing the OC to run their style of offense as long as we also incorporate a run game into that. With Yurcich being a seasoned OC I think Pruitt has less to worry about then he did with Helton.

This is all baseless speculation, though. There’s really no evidence any rational person can point to and say “Pruitt wants an OC with full control of that side of the ball.” The very presence of Will Friend alone seems to be a good counterpoint to that.

Our WR recruiting is just about us trying to balance out the WR corps: we have a lot of big guys who can get jump balls but not a lot of quick guys who can take a slant to the house for 6.

Also you meant than, not then.

I think people believe Helton didn’t have full control and that might have been so, but I would error on the side that, that was because he was extremely inexperienced as an OC.

You don’t have to worry about that with Yurcich he is proven and you can kinda let the reigns go.

That could be, but there’s no evidence of it. No reason to really think that is the case yet.


Also, error is a noun, not a verb and that comma is unnecessary. You meant “err on the side that that was because...”

I have an electric smoker. For some reason I have a difficult time with a good bark. The bark comes out mushy if I'm not careful. If I foil it for 2 hours the bark will remain mushy and soggy, thus the 1 our foil and 2 hours afterwards.

Are you using the water pan? I dont put water in my pan. I wrap in tin foil and leave in place to deflect some of the heat. Without the water steaming I get really good bark.

Thanks English teacher. Also, half this board is speculation so thanks for that eye opening assessment.

I do put a liquid in there. Typically something other than water. I'll definitely try no liquid, makes a lot of sense. You wrap the pan in foil? I've started leaving my top vent wide open and that seems to help with the moisture.

Why are you teaching correct grammar on a message board? Your job would never end.

If you want a little more a bite try finishing on your grill. I sometimes do 3 hours smoke, 2 hours wrapped and then finish with the last 1/2 hour to hour on the grill to set the bark and firm it up a bit. Seems to keep the moisture in but retain some of the bark/pull in the bite.

Yes I wrap in foil just to help with clean up. I actually wrap the whole bottom in foil. Then just peel off when done. I've seen people add sand or a brick to the pan. It helps to absorb some of the direct heat. I also run my vent open all the way. I'm running an amazing smoker tray in mine so I need the air flow.

This is where I got confused. So he has been offered the job, but not a contract? And even if he did sign a LOI he can pull out of that if he would rather go to OSU? ....should have went on to law school.

He has definitely been offered the job a while ago. You don’t offer someone a contract unless they have accepted the job. I highly doubt anything has been signed. If that was the case a simple public information request can find that.
