40 Times

[kris1]

Didn't those other guys mostly play against way better competition?

Uconndogs and Stairmaster - when will you actually break a story of any value?

Chief, it's kind of ironic that you break a story about shockingly low RB 40 times and the very posters who attack anyone for being optimistic when things are bad are suddenly upset because you are bursting their bubble on the breaking news that the coaches were amazed at the slow 40 speeds. (Serano aside). Having been admittedly over optimistic in some past projections, I have learned to temper expectations and I realize that's all you were doing. Other than Arkeel, we have no tested and true backs, just some young pups we are all counting on, Hopkins, Vicker's, Mensha, etc.

Further, how could you possibly insinuate that we have slow running backs, considering that out of 128 FBS teams UCONN finished dead last in scoring offense, 122 in total offense and 118th in rushing YPG!

Chief, I was with you and Randy after the meet the coaches event on 2/16 at the Rent. I saw first hand how warmly he greeted you. It was obvious to me that the two of you have a good relationship with some history. I would not be surprised if you were privy to info such as you shared.

From personal experience it's a fine balancing act to convey info that may be valuable and interesting to Boneyarders while at the same time not breaching the confidence and trust that one has developed over the years with key members of the program. So thank you for sharing.

So to all of my Boneyard buddies it's our differences and clashes that at times make the boneyard interesting and quite frankly fun. We are an odd brood and each poster has their own unique style and on line persona. Not that Chief needs any defenders but some of you should lighted up on him. His info IMO is more credible than you may think.

News bulletin - No one is right 100% of the time. Sorry, Husky Medic aside! LOL
Common Medic can I get a return LOL out of you.

Don't worry our play fast offense is going to make our RB's look faster than they really are!

The words Diaco is going to be fired were never typed by you. I believe the quote was "some people may get their wish on Jan 1st" which could have meant a new OC that some people wanted. Like medic said you give yourself wiggle room with vague comments.

Everyone knew what get your wish meant.

Chief is AD Dave?

Chief is AD Dave?

Could you imagine

 

[Exit 4]

Could you imagine

I posited recently on some other thread, tongue in check, that the Chief account is one that has been past on from Warde to DB.

 

[CL82]

Backbencher - rather criticize those in the arena but don't have the moxie to get in it yourself.

In the arena?

I am highly enjoying this thread. If nothing else, it has become entirely clear to me that Chief is not trolling after watching this meltdown. He's had some nice predictions, he has had some bad misses that he downplays or denys and he cares way to much about what other people think of him, but all in all, go Chief.

One question - do you really think the coaches ordered new stop watches? So silly. Say Randy mentioned the RB's being slower than a turtle - do you think the staff would purchase turtles to race against Arkeel?

I have 2 important questions:

#1 - Were all the other position groups re-tested after the new stop watches arrived? Or did the coaching staff rely on the original results ... and only re-test the RB's?? The coaches could potentially have some inaccurate data ...

#2 - How do you scientifically test a stop watch? Calibrate it against the amount of time it take a BY thread to derail??

The only way to know for sure is to order and install a cesium atom clock. I suggest that be the next order of business and all time keeping pieces be routinely checked, preferably daily. Heck, maybe the Rent's clock is slow too. Maybe we are in a space time distortion...which is possible given Diaco's orthogonal view of reality.

 

[Chief00]

Actually @whaler11 had you beat by a few weeks. You waffled.

God bless the BY search function and a solid memory of revisionist history attempts.

You are a strange but fun poster... Chief is just not always right or forthcoming. The cast of characters here is what makes the BY what it is and keeps us all coming back.

Huskymedic - you are really losing your sense of accuracy and fair play. I read the link you provided and Whaler11 put the odds at 10-20% - hardly a prediction Bob Diaco would be fired. But to Whaler 11 credit he was not saying Diaco would definitely be back like many did.

You really want to keep this mess going?

Your "waffle" (in the link provided) when challenged - how is it different from @whaler11?

Did you read my post? - I did not present as fact. I said I had not been able to confirm.

Let it die...

"Quite frankly, I have been on an amazing roll"

I think we've found someone who can compete with Diaco at selling snake oil.

Real snake oil, especially from rattlesnakes, is good stuff, rich in the long chain omega-3 fatty acid EPA. Perhaps the best source of EPA, but not easy to get. Many studies suggest that EPA can reduce inflammation, including from arthritis.

snake oil, good
Diaco, no good.

Huskymedic - While I did not have official confirmation - my postings were pretty clear Quite frankly, I thought of posting your posts about how wrong I was but thought better of it. Serves no purpose. You can't have it both ways - criticizing me for my prediction then afterwards when it comes true - say my post never happened.

Yeah if you want real major league snake oil; read all of Stairmaster's posts in my thread mocking me for predicting Diaco's dismissal.

That's basically Newsome. He doesn't have great top end speed but he gets up to speed very quickly.

Joe Morris was like that when the Giants won their first Superbowl. Quickness and acceleration is more important than 40 yard speed for a TB.

That's a really good comparison. They acceleration to the hole really well but then plateau after 15 -20 yards. But, that's a good job!
