  1. That's a great summation. The offense laid an egg in Columbus and was so pedestrian for the next two weeks, with Arch looking way off and several key talents sidelined. For that matter, as solid as our defense was, the lack of a weekly sack party was unsettling after so much buildup. Given all this, I think many of us longtime fans have a rather uneasy felling about where things actually stand. Maybe that was always the likeliest outcome following an offseason in which some folks really asked if this team might beat 2005's, but to see us look so meh on one side of the ball has been buzzkill. While last night was a long step in the right direction, let's not forget that was a home game against an 0-3 Sam Houston squad that under no circumstances had a chance to beat us. I was a Coffee & Football guy nearly every weekday for months leading into the season, mostly to get recruit updates from Gerry. Recruiting is the one major part of college sports I can't really watch for myself, so accurate coverage of that topic intrigues me much more than game analysis. I'm no coach, but I'm content with my own ability to tell what did or didn't happen on the field of play.
  2. How emblematic of this whole disaster
  3. I'll admit I was happy we signed Walker. I'll admit I was wrong.
  4. I'll be dismayed if you're right. He's not up to snuff.
  5. Sounds like Arch was trash talking all week so maybe it's a concerted effort to change the vibe and be more of an alpha. Or maybe the DB said something bad about Vuori.
  6. Not that he's more athletic, but is Moseley actually even on campus yet?
  7. I've only seen the last two plays of ND-Purdue, but they were enough to convince me the Boilermakers should stick to making boilers.
  8. A lot of livestock and wildlife choke on released balloons. Yet another reason Nebraska bites.
  9. Our offense against Clemson's defense would be a matchup for the ages.
  10. But now I see he's back in the lineup today. So brave!
  11. Listen. If a guy gets one of our three hits, he's done more than his share of the heavy lifting. Let's not ride that horse to death.
  12. With as inconsistent as Utah's kicker is, I'd had thought about taking another crack at the end zone to end the half. But he made it, so only down 7.
  13. Same here. I mean, I've heard his name but know virtually nothing of him and have no clear picture of why his presence or absence would be interest to me. Then again, I never claimed to be up to speed on media personalities in general. Many strike me as doorknobs.
  14. I can think of few things less reassuring than to have Valdez start a must-win game. Hopefully he shocks us and tosses a gem, but no breaths should be held on that. And let's be honest here: Even if he does, will we win?
  15. I think we all know the game moves a bit too quickly for Joe.
  16. Going about as I'd expected so far tonight. Most of their talent is in or near their prime. Most of ours is old or absent. I don't know of any magic tricks to fix what ails us before the offseason.
  17. The saints are marching out.
  18. Bobby Richardson, 2B for the Yankees. I've never been a Yankees fan.
  19. Just as I was set to type something about "upholding the integrity of the game," I remembered you were talking about the Dodgers. Never mind.
  20. Kind of hard to get there when you're sweeping folks. Not that I'm complaining.
  21. Just mauling a really good team so far.
  22. So much talent out there. Devin bringing it strong late.
  23. Awesome Stafford story about the portal.
  24. Sigh. Can Blubaugh go 6 innings a night?
