    Watched the fights tonight.  

     

    Machado is a talented guy; he won his fight easily and it probably should have been stopped at some point.

     

     

     

    Yea he is fast and explosive... had sloppy footwork and spotty D after his last fight but the 9 months off looked like they helped 

     

    Maybe he gets Gervonta next

    Bulls have 14 starters coming back of a .500 team...  They get  cupcake week 1 with Delaware State, then face a tough Temple team on the road.

     

    -Thing is, they're terrible on the road, so week 2 will be their first real test.

     

     

     

    I wouldn’t say they are terrible on the road lol 

     

    its always tougher to play on the road... lost  to Minnesota by only 10 on the road... was beating army all game and ended up barely losing 

     

     

    Lost to akron by 1... a few plays here and there and they are different outcomes 

     

    he also were down to their 3 string QB for 2 ganes

     

  3. My friend is a trainer for world champion Alberto Machado and has been with him since day 1

     

    He is now in camp with Freddie Roach and this has been his kid for 10+ years

     

    Always Told me he would be a world champion and now he is... he is defending rn on HBO boxing

     

    he is a great guy

    Interesting, I expected the opposite with offense/defense... Big 12 stereotype I guess

    How are they against the run? 

     

    Top 5 last year and always pretty stout... they practice a lot for triple option , read options because they run a 4-2-5 which would look susceptible 

     

    Patterson is a defensive guru

    Anyone follow this program? I’m trying to determine threat level for week 3 and can’t get a good feel from what I’ve read. I really don’t watch a lot of big 12. I know they’ve been really good recently but not sure what they have currently....

     

    They are a defensive program.

     

    They run a hybrid defense which has given teams fits for the last 15+ years no matter the mountain west or Big 12

     

    if you can move the ball on them , you can win because they will not be an offensive powerhouse 

     

    (What’s confusing about that? I haven’t watched TCU religiously in a few years but they were always a defensive powerhouse. Top 25 defensive team

     

    46 ranked offense last year... top 20 defense... that’s typical TCU

    The first G3 was Satch, Vai, and Eric Johnson.

     

    Kenny Wayne Shepherd is great...but he was so heavily influenced by SRV that after Ledbetter Heights I basically told myself "I can just listen to SRV albums instead," and kind-of lost interest.  

     

    Yea you can tell SRV really influenced him 

     

    but he also influenced a bunch of other artists as well

    I wasn't being critical--I like that 41 is young! I was just saying that he's not likely to find himself as the lead guitar in a happening band at age 41. He can certainly tour, and maybe be a guitarist for an established band. But for whatever reason, he's one of those guys who never broke through to that next level despite having all the talent in the world. Music is tough like that--I have known some unreal talented people and bands that went nowhere but local/regional. 

     

    Definitely and it get what your saying I don’t think you were critical ...

     

    but he also doenst want to be in an established band... he wants to be the front of Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

     

    Thats his band for 20+ years, he isn’t leaving 

     

    I would say 4 platinum albums and being worth millions of dollars is established as an artist... just not joe Walsh level

    He's your classic touring, working musician who can fill a 1,500 seat venue all day long, but that's kind of it.

     

    He's the sort of act that plays at Wolf Trap in the DC area or WNY's Art Park.

     

    The same crowd who would go see him (myself included) would go see Jeff Beck's current touring show, which is fantastic.


    But he isn't going to fill an 18,000 seat auditorium.

     

     

     

    There was certainly 10,000 + last night. Probably 15k

    At 41, he’s not young. But he is great. 

     

    Eddie needed his brother to manage him and VH had an awesome supporting cast. 

     

    Any of thhe G3 guitarists over the years had all the talent in the world but elected to do their solo thing or just couldn’t work in a band setting. 

    41 compared to all the other acts around him is pretty young 

     

    If he wants he can have 20+ years of rocking and his band was phenomenal 

     

    He isn’t old if that’s worded better lol

    Did the same thing 3 years ago.  I said to my wife and kids that he's as talented as Eddie on the guitar, but for various reasons had nowhere near the success, i.e. it takes more than talent alone.

     

    Yea he’s still a young guy and his style (southern rock/blues rock) isn’t exactly super popular these days 

     

    but he does have 4 platinum albums and a gold and is still super successful

    :lol: what’s really weird is that before 9/11 when crossing the border really was not that big of a deal the countries really did not seem to be separated.  Now, while getting across the border remains relatively uneventful it is more significant.  It really feels like you are crossing into a foreign country.  

     

    Yep yep I agree

     

    Being near one of the largest crossings at Niagara Falls it definitely isn’t as quick and streamlined like it used to be

     

    (and the dude has it completely wrong... the only things that make Buffalonians Canadian are Labatts and Hockey, eh)
