This is probably the coolest thing you can do on a boat. Well, one of them anyway. Certainly the coolest thing you can do at over 40 mph on a boat.
The throw is, of course, accurate, but the catch is unreal.

Junior Days are right around the corner, so I thought we’d break down needs, talk recruits, and find a ray of gridiron sunshine in the long and cursed offseason.

Enjoyed watching these guys tonight. I was blown away to see Huggy was 5X coach of the year. He seems like a tourney flame out more often than not. That Kenyon Marting leg break didn’t do him any favors.
How do you see them progresing in the tourney?

Avery Bradley, who shot 77% from the foul line in high school and is now shooting 47% at Texas would probably be shooting closer to his high school average if he played at Duke.
Sweet Jesus that’s ridonkulous.

Importance of Recruiting Rankings by Position.
Now that the recruiting season is over and most Cal fans are waxing poetic (along with some Texas fans) about how great these 17-18 year olds will be, I thought it might be interesting to take a look at recruiting rankings as a potential measurement for future success.

I really don’t want to repeat the horrid situation of the past few years where we starved for depth and talent at DT. It’s critical not to let defensive line recruiting slip. That said, if we bring in two tackles and two ends this year that would be 21 scholarships used on the

It appears as though the dude is committed to raiding the SEC and ignoring the West Coast.
It’s understandable, with the way that recruiting is generally territory based. Isaiah Crowell, the RB we’ve been linked to, goes to Columbus Carver. That’s an Auburn pipeline school. Still, I can’t imagine that recruitment lasting much

Thoughts? I think that’s a damn good write up.
Other than that, root for Willie Warren to be healthy because he screws up Oklahoma’s chemistry. Everything else can be found in your report. Maintain contact with Cade Davis on defense and don’t let TMG go buck wild.

The OL from New Mexico is Matt Hagerty, with a “g”. He’s on pretty much every national top 100 list that I’ve seen so far.

Going into the game you would have thought the battle would have been a classic matchup between West Virginia’s frontcourt and Villanova’s backcourt.
The only question is which team could impose their will and dictate the mismatch. Villanova might try to do it by pressing and playing up tempo. West Virginia’s

The staff is actually recruiting pretty well for a man-blocking scheme with guys like Espinosa, Ashcraft, Huey, and so on… of course Texas doesn’t run such a scheme.

We know Junior Day #1 is this Saturday. There’s flux in regard to who will and won’t be on the roster come the 2010 season, but let’s assume the numbers don’t really matter, as a whole bunch of seniors leave after 2010 and attrition will take place as well.
So your number is 25 max.

Fundamentally on both sides of the ball we are very weak. On defense we are athletic but don’t really understand when to pressure the ball or double team. Many times we over persue at a time when the offensive player is not in a dangerous position and end up giving up an easy

That was awesome. It looked a hell of a lot faster from the boat.
So was the boat going 40 mph? I wonder what the true closing speed of the ball was at it made it to Shipley’s hands (ball speed from Colt’s arm + speed of the boat). Figure that with the angle of the toss and some trig thrown in – say 60 mph total speed?

[...] Throw to your wide receiver flying across the water at 40 mph all you like: the real wonder is in the clip above, where Tulsa’s Mike Bryan demonstrates the time-honored Okie fishing method of noodling, also known as “fishing for non-pussies.” Someday this concept will expand to grouper, tuna, and if you’re a real man, sharks.

For all you kids out there who think it would be cool to imitate Colt and Ship, don’t do this. It is dangerous. Running a boat at 40 mph that close to shore is insane. Standing up in a boat at 40 mph while you are concentrating on catching a football is insane. What happens if you lose your balance when the ride gets a little bumpy and you fall into the pilot? What happens if there is a carom on the ball and it ends up hitting the pilot in the face (at an effective speed > 40 mph)? There is a decent chance it could be disastrous.

My question is who sanctioned this fishing trip? Did the players pay their own way or was there a wealthy crippled man who footed the bill who has no rooting interest?
