That's the air raid and not the veer and shoot. The air raid use to receive the same complaints though.

Houston Cougars under Jack Pardee ran the run &Shoot offense and got 2 QB's drafted in top 5 two different years and in NFL they both stunk up the joint.

I think a good portion of the "Heupel's system doesn't prepare players" talk is a negative recruiting spiel from (especially) a couple of big SEC coaches who had the ears of all the scouts because they were and one still is loaded with blue-chip round-one talent.

It's not entirely honest, either. These coaches have long sold the lie that it is their tutelage that primes those players for the NFL, wholly omitting that as 5-star recruits those guys are already predicted to the league. They want to make it all about themselves. And point away from the blue chip ratios they have. Jimmys and Joes.

I think Nico was envisioned as the guy with the arm talent to break through that story about Heup's offense and put a QB at the top of the draft from this system. It sucks that it didn't work out. I hope DSamp does well. Keep plugging.

Yeah I remember the Sports Illustrated with Houston on the cover. Everyone was wondering why they had so many wrs on the field. I knew the Houston qbs were going to be awful but I was hoping that they would be good.

I say again (but not a third time 😂) that I think Nico was envisioned as the guy with the arm talent to break through that story and put a QB in the first round. It sucks that it didn't work out. I hope LahSamp does well.

Winning matters the most and sending guys to the league. Luckily, that is what Heupel has been doing. The behind the scenes chatter doesn’t matter much at all unless you start losing.

Great Pyrenees are amazing dogs. I’ll put that breed up against any other dog breed 1 on 1 in a fight.

Loyal and gentle giants but they can be mean and protective, if needed.

We have friends who own a ranch with a small herd of cattle in Hico, Texas. Their GP dog, Bo, is let out at night to guard the herd, and he keeps all the coyotes away. Then he comes home in the morning and sleeps all day. Very friendly dog.
