mcgufcm 4,107 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I’d like to test Anders’ leg on extra points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 My man-crush did a pretty good job. I'd grade him out at a solid "B". He seems relaxed, but focused. Confident, but serious. And thankfully, he didn't have that "pissed off, I hate the media, not going to answer any stupid questions" attitude. This is just baseline. Let's see how he assesses after the game...

oracle79 3,569 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Question about our schedule. From what I've seen just casually perusing media reports, it seems we play a lot of teams with a lot of returning starters. I know @StatTiger used to do his analytics of total games played by returning players and related that to success on the field. Has anyone ever looked at a team's schedule and done any analytics on how many starters their opponents have and how that relates to winning for the upcoming season? Seems like that might be a big factor in schedule strength and success for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I'll say it again for about the 10th year. Why can't we have wireless mics for the reporters asking questions during the press conference? You can almost hear them in this video but the live radio broadcast was inaudible.

You'd hope that those responsible for the AP preseason rankings would factor in experience, but Vegas probably does a much better job of it.

That’s because Vegas has a lot more $ riding on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeek 16,660 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Worm cracking into that 3a and 3b role with Asa... I can't remember who said it on here but we might have some kids considering transfers soon. That aside, I'm very excited to watch the Martin + Worm combo mature together over the next four years.

I’d be very surprised if one of our RBs decide to transfer. ....unless of course Gus decides to only play one RB all season until his legs fall off again.

But it's true that he's potentially an NFL guy with an uphill battle at AU. Barrett's a true WR now and Joiner's some sort of Hback/flanker/TE/slot/Mario Fannin/Charles Clay/Trey Burton* hybrid. *I'm the only one saying Trey Burton so take it for what it's worth, which is less than whatever's stuck to the bottom of your shoe ATM.
