The Citadel managed to lose to VMI today. First time since 2002. VMI held them to 21 points.

Your outdated reference to "3rd down" has been reported to the appropriate authorities. "Money down" is the proper phrase per New Regime Newspeak.

Alagold commented about NIU, a new opponent for the 2021 schedule. In turn, I commented that NIU would be no problem, but that we should instead be concerned about a different 2021 opponent, and why. Glad to help.

Nah, we'll have a class filled with 4-star recruits in by then, maybe two. Probably in addition to a handful of grad transfers looking to experience the 404culture. Nothing to worry about. The real concern for 2021 is, of course, Kennesaw State and that high school offense of theirs; by 2021...

Injuries are no excuse. Whatsoever. Didn't we learn that from the 2015 season? Also, the three now lost to season-ending injuries really don't matter very much, right? They were CPJ recruits, after all. Good heavens, CPJ "stole" Lee from Louisiana-Monroe or some such lower-tier program. No...

Louisville "held" Tech to 12 yards passing last year. Shoot, Virginia Tech held Tech to zero yards passing last year. ;) Just a couple of boring victories, of course.

Yes I can imagine that. At this point, fans would be wondering, "Why didn't we punt on 2nd down? "

That's disappointing. My cable company carries FSN. ~sigh~

Might have to dress up the idea a bit. How 'bout the #4o4cultureboot ? Our sideline dance team coordinator could scheme up something to go with it!

This sleep mask would be perfect for watching the game:

It's back to future! Bobby Dodd exploited it. (Most importantly, of course, Paul Johnson never did it, hence it must be worthwhile to contemplate.) We have a tremendous punter (who would have to learn how to pretend to look like a running back, to sell this; perhaps he could be "hidden"...

Whoever did the edits for the Collins entry forgot to mention that Waffle House has politely asked him to consider the fare at Huddle House.

I remember that. I also remember Clemson being up 42-7. Then 42-14. Then 42-21. At that point, Dabo pulled most reserves, put in his starters, got another TD, that was it. But Tech never quit, and kept playing hard; that showed me something. By no means was Tech great last year, but it...

You have committed wrongthink and will be reported to the authorities. All hail the new regime.

Bright spot? The ACC Network still has not been picked up by several cable companies.

Brights spots for this weekend? Here's a sampler: Samford gave up 55 points to The Citadel today, while Tech held 'em to only 27 points two weeks ago. (OTOH, Samford won, but -- details, details.) USF scored 21 points against SMU today; Tech held the Bulls to only 10 points! (Of course, SMU...

Last year, during their first-half "upset tie" with Alabama, a Citadel slotback had a nice 40 yard TD run. Soon thereafter, the Citadel social media guy tweeted a clip of the play, with a message: "See, SEC, it's not that hard." (I believe 5 or so SEC opponents to that point in the season had...

Buffalo defeated Temple last season, 36-29; Buffalo was a solid MAC squad last year, went 10-4. However, last season Buffalo did lose to Army and its high school offense, 13-42.

A successful season? The hiring of Matt Canada as new OC on December 2nd.

And I wonder if Collins would invoke the quote attributed to coach John McKay, when McKay allegedly was asked about the hapless Tampa Bay Buccaneers' "execution" in their expansion year. (Not that he should; last week's result was very much a complete team "effort" -- coaching staff as well as...
