Tell Me About Baylor
Note to @Codaxx On Aranda and the 1st to 2nd year turnaround. In 2019, Baylor had a good year, going 11-2 and to the Sugar Bowl, but they had seven one score games, and did not beat a ranked team. Rhule was a good coach, who won the games he should have won, but he never beat a ranked team while he was at Baylor. In 2020, Aranda was taking his first coaching gig at any level, and lost the entire spring camp due to Covid. He made the mistake of hiring Larry Fedora as the offensive coordinator. Fedora's offenses are soft as fuck. He plays like it's seven on seven. Also, Aranda is an extreme introvert, and Fedora had been a head coach for eleven years. Fedora tried to "help Aranda get his feet on the ground." My read was he was trying to be the head coach and shove Aranda into the background. Everything came to a head after the Texas game, when Charlie Brewer, the Baylor QB had more carries than all the running backs combined. Two of the backs, Ebner and Lovett quit the team after that game. They talked Ebner back, and he's playing in the NFL now. They also didn't get to play three soft non-conference games and ended up 2-7. That's why Aranda's first year looked bad after the Sugar Bowl season. BTW, I've only interviewed Fedora once, but if he'd been any bigger a prick Bob Stoops would have sucked him. Aranda is a quick learner and fired Fedora after the season, along with most of the offensive staff. He hired Jeff Grimes and Eric Mateos from BYU to run the offense, and they went smash mouth. In the portal, they picked up two new offensive linemen from the portal and got serious into increasing strength training. The O-line went from being a weak link to being the best unit on the team. He installed a new defense, and had a total of five new starters from the portal. Every transfer ended up starting. In 2021, they beat five ranked teams, #4 Oklahoma, #5 Oklahoma State, #8 Ole Miss, #14 Iowa State, and #19 BYU. It was significantly better than 2019 in terms of actual performance. FWIW, Aranda is scary smart, but an odd guy. He wouldn't fit on a lot of campuses. One other note: Mack Rhoades, the Baylor Athletic Director, gave Rhule a new contract in October, 2019. It was a great contract with an exorbitant buy out clause. The Carolina Panthers ended up paying for Aranda's contract when Rhule left.

I'll have some time this evening, and will post something in the Baylor thread on how that happened. Not gonna post it on this thread cause it's a fall camp thread, not a Baylor thread, but Aranda's done some good things.

True, but that's a floor for a program, now. I'm thinking of something more, where they make the money too good for that position to consider transferring.- 2022 Fall Camp: Drippin'
Mandel is right, but he's not right. #1s don't sit on the bench. EXCEPT for their freshman season. Could this scenario come up in '24? Yes. But it would take some blow up with a coach for a guy to walk off before being on a team for one year. It is, though, with NIL and the portal, becoming common for QBs to walk after a battle. I believe at some point, there's going to be an NIL for "backup QBs." "Hey, we don't think you're good enough to start for us, but would a $75,000 a year contract to be a backup keep you around?" Cause a lot of teams are going to find themselves without a credible backup when the loser of the competition walks.- 2022 Fall Camp: Drippin'

Fat legs and bunions, I'd just take the cat and leave. And look at those toenails. She probably sounds like a dog when she walks on a linoleum floor.- How many wins will Texas have this season?
Yeah, you know how Einstein flunked math, once? Well, my grades were even worse. Guaranteed victory. A lot of what happens this season depends on the Patterson effect. Will Patterson be a good soldier or an underminer? Did Del Conte bring him in as a back up plan, considering the years they worked together at TCU? Sark already seems fragile, and knowing your possible replacement is already on staff could boost that, particularly since Patterson has a better resume. Can Patterson bring back the old magic, or have things changed too much? The old "my way or the highway" doesn't work nearly as well in the era of the portal. Texas hits nine wins IF: The QB situation works out Patterson plays the good soldier They quit shooting themselves in the dick (fake punt, 4th & 11, down by 3 with 9:43 left in the game) They keep playing until the end of the game. The number of blown leads is ridiculous.- Warner Bros thinks Batgirl is such a steaming pile of crap, they literally shelved it
It's not about the money. It's about sending a message. If it was about money, they would have dumped it on HBO or sold it to Amazon Prime, even at a loss. This is about sending a message to the directors, writers and actors that they're not putting up with crap movies anymore.- Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
I do it off and on. My thoughts: When I read back through my writings, I realize I'm retarded. One day I'm writing about goals, one day I'm writing about Harry Potter theories, or whether some band is overrated, or was Don Meredith really that good of a quarterback. It works better for me with an actual written journal, rather than something electronic. Actual writing changes your thought process. I keep my journal in a place where other people won't notice it, and never share it. It's more for organizing my brain than for performance art. I write stuff for other people to read, but that's a whole different game. For journaling, the difficult part is writing for yourself, rather than writing for an audience. It's easy to get too serious or pompous. One thing that I read (haven't done it) was from a guy who journals, and he creates a new journal every year on New Year's Day. In the front cover, he writes a number. He calculates the number by taking 29,200 (the number of days in eighty years) and subtracting his age X 365. It gives him the number of days he has left until he's eighty, so a guesstimate of his time left if he has a reasonable, slightly above average life span. He says it reminds him that time is ALWAYS passing, and keeps him from wasting it. Set a time to journal, if you want to do it. I keep a single journal at a time, and write the date and time in the upper right hand corner before each entry. Each entry starts on a new page. Get a good pen for journaling, one that's comfortable to hold, and doesn't skip or blot. A good pen makes the process of writing pleasant. A crappy one makes it annoying, and will ruin your vibe while you're trying to write.- Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook

This thread reminded me of James Hampton, who passed away last year. Here he is as caretaker in the original The Longest Yard, with Burt Reynolds. He always played the same kind of generally nice guy next door type, but the guy had a FIFTY-FIVE year career, and he was in everything: Gunsmoke, Hannibal Dobbs(Bugler) in F Troop, caretaker in The Longest Yard, the dad in Teen Wolf, Sling Blade, Punky Brewster, Newhart, Dukes of Hazzard, Murder She Wrote, The Greatest American Hero, Rockford Files, Rawhide, Dr. Kildare, the Doris Day Show, Gomer Pyle, Death Valley Days, Days of Our Lives, Who's the Boss, Full House, Melrose Place, and a couple of Lady Gaga music videos + a whole lot more.- Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
