206BULL

You are missing my point. Yes all teams had a long layoff; no all teams aren’t going to be scrambling to learn a new playbook in less than a month if the season is played. You’ve seen how long learning a new playbook takes first hand through our coaching changes. Now subtract 2-3 months of hands on learning. Our lack of a spring practice is different than Cincy, UCiF, Houston, etc. Edit: For context I was out on Skip after year one(that includes the Clemson Win) and Strong 3 games into his second year(and we still won a few That season after I bailed on him) and road Willies bus into being labeled as a Blind Eternal Taggart Optimist(BTW did that one guy ever walk from Lithia to the stadium like he said he would?). I’m not sure how Jeff Scott is going to play out but he’s going to need a couple years to implement his system and get his guys in and losing that much hands on coaching where you can correct technique, see the guys live and tweak your system is going to put us in a huge hole this season.

Let’s just say I grew up on the Kemp , GP, Detlef, Hersey Hawkins, Big Smooth Sonics in the 90’s (206 being Seattle’s area code and all). Shawn Kemp’s beer gut was building before the lockout and He was notorious for dropping hundreds a night on food and drinks at the Keg down the street from my elementary school. Not an apples to apples comparison. Our kids are going to be out there thinking about what to do vs reacting to what is happening in front of them for at least the first few games. Playbooks take a long time to learn, when there is face to face instruction and implementation. Coach Scott can be a whiz at teaching online, but without repetition our players it won’t translate. Not sure how much Competitive football you played growing up but muscle memory and beating players to their spot are pretty important; and losing a split second to think about what you are doing vs reacting can be the difference between a TD and a 5 Yard loss.

How many other teams have new coaches? Of those teams, how many in conference have as depleted a roster as ours? Spring was more important to us than most due to thecoaching change.

Considering we lost an entire spring in which a new offense was to be implemented, I’d say it sounds right.

Next weekend. Also didn’t he get drafted by the Mavs or did they trade for him on draft night? I honestly don’t remember much other than him being taken late 1st round.

Don't think I'll be heading to the book to place that bet any time soon.

Depending on how this all plays out Texas may only have 50% roster capacity at the beginning of the season too.

Lack of humidity of course...

Speaking of Skippy, my UNLV season tickets(honestly just bought them because they were a cheap way to see the new stadium) are row two behind the visitors bench and Skip’s in town the week before we play BCC. I may have to bring my first sign to a sporting event that day, if they’re letting fans in the stadium that is. At the very least I will probably heckle him a bit...

So we’re not talking about Fight Club?

I literally made the post when watching a Tampa channel news stream for the riots. What ever channel JB something(he kept talking about posting #heyJB on twitter..)or another is on... They were the ones that said someone was shot on campus so I posted it. But sure I spread fake news Saturday night as the news was being reported on the local news... Saw the next morning it was next to campus. Guess I should have waited until there was an actual news article before wishing people on and around campus were safe.

Those of y’all in Tampa, specificities Temple Terrace be safe.

And signed with Willie at UO in after he left us. Edit: sorry if your post was directed somewhere else but it seemed like a snide remark toward my mention of Tags. Kid had offers everywhere and was one of Tags first offers and commits at Oregon; as well as in his only signing class. I don’t have to run down Willie’s RB resume from Toby Gerhart through Cam Akers do I? If Willie knows one thing it’s RB’s and he brought Felix with him to the PNW from Ft. Myers.

Coach T always knew how to recruit RBs.

Edit: misread the question but still think you’re reading too much into this.

How is he not in the WWF?

For all the haters

I dunno, I’m mid thirties and he came out when I was in HS. Take that for what it’s worth Methuselah.

I wonder if his middle name is Mike beacause the only real question I have is, Who?

I believe our only tolerable, resident UCF fan lives in Naples if memory from a couple hurricane seasons ago serves me right.

Will there be lots of Sloots at said Goat House?

Just hear me out. That ******** flag altered the trajectory of the program more than slap gate.

Oh yes, a universe in which illegal forward propulsion doesn’t exist.

Yup. He’ll catch on as a FA somewhere, if the Colts don’t trade him this year. It sucks for Mack for sure but he still has some time left in the league as a productive RB and will catch on somewhere. Taylor is a beast so it’s hard to blame Indy for taking him where they did.
