Some of yall are crazy. How can you question a coach’s talent evaluation when you look at results? App played literally the same team twice, once with starters and once with mostly 3-4th string guys. The starters lost by 2, the backups lost by 19. Wilson and a couple other players showed some flash...

What are y'all talking about? You gotta take off the gold glasses for a second. Armanti DEVELOPED into a great passer. Look at his completion percentage rise throughout his 4 years. Look at the drop in interceptions. Look at the rise in attempts with that completion percentage. Armanti was not a gr...

Wilson was the first QB this season that was willing to lead. You get a guy who's willing to sacrifice his ego and his body to will the ball forward you better hang on to him. His passing wasn't that much worse than Armanti's tbh. He could be fun to watch.

I think we will see a limitation on the number of transfers allowed and some form of revenue sharing for the school that recruited and developed the player when they flip. With that, schools like App with strong ties to High School coaches, who can find that overlooked player and develop him, will b...

I’m disappointed in Kohl not finishing the season, if true. Agree. Not sure that helps ease some of the doubts about his level of competitiveness. Hopefully those doubts are wrong, but ducking a hit and diving short of the 1st down earlier in the season Along with this has definitely raised some qu...

https://twitter.com/vvinzetta/status/2001400606297038894?s=42 I also saw what Drink said about similar topic. The system is broken and not sustainable. It has to be fixed Want to transfer? You have to be bought out or the program you’re leaving has to be paid a fee. Soccer has been doing this since...

There's nobody who even remotely follows college football that has expectations of seeing premier football in our bowl game or any of the bowl games. No idea why we concern ourselves with what someone else will think of us in the current environment. I'm going to go to Birmingham and enjoy pulling f...

Not even a pep band? Not even a pep band. I would be willing to chip in some money to get at least a pep band there... Anyone else? Is the decision from the Provost "we don't care" or "we are broke"? Would it been different had we been invited "initially" after finishing 6-6? If the band did what t...

I attended the game. The 'feel' in Minges was that App took control in the first 5 minutes and never relinquished it. ECU made a run start of the 2nd but App held them off and killed it out. The Pirate faithful got a little rowdy during their run but settled back down. We were the better team and it...

I bet you'll see more sandbagging discussions of how underwhelming both sides are than you will fist fights. Does anyone fight with fists anymore? Chest bumps 😂😂😂 There may have been more fights if this were the Bourbon Bowl. We played in the Water Bowl two years ago. I predict more snippy comments...

I'm in. Not sure how, but it's on. I will say Monday at 2 sounds more like a business meeting than a football game but if that's when they play, I'll take off my tie, pop open a drink and join in.

They will need to come up with a punishment for eligible teams that decline unless there is a valid excuse. But that would probably drive the powerful schools to form their own league away from the ncaa/rules.

Win - Win.

The timing of the bowl games helps out, IMO. It's three weeks from today. Many Sun Belt bowl games are next week on weekdays as the CFB takes over Saturday. The biggest hurdles IMO are the logistics, such as making sure the players/staff is fed while the dining halls are closed. Yeah, Monday at 2 p...

I think it should be noted that I think DG is doing a good job, but as someone who worked in college athletics game day experience for a few years, I've got a few: - removal of on-field in SE corner; blocks view of the endzone, and creates a "we're better than you" feeling for those who are in ther...

So this would make the 2nd time he coached at a Sun Belt school. The last time he went for 2 wasn't a good outcome for him.

We should probably temper our "go for two" talk.

I do not believe we have a QB on the roster at this time who can take us to a Conf Champ. Don’t think Kohl has hit his ceiling yet but Swann probably already has and probably won’t get back to that ceiling. The guy played on a broken ankle all year. I'd say there's likely some upside when he gets b...

To be clear , the AD owns the hiring decision and he knows it . ipso facto if this one doesn’t work out he probably won’t be picking the next coach That is what I would think as well. It just shows how powerful football is that an AD could make tons of good hires but if they make multiple bad footb...

Looks like we finally get some football weather. Can't wait!

While there are benefits to having an OC, there are also disadvantages. The largest being financial. Can the AD provide another $500k to hire an OC plus other salary bumps? Along with extra investments in NIL? Fair point. As much as having a dedicated OC would help, raising the needed funding would...

Dartmouth is not a good team….. They lost to Bryant by a similar score to our game. Bryant is 1-3 with all three losses by double figures. We beat NCCU by 22 whereas UVA only beat them by 19. UVA is 4-0 with a 26 point win over Marshall. This game is fun. There's nothing to suggest, at this point, ...
