Thanks Taft!

Agree. I think our conditioning has really been a strength this year. It's why we're so damn good in the 4th quarter. Hopefully that'll continue to be the case.

We might get a bit of help too with our guys playing at what is 6pm with the schedule they’re normally on.

Read somewhere about a boxer who only trained late at night because that’s when his fights were.

That's also why I could see UW's offense running a lot of 4 and 5 WR sets (including Westover / Culp as a WR). Since Texas' strength is its front 7, why not force them to sub in an extra DB or two and remove one of their good DLs and one of their good LBs.

That will also make their fat DL tired from subbing in and out when we change personnel on them.

It will come down to the team that scores the most points

Nuff said about that

Oregon fans would disagree.

Sark gonna have his gysum's ready to rumble, Lanning style. Therefore, I'm guessing the Tejas bigbois will overlook the Trench Dawgs (as inferior sudo G5's) and get blown off the line ala O in the CCG. UW will open with a mix RPO's, slants and inside passes to work the heavy DB sets PK's going to run out. Dawgs will look to balance in the run game with counters, some motion, maybe even a wheel route. Dawgs will be looking for those long sustained drives to try and keep the Texas D on the field as long as possible early to slow the HAUSes down, then go balls deep over and over. OR they may just go Rome back shoulder fade, Jalen crossing guard, Polk on a 25 yard flag. Eitherway Dawgs win rather easily.

But what about the elevation difference in New Orleans?

The Battle of New Orleans was fought on January 8, 1815, between the British Army under Major General Sir Edward Pakenham and the United States Army under Brevet Major General Andrew Jackson,[2] roughly 5 miles (8 km) southeast of the French Quarter of New Orleans,[6] in the current suburb of Chalmette, Louisiana[1].[2]

The battle was the climax of the five-month Gulf Campaign (September 1814 to February 1815) by Britain to try to take New Orleans, West Florida, and possibly Louisiana Territory which began at the First Battle of Fort Bowyer. Britain started the New Orleans campaign on December 14, 1814, at the Battle of Lake Borgne and numerous skirmishes and artillery duels happened in the weeks leading up to the final battle.

The battle took place 15 days after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, which formally ended the War of 1812, on December 24, 1814, though it would not be ratified by the United States (and therefore did not take effect) until February 16, 1815, as news of the agreement had not yet reached the United States from Europe.[7] Despite a large British advantage in numbers, training, and experience, the American forces defeated a poorly executed assault in slightly more than 30 minutes. The Americans suffered just 71 casualties, while the British suffered over 2,000, including the deaths of the commanding general, Major General Sir Edward Pakenham, and his second-in-command, Major General Samuel Gibbs.

Fan Duel has Britain as a 7 point favorite on a neutral battle field

WOOF

Hey, if we can handle the altitude of the LA Coliseum with the torch lit, we'll be ready to rumble below sea level.

New Orleans is at or below sea level, resulting in a high water table in the soil. If a body or coffin is placed in an in-ground tomb in New Orleans, there is risk of it being water-logged or even displaced from the ground. For this reason, the people of New Orleans have generally used above-ground tombs.

i cant believe i am saying this, but the defense with asa and kam at safety looks much better than usual

They are better. It helps when everyone else is playing in their natural positions.

If I hadn’t already made one comment about @trublue necrophilia habit today, I’d joke about how he’s asking his parole officer whether he’s allowed to travel to New Orleans.
