I'm seeing what I considering to be a beam of light...almost as if you're opening your mind a bit here. I appreciate that. Yet, we're still not on the same page when it comes to Ensminger. A new offensive scheme might work as an explanation of there was a wholesale change. There isn't. It's two things; spreading the team out and operating at a faster pace. The first of those two are schemes very often found in high school. A no-huddle offense is a bit different. it relies heavily on the play caller and the development of the quarterback. With Ensminger we've already seen what he can do with a fast paced and spread offense combined. He failed. He was fired (and hell, Tubs hardly fired anyone.) With no semblance of success on his resume he was once again put in a place to run this type of offense. That's been my point all along. Based on his history, his coaching acumen (which is well known throughout the SE) he was, and still is, over his head. Before the season started I wagered LSU wouldn't break eight. I lost that money. However, I don't consider the two additional wins to be of great significance. In fact, I went as far as to point out how and why I may be wrong before last season kicked off. One thing I mentioned? What did we know about Miami. LSU ranked at #25 and beating Miami (ranked #8 in the preseason) did wonders for the rankings. By week two LSU is up to #11 and Miami is down to somewhere in the 20's. I also mentioned that while I didn't think UGA would lose on the road (and pointed out how well they had done both straight up and against the spread in previous years) I also mentioned UGA is good for a screw up or two every year. History reflects such. It was a great win for LSU in terms of those rankings. Yet, I believe you'll agree, seeing UGA drop a game like that is par for the course. On the other hand, the loss to Florida raised a lot of questions. In fact, the whole season, in retrospect, still has a lot of questions. A nine win regular season is better than eight, no doubt. Is it an overachievement? It's one game better than Mississippi State. A state I wouldn't think of a program being on sound footing if it just accomplished such. It's more of a case of a team still trying to find itself. (From what/where I've kept track, LSU opened at O/U 9 and has since been bet down to 8½...I'll have to look at this in more detail but at a quick glance I'm seeing six wins for sure with close to the same number of toss-ups. I'm really close to calling that seven for sure with TX.)
Don? It's not the software you should be using, it's using the software in place already (like the multi-quote.) When you embedded that reply earlier within the quote it makes it difficult for anyone to respond without heavy editing (a pain in the butt when one is mobile.)
You have it backwards. 100 meters is longer than 100 yards. One meter is 39.7 inches while 1 yard is 36 inches. There were lots of guys who ran 100 yards faster than 9.7, even high school sprinters. I don't know if it is still the record but Bob Hayes ran 100 yards in 9.1. Usain Bolt's 100 meter record is 9.58. I don't know which is faster. Could Bob Hayes have run 100 meters faster than 9.58? Could Usain Bolt run 100 yards faster than 9.1?
Ivory Crockett set the 100yard record at 9.0 in 1974. It was manually timed so I’m not sure it’s still recognized. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory_Crockett On a side note Al Coffee (Lee High/LSU) beat him in high school at the 1968 Golden West invitational a meet for the best HS track and field athletes.
