2 weeks 4 days ago	Thanks	3 Floyd's and Bell's are like sasquatch legends out here cause we never get to taste them. I'm hoping what they are pouring are good examples
42 weeks 23 hours ago	I feel you!	I'm about 200 miles north of you in Paso Robles.  My substandard Euchre skills get used once a year during summer vacations in Lexington.  Sure the weather's nice out here, but no Bells distribution, no Euchre, and constant media reminders about how rad USC is...

1 year 9 weeks ago	Delonte	Any word on why Delonte Hollowell get's no mentions when talking about secondary?  He seemed to make enough of an impact in practice last year to burn his red shirt.  Played decently against Nebraska and made a huge play in the Sugar Bowl.  I was expecting him to be at least the third corner if not pushing for the 2nd spot.  Then this spring has been crickets.  Anyone have insight?

2 years 17 weeks ago	True	But after dealing with 50 replies arguing if the Dude had crashed the plane into the god damn mountain or not, I was just happy to tally anything.
2 years 17 weeks ago	Srsly	Yeah I skipped the pressure on Swanson cause I knew he might snap under the pressure.  But big Nate needs that fire under his ass you know.
2 years 18 weeks ago	What's tough to get here?	I just want people to predict who they think will make "the leap" next year.  It's Feb and a fun and simple exercise.
2 years 18 weeks ago	Thanks Man	I hope I get more than ten people willing to do this.
2 years 21 weeks ago	Awesome	I'd love for a more video talented member to make a reel of Carvin's tackles.  He and Cam both had a nasty mentality to me when making hits.  Sadly Cam would bounce off or fall down due to poor technique.  I forget exaclty which game it was, but I rember Carvin getting credit for a sack because his hit blew the quarteback behind the LOS.  He also had that get up quick and swagger about him after hits that showed how much he wants to hit.  That to me was one of the biggest elements missing in our defense.  That desire to blow people up.  Carvin's got it, and thanks for the data to back it up.  Dude was an undersized true freshman.  He's gonna be a true beast.   On a side note, I love how someone can post some previously discussed pointless topic on the board with a grammatical error and get 40 responses in 10 minutes.  This dude spent hours and hours putting together something actually useful and has 4 comments hours later.  Wow.
2 years 22 weeks ago	Observation For Stat Type	The people who seem to doubt that Denard can, you know, be an actual QB, claim he could only hit bubble screens and shorts to the flat.  Yet if you look his stats for big 10 play only, he led the league in yards/attempt at 9.3.  I have always been led to belive that yards/att directly relates to generally how far downfield most attempts are.  This makes me think we was actually hitting people downfield.  I can't find YAC adjustment stats for college, which would settle the argument.  But just wanted to get feedback on my understanding of yards/att.
2 years 22 weeks ago	Best West Coast QB	In my opinion, the best west coast QB of all time, Steve Young, was just a tad over 6' and was not as great a passer as Joe Montana was.  But he was able to make the 5-15 yard passes, and his scrambling/running ability was what truly made that early 90's 49ers offense the best in the league.  He would generally take off 4-8 times a game.  If Al Borges can work with Denard on picking his spots to scramble, design some roll outs where he can choose run or pass, I think Denard can be extremely dangerous in the West Coast.  Remember, it is the THREAT of running not just his actual running that makes him such a dificult QB to defend.  But above all, Denard has the one trait that is most important for all great QBs.  His improvement from freshman to sophmore could only be accomplished by someone who has that elite internal drive the pushes one improve.  He's got that.    Also if he no longer has to worry about making reads on every single run play as well as pass plays, it seems to me that the West Coast may be a bit simpler for him to run.  Is that crazy talk?  I mean, in the RR offense, Denard had to learn and make the proper read on every single play.  In a pro-style, he can just hand the ball off roughly 50% of the time.  Wouldn't that allow him to concentrate more on pass reading during practice, thus allowing him to develop even more as a passer?
2 years 26 weeks ago	Agreed	Cheers
2 years 26 weeks ago	Agreed	I think that is the obvious next step.  I might put together a look at the lineman at Wisc and MSU and see what it looks like.  My guess is start big, get bigger.
2 years 27 weeks ago	Dang It	I keep having to move him on my spreadsheet!!!

2 years 27 weeks ago	Sorry	Sometimes watching sporting events via a live blog makes me think I'm playing Zork again and I am reminded that I'm not as cool as I think I am.  So I quickly try and think about football which makes me feel more manly.
