@dafarmer asked (last week after cutoff): Serious question. 3rd and 1 on the Texas 31, why in the #### call a quarterback rollout? Maybe let Hall run the ball.
Rulzzz: Going to agree with you on this one. Give Breece the rock.
Pants: Honestly, I don’t even remember this play it was so long ago. I know the common sense thing is to just give it to the back, but I’m not opposed to rolling out a quarterback that can run. You’re making the defense plan to cover more of the field that way and have the potential to get a big play as well.
GTO: Have to agree with you on this. It just always seems like our staff overthinks short yardage situations and then trip on their own feet. Keep it simple, stupid!
@jcyclonee wasting a question on this: I have a very important question that I need to ask. Is it too late to submit it?
Pants: It’s never too late to submit. Unless it’s after 10pm Iowa time on Monday. Then it’s too late.
GTO: Yes, you should see your doctor to get that growth checked out.
Rulzzz: Yes
@Sigmapolis asks: What are your five favorite albums (in no particular order) and briefly why?
Who starts the *last* game of this basketball season -- not senior night, where the seniors take precedence, but the last game in KC or in the postseason?
GTO: Jock Jams Vol. 1-5. Barring any injuries, same 5 that started the season.
Rulzzz: “Endless Summer” by the Beach Boys. Beach Boys were the first group I remember getting into. I’m kind of cheating because this is a compilation of hits album but every song is good.
“Full Moon Fever” by Tom Petty. Huge Petty fan and this is my favorite Petty Album.
“Dookie” by Green Day. Probably the album that really put them on the map.
“Americana” Offspring. Just a solid album from start to finish.
“Doggystyle” by Snoop Dogg. Huge fan of late 80’s early 90’s rap and this is my favorite.
I also like the current starting 5. I like having a weapon like Conditt coming off the bench.
Pants: -“Brothers” by The Black Keys. The first like, 8 or so songs are the best opening to any album I’ve ever heard.
-”Rubber Soul” by The Beatles. Always have been a huge Beatles fan. And Norwegian Wood is one of my favorite Beatles songs.
-”Wonderful Wonderful” by The Killers. LOVE The Killers. Best band I’ve ever seen live. It wasn’t originally an album I loved, but man, has it grown on me over time. “The Man” and “The Calling” are some fantastic songs.
-”rose ave.” by You+Me. This is a strange one that most people on a sports board will probably say “WTF?” to. You+Me was essentially just Dallas Green, of City and Colour, getting together with Alecia Moore, better known as P!nk, and saying, “hey, let’s do a folk music album together.” Definitely won’t be a big hit with most that read this, but man, their voices together are just phenomenal and how they can mix up who takes the high lines and who takes the low lines are just kind of magical to listen to if you’re really into harmony.
-I don’t know if live albums count, but “Near Truths and Hotel Rooms Live” by Todd Snider is a joy to listen to. Todd Snider is like, a folk/Americana modern day musician and he’s great (also have seen him twice in concert and he’s fantastic). He’s a great story teller, and if you listen to his normal albums, you don’t get that sense of that. He tells the story of the Ballad of Devil’s Backbone Tavern and it’s like a 10 minute story for a 3 minute song, and it’s hilarious. Below is a link to it.
Also, I’m not planning for injuries, so the end of season lineup ends the way it started. I like this lineup, and think we’ll get some of those 3 point shooting kinks worked out.
