I'm not sure how good our "turnover forcing" can be, but it will likely get "better" just because turnovers are a product of luck as much as they are of skill. I would guess the rest of the season that turnover margin will be even or slightly in our favor and at some point we will have a +2/3 (or better) game in turnovers.
I am now convinced that this guy is a sock. There's just no way he is real. I think he's Rick Daris.QuoteBut I also saw the other side ... the bad things he did using the same brain that makes him a running savant. The two don't quite work together.
I eavesdropped once on a conversation between George Brett and Joe Torre behind the batting cage at Royals stadium. This was the season after Brett hit .390, and chased the magical .400 barrier late into the year. Torre, once himself a league batting champion was picking Brett's brain. "What do you think about when you're up there George?" Brett's replay, "nothing, I'm just trying to see the ball." Sometimes it's just that simple.
When Daniel Sams runs, he doesn't have time to think. If he thought about where he was going, he wouldn't get there. He'd be paralyzed by his own brainQuoteI'm not sure the brain circuitry can be converted that drastically and turned off and on like a light switch. When quarterbacks are pressured and looking to throw, there has to be a coolness that takes over. The brain has to work in a different way. Watching Sams trying to stay in the pocket is like watching a butterfly inside of a glass jar. All it wants to do is get out and fly.QuoteThere have been some interesting studies done on attempting to understanding what happens to the human body when there's a cascade of adrenaline ... The point being, everyone has a different response level, but we all are born with the "fight or flight" response. It's the first stage of a general adaption syndrome that protects us from harm. Of course none of these human responses have anything to do with football, or any other sport. Fans mock such theories. After all, if an athlete is good at one thing, he should be able to master or learn any other task. Right? That's what their sports heroes do. And when their heroes fail, they can conveniently explain it away by blaming an old coach.
a collection of quotes from tcu fans explaining their terrible attendance Saturday
Thanks Stefan for sending that out to the world. Why don't you head into the concourse where thousands are packed trying to avoid heatstroke and take a photo? What a tool.
I saw people pass out today. It was HOT.
What made the misery factor awful today was that there was not a breath of wind, the humidity and the heat... I saw three plus people needing medical attention... This makes two home games that have been dangerous for many to sit through because there was no wind and high temps... TCU should have built a domed stadium like some of the northern teams (c'use, Idaho and ND State)... Outside stadiums in areas of the country with extremely high temps worked when early games were at night..
Hey guys, most of our fans sit in air conditioned homes or offices during the week. So to ask people to sit 4 hours in the Texas heat and humidity is asking a lot.
Something needs to be done about this issue, namely installing shade devices.
It was 85 degrees or so but the dew point was 71 and the blazing sun made it miserable.
How much would it cost to add a dome to the Carter?
My car thermometer said 96 degrees when I got in right after the game.
We are a fanbase built on families with kids. We normally had night games while in the MWC except for November and our crowds grew and grew. These early starts topped off with 90+ heat in the direct sun are killing our fanbase.
Using a (adjusted for quality of opponent) points per possession metric we have played 2 (Baylor and OSU). Not be too huge of a debbie downer, but by a similar measure our defense is currently the third worst (yes worse than WV and UT will likely improve past us soon). We give up scores on a very high % of possessions:
% of drives opponent scored against us:
UT -> 45% (5/11)
OSU -> 54% (7/13)
BU -> 42% (5/12)
unfortunately against Baylor they were all touchdowns. It's far too early to say there is a "downward" trend there.

SNOWBRAG, what does SNOWBRAG stand for? tia
The scores are usually wrong but results are pretty solid.
Remind me again what SNOWBRAG stands for?
scores need obvious work but results are good

So I got approached last week to broadcast the softball state championships this Friday in Nebraska. Guess where my glorious destination is? Grand Island, NE!Scratch that. It's Hastings instead.Pro tips would be much appreciated. SD, you wanna party? All expenses paid.
I know a million things to do in Grand Island including where to find the hottest chicks and get the best food. Also, FREE DRINKS! Hastings is a hellhole tho, sorry.
yeah. in this edition of "pump it or dump it", grand island survives another week and hastings is casted off with the other losers. ten pumps for GI and one major dump city usa for craphastings.
Hastings is the name of the assistant of Belgian super stud private investigator Hercule Poirot
Is that the guy who's obsessed with Frank Sinatra?
QuoteSo at work there is a little convenience store where people scan and check themselves out. I decided to see what would happen if I put the back of my hand up to the scanner....
Apparently I ring up as a 20oz bottle of squirt and cost $1.49
It's been so long since I've had a Squirt that I can't remember if I liked it or not.
of course you liked it you weirdo
I got 7-5, but I could see it. Hardest schedule in the Big 12 so far.
SNOWBRAG backs you up (almost).
Overall SOS:
20. West Virginia
30. Kansas State
39. TCU
42. Iowa State
53. Oklahoma
54. Kansas
77. Texas
106. Baylor
113. Texas Tech
114. Oklahoma State
I'm sorry but TCU has had a tougher schedule than ksu.
I forgive you but you are not correct. Their schedules have averaged out to very similar (and I weigh all the FCS teams the same, even though NDSU is probably a much better team than SE Louisiana). #30 is very close #39, Tim.
TCU at TT, TCU at OU and TCU played LSU. that right there is better than KSU schedule
OK Tim. Keep your head in the sand. Baylor is better than each of those 3, and the bottom end of KU + SMU is much, much worse than the bottom end of UMass and ULL. But like I said, #30 is very close to #39 so as Baylor comes down to earth maybe the schedules will reverse. But certainly not now.
Baylor is better than LSU??? lmao, do u really think ksu would stay within 10 of lsu?

Someone handed me a proposal at work and I said "woof"I "woof" stuff a lot at work, also I stole all the goE emoticons and uploaded them to my work instant messaging thingy. Bill dance is a fan favorite!
