It's not the pace of play that makes them better at sustaining drives its the fact that they were sustaining drives that was the point I was trying to make.

There was some fear that if they moved at a quicker pace they could be more of a burden on the defense, 3 & outs become much more detrimental. The good news is, our old offense went three and out a lot. Memphis offense sustained longer drives making them less of a burden.

3 quick thoughts:

1) 3 seconds difference in pace of play seems fairly minor to me.
2) I would think the extra 5 min of TOP for the opponent could put appreciable strain on a defense over time
3) I'm not sure how you draw your conclusions based on the 2nd set of data from that 2nd set of data. Even within the 2nd set of data there is little correlation I can see between pace of play and the last 3 columns. 3 and outs are a function of a lot of things - most of which have little to do with speed of an offense.

Frank is the man! He is a great spokesman for us and hopefully he will remain publicly active with the program. I have no doubt Frank can do this in a fun way without interfering/overshadowing the new regime.

This is what confuses me the most about the update -- the goal was to keep fonts consistent but we change it almost immediately after repainting the basketball court and putting up the new scoreboard in Lane? I had hoped that we'd be sticking with that font since it seemed that was the start of some consistency...

Edit: I also really f-ing love the futura bold, so I may just be bitter

That's not how glamours work. She's not actively using any magic by wearing the necklace. The necklace itself has already been hexed. This is explained poorly in the show, and would make more sense if they had shown that the "Mance Rayder" burning was actually Rattleshirt wearing a glamour. Rattleshirt could not do magic, ergo, it's the item itself, with no contribution from the wearer.

The thing is, as bad as those games were for them, the play by play summaries are eerily similar to our VT UVA game. There was something like 6 straight 3 and outs back and forth.

I personally loved the ole custom Futura Bold typeface. It was really sharp. We just jumped to 2035 with this futuristic "NASA-inspired" font.


Apparently, this is less effective than yelling "Beetlejuice" three times.

It's a f'ing crime that they never made any of these for sale to the public. Talk about a completely wasted revenue stream.

Keep in mind these numbers are only from the last 5 games, and TCU's stats will be pretty heavily skewed by their punt-fest against Baylor in the rain. There were a combined 22 punts that game (TCU had 12), and I remember when it went to overtime, I was pretty confident we would get to see the elusive college overtime punt.

Edit: It's worth mentioning that TCU and Baylor were both hit particularly hard by injuries late in the season (Baylor literally abandoned the concept of a QB), and despite capping off their respective seasons with bowl wins, neither team was close to full strength down the stretch. So the last 5 games may not be the most representative sample.
