Would love for these refs to swallow the whistle a bit. That was textbook straight up defense by Tribble.

Tavari with the 3 in transition. Beautiful!

FREEMAN FOR 3!

Solid first half. Weathered the storm of HAVOC Jr. and found our footing. FIU is a solid team - would love to finish this out and come away with the W.

Pass deflected by Freeman, picked up and dribbled down the court by Dawson, who finds an incredible lane to lead Scott for the layup. Teamism at its peak.

Their coach is a VCU Shaka disciple. HAVOC spreads...

Dawson FEELING IT!

HEAVY pressure by FIU out of the gate. GREAT timeout by Groce to make the adjustments now instead of letting it get out of hand.

FIU lost to UCF by 23, Tarleton State by 17 (at home it looks like), and Miami FL by 6, then beat Houston Christian by 9. This will be an interesting matchup. Their schedule should lend itself to a decent base RPI with games against Liberty, FAU, NMSU, MTSU, WKU, and La Tech.

Utah State beat the dog poop out of Marshall. Football gods were smiling upon the Browns for what Pissburgh did to Chubb, and with Chubb in the house. Beautiful win. 7-3. Control your own destiny.

Lol. The most dangerous phrase in business - "we've always done it this way." There isn't a single logical reason to bar JMU from the postseason.

Gameday at JMU this week is electrifying, and an absolute dream come true for those of us who have disdain for the NCAA and "suits".

McElwain was the WRs coach at Michigan in 2018, before becoming the HC at CMU. Just a little something to keep in the back of everyone's mind...

"Excuse me, flight attendant? Do we have any crayons and coloring pages we could give those boys to keep them entertained AND assist them with obtaining their degrees?"

@MarkWiley The decision to have Dante kick the would've-been-game-winner vs Indiana will forever be a stain on JoeMo's resume. The concerns with Wiley were distance related from 45+ from what I had seen at the time, not accuracy. And I'm not even sure if distance is an issue, simply speaking based on my memory of his kicks. Instead of being 2-2 in the OOC portion with a win against a Big Ten school, we were 1-3, and the lack of finishing was set into motion.

Abhorrent officiating to not look at the OB play in regulation AND the fumble in OT. Gotta call TO in the OT to force a review. With that being said, anybody with a sac worth carrying around would go for 2 in the first OT. Another epic coaching disaster.

GATHINGS! Man, I'm a huge fan of his. He plays with so much passion!

Is this Ham & Cheese's (Haminn Quaintance) son?!

This is what's confusing to me as well. Was there a class or classes that didn't transfer?

Yup, injuries happen. Soft tissue injuries are most common in preseason/early season. Can't control the reward for the risk when it's pre-season, but you can control the reward when the season starts. Heidelberg is ridiculous and embarrassing, especially where there's an even lower opponent later in the season. I don't care if other teams schedule this crap - sick of the sheep mentality. Dare to be different. Get a D1 team on the schedule. I like this schedule overall, but these two non DI teams are atrocious.

And risk injury.

I'll chip in my left nut for a complete set if it means a Final Four.

To add onto this... 76 - Drake (Cayman Tournament Participant) 92 - Bradley (Future OOC Opponent) 94 - Loyola Marymount (Cayman Tournament Participant) 98 - St. Bonnie (Cleveland Classic Opponent) 102 - Utah St. (Utah St/Marshall faces Akron/FIU 2nd round of Cayman) 105 - UNLV (Future OOC Opponent) 111 - Stephen F. Austin (Cayman Tournament Participant) 162 - Marshall (See Utah St. Note) 229 - Oakland (Cayman Tournament Participant) 240 - FIU (Our 1st Cayman Opponent) A good showing in the Cayman tournament would go a long way towards taking the next step as a program. It's a great mid-major field.

My post about a blind squirrel finding a nut was a joke (although they might actually be blind since they call their pee yellow "gold"). The world absolutely sucks right now, so if I can combine the success of the Zips with the failure of my rivals - especially PCCC - to find additional happiness, I absolutely will. I'm a fan - not a player. The kumbaya BS of rooting for rivals or not enjoying the failures of rivals is something I've never understood.
