If Texas Tech is ever really, really good, you better bet that I'll be as insufferable as possible.

So basically, I'll be sad and pitiable for the rest of my life.

Same here, but for ISU. I'd be smug as gently caress.

Like, in basketball I don't care as much, plus we've been good before and it's all just on a player or two anyway. So being good at basketball doesn't do that to me.

But if ISU ever had even a 9-3 season I'd be insufferable.

How many people do they have working these? I guess I'd always sort of assumed that someone just did, like, all the passing stats and they were able to generate the "Ben threw to Miller" stat on the fly from a computer.

Late to this, but some of it is auto generated by the guys imputing stuff into the computer, but its not really easy to just pull that up quickly and plop it into a graphic. Typically the "graphics" crew is libero operator (the person actually making the graphics happen), a shot caller, and a bug (the thing that the score is actually on) operator then an o-stats guy doing what I do and a "talent" stats guy who's working with the on-air guys handing them stats and other poo poo. In bigger crews, like what you see on on ESPN's prime time productions or any of the national FSN shows (given what I know about CBS's college basketball, I assume their football operation is even crazier) you'll have more people involved and you might have a couple graphics people and more "stats" guys (Fox has been having talent, ostats, and a first and ten guy) Which means my job is sometimes different from crew to crew and production to production.

Like Baylor, I was working with a guy who wanted to call the game entirely and all I had to do was correct him if he was wrong and occasionally give them stuff like drive chart or FG distance. Other times I am not even really on with the Talent Stats because I am doing nothing but servicing the bug operator or for ESPN's basketball show "slider" (which is a little different than just the bug.)

Won't result in a strong enough disturbance in the force for them to feel it. Stinespring is single handedly responsible for many a thousand yard stare. And I mean that in the sense that a thousand yards is his offense's ceiling for a season and all you can do is stare in disbelief.

Not to drag this back up but

quote:

When Harrell was a sophomore, Texas Tech faced a crucial fourth down late in a game on the road against Texas A&M. Leach called “Ace Check,” which meant the Red Raiders would line up in a single-back formation, and then it was up to Harrell to audible to whatever play he wanted. “I’m thinking, Come on, man,” Harrell says. “But by my senior year, he did that half the time, and I loved it.”


Leach is one of the ballsiest coaches in CFB. I love it. I wish Chip Kelly was still in the Pac-12 to go along with.

24 straight, bitch.

FSU is a wildly inconsistent team that oscillates between offensive juggernaut and middling ACC team. I completely expect this to catch up to them at some point this year before the playoff. Our blood will be spilled, you heathens will be satiated.

I love everything about Mike Leach. He's like Spurrier, but he cares even less. I love his ADD.

I remember reading an article some years ago while he was on hiatus, and the reporter described him arriving for the interview on rollerblades, wearing denim cutoffs, with a big-gulp sized coffee in his hand.

I've been :swoon: over Leach since that very moment. A brilliant guy that doesn't give a gently caress what anyone thinks.

One day Craig James is going to disappear. Years later we will find out he rotted in the bilge of Leach's replica pirate ship, and there will rejoicing.

I'd take Leach at UF any day of the loving week.
