I dont know who all this will interest, but it's been on my mind to start an annual thread to share what we each have learned or are taking away from the past football season...in its sum total...UT, college, pros, football in general, specific or not. Here's mine...purely scattershooting:
1. The nose tackle may be the 2nd most important position on a football team
2. Recruiting should begin and end with linemen
3. Really hard to tell which is more important with coaching, scheme/systems or motivation/buy-in. Seems like often coaching induced focus, confidence, and inspiration trumps schemes...though I realize the two are related. Just look at Matt Rhule for example of the original point here^^^^
4. Jerry Jones....that's all. Jerry Jones..smh
5. UT fanbase sometimes does more harm than good...like many others.
6. Really like some things I'm hearing about culture coming out of our program
7. Hope it translates to wins
8. Sports media may reflect how dumb we are as a culture almost as much as commercials do. Any time I turn on any form of sports media (which is rare thank God), my IQ immediately drops about 50 points, which still leaves me about 50 points above whoever I'm hearing.
9. The transfer portal unnerves me
10. Will 2019 mark a decline for two of the most dominant powers in football history, college and pro...Pats and Tide??
11. College recruiting and the I-first, over-hyped young recruit, with his eyes on fame and $$ is more disturbing to me now than ever before...throw in social media's rise and gas that ridiculous fire even more.
11 1/2. Tight ends are very very important and mostly misunderstood, underappreciated, and underutilized
12. NCAA corrupt and lacking moral conscience
13. NFL " " " " " " "
14. ou still sucks
15. aggys are poor football program engineers
What do you all "know" about football right now?
