I probably would have if I hadn’t flown a private jet into all the usual mountain places and seen how performance limiting some of those places are even for a Lear.
They extended the runways in ASE and TEX so they’re not as challenging as they once were. But damn.
The US Navy has been patenting some pretty eye opening stuff of late. They’ll see your Terminator 2 tech and raise you Star Wars level stuff in reply if any of the patents have an actual basis in reality.
Saban went the other route and won a bunch of MNC’s at Bama. No need for the third stop. He’s solidified as the GOAT.
Urbs’ rep is a bit tarnished. He can’t catch Saban’s number, but he can do something no one else has done.
Guys with the kind of competitive drive and desire to win two separate MNC’s don’t have an off switch, and Texas presents the ideal situation that Meyer likes to step into. A largely rebuilt blueblood in need of elite leadership to take the final step.
Will his family and health allow it? Idk. I guarantee you it’s killing him to sit and watch Saban and Dabo make him look like an interesting footnote when opportunities abound for one last hurrah.
We still use steamers today. Not even talking about the nukes who are going electric btw. Those Marine amphibious assault ships run on steam. About 1200 psi stuff vs the 600 psi power plants used by in WWII.
Ketch assumes complete staff turnover. I’m assuming just Herman and a few of his less impressive staff members. Urban has already hired both of our coordinators at OSU, and would conceivably keep a few others.
Either way it’s a shit ton of money that likely isn’t getting donated by anyone anytime soon short of Urban announcing on tv that he wants and will take the job, and CDC donning some deal with it sunglasses for the high and mighty portion of the school that thinks Texas is above all of Urb’s baggage.
The cheapest option would be Hiring Urban so long as he retained much of this staff which is much of his former staff. But even then with Herm’s buyout, Urb’s new contract and some staff turnover you’re talking probably $30M+. So it’s a BMD led buyout or nothing, because the AD is likely tapped out.
TCU gave up 7 sacks to ISU with their drop 8 defense. We managed a few pressures and a sack. Probably largely because Ass’ best answer to Big XII offenses is to hope our DL dominates while giving them precious few opportunities to do anything other than run straight ahead, and occasionally bring a 5th man with the MLB or a corner.
Snowman football where QB’s don’t scramble for 40 yard TD’s as opposed to the track meets we run in this conference.
The infuriating thing is that Ass had all offseason to watch film and realize that OC’s in this league will happily abuse the middle if you continue to line up unsound or have glacial LB’s. There’s no gentlemen’s agreement that between the hashes is a place where QB’s fear to tread or throw here.
I was, uh, under the impression that Tom would be free to concentrate on game and clock management while making his head coachiness better if he were free from the rigors or offensive playcalling.
Turns out he’s just shitty at everything flag me day related other than sole playcalling duties.
The sickening part was the third operable Hind that was destroyed by the truck driver more interested in hitting the porn store than observing overpass heights.
Our plane had a mx issue that day and it was a cool way to kill of couple of hours.
Visited with one of the proprietors once. They have two operable Hinds, a Cobra, a Huey, a MiG 21, some Hips and various other Russian trainers. It was very cool.

F-35B and a C-130J bumped uglies while refueling. F-35 pilot ejected and his plane crashed next to the Salton Sea. Someone captured a video of that if anyone cares to look. The Herc shed props on 3 engines and made a successful belly landing in a field.
It is still legal to play the occasional game with the DL isn’t it. Like an occasional stunt or twist? Or is rush straight ahead only some kind of new rule?
It’s Yurcich’s offense using Herman’s verbiage for continuity (which probably wasn’t much of a stretch since Yurcich likely had the same issue at Ohio St as they transitioned from the Herman/Meyer offense to the Ryan Day attack).
If the Okie St. offense is any sort of harbinger of what is in store then I’m not overly concerned with hot reads and route adjustments when defenses finally manage to bring some heat. The low number concept number approach paired with numerous formations looks complex to defenses, but results in the same reads being made time and again. And things like that Mesh/wheel play we ran has a lot of quick and dangerous answers available if the defense asks the wrong pressure question at the wrong time. Especially as our WR core returns to full health.
My two cents anyway.
Not that unusual. Most prototypes cannibalize parts from existing planes for the stuff under the fuselage skin, and start using more personalized tech once the proof of concept and selection period is done.
It also helps that the Air Force isn’t trying to work within the constraints of a plane that’s built with VTOL and carrier ops in mind.
Yes. If anything a normal runaway trim situation is worse as the trim moves much faster than MCAS activations.
In that respect MCAS trim activation is more insidious, because it’s much slower and possibly less noticeable.
I fly the Airbus so it’s not something we specifically trained for.
The unreliable airspeed scenario (what primarily led to the Ethiopian crash) is a memory item for us, and we don’t have pitch trim cut outs. We can get the plane into alternate flight law whereby any uncommanded pitch can be overridden by the pilot.
