Ham

I'm just asking. Do they have an 8 year old doing the video with a cell phone?

So if we get our 300/100 we are better than LSU? How did I get sucked into this? The only thing we can say that the team with the most points on the board when time runs out tomorrow is the winner. LV, you better consider that the team that shows up for game 2 can be a lot different than what showed up for game1.

I guess I need to be better informed. I didn't realize you had played The Tide this year. I know you are looking for a blow out, but you better hope your team comes to play.

If we avoid throwing the ball to Wiscy making them earn their points, we will hold them under 30. Rushing will be difficult; so, Tommy will throw a lot exceeding 300. Being very optimistic, throwing success will open things up for WB to go over 100. Obviously, I never put money on a game. I go into every week with a players mentality.

I'm guessing that we take control early and use this game to get some live action for as many guys as possible. With so many pass rushers, we will have at least 3 sacks. Playing time will limit individual numbers.

49-0 The D has something to prove. Look for a shut out.

If the big 12 takes some AAC teams, those teams left behind might look at the MAC.

This might be the time for the MAC to expand. Right now, I think making the MAC a better conference would be our best option.

I think that team chemistry has been a big part of our success this year, and this young man sounds like the type of player to really build on that next year.

I wonder if this is an indication of McNees' coaching ability?

I'm not a BB expert; so I need someone to help me understand why we can't score a few fastbreak baskets. If you toss the garbage time pts, I would guess we have less than a dozen baskets all season long.

I think the band will need to add a tune from Forest Gump. Run Warren, Run.

.stupid penalties have been reduced--I look for none Sat. I think we should be able to double up on #1 WR, apply pressure to QB, limiting passing & getting a couple picks. UMass scores less than 17.

With no Zip game, I split my time between watching the Chips and UMass. You really can't scout from a TV feed, but the Chips were not all the impressive. If we bring our A game, we can win this game. When Toledo woke up, they took the lusture off UMass. The Thorn call throw the ball around, but he seemed prone to make some bad decisions. We could come out of the remaining five smelling like a rose, or just smelling.

With our bye week, is it time to work Chapman at WR?

Hilliard, Cinci St. Xavier grad, transferring from Iowa to closer to home. He was recruited out of HS by Akron. Would have 2 years eligibility after sitting out a year.

What were we going to do with another guard? Besides, isn't St. V a little closer our back yard?

Bowden year 1: D1AA (backup) transfer QB--O put up big numbers 2: KP16--O struggled to do anything/ didn't help D 3: KP/TW--O improved minimally/ still didn't help D 4: New QB emerges--O returns to putting up big numbers/ helps D I just don't think we are that far away. Just think what we could have done in year 1 if we would of had last years D! Everyone agrees that our D should be solid again next year. I believe that between Chapman and Kinked we will have the answer at QB. Neither has played a down, but I think both of them are capable of propelling our O to new heights. I wouldn't be surprised to see both of them on the field together at times. April 18 will bring much clarity to our prospects for the fall.

At least one on the O can be added to this list. RB Joshua Thomas has signed with Iowa State. Tyler should get a shot at him In '18 in Ames and in '19 at the Info.

One way we used to recreate the fatigue and pressure was to incorporate suicides with free throws at the end of practice. Its been so long ago that my memory has pleasantly blocked out the details.

I wouldn't say that refs should be insulated from criticism. I think they are trying to do their best. As fast as the college game is, I think it would be very hard to even think about what happened 5 mins ago. In the heat of the battle, do you think verbal abuse would slant your vision? Is that part of the "home court advantage"? Did Bob Knight get any special treatment?

My perspective changed dramatically when I had the opportunity to ref some HS rec league games. Try walking a mile in those sneakers; then come back and make your comments.

I think it would be great to see Kincade behind center with Chapman at WR. A few years ago Northwestern caused a lot of problems with 2 QB's on the field at the same time. Those QB's were very similar to ours. One was more traditional, and the other was very much a dual threat. Chapman could move behind center at times. That would keep the D on their toes. The bubble screen could even take on a new dimension.

I think with one or two fellow MAC schools coming with us our travel budget would still be reasonable. We could still maintain our rivalry with Can't. Iowa and Iowa State maintain a strong rivalry and play their game in September. After the MAC shunned us for years, why should we feel any loyalty?

As Big Dog improves his conditioning, I think his interior passing will add another punch we haven't seen much of yet.
