I made a lot of notes; I may or may not end up writing the up. But here are two thoughts: 1) PJ said something which I have to be reminded of every year. Had two plays per game gone differently in the last three games, we'd be 5-0. Last year we made the plays to win, this year we haven't...

I can't say I've seen it if it is. One of my preseason givens was that we would improve in that area. It was the one huge defensive problem last year. But we had both Freeman and Rook-Chungong a year more experienced. Whitehead possibly. Simmons coming along with a little more size and...

To answer the original question, it is just happenstance. There is no pattern. I was as perplexed in 1991 as I am now. I had the same sense of thinking for 10 months how great we were gonna be, then the season got underway. That summer the players were saying stuff like "last year we...

wew! I doubt that will last the week.

It seemed to me that his helmet did meet with a glancing blow, so by the rule the call is right. But there ought to be some wiggle room for the refs to decide if there was intent to injure or if the blow was serious or something like that. Kinda like they have two types of face mask penalty...

For once I noticed some of the same things live as Boomer talks about. The TO looked considerably crisper this week, although I still don't think Justin is running it quite as quickly as late last year. Skov has another issue besides not making cuts after he goes through the line, or so it...

I thought T Marshall was cleared to play. Never saw him. I think I heard in a different game that a player ejected for targetting has to sit the first half of the next game So do we have to play the first half at Clem without Adam? Please tell me that's wrong.

I hope there are no smallish but super quick linebackers for UNC. I don't want to see another Cash type this year.

Pessimism everywhere. Does anyone think we simply can't be as bad on offense as we looked in the last two weeks? That maybe some unusual set of circumstances led to the poor performance at South Bend and Durham? And that maybe playing in front of the home crowd against a lesser defense, we...

I think TaQuon to receiver is intriguing. In the few looks I've had with him, he looks to have a wide receiver body and catches the ball well. I think he could stretch field.

So we have left Lynch, Willis, Ta Quon, Lands-Davis. Who else?

I made the Duke point after the game, and Boomer said in his film analysis that body language of the Duke players conveyed they had more energy and played like they were glad to be out there. I think that is amounts to the same thing. The defense did indeed play a good game, but I think the...

I guess everyone who likes the show can find the broadcast, either live or replayed. Still, I made a few notes from last night so I might as well share. I missed the first ten minutes still hoping my idiot radio affiliate would switch to it. * We went bonkers at Notre Dame. The ND atmosphere...

Someone posted recently that we seem to have trouble with smaller, safety size linebackers. The thought was immediately dismissed and no one else commented. But I think there may be something to that. Cash was a prime example. That single player disrupted darn near everything we tried...

Agree. The questions were thoughtful too. No angry fuming, just sensible concern.

Thanks again, cheese. My local radio has screwed this up 3 of 4 weeks now, even after i called about it.

This same thing has come to me a dozen times since Saturday. It might be time for the captains to call a meeting and do some yellin' and hollerin' about focus and so on.

Well, okay, the thing which has been discussed is missed assignments, not efforts. But what about efforts? I wonder what that number would look like. More than one person noted that Duke looked to be playing at a higher energy level than our guys.

I like Jayson's point that teams are deciding that they would rather give up a few yards in the middle to make sure they don't give up big yards on the edge. Somehow or another they are getting pursuit to the edge faster than we can get there. I also like Boomer's point that the talent is...

I think this is probably it. I have listened to almost all of them, and thinking about PJ and the audience and how the show goes and everything, this just seems right.
