Bret Bielema literally believes that increased number of plays per game is bad but increased number of games is fine.

In something resembling spring practice news, the local media has seen enough to predict a legitimate QB battle at Nebraska come August between Tommy Armstrong, who's gonna be a junior, and ... not either of his backups from last year, but rather a RS frosh named AJ Bush who got an offer from Pelini and Co. really late in the 2014 cycle. Was a Rivals 2* with offers from BC, K-State and some mid-majors. New staff aside, I suppose it's nice to have some springtime intrigue in Lincoln for a change

Invicta{HOG}, M.D. posted:Has anyone managed to accumulate and analyze data with regards to the speed of the game/number of plays and how it relates to player injury? When it was first brought up last year there was a lot of derision but it seemed like there was not much data to go on either way. Has anything changed in the past year? Very anecdotal, but BG ran a hurry-up on crack and while it didn't seem like we were getting more injured than normal, it definitely had the team looking more fatigued than normal, especially our defense.

Century club is the best drinking game because it focuses on drinking, and paying attention to timers. Which gets hard near the end. We also used to do a condensed version where in the first minute you had one shot of beer, second minute you had 2, third minute you had 3, and so on for 12 minutes. On the 12th minute you just shotgunned a whole beer. I don't remember what we called that but it owned.

Not a drinking game, but A&M does "Ring Dunks" which is where you and a group of friends stand on a table with a bunch of people watching you, drop your ring in a pitcher of cheap beer, and race to chug the pitcher the fastest. It ends up in people either vomiting everywhere, holding it in and getting real drunk and stumbling around a few minutes later, or being exposed as a baby in front of everyone because they strategically spilled the beer instead of drinking it.

If you're suffering football withdrawal and spring practice isn't enough, then tonight at midnight Eastern time Princeton will be playing the Kwansei Gakuin Fighters, who have won the Japanese college football championship 4 times in a row. There will probably be a stream somewhere.

I found it weird that football took off in any aspect in Japan. They have a surprisingly good youth setup and if you ignore America being so far ahead of the rest of the world it's pretty much Japan and Canada at the top.

Team concepts work a lot better over there because it has such a larger emphasis vs the individuality that's usually pushed here in America. So the whole idea of everyone has their job and you do it and trust each other plays very well with their established culture. Also we left it and baseball there post WW2. Genetics are the big thing holding them back, just not a lot of Linemen sized guys over there.

You're really saying the country that invented sumo wrestling couldn't produce linemen if they wanted to? I know that Europeans have come to dominate sumo in the past decade or so, but even still there are lots of pretty drat athletic big native boys running around Japan.

You could develop some interior OL maybe but they aren't full of thousands upon thousands of teenage kids towering over the population. The country is loving tiny and a trip over there would shock you. I'm right at 6 feet tall and I honestly felt like a giant when we went on vacation there.

Sure I'm not saying they'd be world beaters, and yeah they are short. I'm just saying that it is likely more a questions about where the culture is investing in sports. If football was the num 1 sport I'm sure they'd produce some decent linemen, even if they were all on the short side. And trust me I understand it's a short country. My dad had to stoop to get through the doors in one house we lived in over there.

IIRC it took hold fairly easily but it blew up when a barnstorming team with Babe Ruth and a bunch if other future Hall of Famers came in for a tour in the 30s. The craziest part is that their high school baseball playoffs are like the biggest sporting event of the year.

It's basically what CB brought up, your big time sumo wrestlers are a good solid 260-300 lbs of muscle, but they top out at like 5'10" , and most of them are between 5'4" - 5'6" they just aren't tall enough or long enough for what you'd want in a lineman. While I'm sure they have the strength to compete, I'm also not sure about lateral agility since their competition space is so much smaller than a playing field. As you are aware I'm 6'4" and I towered over just about everyone in Japan. Wide perhaps, but not that tall over there.

I want one of them to try to make it as a 2 gap DT, seems like the job of being impossible to move or knock down would help out the most there.
