    yes.  I think that was the ugliest MAC game at the JAR (other than some Zip clunkers) since I've been attending games...that goes back 25 years.

    I took a few friends to the game & hyped it up to see Emoni.  After the game I apologized for wasting their evening.

    I graduated in 1986 in Electrical Engineering. Our class started with about 180 sutdents. Only 30 graduated. I nearly didn't make it, myself. The junior year was rrrrrough. I had four extremely demanding courses at once. It got so that I couldn't keep up with all the homework (8-10 hours a day, even on weekends), so I had to pick one class to just audit, because I couldn't survive all four. The professor for that class (Digital Circuits) saw me not turning in homework, and failing the tests, and he took me into his office, gave me back my test (F!) and told me "you will never be an engineer." But I proved him wrong. Even got on the dean's list my senior year. Anyway, learn how to study, how to take notes, AND visit all of your professors once a week. Get to know them. Make them get to know you. You're paying their salaries. USE THEM.

    It used to be a lot harder pre-Internet as well. Digital is so important, and yet its taught so poorly I find. I'm 3rd year now and see the importance of it, but when I was first introduced to Digital, it seemed so stupid and was taught so badly.

    May I know which university ? Start with 180, and only 30 survived. Too tough, wasn't it ?

     @kc cheung  University of Akron in Ohio. I was told by a professor that it would be hard. He told us to look around the room. Then said only about 1 in 6 of you will graduate. He said it's because Electrical Engineering is a controlled profession. They make the major hard enough to weed out 5/6 of the class.

    Nice! That's how a real university producing graduates with real degrees operates. Those who can't cut it can go to KSUcks & get a degree in gender studies & end up delivering pizza's & telling everyone how oppressed they are 🙄😂

    That sucks. I thought Donnelly really had the guys playing well & would have made a nice HC.  But I trust Guthrie.  Hopefully the coaching search will be fun to keep tabs on.

    Oh wow, you’re right. I could be wrong, but I thought I saw Landers on the sideline during the spring game, just not in pads. That’s a big loss. Suppose that means we’ll see Chambers and Kindred battle it out at LT now. Maybe James will come along quicker than expected? I think that’s now 4 players gone from the 2022 HS/JUCO signing class. 

    I don't see Landers in the Transfer Portal so it must be grades, no?  I wonder if after this semester & perhaps a couple of summer school classes he could regain his eligibility by fall camp?

     

    Also, in looking at the TP, it doesn't have Ravonte Holt as having transferred anywhere yet. Is that outdated information? Is there a possibility he could wind up a Zip next fall almost by default?  (Would we want him on the team?)

    Coach Wart was a little behind the eight ball in recruiting the DL and it’s not ideal taking this many JUCOs, but gotta figure a few of them will pan out. We should have a solid rotation on the interior. I like the potential we have on the edge, just don’t know what’ll we’ll get from our ends. Now to see how quickly coach Wart can develop these guys.

     

    We certainly have numbers at DT & DE

    DT:

    1. Terray Jones

    2. Kiawan Murphy

    3. Kyle Thomas

    4. Andre Proffitt

    5. Devon Robinson

    6. Marcus Moore

    7. Lama Lavea

    8. Tyler Carter

     

    DE:

    1. Ryan Johnson

    2. Ahmad Rabah

    3. Bruno Dall

    4. Bennett Adler

    5. Kameron Cheatom

    6. Antonio Smith

    7. CJ Nunnally

    8. LaJoshua Jackson

     

    Fingers crossed a few of these guys at each position turn out to be more than just warm bodies.

    Chances are we bring in at least one more IOL with the ability to push for a starting spot.
     

    With the signing of USF transfer OL Joshua Blanchard it looks like Ball Coach JoeMo & Coach J-Rod got their IOL 💪

    What do you guys think about this hypothetical starting OL?

     

    LT - Kamari Landers

    LG - Joshua Blanchard

    C - Tyhler Williams

    RG - Keylen Davis

    RT - Keon Kindred

     

    Hey MAC, how do you like them apples?!?! 👀👀
