How bad was our offensive line this past year you might ask? 108th in the country. Jacob Brammer had the highest grade with 69.4. Our center had a 19.2 grade. That's horrible and one of the main reasons Mason was running for his life.

Meh. 

Wouldn't look too much into grading linemen. 

1623 yards on 396 attempts = 4.1 ypc. 

26 sacks given up for a -178 yards. 2.1 per game. 

The offensive line by no means stellar, but I take 0 stock on some Joe blow 'grading' them out individually as a unit failure/success. 

I get that Mason Fine will live in lore around here, but some fault has to be laid at his feet (like a lot of his centers snaps; which was a bigger issue than maybe anything else in regards to the OL).

PFF provides data to 70 CFB teams and draft analysis to NFL teams. However, anyone with a brain could tell you that our OL and DL were bad this year.

Our center having such a low score had to not only do with the constant pressure in Mason’s face, but also the timing that was continually thrown off by this horrifically low snaps. If Mason was 6’4”, he would’ve have 30 snaps side behind him.

Whether some Joe Blow graded them or not, it was obvious to anyone paying attention that our line was horrible.   They were often beat by 3 rushers and could not be counted on to get a critical 1 yard conversion.

Brammer being graded out as the highest-rated OL is problematic of either 1 of 2 things:
1. Our OL was way worse overall than I thought.
2. The person doing the grading was having a stroke while dwelling on UNT's OL.

The stats are the stats. I put my trust in those as far as grading them out. 

By the mythical eye test, yeah, they were awful at times. But the stats are still what they are.

      1977 interview with Bill Blakeley

      If somebody here knows where I can buy a vintage dress shirt exactly like the one Bill Blakeley is wearing, please post the link here. Love the crowd at the Super Pit for the SMU game. Wow! Looks like pack the Pit night worked back then.

      I seem to recall…

      Why not pick a player and have him do a promotion for a business or a non-profit or a specific group like animal rescue. That way, the player gets the money and the non-profit or business gets done exposure as well. Isn’t that what NIL was originally intended to do ?

      I haven't acted on this to this point but was inspired by @SUMG 's suggestion. I am considering donating to sport specific NIL's that would allow me to designate any money donated to players in sports that aren't getting a full ride scholarship. Not thinking of or excluding walk on players but instead partial scholarship players. Not directly related but see the attached blog that discusses proposed increases in scholarship and roster limits across the NCAA sport spectrum, starting in the 2025-26 school year. Not sure how NT will respond if these proposals are adopted but it would most obviously affect Olympic sport rosters at universities that don't increase their scholarship limits, NIL or not.

      That is just naivety on your part... The most ridiculous thing I ever read from people that were for NIL before it was initiated was hearing/reading people (on here and nationally) literally claiming they can't even afford toothpaste to brush their teeth. People fell for that and the like. It was ALWAYS about trying to get what people deemed to be from lower socioeconomic backgrounds (black kids) money. Or is honesty still taboo? Nevertheless, the attorneys were for it because it gave them cases. The sports media was for it because it gave them stories. The sports industry was for it because it gave them business. The minority of fans that were for it, the people who largely fund this garbage, are wholesale not for it any longer. But now, it's bigger than even them.

      Great NIL take from Sark

      That strikes me as an odd grouping. Thanks for the article. It clears up a lot of things for me. Although I don't think this case will resolve much.
