ESPN as a whole has gone down hill as it has become a haven for those with loud and/or strong opinions with little sports knowledge. Used to feel informed watching ESPN, not anymore.

Crocker and Edsall who is involved with defense more than offense need to coach better period. A top coach coaches with what you got and what would work now, not your ideal future state. Our linebacker unit is much better than our DB unit so if we want to stop being embarrassed need to go...

Shirreffs is great fit for Lashlee system as requires quick short passes and Bryant is smart so able to make quick reads so expect him to continue to have great year. Just needs to stay healthy as while protection was good first three games he took some big hits last week and will get injured...

15-18K. Red Sox and Yankees playoff games and dealing with rush hour Friday night traffic will keep numbers down.

Should be another shootout, they are 125 in defense rankings and 36 on offense, while we are 126 and 31.

Definitely athletic and coached up. Scheme is big part as well as smart QB with quick release who has time to make pre snap reads instead of rushing to line with couple seconds on play clock trying to avoid delay of game penalty. Have been very impressed with the blocking by wide receivers as...

Issue is more scheme and DB's. Three man front linemen occupy blockers, Lb's and in this scheme Db's have to make plays. 3-4 would work better on this roster and have seen Stapleton make plays on edge in past but seems to be on field less the last few games. Think we also lose Carrezola...

Entertaining game and much better product on field all season but still long way to go and need to tighten up a lot and while refreshing to have somewhat positive announcers, thought they were going to give us a participation trophy. Special teams have to stop taking a stupid penalty every game...

Should be shoot out , over/under is at 76. With their offense and our defense holding them under 40 and 500 yards will be an achievement. But on other side their defense is very bad and have an easy schedule except for TCU so anything less than 35 points and around 500 yards for us would be a...

A reason for hope is that although conference is just few years old we have seen some impressive year to year improvements from teams especially those moving to uptempo offenses. Right coach/oc, system and right QB for system can carry you far in the AAC.

Guess he wants to continue to follow his dream and perhaps get some sort of scholarship. Would guess maybe contacting FCS and D2 schools that originally recruited him or knows people on team.

Friday might not have been bad choice from recruiting perspective. Reading today that BC, Rutgers and Syracuse all had spring games on this Saturday and no thanks to ESPN constant promotion of P5 conferences, we are less attractive than those schools to many recruits due to our conference. Can...

I also heard someone say that Edsall was not big fan of Diaco emphasis on red as apparently red was more prevalent in program than just the stupid pants.

Definitely was entertaining but much like preseason in most sports hard to predict season from exhibitions, as last year big take away was the monster year Ron Johnson was going to have as lost weight and looked fast with a long TD run. However lot to love about the new offense, tempo, uses...

Can see transfer WR but want to see what Beals can do in this offense as old staff elevated Mayala above him after Beals great game against Navy in 2015 which could not figure out. Only three legit starters are Peart, Hopkins and Crozier, true freshman Holmes at RG and either transfer or...

Staff is closing strong. To paraphrase from the Godfather recruiting is a dirty business. Difference it seems so far it seems between Diaco and Edsall staff is Diaco recruited kids until they commit somewhere else, Edsall recruits kids until signing day regardless of commitment status.

Finebaum is busy today, he washes Nick Saban 's cars on Sunday.

I know Diaco would use the tired argument for defense but if that was case we would give up lot more points in second half but we actually gave up more points in first half than second half, all of it due to poor game plans on both sides of ball.

Will be nice to see defense sticking to what works. On number of broadcasts announcers were confused why we stayed in zone and rushed only three guys in games were we had success when we blitzed the QB. Sort of opposite what any other coach would do.

Seemed like a good positive guy but little slow and except for occasionally blasting a db he went down too easy for a power back. Whether he redshirted somewhere or drops to FCS wish him luck playing and getting his degree.

Finebaum is an over the top SEC homer who ignores any wrongs they do. He is probably still upset and stunned a SEC coordinator would leave for UCONN.

Might make some mistakes but Fuller is knowledgeable and does his research and generally makes good observations. In any event expect that under Lashlee will have game plans that will result in more than 9 first quarter points for season, guessing chance we might top that in first game.

Looks like not assigned specific position guessing if running his system probably ends up helping out wholley and cox with safeties and linebackers a bit on different assignments and coverages

Wonder if 22K have to be sold by certain date or go back to the Fenway group for them to sell.

The game is Saturday before Thanksgiving and school is closed that week and campus empties out the Friday before. Whether live or on TV it is depressing seeing an empty student section and no energy in stadium the entire game . If both teams are in hunt for Bowl game a Fenway game will have some...

Guess want to announce all at once. Do find the lack of any updates from reporters covering team strange as well. Aren't they supposed to try to find out what is happening.

His agent probably told him to shut up and besides we are already in rear view mirror as we were originally a stepping stone for him. Sure at some point when landing and doing well he will give interview and blame everyone, players, AD, president and trustees, fan base, alumni, students, region...

Really need to change job posting policy for coach roles. Either exempt them, as someone from finance or HR can not apply and get hired as linebackers coach or allow to hire during posting period as sure several coaches would have been officially hired by now.

Unless it is JMU OC who has title game Saturday and want to wait until after the game to announce.

Guessing he is spending time 75/25 on UCONN. He is not an assistant or coordinator so not same level of time commitment, otherwise would not be able to spend most of this week on campus. Seems his job is writing up report early in week on opponent for coaching staff and sure all the playoff...

Shane Morris QB leaving Michigan, any chance we can land him?

Edsall will get defense back on track. A decent OC and common sense will easily increase scoring 7-10 points a game next year. Pretending to be Lombardi Packers going against a 4-3 base defense when teams just loaded the box last three years was not best strategy.

Believe it is common thing to interview former staff even if formality. Doubt he keeps no more than one or two (Campbell from offense and maybe one on defense). Actually probably more of an opportunity for Edsall to pick their brains and get information on returning players from respective...

What former and current players were there?

Think honest in that he did not watch and study tape rather than give a BS answer. Guess days of hearing the constant BS about so and so (pick a name) is best player in country are officially over, thankfully.
