The pre-season predictions of a dead-last conference finish seem pretty right to me at this point.

Starters are 2 of 16 from the field late in the first half (12.5 percent)

National League pitchers (before they finally added the DH rule a few years ago) usually had higher batting averages.

All about the $$$$

Fuck money

Singer was a great play-maker and it’s unfortunate he had one lone TD. If he has a good QB throwing the ball and a few other quality receivers running routes (so opponent has several targets they need to focus on) has the potential for great numbers should he stay.

I generally don’t boo my teams (no matter what the playing level). But does indeed change things when ‘student athletes’ are now essentially professionals and many are looking for a better offer every season.

I still won’t boo, but am becoming much more understanding and tolerant of those who do.

Like to see someone like SMU, Indiana, or ASU win the whole thing (still can’t pull for Boise in any situation). But fear we’ll likely see Georgia against Oregon or Texas in the final.

Sort of like March Madness. I hope to see a small humble mid-major win the title but we inevitably see teams like Duke, Carolina, Ashley Judd U, Kansas, etc.…[Read more]

Indiana vs. Notre Dame intriguing as it is an in state battle between a long time power and an outsider having a great year at the right time.

But so much to get done for the holidays, may not be able to closely follow any of the playoff games and the Running Utes have a good matchup Saturday too.

That was a big problem here about 5-10 years ago here when Huntley was QB. Would appear ready to run, linemen would start downfield to set up blocks, but he would throw at the last moment resulting in the yellow hanky.

Hunter seems to get on fire a few times each month. Hopefully will have a few of those 80% from behind the arc games in the Big12. Most times he misses most of them but does work hard out there which I appreciate.

That epic game against Arizona last season where missed FTs doomed us was crushing in that not only did we eventually go down after…[Read more]

Team has had trouble playing 40 quality minutes. We let 2-9 Eastern Washington hang around far too long (had a dominant start getting up 16 before letting them back to within a basket or two, then a final push in the closing minutes put the Eagles away), and not showing up until after halftime cost us against the Gaels. After what should be a…[Read more]

Well he isn’t leaving for lack of playing time.

Lots of players entering the portal from teams that still have game(s) left to play.

Five games where the offense had one single TD (in one of them a pick-6 and a TD on a blocked punt wasn’t enough for a win, another was against a TCU team that gave up 66 points to their twin-cities rival SMU).

If allegations are true about not getting along with others in the locker room, then best for everyone if he plays somewhere else.

I’m a Packer fan, but would be fun to see the Lions finally make it to the Super Bowl.

Players can opt into the portal to explore offers/opportunities, then return of course.

But NIL is going to greatly increase numbers who transfer out (and who transfer in too).

Highlights (or should I call them lowlights) of Bama’s season include loses to 6-6 Vanderbilt and 6-6 Oklahoma (as well as a respectable loss to Tennessee), and wins over Western Kentucky, South Florida, and mighty Mercer.

Many players around the country may be waiting until after the bowl/playoffs season is over before entering the portal, waiting until all teams are done playing and ready to focus on building next year’s squad.

ST had a few bright moments including a blocked FG returned or a TD against Baylor, a blocked punt for a TD against the Cyclones, and at least one other blocked FG in other games. But on the other hand inconsistent place kicking cost us dearly at times, our return game was non-existent and we gave up a KO return for a TD against BYU and punt…[Read more]

Sigh. Don’t supporters of that team down in Provo have an upcoming bowl to be excited about?
