Great question. Seems disgraceful. I'm not knowledgeable about these things but would guess that ESPN expects greater viewership for the Orange Bowl on Friday night 8pm rather than showing it on Saturday at 11am... Just goes to show you who really runs college sports.

Most fans (like me) don't understand the whole "Tier 1" or "Tier 2" bowl game hierarchy, but we do think that New Year's Eve Day Bowls are a big deal. There are only four bowl games on New Year's Eve (a Saturday this year) and two of those are for the NCAA Championship playoffs: Buffalo Wild...

Fascinating stuff. Thanks for the link. The discussion there sounds just like our discussion here about "scheme." Interestingly, I found this buried deep in the comments: "An example of the David side of aggressive defense is Jon Tenuta's Georgia Tech defenses--a bunch of small, barely...

I was at the game and watched Ga Southern put up 300 yards rushing on #3 ranked, eventual national champion Bama. Bama won 45-21 but it was 24-14 at half and the home crowd was shocked at how well GaSouthern was able to run the ball. If this link works, scroll to the :55sec mark:

Good stuff! Thanks for the breakdown.

Boomer, You're probably right. Seriously, I know you're probably right, but it's not what I want! I want us to force the play! By playing reactionarilly (my newly created word), I'm not convinced that we won't get beaten anyway---especially when giving them so much time and space. Or, worse...

I'm not in the camp that suggests we fire Roof, but I would like to see some scheme changes. I'd prefer we abandon the "bend" approach and create an identity of playing fast and aggressive. Counting on your opponent to succumb to their own demise is not a winner's mentality. Yellow Jackets are...

".....What was missing, in order for me to feel more encouraged was a greater number of negative plays to stop drives, a TO or two, and a couple more stops on 3rd down. We created a lot of third downs, we just needed to stop a couple more. We played to contain, not to dominate...." Boomer, as...

Yes. I use the app for all games and this week seemed to have some issues. I was at the Bama game (I know, I know...but my son is in the marching band there) and I could barely hear the Tech game with my ear buds. Might have been my reception, but it also seemed to cut out a few times too. Hope...

FWIW, Last year WKU was 12-2, undefeated 8-0 Conf-USA champions, and won their bowl game. If I recall correctly, they finished in the top 25.

Take the name "Mercer" and "FCS" out of the equation. Regardless of who the opponent was (it could even be against a top 10 FBS team), if you told me our D.... Failed to get a 3 & out the entire game, allowed 11/20 3rd & 4th down conversions, gave up a 17-play, 8 minute drive to start the 3rd...

I thought Sewak's response was just fine. The type & tone of the questions..not so much.

I think CPJ will want to see as much film on the 1s and 2s as he can, leaving them in the game longer than Mercer will appreciate, so I'm looking for a big score. I don't think we'll see the bench clearing until late in the game---maybe 4th quarter. Result is we score over 50, they score less...

Over

Tennessee had 4 "good losses" last year so they entered the season ranked #9. Unbelievable.

Except for not making changes on the punting team, I like our new ST coach...! Kidding, of course.

Just an observation. No commentary from me.

App State sporting Nike gear...

My sentiments exactly! I've watched these threads talk about scheduling tougher opponents and I just don't get it; I don't buy the theory of "good losses." If you finish with only 0, 1, or even 2 losses, then you're in the discussion. Let's do that before we schedule someone we might actually...
