Blue & Gold

That's disappointing. I thought the bottom level was going to front Main St. with some new performance and gallery space.

Hopefully he can send kick offs through the back of the end zone.

We haven't talked enough about how good Clyde Price looked at RB. He looks like a RB and has the leg strength to pull his legs through arm tackles (Idk if Cam has that kind of leg strength). He was doing a great job running behind his pads, getting some extra yards after contact, and falling forward. I've always thought that for RB give me a guy who's 5'9 & #200. But at 6'1" #220 Pryce is an absolute monster. Pryce may not have the breakaway speed or home run capability of Cam, but until we have a better OL we'd better stick with the bigger back who can give us a cloud of dust & 3 yards a pop.

The lower west side was quite full. Upper west side looked almost as full as opening night. I wish the crowd was louder, but looking over from the east stands the west side crowd didn't look too sparse.

That’s precisely what happened to us. JD said it was because good DL were too difficult to recruit.

*I will say that w/ the blue jerseys & blue pants I think the gold helmets would have looked better. With this team we have little margin for error, so our equipment crew simply must do better.

Nice article by the ABJ's Michael Beaven.

We haven't been clicking like that offensively since Guywon Chong was leg swept -v- Michigan State. Did Sam Tojaga fill Guywon Chong's vacated position? Maybe Sammy was the piece we were lacking? Last night's game was so completely one-sided I couldn't tell if we were that good or if NIU was that bad. Complete, utter domination. When our starters were in we were making NIU look like a high school team. A true no-doubter. Shout out to local product #13 Joseph Paulus who had, IMO, the most impressive of the 4 goals - a true rocket shot off his left foot from 8-yards out.

Dawson is a big loss. First Ali transfers and now this. Groce & Co. are going to have to work some more magic again this season.

If Dawson is out, Hilltopper's 7 Guys Who Should Dominate PT is reduced to 6. That's an awfully thin lineup. IMO, now we really need Nate Johnson to step up. His HS tape was fantastic & he's got a strong build, ala Dawson. If he can buckle down & play stellar defense like Dawson does (Dawson is our junkyard dog), we won't need him to be much of a scorer. Sadly, I've gotta revise my lineup as follows: PG: X....................Clarke G: Hankerson....Prather G: Tribble...........Johnson P: Hunter............Mosengo P: Freeman........Lyles However, until I hear differently, I'm going to hold out hope that Dawson's injury isn't as serious as it may appear. They give these guys First Class care & spare no expense as they go above and beyond baseline treatments (e.g., being admitted to the hospital overnight for simple dehydration, etc.). Hopefully what we saw with Dawson is something along those lines. Maybe he just stubbed his toe 🤞😉

Can you elaborate? Walking boot? Knee brace? Crutches?

LET’S GO D!!!!!!!!!

TD!!!!!!!!! Great pass DJ Way to hang onto the ball Alex!

Love Shocky but he’s not a very good blocking WR

Love Darrian Lewis.

Indeed. And DJ put it right on the money.

I see Chu Ogbanna warming up.

I also like how our DL has begun to come into it's own. Victor Jones was a monster from Game 1, but now Zach Morton has emerged as just as much of a monster at the other DE position. Likewise, Curtis Harper has been solid from Game 1, but now with #55 DT Kyle Thomas lining up beside him we've been stuffing the run for 3 quarters now. Let's stuff the run & pressure the QB for all 4 quarters tomorrow! Zips win by 2 scores. Go Zips!

Could you give some highlights of what you remember from JoeMo?

I cannot attend tonight’s match, nor watch on ESPN+, so I’d really appreciate match updates & commentary tonight. 🙏

Preseason I didn’t have this one on the (rather long) list of Not-To-Miss matches. I was wrong.
