Windy's football discussion thread.

Land Thieves vs Baptists final seconds are exciting. OK intercepts! Their comeback victory is a assured.

In Freak'n pick'ms, I have to be the most consistent 5-5 picker known. SMH!

In the NCAA pick'ms, I'm a consistent 10-5. SMH!

It's a rare occasion for me to get 5 picks wrong. Years ago, I was a member of a pick 'em organized by a coworker. I would be overseas during the first two weeks, and the organizer hadn't posted the slate for week 1. My recourse was to pick the entire FBS slate for the first two weeks. I missed five for that two week span. I returned to the US in the lead. My mojo didn't last long. By week 4, I was back in the peloton.

A Dish TV commercial features two guys watching CFB. One loses a bet and has to stand outside wearing a clown wig and placard stating, I know nothing about football. The brief glimpse of the game on TV? Tennessee making a big play against Kentucky (?).

For the Indwelling, Saban was promised the HC job at Bama, glory, fame, and fortune. Since the Indwelling, Lucifer likes to remind his vessel of the consequences of his unholy bargain and visits upon him misfortune and failure. Could this year be yet another reminder from Ol' Beelzebub?

That's because Charlie Ergen is one of the big names behind Dish TV. He's an alum of UT. We get shown in lots of their commercials when it involves sports.

So I’ve read that JG had some of his best practices last week. If that continues this week I think we see him start the game

He’s our best option I guess. He said he was the sixth man. BM and Shrout aren’t cutting it but they are young. JG just needs to use his legs and we should beat Missouri and Vandy

Need to recruit a qb this summer

 

[TopsideVol]

Put weinke and T Martin on the road

 

[Orangeslice13]

Even if we do he won’t be ready to start the first game. I’m still hopeful someone we already have gets it figured out.

 

[vol445]

Bm will be fine next year. Another year in sc will do him good. But I still think jg will be needed next year

 

[Behr]

Never know, after spending time with Wienke and Chaney, Hill may turn out to be just what we need.

I think Pruitt and Chaney really like Tan-O. I think JG is the starter next year.

Yes. Hill is the wildcard. He will be healthy after the long time off.

t would be great to see him have a top 10 kinda year

Mizzou. WTFA.

Better off the bench.

 

[joevol33]

Better off the bench.

I agree. Let one of the others play a series, then bring him in.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Better off the bench.

I agree but I think that’s just a transition plan. Building confidence and transition back to him being the starter.

 

[Weezer]

Don't fix what ain't broke. Start Maurer, or Shrout, or JJ, let them play a few snaps or a series, then bring in JG. It's been working so why change it?

 

[Weezer]

I agree but I think that’s just a transition plan. Building confidence and transition back to him being the starter.

We can try that again next year. This year, we need the wins. Keep doing what's working.

I’m not advocating it. it’s what I think is happening. If it was my call I’d have no idea what to do.
