For the love of God, don’t tell anyone we’ve got ‘em either!! Need to keep these guys around the program so we can build something!

Maybe… but all the help we need on D, let’s keep him there. Also, am I imagining it or does he have some oversized shoulder pads and a neck roll (circa 1988)? Dude looks like a monster.

Good Lord… this is obviously not news to me but to see in writing again that this was our backfield… SMH

Yup! Bad juju all over this thread! Renounce your pre-predictions and sing 2023 Ramblin’ Wrecks as penance. Do it now! This stuff is fo REEEEAAL! You may carry on with roll call…

Well, they haven’t made any mistakes all year… So that obviously means they’ve saved them all up for this weekend. (y)

We actually weathered the storm on the fumble, but then went three and out and had an awful punt coverage lapse… But to your point, if either of those offensive drives go somewhere, it really never gets close. Granted, Cuse gets some credit for those things too…

I mostly agree with this, but I welcome the smack talk and crap they spew. I have several friends and neighbors who are Dwags and I get crap from them all the time. The day the crap stops is the day we’ve become truly irrelevant. Take it, laugh at it, give it back.

At least we won’t get stuck with long term contract!

I didnt notice any yapping prior to or as a result of that play. Defender met 11 at the 2 yard line and Haynes ran through him and popped his helmet off. No jawing, nothing chippy, just good hard run. There was a TD by Cuse where a couple of blocks got out of hand and there must’ve been some...

Knocking the hat off the defender as he crossed the goal line was a beautiful cherry on top!

This feels like a case of a guy who did a masterful job of crisis management and on the surface you ask how you can punish it…. Then you dig deeper to see that the crisis was of his own making. Crisis management is a great skill, but you can’t plan to be in crisis all the time. Injury bug...

This is an extremely shrewd observation. I’d venture this holds true for roughly 99.9% of the populace. (y)

I think you’re on to something. The severity of the indiscretion is a distant secondary consideration. The real issue is if someone wants a shake up in the staff / leadership. The issue can be amplified, or even manufactured, to that end. When these big athletic departments are collectively...

No doubt… and a fraction of a second sooner, the defender has his shoulder in the middle back of the receiver. This replay is pretty damning, but it is such a bang / bang play. Honestly, I don’t think the “intentional” dirty shots happen anywhere near as regularly as they used to. These guys...

However… targeting. :oops:

Disagree. Did not initiate contact with helmet. Did not contact to head. Did not launch. Runner was not defenseless. Not a target, even today.

I think it’s a fallacy perpetuated by many sports fans and even some coaches that you can be your “best” week in and week out. You can’t. That’s the goal, but it’s extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible. You can put in the effort and the prep and still have mental lapses and ups and...

I first read 29 OFFENSIVE rebounds too…. Which was truly offensive. :D Thanks for clarifying. Odd terminology saying that we “gave up” 29 defensive boards. That’s much more an indicator of poor shooting (and poor shot selection) than anything else. But I would rather be missing shots than...

Agree… I have seen some coaches do some strange things in their “wooing” of recruits too. I’m all for targeting the guy who can take over a game but the really successful programs get that guy (or guys) and play within a team framework. We talk a lot about winning one on ones and that’s...
