  1. Three points is a lot. Your right something is up. No way money moved the line. Could it be they are too focused on hosting LeBron? Haven't been able to find out why the spread might have moved. Also for some reason, the USAToday link isn't working anymore.
  2. After reading this thread, I'm beating my head against the wall too.....thinking about how we let two guys be at the forefront of our football program for several years who have done nothing more than coach at the D-II level ever since. That's all the affirmation I need. And their two D2 teams would probably beat the Zips this year. What does that affirm skip? That you believe that a D-II team could beat the Zips ? LOL It always makes me smile when someone make an outrageous comment, assumes it to be true and then wants to make inferences about it. I called it "pre-crime" with my first wife. I did nothing but would get killed on some outrageous thought that would get assumed to be real. So...now we are not only beating up ICoach for losing to GW...we are beating him up for losing to Wayne State and Ashland. LOL I'm not saying I know who would win in a hypothetical Wayne St/Akron matchup this year, but you're kidding yourself if you think there is a huge gap between the bottom of FBS and the top of D-2. But I'll wait to the end of the season before I definitively decide whether UA and Wayne St fall into these respective categories.
  3. Perhaps LR8 can compensate for his lack of zip by releasing the deep ball a little earlier. Up to this point, he hasn't been able to make that adjustment.
  4. Sconiers has improved all around, but the thing that most stands out to me is his confidence to catch in traffic AND make a play after the catch is made. He's leaps and bounds ahead of last year in this area. Russell has always seemed to be more of a deep threat with better straight line speed. In this respect, his skills are diminished by LR8's lack of arm strength. It seems like both Russell and Price have been open deep this year with the ball well underthrown. I suppose if you just let PN7 "pinch hit" for the long ball (and the deep out, the one play where PN7 truly does have NFL ability), you'd be showing your hand to the defense.
  5. Something seems to be happening out there, as the line is down to 17.
  6. It's definitely been a nice start to the season for the Warriors, but Paul would be the 1st to admit that their true tests (at LO's Ashland in 2 weeks, and at Hillsdale the week after that) still await. I think it's clear that he's been gearing up for this season. He's even getting a little help from a a Red & Silver transfer. They lost their leading rusher last week due to injury, so we'll see if they have the depth to win the GLIAC and/or make a run in the D-2 playoffs.
  7. B&G, it is on. I do believe he just Price-is-Righted your a$ CAREFUL! I couldn't find the clip sans the F-bomb! That's hilarious! I've watched the show plenty, but have never seen that clip. Outstanding.
  8. 7-48 if Nicely starts?
  9. B&G, it is on. I do believe he just Price-is-Righted your a$$
  10. FIU 38 UA 24
  11. CNNSI Story I think this highlights just how difficult it's going to be for 40, 56, 64, or whatever number of teams to effectively break away from the pack and form another division or organization. Five years ago, would you have put TCU in the "super-conference"? I'm starting to think that the whole super-conference thing has been overhyped, and the college football landscape, while certainly different, will nonetheless avoid undergoing a major, structural change.
  12. Carbon Nanotube (CNT) research at UA
  13. Gaffney article on how "The Chisel" fell to the Zips.
  14. Tough loss, but they'll bounce back.
  15. The PD article says he's a senior. The 6-3 senior completed 28 of 44 passes for 469 yards and three touchdowns, and had 84 yards rushing with two TDs rushing. Let's hope SMU and Hawaii don't find him first. Scout Profile ESPN coverage of last game
  16. Good choice for the warm weather. I know you won't have much trouble finding people to help you eat them! While I don't have a marinade recipe (I usually just go with a feel), I would suggest any recipe that has olive oil, lime juice and hot pepper as a gage. I'm going with chicken/veggie fajitas myself.
  17. Os his health in question? I thought he was back 100%. Looks like he was limited to WR duty against Duke.
  18. Some wagering money on the Zippers appears to be shifting the line slightly. I wonder if there has been some news on TY Hilton to cause this?
  19. Jabari coming into his own for the CFL's Calgary Stampeders.
  20. As much as I like "the Chisel", his numbers are bound to suffer with Bice and Kasparek out (although it's not as if he's had huge holes to run through in the 1st place). I think defenses are going to start keying more on #44, and with a weekened O-line unable to protect LR8 it could leave the Zips with few options on offense.
  21. I caught most of the 1st segment and am recording the entire program. I agree. Like just about all of Ken Burns' productions, it is an in-depth account of a fascinating story. Now I just need to block off some time to watch the rest!
  22. I think you have to use every angle you can. According to his Rivals profile, he doesn't have any firm offers yet. But he's only a junior and plenty of "name" programs appear to be showing interest. Unfortunately, he looks like a much better "spread" prospect on the surface.
  23. Isn't a good/great/respected running game supposed to open up an easy passing game? I'm also liking "The Chisel" nickname, I now use different words for Lone Ranger for LR8...low rate(d)8™. Whatever you do, DON'T look up the stats for RG3 (Robert Griffin III)......they'll depress you even further
  24. More PD coverage of "The Chisel". He's now up to #16 nationally in rushing yards.
