Re: Hunter sez's

JMU knew they were losing their coach. They had no interest in Hunter. Absolutely none. They're in an interesting situation with both the President and the AD having announced leaving JMU and retiring, respectively. And now they have to hire a basketball coach who won't know who is bosses will be.

Re: Another NFL woke rule

I thought this was another sissy rule until I heard it explained on the NFL network on SiriusXM. They're talking about the tackles where the defender grabs the hip and throws their weight on the lower body. This type of tackle doesn't happen that often and is typically done by a DB on an RB when he'...

Re: Tulane in the new Metro 8

UTSA also announces ticket sales like most other programs. I know the Alamodome looked like there were plenty of good seats available whenever I’ve seen them play. The lower bowl was about 1/4 full. And I also know their tv ratings, for a program that’s won so many games the past few years, suck. Th...

Re: Spring Practice-2024

What Newman thinks as “pimping” Mensah or Thompson is any comment that is complementary of either one. He takes those as insults to his boy Kai. I know I don’t really care which one wins, so long as whoever wins is successful. But the shit we’ve had thrown at us by Newman since Kai got on campus mak...

Hunter will never schedule an OOC game that we couldn’t win. They opened the season crushing Sparty in East Lansing and closed it getting the crap beat out of them by a Duke team that played it’s best game in the Scheyer era.

Re: JMU vs Tulane (Football)

I had to google who JMU was. And then, I only recalled who they were because of how well they played football last season. I'm not saying we shouldn't schedule them, I just feel there are other schools closer with better name recognition with the same/more benefits of playing JMU. They’ve won multi...

Re: JMU vs Tulane (Football)

Zero benefit? How about selling out Yulman? How about improving the quality of our schedule? I’m hearing a lot of lousy excuses to not play a team we might have a tough time beating. I know there were years before they were FBS they would have schooled us. I personally think we’ll be better faster w...

Re: JMU vs Tulane (Football)

We play 4 OOC games/year. 2024 will be the first time I can remember playing 2 against a Pee program. We’ve played other SBC teams, why not the best? The risk is losing, and if we don’t want to play them for fear of losing, we’re saying we’re chickenshit. I don’t buy that.

Re: Tulane in the new Metro 8

I'm sorry, 'nut, but despite the population of San Antonio, UTSA is not getting into a PEE the next go-round. There's really not a lot more that UTSA offers other than a big TV market of viewers who are mostly disinterested in UTSA athletics. I know you love your Texas Schools but the rest of the co...

Like about throwing deep two quarterbacks that can hum it down field, question is time to throw. a good coach that mixes it up with play action, screens can give any quarterback time to throw and make a weak line look strong by confusing the defense rush. Having Ty as our starter will solve so many...

Re: NCAA gets a request to eliminate mid-majors auto bids.

Ironically enough, MSU opened the season at home to one of those mid-majors. They opened with a loss to James Madison, who enters the tournament tied with UConn for the most wins in D1 at 31.

Re: Hunter sez's

Hunter needs to go. There's a good article in today's The Athletic about Will Wade, who many here want to be the next coach. I don't know that we can compete with some of the offers he's likely to receive, or that the BOA would consider him. But you will want to read it if you're a Will Wade fan.
