@ilovetheoption Fantastic and funny. I've been walking Junior thru the basics for a couple decades now & despite my best efforts sometimes he doesn't understand. This is great for him. Can't wait to share.

You're right about that! Not sure I'd want to bring one home to Mom, but I would have sure wanted to bring one home back in the day.

The data looks pretty consistent with what we've seen from the play on the field. I'm really not surprised by our MD LB, he lost his starting job there and I was hoping it was an injury that set him back up there. I hope he proves me wrong now, it's 2 games in a new defensive system. Charlie...

You're kidding, right? The again maybe I've been missing something? I'm not as young as I used to be. That's a positive?

OK, beautiful for us or them? This has been a fairly revealing and informative thread. Thanks to @GaTech4ever for starting it.

I'll be there with wife in tow. Thankfully, I can't remember what happened more than 2 days ago because reading this board means I probably didn't have a very good time a week ago.

Sims & Gibbs and company are good for about 35pts. The question is does the rest of the team have 14 pts in them. I think so. Second question is does NIU score more than 10? I think this one's a 50-50 based on whether or not we have a sloppy fumble or ill advised pass that get picked & returned...

We also can't remember what people told us yesterday. I hope someone sends a gameday reminder about 0600 or so.

I'm not sure I've ever had a shirt made out of wool. I'll stick with a cotton t-shirt, it may be a Walmart type thing to do but I'm sure I'll be ok hanging out like a normal person for a day. I just can't see myself dressed in a long sleeve fancy button down on gameday like some snooty Engineer.

There is no way we're a worse football team than Duke or Syracuse. What is wrong with people?

We're going to be most improved in just about every category. People will look back to this year as the one where we turned the corner and never looked back.

I really don't understand all the fearfulness about playing NIU? Do we really have that many fans that lack confidence in our team to perform as expected? We'd had one really bad loss in the last 2 seasons, maybe 4 other bad losses if you count the VT shutout & Clemson and Dwag blowout games...

That's why I started with my first 2 points. Family is the #1 issue facing our country & #2 is safety. I'm not sure how you even set the conditions for success of a child if the home they're going to is all messed up and the neighborhood they're living in is unsafe to grow up in. Most families...

I've been following along and wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to comment, but there's some good ideas being provided. Here's my cut: The worst thing that can happen to a child is to be in a single parent family. There's a lot of data on it. I understand it's not a good thing to hang onto a...

6 of the last 16 years not coached by a guy named Gailey we had a high enough win percentage to win 9 games, 37%. 3 other times we were within 1 win of winning a high enough percentage, that would have boosted that 9 win attainment to 56%. You don't think that maybe, just maybe CGC has just...

It's tough for Engineers to not be rational, but it's also what limits most Engineers in life. Buy into the vision- CGC upgrades recruiting, with that comes more wins, with that comes better recruiting, with that comes more wins. Along the way we become a desirable option, one where we no longer...

Why is it we have so many fans that refuse to have an sort of optimistic outlook on our football program? Do you all think so little of the staff & all the highly rated recruits we have been getting? We hated Chan, then we hated Johnson, now Collins? C'mon, we've got the transfer portal plus a...

I'll take any bet you want to make about coming here to win.

Honestly, this is pretty funny. By the 2nd quarter the handwriting will be on the wall. The only way this game is close is if we come out completely undisciplined and Patenoude tries a bunch of weird plays. Not likely to happen after the Citadel debacle as him & Thacker are probably one more...

I should have read this post first. The next thread over I almost could not believe we have our own fans worrying about knocking off Northern Illinois.
