    Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    You had an abacus? We used to DREAM of having an abacus. We had to count rocks, and we were glad to get them.

    We need to jump ship

    lol Right now, we're cannon fodder for just about everyone...regardless of what navy they belong to (looking at you NIU). I understand that this would not be easy. The question is: would it be in our best interest in the long run? I'm not saying we need to form a new division of the Ivy...

    2022 Schedule??

    We're a bus ride away from a lot of teams which are out of our league. We're SURROUNDED by larger schools with bigger stadiums and more non-STEM majors.

    We need to jump ship

    I think we are actually discussing joining another Navy.

    There are very good reasons for weight classifications in boxing. Middleweights don't often fare well in the ring against heavyweights.

    Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    No. All goodwill (and then some) has been used up. I'm a "glass half full" kind of person, but I also consider myself to be a realist. Here's my week by week break-down of next season (forgive the formatting problem; apparently the forum doesn't like tabs or spaces): Week # Record 1...

    Collins on Packer & Durham

    LeBron loves Cleveland. But he also wanted a ring. Winning matters.

    Transfer Portal: Who's Coming and Going (2022 Roster)

    Ever see the movie "One on One" with Robbie Benson? Coaches can make life miserable for players they don't want around, can't they?

    Thoughts on the Portal

    Look at how the English football clubs move up and down the ladder. This is the model I would favor.

    Thoughts on the Portal

    The one-and-dones have been a disaster for college basketball, IMO. Remember watching a slow, sleepy-eyed kid from Oklahoma and a tall, skinny kid from the Bronx develop over four years into a top contender for the National Championship. If not for an uncharacteristically bad shooting night from...

    Thoughts on the Portal

    Yep. Which is totally okay if the kid has the talent to play in the bigs. He SHOULD move up. We aren't likely to be in that category again on a consistent basis. We'll have an occasional breakthrough season here and there, sure, but I don't expect us to be in the CFP discussion year after year.

    Thoughts on the Portal

    A 3-star high school senior attracts attention from a bunch of schools and receives offers from several including Tech and Alabama. Which one does he accept? Yeah, Bama. Who wouldn't? The thing is, Bama is loaded with 4- and 5-star players, and after his first year, the kid has barely seen the...

    Offense vs. Defense. Who wins?

    Team A has the #1 offense and the #2 defense in the country. Team B has the #1 defense and the #2 offense in the country. Who wins and why? Okay, here's the thing: in chess, the first player to move, White, has the advantage, and among equal players, white usually wins. Moving first is an...

    Why punt? Ever.

    Sounds like Presbyterian had bigger problems than not punting.

    Why punt? Ever.

    Just because you never punt, it doesn't mean you don't kick field goals. You're trying to gain yards or score TD's on first, second or third down. On fourth down, you're either going for yards or kicking a field goal. If you have a kicker who can consistently nail 50-yarders, then once your...

    Why punt? Ever.

    It's the off-season, so what the hey. If you never punt, you have four downs to get 10 yards. If you never punt, your play-calling changes. If you never punt, and you're deep in your own territory, your offense is highly motivated to convert that fourth down. If you never punt, you will convert...
