    What these guys don’t understand that if Harris had been elected, the Republican Party would probably be in much better position than it is now. For the folks worried about Commies, Harris would’ve had a narrowly divided Congress with a probable Democratic control of the house and Republican...

    Lindsey

    Your dad was wrong, Byrd was a Roosevelt liberal and a Constitutionalist. I know other than Reagan and maybe Ike, the GOP hasn’t had very many popular POTUSes since Teddy, so they like to glom onto Truman and JFK.

    Lindsey

    Truman integrated the military and started the Marshall Plan. He was the first president to propose a national health insurance program. He thought the Republicans were a bunch of do nothings.

    Rank our top 5 OL

    Offensive lineman were littered throughout the all conference list when Osborne was Coach. I count six after he retired. The last was Spencer Long during Pelini.

    He wasn’t feeling well and was encouraged to seek medical help and said he would do that after his Meet the Press interview Sunday morning.

    Rank our top 5 OL

    Perhaps not a popular take, but the Oline did do the blocking for an All-American RB. And the thing they really sucked at was in the service of a QB that has no running instincts and likes to hold the ball too long. Had EJ been more of a dancing bear in the backfield, the run blocking would have...

    Rank our top 5 OL

    Wade has the best track record of any OLine coach since Cotton, whose lines over performed their recruiting profile. We also bit**ed about Barney.

    Very much looks like Evans will be the only non-portal guy in the starting five.

    TO's offense = Identity

    The rushing offense that TO developed was complex and more than just the option. He had the benefit of long tenured assistants and was able to evolve and optimize the offense over years. Because of its potency, he was always able to get the skill players he needed. That kind of long-term...

    RB1

    My thinking for the coming season is that Wade’s approach to the OL controls, there will be a build out with what worked in the run game, and Holgerson will have a QB operating the offense who is more suited to what he likes to do.

    RB1

    And that was the case the prior year. Not sure when I posted, but some weeks before the season I posted that EJ would get over 1000 yds rushing. Few on the board were in agreement, and many of us though that it was a travesty they didn't pay for Char-Mar. Nelson may be leaving the team, but...

    RB1

    Let's check Nelson's domestic violence rap sheet coming out of HS. Which coach gets the blame for the Georgia kid robbing a vape store?

    RB1

    Nelson showed well when given PT last season, but is apparently an angry idiot. What this has to do with Barthel other than him getting a lightly recruited player ready to take reps in the Big 10 is a mystery to me. Somehow Nelson's stupidity is a fault of Barthel to some of you. Improvement in...

    TO's offense = Identity

    And if you look at the old highlights, those option passes usually featured a receiver or two running wide open. Hell, Tommie arm punted it to a completion half the time. And if you are wondering about Dana, his remarks about Colandrea could have been predicted - "He had mobility," Holgorsen...

    TO's offense = Identity

    Both Humm and Ferragamo played in the NFL. Vince played in Super Bowl. TO thought he needed better ball control for the OU game, and a system that was able to compete with the wishbone. And the thing was of course decisive was that once the system was in it could tweaked and improved each...
