Lincoln Riley to USC
I think it comes down to quality of assistants in most cases. His best recruiter by far was always Cale Gundy, and that gift predated him by two decades. Bedenbaugh is an excellent coach and evaluator, but is not a headhunter on the recruiting trail. I also wonder if Riley's skills as a coordinator make it hard for him to identify and teach those things to other coaches on staff. It goes back to why transcendent athletes are often poor coaches. It's impossible for a Wayne Gretzky to teach someone to play like he played, and he has no idea how to maximize the talent or adjust around the skills of those around him outside of being a player himself. Extend that one level higher to transcendent coaches. Imagine Lincoln giving advice to a young DBs coach or DC like "Just perfectly remember what worked best in this situation the last twenty plays and call a perfectly disguised coverage to bait the offense into going to your strength." Great, but what if that coach doesn't have the eidetic memory and intuition about tendencies that Riley has for the offense?? Now Riley's lost the teachers, the evaluators, the planners, and the trainers that all build upon each other's work to make a complete team. He's relying on himself and another generational talent to make up for it all, and if QB1 isn't absolutely note perfect every snap, then Saturday happens.

Story goes they put Everclear in the sangria part of the swirl, so a couple of those are a problem.

Iowa State @ Oklahoma 6PM FS1
This is 100% true. How often does a team score forty in the first half, doubling up the other team, and it feels like a close game?

Tell me about ou
If my kid were coughing up blood because of a football-related injury, I'd have a hard time wanting to see them out there getting hit again the same way a week later. It wasn't even a weird, non-contact or odd circumstance, just getting drilled in the chest on a tackle.

Tell me about ou
I'm here because the majority of OU fans online are painfully unfunny and have no sense of self-deprecation about how ridiculous college football is, whether it's going well or poorly. Plus, getting someone else's point of view of what's happening in the program is always entertaining, and sometimes enlightening.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
Drumm and Thune have pretty much signed this one over to ATM. Drumm said he got some info from someone at ATM indicating they internally felt like they were catching up to OU, but stopped juuuuust short of saying it's all Aggy at this point.

More on Kanak... Apparently it was a pulmonary contusion, lung bleed that he tried to play through until he was coughing up blood and unable to catch his breath. Talks about it on his podcast:

Any OU fans on here going to this one? I've never made it out to Utah, so I got tickets as soon as I could.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
There just aren't many programs that consistently land that level of talent in any reliable way. I saw a report that the only 5-star DL signed last cycle outside of the SEC were Woods at Clemson and Adebawore at OU. That's it for everyone not named Bama, Georgia, and LSU.

I think his quote has been getting bumped by as many schools as he can make work.

That's a really good idea. The time it takes to get the potatoes done can ruin other parts of a dish. I struggle with getting it all timed out correctly, and I'm absolutely trying this the next time I do a recipe like this.

I don't know if this guy delivers bags or is the team masseur, but he needs to have someone yank his leash when OU loses recruits.

Yeah, how dare Charlie Strong get fired. Proves Texas is a mercenary organization. Is nothing sacred anymore?

It was a strange situation, he was absolutely being groomed to take over, but never seemed to show the flashes of leadership or innovation you might expect out of someone who really wants to be a head coach. Once he was let go, it seemed to both light a fire under him and let Bob know he needed to find someone he could turn the reins over to entirely.

No. Not because there's no money, but because the amount it would take to get Heupel back on campus for any kind of role would be double what he would take anywhere else. He was rightfully pissed at being made the scapegoat for some of the decisions Bob made for the offense and the failures on the other side of the ball. As long as Bob is hovering anywhere around OU, Heupel will show up when Tennessee comes to play.

I worked in Nova Scotia for a week or so, and some of the other attendees had families of lobster fishers from the south side. One said her dad swore that the McDonald's lobster roll there was the best you could get on the whole peninsula. Never woulda guessed.

Sandwich hall of fame
There was a Taco Mayo in the bottom floor of one of the dorms at OU when I was there. Never an amazing idea for a whole meal, but you could get down to the pennies on your meal plan points with dollar menu items, including a tortilla chili pie.

I'd absolutely eat a sandwich on cornbread, but I'm also fine with a McGriddle on a pancake, so I'm pan-pain-ual, it seems.

Structurally, it's closer to cake than traditional bread, in my opinion.

discussion- can someone explain predetermined game scripts to me?
It's also helpful if you want to leave a fake version on the field for an opposing team to pick up.
