Idle Thoughts that are also probably inane

As I sit here Jonesing for Texas football - I used the time to reflect on some observations from the first 4 games:

Even though the performance was during "garbage time" does Garret Gilbert seem freakishly good for a true freshman?
Would Darrel Scott be a big disappointment in Burnt Orange or are his problems more the way Colorado uses him?
Speaking of Jonesing - is Eddie Jones the best 3rd DE in the history of the Big XII? Seems he is everywhere when he plays.
Does anyone share the paranoia that the ineligibility of Collins and Scott will have a major impact on the season?
If you are down on Colt - have you seen any Big 10 football this year? Faith restored.
If Marquis Goodwin started on the North goal line and DJ Monroe on the south - and they sprint to the other end - what yard line would they intersect on? I say the 49.
Where do we get more Achos?
Did Bruce Matthews have a point about our OL coaching and scheme?
With all those weapons on offense, can GD really screw it up in the long term?
If you had to have one unit stronger than the other - wouldn't it be better if it was the defensive side? Speed, aggressiveness, hostility more dependable than timing, wet footballs, and handoffs.

From that page:

The Large Hadron Collider

I completely misread that the first time.

I suppose not.

Speaking of such slips, have you seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss8LDBNcsWc

Completely agree with #1. GG has shown really good poise and more impressively the ability to make some of the most difficult throws with pin point accuracy that really speaks volumes to his readiness to play at this level.

I remember 1 play from the game against UTEP where GG hit his receiver (not sure who but I’m guessing its Goodwin) on a intermediate to deep out route. To me, that is one of the most difficult throws to make since it requires great arm strength, pin-point accuracy and perfect timing to hit the receiver just as he is coming of his cut.

GG did this perfectly and showed me everything I needed to know about him. We truly are blessed to have such depth at this position. “Mr. February” doesn’t sound that bad of a moniker now does it?

With the kind of defense we have returning next year and the fact that we’re like 10 deep at both WR and RB (obviously an exaggeration) means I see us making a legitimate run at the MNC next year as well.
