My guess is Groce and Tod K. I can't see Tod giving Groce much credit for anything. Their post-game hand shakes are quite brief.

PFF has updated their stats following the week 8 game. I admit was critical of Laventure because of his size (6'1 270) but he has proven me wrong week in and week out this is one guy that Leonard got right, in my opinion one of the very few, but Laventure is crushing it.... PFF today has him rated 82 in ALL OF FBS AND FCS out of 902 interior defensemen with a rating of 77.1 and 442 snaps. That is incredible. Dall climbed up and is now ranked 205 out of 846 with a rating of 73.9. He has consistently been in the top quarter of all FBS and FCS again very consistent. The rest of the D line though leaves much to be desired and a lot of questions in my opinion. The edge rushers have a total of 7 sacks and that is very misleading. Durham had 2 against Central Michigan and Dall had 2 against Duquesne. And they only have 11 QBH's combined. Nothing from any edge rusher other than Durham and Dall. Durham is now 726 out of 846 with a below average rating of 59.8. Yet he has more snaps than any edge in all of FBS and third in all of Division 1. His stats don't justify it. He isn't that good. The Frazier twins are worse. D. Frazier is 839 out of 846 and has a rating of 51.5 and j.Frazier is 55.7. They each of one solo tackle. Just by playing in 8 games you could have a solo tackle. Where is Cheatom (17 snaps week 1)??? Where is Duncan (8 snaps week 1 and 2), Brown (15 snaps week 5), Murphy (11 snaps week 2 and 4) Watkins and Kavals were both highly recruited out of high school there are four games left are we going to see them? It is almost mathematically impossible for them to be worse than the Fraziers. The Fraziers are not edge rushers, they are linebackers anyone can see that. They are athletic freaks and should be playing linebacker. Laventure has 3 sacks and 5 qbh's tied for second on the team with Durham. Laventure, Dall, and Durham are the only D Linemen with sacks and with the exception of 2 qbhs by Hull and 1 by Kaiwan Murphy, Laventure, Dall, and Durham are the only ones with any QBH's ! Laventure, Dall, Durham TFL's 20; Sacks 10, QBH's 15 - The rest of the entire defensive line combined - TFL's 1.5; Sacks 0, QBH's 3... Laventure, Hull, Murphy, and Mixon are pretty much the only four interior defensive linemen that play. Rankings, 82, 511, 714, 841; what happened to Madden he is a redshirt senior and has played 15 snaps, Vega has played 3; Brown-Demery is 6'5 320 depending on what you look at he can't go in on specific plays and get pressure?

James Madison chosen as pre-season favorite in the Sun Belt- https://sunbeltsports.org/news/2025/10/20/james-madison-tabbed-2025-26-sun-belt-mens-basketball-favorite-odus-davis-named-preseason-player-of-the-year.aspx Oddly, they received only one first place vote and 8 teams received a first place vote. That shows you the uncertainly that comes in the age of player mobility.

I didn't copy the link from the post but I saw on Twitter earlier that Enrique has made the opening night roster for the T-Wolves as one of their 3 two-way players. And he's wearing the #25 jersey.

You're right. And we finally have a tip time (7PM) and network (ESPN+).

Kind of surprised they are again. Not complaining though.

I failed to appreciate that Keiryn McGuff is now a Zip! She played 2 seasons at Bowling Green where she played sparingly. However, the most interesting part of the story is her family bio. Her father is Ohio State head coach Kevin McGuff.

Akron back into the coaches poll top 25, coming on at #23. https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/

Excellent - it looked pretty scary. 👍
