The 2019 team would win pretty easily by wearing down the 2011 defense. While the 2011 defense was fantastic would hold their own against the 2019, the 2011 offense depended heavily on turnovers and Burrows didn't turn the ball over. Despite a mediocre defense in 2019, the 2011offense was pretty mediocre too and wouldn't have been able to sustain the long drives they would need to. This would also put the 2011 defense trying to stop Burrow and Co on a short field

QB evaluation is about the most inaccurate of any position.
All you have to do is look at the last 15 years of the elite 11.
The NFL should be full of these guys from 15 to 4 years ago,
but it’s the opposite. For every top QB, there’s 5 that you don’t
even recognize their name.

Top rated QB’s tend to be the guys with the measurables and play
at the top high schools where their teams have a significant size and
speed advantage over their opponents.

While the majority of the people thought Verge was only here
because of his loyalty and not so much his talent. Turns out this
loyalty actually caused him to be overlooked because he did so much
without seeking the credit or attention

While I don't think that Texas turned off the AC, what actually happened was as bad or worse. My friends son played for LA Tech and they played there the week before us. The locker room was so poorly insulated and it was extremely hot, that even with the AC turned all the way down, it was very hot. Texas knew this, it was even hotter the day of our game and we were going to have many more people in the room than LA Tech did and Texas didn't bring in extra AC units to help cool the locker room down.

As far as the visitor seating, I remember when A & M joined the conference, the SEC made them give the visiting team 1000 tickets in the lower bowl.
They had wanted to wait till there upgrade was finished the next year becasue they didn't have that requirement in the Big 12 and the SEC wouldn't budge.

As a whole and not just limited to us, juniors with a first round draft grade
seem to suffer from "nagging injuries" in their last season of college football.
Very often for us these have been the recepients of the number 7.
Devon White is the only player we have had that had a first round grade and was significantly better his last year. Peterson and Campbell maintained their all american level and some others played well, just not quite as good as their sophmore seasons.

I think we are blaming Beth for lack of NIL funds situation. Softball has very
limited earning potential after college, so you really can't blame them for chasing the bag to get what they can get when they can get it.

With the popularity of our gymanstics and woman's basketball teams, softball lags far behind in support of women's sports and we will have a problem retaining good players from transferring to teams that will pay them significantly more NIL money

I fully believe that both conferences will expand to about 24 teams and their champions will meet for national championships like in the major pro sports.
Probably 3/4 games within your conference with the other 1/4 against Big 10 schools.

I don't buy that he didn't have a chance to start for us. Year after year, there is a player that hits his way into the lineup and Larson as a freshman is an example of that. This year Braun hit his way into the lineup and Serna/Arrambide went from a straight catching rotation to a catcher/DH rotation because of their hitting.

If Larson returned to the form of his freshman year, he probably beats out Stanfield even if he doesn't get hurt Turns out Larson probably would have strated most of the season if he hit well anyway because of the injuries to Stanfield and later to Brown

I'm sure most of those players want to see their NIL value and aren't specifically unhappy at LSU. Unfortunately softball doesn't have much earning potential after college except for the true elite players. Just look at Texas Tech bringing in all americans off of really good teams because they paid them more NIL money.
With questionable future earning potential, you can hardly blame the players for chasing the bag. With footbal and basketball, I feel many players are hurting their long term earning for a short term payoff which, while being a good chunk of money, is a drop in the bucket to a pro contract for a good player.

There was a major issue with our O line when Moott was here.
I don't care how strong a player is, your technique must be good to
be a good O lineman. When our line failed to get a good push against
lesser opponents, it was genereally assumed by our fans that they weren't strong enough. While strength is a necessity for O lineman, if they can't put that strength with good technique, they aren't going to effective. While I was never sure how good Moffitt was, I was sure that we were certainly strong enough to look much better than we were.

Hopefully we have corrected this situation to now have great coaching along with superior strenth and conditioning
