The B12 (XII) Forum, home of the 'Front Porch, y'all' at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

It's always hokey to talk about, and coaches ramble about it, but until players are playing for each other, the program won't ever really get very far.
I've never played, but football seems like a rough game. Giving it max effort one more time, late in the game when you're already busted up, means finding a reason. If you don't care about your teammates, I think it'd be real easy to take that play off and hope somebody else handles business.
Texas used to have players tweeting about transferring during the game.

So the drill brings up the "cuttings" which end up next to the site?

Yeah. You can haul them off, or bury them on-site, or spread them around. Usually people opt for what’s cheapest. And here in sunshine Texas the grass will grow over them in 6 months and you can’t even tell anything was there. 

nope

Obliquely related, I enjoy watching building construction around here, start to finish, and there is a lot to watch.  A key early step is building a crane (or three) to hoist stuff up and down, and that requires a substantial crane base, which can require some drilling of a sort, though the ground here runs to granite pretty close to the surface.

They often just pound a piling down to some level of firmosity and build a crane base and then use a mobile crane to assemble the semipermanent crane.  Then they are off, they can put up a 30 story building in a  year and a half, start to finish.  My wife and I walk a lot and we'll stop at some site and often chat with some workers who aren't working.  They usually seem proud of their job and what's going on and like to brag, which is fine with me.

Quite near us is an older 20 something story building they are rehabbing completely.  They put up a crane on one side and are tearing out most of the innards.  Supposedly they are adding six stories and building "retail" around the base of it.  We hope the surroundings offer some nice street presence and restaurants etc., the place across the street did this with great success thus far.

By comparison, per the Font of All Wisdom and Knowledge, "The [102-story] Empire State Building was structurally completed on April 11, 1931, twelve days ahead of schedule and 410 days after construction commenced."

When we built our new chemical plant facility, at a cost of over $1 billion, we went from dirt to start-up in about two years.  Had thousands of people working on it daily.  It was quite impressive.  I was on the commissioning/startup team.
