    NBA and All Star game - when did demise start

    No, I don't watch any all star games any more. Though I get why players don't go 100% for all 4 qtrs. Certainly, it is just an exhibition, and you certainly don't want to get injured. But I don't get playing like it doesn't matter at all, and then watching the debacle unfold, and how it gets...

    Iowa 2024 - Way too early Pre-game Ramblings

    Way too early, but oh well .. we open against Iowa (10-2 reg season,10-4 overall), so I decided to start scouting their roster coming out of 2023 into 2024. Pretty well known that their offense was weak and their defense was carrying them. Per Massey, which is adjusted for SOS, their offense...

    2024 Roster & Season - Prognosis Negative ?

    Thought this would be a good thread starter .. I don't do many .. please chime in !! But it's for everyone's thoughts about 2024 fall season. Several of us have said it looks promising right now, including me. So I pulled the roster and dropped it into a Pivot table. So with Dec signing day...

    CAA trending down ....

    They're going from 15 to 16 teams next year, but getting worse every year because their top teams are leaving and they're taking all comers. Delaware is now leaving and Richmond is very concerned, rightly so. CAA is getting so watered down that Richmond did not play any of the top 3 teams in...

    RB Mason Blakemore - Game 9 .. Newcomer of Week, 2nd in MVFC rushing

    We probably haven't been giving this guy enough credit because we finally have a pass game for first time in a hwile. But he just keeps plugging away. At first he was looking like a big play back. But he is also a bit of a grinder as well. Blakemore Named MVFC Newcomer of the Week - Illinois...

    Annexstad to Sobkowicz

    SO WR Daniel Sobkowicz had a great day and is having a great season .. he leads MVFC in every category below except yards per catch. To think he was non-schollie originally, is quite impressive. And with 45 catches after just 7 games, he already exceeds his 31 catches from a year ago. He is...

    Perspective/Retrospective .... Takin' Care of Business

    Fire Urban Meyer now !!!!

    I thought James Robinson had a very nice first game for an undrafted free agent in his very first NFL game ... way to represent James !!! 5 carries for 25 yards and 3 catches for 29 yards. I think he could be a starter and 1,000 yard guy in a few years if he works hard, keeps this up and can...

    Game 1: Jefferson and Braden Price

    I realize it was just Butler, but couple comments on offense and defense. Offense averaged 8.6 yards per carry and 22 yards per catch .. eye popping, though it was Butler. Bryce Jefferson had very Roberson like numbers early in his 2014-15 season ... so so completion % but great QBR at 181 ...

    AD Larry Lyons retires !

    So I was doing yard work all day, not sure what the rest of yours excuses are !! Anyway, let me first say and others are free to disagree ... but I think AD Larry Lyons was a pretty good man and a good AD, just not very good one in that he had a few notable misses in his time. But I think he is...

    Transfer Portal - promising FCS QB available

    Not recommending this .. nor would I rule it out. I assume he would have to sit out next fall, but this would give us some competition at QB for 2021... he started for SHSU and was Hero FR all american. He''s a RS JR, and so already used his RS, though he did have an injury .. so wondering if...

    Tre Roberson to sign with Bears !!!

    Awesome news !!!! Thought this news/scoop for pending deal was worthy of its own thread. Many teams clearly like him a lot. Here's the link others posted on Former PLayers Thread: https://www.profootballrumors.com/2020/01/bears-to-sign-cfl-cb-tre-roberson "Roberson, who is viewed as this...

    2020 defense returning

    Too soon to talk 2020 ??? Nah !!! So our defensive starters yesterday featured just 2 SRs, 4 JRs, and 5 SOs - DL group had a JR and 2 SO starting, and backups Powell and Podkulski are both JRs .. so our top 5 DL is all SO and JR, so this group is total set for 2020 - LB group had 1 SR, 1...

    WR Edgar status ???

    very tough break for Edgar getting injured again. I can't remember if he came back into game or not. The announcers never said a word about it after the injury happened. They clearly didn't quite understand how important he is to our WR group ... he is a stud and makes everyone better simply by...
