re: Football Uniforms

Age and perspective are funny things. The term "throwback" made me laugh and realize how old school I am. For me, the DMAC unis are not throwback at all. They are our unis. Sure, we went through our fastpitch softball phase there for a few years, but now we're back to a uniform a real football team ...

I wonder if he explained to AU how they weren't performing well, or else he wouldn't be there :lol: I actually expect him to be reasonably successful there. All the systems and structures are already in place. Heck, even the offense is already in place and doesn't require a full overhaul. He can...

re: All these players decommiting

We were going to lose a lot of those recruits even if we kept Morris, not to mention more player transfers at the end of the year. The right coach will salvage some of these decommits, bring some of their commits along, and keep transfers to a minimum. We'll survive. Probably won't be a banner year ...

[quote]I'm honestly kind of surprised people point to Kentucky as the game this year that cemented their opinions on Morris and what he could do here. It was SJSU for me.

[quote]Are you referencing an article? Is that your opinion?[/quote] The main point (I think) was the dramatic transition Brandon made with good coaching, with which I can fully agree. Whether Brandon was the worst ever early in his career is just hyperbole. Man I will never forget Brandon vs ...
Is there an advantage to a player entering the portal now as opposed to waiting until the season is over? Genuinely curious... I don't fully understand the transfer rules....

Shout out to Ben Hicks

I thought he made some great passes after Starkel's injury. I also thought his scramble on 3rd and forever at the end of the game showed his toughness and put us in a position to convert on fourth down. He played really well....
I agree the potential is there. The pieces are in place at RB, TE, QB and WR, given some time to develop. Can the O-line step up? Can we correct the mental errors, dumb hole mistakes and poor play calling from Saturday? That stuff is hard to accept in year 2. The plays where Starkel nailed Knox a...

[quote]Arkansas led the country with 20 freshmen major contributors Petrinos first year. Chad is inheriting a situation more similar to what Nutt walked into that what Ford, Crowe, Petrino, or Bert walked into. Petrinos schedule his first year wasn't as easy as chad's and he was a blown call in the ...
As good of a coach as he was/is, Bobby Petrino went 5-7 here in his first year. How does the talent level of this team compare to the one Petrino inherited? Which coach will have had the easier schedule in that first year? I'm generally optimistic. I can see 7 potential wins and would be ecstatic...
Very true. I'm still not giving Larnach a 2-0 fastball to sit on. I would try a breaking ball over the inside part of the plate - even if he crushes it, it's most likely foul. Or maybe a fastball up (and out) of the zone to see if he'll bite. But I'm not grooving one. I'd rather start over with Rut...
When Cronin went 2-0 on Larnach, I was really hoping we would pitch around him, go off speed, try to get him to swing at something out of the zone instead of challenge him. That guy is a beast. Don't let him sit on a 2-0 fastball. In that situation, I'm only going after Larnach after he goes fish...
