I was thinking more about during than before.Well, you don't get in trouble for breaking rules before you break them.
You usually aren't this drunk this early in the day.

Frank Beamer inherited a Va Tech program that was on probation and had reduced schollies, so he was granted some leeway, but in his first six seasons went 24-40-2. No way a coach survives that today. BTW - Over the next 18 seasons he went 185-58.Speaking of the 85 bears. Jim Mcmahon played college at BYU for a guy named Lavell Edwards. His first four years coaching he never won more than 7 games. After his 4th year he began winning and was very successful for many years.
This was all before my time, 1972- into the early 90's so before I was born and until before I cared about football. I just learned about this guy and thought about Billy because his first 4 years were 7-4, 5-6, 7-4-1, and 6-5.
I'm not saying Billy will ever be good but I have never seen that before (or paid enough attention) where a coach started off like poo-poo and then a light switch went off and he started winning championships. Anyone of you older posters have any insight into this guy Lavell? Like how could they have known
Edwards was responsible for the early air raid offense. Mike Leach and Hal Mumme are credited with the term air raid, but Edwards decided to go pass heavy in the 80s when football was run heavy. He also recruited some great Qbs McMahon, Steve Young, Detmer who helped. Having playing in a smaller conference probably helped, but no one knew what hit them when Edwards decided to chuck it all over the field.Speaking of the 85 bears.

Im sure you could also recognize the difference between the second or third most prestigious university in Utah and how long it takes to win there vs taking something like the flagship program of Florida, Texas or California (distant third) where you have homefield advantage in the most talent rich states in the country, right?Speaking of the 85 bears.

Is anyone else surprised that Spurffel is thinking about sex with Jim McMahon?I was thinking more about during than before.
Sorry, I know I need to get back on the subject. We're gonna get our asses kicked next season.Is anyone else surprised that Spurffel is thinking about sex with Jim McMahon?
Could you have gone 4-6 years without sex?Is anyone else surprised that Spurffel is thinking about sex with Jim McMahon?
Especially with the starting quarterback of the football team.Finding a girl that would give it up, not so hard.
Finding a girl that will keep her mouth shut, good fuchen luck with that.

As for how could they have known, it is pretty simple. He was an early adopter of an attacking passing offense, which attracts elite QBs and WRs. He was just the one of hundreds who thought they could win the game by smashing into the line of scrimmage and getting 2 yards at a time. Or winning 17-10 or 12-0 by running the clocking and boring the other team to death.
i dont have time to list all the 1000 yard receivers for you. Do you have google? You should try it.Good points, except you’ll need to enlighten us with a list of BYU’s elite WRs. I can’t think of one.

Marshall had a great offense back then too, but other than Randy Moss, who only went to Marshall do to his multiple arrests, none did anything in NFL. Lower division WRs rarely do but they can still be elite for their level.Of course I looked. I was actually surprised to see they’ve only ever had a couple of WRs drafted and none who did anything in the NFL. I expected there would be at least a few very good guys that came out of that offense, overlooked by the big programs or late bloomers. But no.
Yeah, that caught my ear as well.That dude's a hopium salesmen. Hit me up around 3rd week of August. I might be back on the train.
What 3 "number 1 at their position" players did we land? We got another OLine ringer? Awesome.
The title is a little misleading. But what I could take out of it is that we have four solid OTs which allows George to move inside. George said in an interview that he was too heavy last year and did not have the energy or the agility to play OT late in games.
He went to Sale during the off-season and asked if he could move inside because he feels more comfortable playing inside. Sale told him that he would prefer that he played OT, but George was adamant about playing inside. So he is now going to be our RG.
