  1. Perhaps we're getting a glimpse into the distractions inherent to high-level college sports in the NIL era. It's hard to know where an athlete's head really is, but when play suffers it's not crazy to ask if priorities are as they should be. Maybe that's not at all what we're seeing. But throw NIL obligations and money on top of the rockstar status that comes with back-to-back titles and it's hardly unthinkable that some players might lose focus. Past time for coaches and team leaders to figure it out.
  2. Dude must be getting paid by the word. Otherwise, he could have just gone with: "We sucked."
  3. Wait. I thought aggy was the side claiming to be a well-oiled machine. If didn't appear that SCar used any lube at all.
  4. Right now we'd have trouble fogging a mirror. Guess our coach decided #600 was enough.
  5. We're about to see what this bunch is really made of.
  6. Our volleyball and football teams both got punched in the mouth recently. Football then responded well enough against a decent opponent to leave Nashville with a win. It wasn't all that impressive, but they did survive a conference battle on the road and still have a chance to make a title run. Volleyball didn't get it done at home...twice straight. That makes today a total MUST win. After surviving that second set, let's see if they have what it takes to get their mojo back. I don't think any of us could be called optimistic, but we all hope they do
  7. "Them cheating' sips still got the media on their payroll."
  8. A #3 ranking for Penn State is even crazier to imagine.
  9. Pedoestrian offense
  10. Elliott has big, big problems. I seriously doubt they get fixed this season, but I'd love to be wrong.
  11. Akana's service game remains horrendous. Make it stop.
  12. I realize Mizzou has a decent team. I'm just not accustomed to us having so much trouble controlling points. Even the ones we're winning don't really seem to be under control. We're scrambling to stay in points we should be dictating. This is our concern, dude.
  13. Nice service game there by Carlson. And much more solid net play by several ladies. Now...don't let this go 5.
  14. Just awful play all around. Errors galore.
  15. Sloppy so far. I'm fighting the urge to accept that this is simply who we are in 2024.
  16. Seems like a solid explanation of what everyone did on that pivotal play...right or wrong.
  17. In a way, I think Cole's problem was similar to Schwarber's on his feebly attempted strike 3 bunt vs. Houston in the 2022 WS: sudden vapor lock. Pressure can do strange things to athletes, even the great ones.
  18. No season that ends without a Yankees title is altogether unsuccessful.
  19. In nearly 60 years of watching baseball, I've never pulled for the Dodgers. At the moment, I hope they win this game by 40.
  20. If that happened to Diaz, New York would intervene and call him for facial obstruction. Runner safe, 180-day suspension on the catcher.
  21. Maybe Cam Williams missed his calling. He'd make a pretty good matador. But hey, I'm not putting it all on any one guy. The whole OL has underperformed lately. Too many flags and blown assignments. If that continues, and Ewers can't move better in what remains of the pocket, I have no problem trying an Arch package. And maybe a little more trickeration, while we're at it. (But save lining up Arch as a wideout for the playoffs.)
  22. That whole "fatherly advice" thing did wonders for Calzada. Fire up the BBQ.
  23. Our offense reminds me of a spring game. Sling it around a little. Make some plays, blow some plays. Huddle up and work on a few others. No obvious fire or urgency. Or so it appears from my couch.
  24. Williams isn't good enough to play. And in general, this team is showing the discipline of a 5-year-old.
