Sorry but I haven't been on the board much this season. Do people really still claim that the 3O is the root of the current problems with the team and program? that's something people still debate on here?

Isn't the voting for these awards completed prior to the postseason? If so, then I can understand leaving Snitker and AA off as the Braves were viewed as a team hit with an injury bug that got lucky with some trades and got hot at the right time to take advantage of a middling NL East, but...

Touché. To be fair though, comparing interception totals without disclosing that Manning had 122 more pass attempts (~33%) is just as much of a "gotcha."

Not a shot at you or Sims, just trying to show what a poor metric passer rating is to base any conclusions on. There's a reason no one really uses it at the college level and the NFL is steadily moving away from it in favor of newer metrics. It also doesn't account for the changing nature of...

Also interesting: Jaybo Shaw, Synjyn Days, Tim Byerly, Tate Martell, and Ryan Perriloux, among others, also all have a higher career passer rating than Peyton Manning.

While I agree that there has been improvement, total yards and points is a terrible to measure it, like pitcher wins or batting average in baseball. Other metrics like PPD, FEI, or even offensive and defensive efficiency would be more useful. I'm not quite the stathead like some on here are...

I get that part, what I'm not sure about is which opponent you were deeming "one of the top defenses in the nation." Clemson or UGA? The fact of the matter is GT and Clemson have played comparable schedules, each have a I-AA victory and each have played a really tough defense. In fact, I'd...

Not sure if you're referring to GT playing Clemson's defense or Clemson playing UGA's?

This. Coaching acumen is completely independent of talent level or scheme transition excuses. In fact, it shows up best when the team has few, if any, other advantages over an opponent. For CGC, it simply hasn't shown up at all. Setting aside anything about the transition, many of us have had...

Not a "new" Pro Jacket, but longtime vet Buck Farmer released after 8 years with the Tigers. Was rounding into decent form after a rough start to the year. Hope he catches on somewhere else. https://motorcitybengals.com/2021/08/18/detroit-tigers-buck-farmer-era/

Good points, but I don't believe anyone is arguing the rules have been too restrictive from the outset. They served their purpose at the height of the pandemic through this past spring. However, other than baseball, the only other sports that people pay enough attention to care about ended in...

I read the "may" there as referring to the possibility of testing vaxxed players when there is community spread as detailed later on in the protocol, not that the NCAA has carte blanche to test whomever and whenever they want. If that is the case, then the exception swallows the rule and makes...

The bolded is where the rub seems to lie with many NCSU folks. The protocols in place permitted testing of unvaccinated players. Testing of vaccinated players would only occur when there was evidence of "substantial or high transmission in the community," a definition which linked to CDC...

I don’t fully understand this comment. You don’t give up individual rights when you join a team or any other organization. And a state-sponsored university should not be able to force you to do anything in contravention of those rights. I’m with Avent on this one. I’ll stop there to avoid...

Vaccination is a personal choice and I will defend anyone's right to refuse it even if I don't agree with it personally. It would bother me more if NC State had forced players to be vaccinated. What's unforgivable to me is that we're still operating under these same ridiculous tracing...

I thought I read all week that a team could still play as long has they had 5 eligible players. Does VCU only have 7 dudes on the roster? Or does contract tracing rule out the whole team? The latter would seemingly make the rule pointless. As in, any positive test since arriving in Indy would...

13-1 resulted in 15-0 in second chance points. Too hang in as long as this team did when they were so outmatched on the boards is a testament to their tenacity and toughness. What a great squad and so fun to watch!

More turnovers than assists. Only happened three times all year (GSU, FSU, and Clem). Just shows what an important cog Moses was to the offense as a whole.

Per the article starting on page 8 of the link below, it's Barenburg HGT Bluegrass. Not sure if that's what you're looking for as I'm not a turfgrass guy in any way, shape, or form. SportsField Management - October 2020
