Within reason can mean many different things to many different people. I couldn't have known what you meant on that without further elaboration.

I wasn't talking about the talent of any given player FWIW. I was talking about the collective group of talent. My apologies for not making that clear. I still the collective talent (which is how you addressed things in your last sentence) & cohesion are equally important.alent

Braden & Golson were much more talented than anything we have on the OL this year plus Dunn was an experienced C who did well once he got going. Take or leave what I'm posting but the info is not mine. It comes from people who know much more about this team than most of us.

My friend, I think you are having a problem following your own posts, lol.  You were clearly talking about the talent of given players in your post to AuburnTiger4Life. That is the post that prompted my original "within reason" response to you.

I am not having a problem following my own posts. Even though I mentioned a few by name, in no way was I saying the talent of 1 or 2 guys as being more important than collective talent. I may be dumb sometimes but there's no way in hell I'm that dumb. As I said in my last post I didn't make my point clear before which I already applogized for so please let's move on already since at the core of what we are saying is mostly agreement.

Side note: Glad McLoofus knew what I meant even though I didn't state it well.

Oh no, not you too, haha. That context (see response to E above) was that E was talking about individual players and that prompted my original post. Have you been getting into the cooking wine with E again ?

There are hardly, if any spread football teams up here and most of the squads run a pseudo-offense comparable to Wisconsin. A lot of it has to do with the type of athletes up here as well.

Not to mention, no one likes throwing and catching a football in sub-freezing weather.  Then throw in some snow and ice and wind chill - yeah they're gonna run it a good bit more often.

Dude, I think you just invented the worst best cooking show ever. Loof and E, getting tipsy on cooking wine, arguing about football and cooking the most pathetic omelette ever.

Yah you are, it happens a lot actually, but it's not worth continuing the discussion.

It is unfortunate none of the other teams on Auburn's schedule have any flaws. Perhaps Auburn would win a few games if they did.

Count me as an investor.  Just give me executive producer credit and allow me on set to sample along with y'all.

What P5 college teams in our region, SEC/ACC are consistently fielding really good olines, winning with them and then putting those players in the pro's?  Whatever they're doing to evaluate and sign top level HS talent, develop those players over a 12-24 month period and how they customize an offensive scheme to suit those olines would be interesting to look at IMO.  

For years I've felt like LSU's olines have been soft and I never understood how Les Miles was an "oline guy" at his core and his olines weren't reliable in execution and just flat out got whipped in the trenches many times.  He pulled 4-5* olinemen and it just appeared he couldn't get them strong enough to manhandle some really good defensive teams which caused serious problems when he wanted to shake up his offensive scheme over the years.  Oline severely limited his ability to evolve his offense and eventually cost him his job.

Well to show you how little concern Southern Miss is to me, I'm going to Notre Dame that day for the ND/Stanford game.  I have zero rooting interest in either team.  Liberty weekend will probably have me at another random game somewhere because they're Liberty.

Good choice.  USM has no Brett Farv..rah so I don't see much challenge either.  If it WERE a challenge?  I wouldn't want to be there for it....knowwaddimean?

Southern Miss just lost to ULM. If either them or Arkansas provides a legitimate challenge, it's MAJOR cause for concern.

Hopefully there will also be a lot of vodka chicken and bourbon steak recipes discussed as well as beer battered fish and cheese sticks....

Okay, I'm heading to the Sarasota Brewing Company later.  Maybe I can't imbibe in the nectar but their beer battered cheese logs (yes, logs) are calling my name!

Pretty sure that he's normally napping at this time. And by "at this time" I mean anywhere from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on most days.
