In the Mansfield area -15s would fly south for training on Tuesdays or Thursdays in the morning. You could hear them coming at a high speed and look up catch a glimpse as they went by. They would return later at more of a coasting speed. Used to love the A-10s as they would fly at lower...

To stop the option you have to stop the fullback. Air Force has been able to get him loose and it is usually big gains. Watch the FB from the 35 yard line in as he can go for 6 if defenders are napping.

We upped our 3 point makes vs Columbia which was good to see. Still getting driven by guards and Ross picking up 3 fouls in about 2 minutes was concerning. Ross can really run the court and was looking to do so. We had a couple fast breaks which is also good to see. Our rebounding concerns me...

Situations like this are the reason laws are written. It would make sense that when a oil tank use is discontinued the oil company or gas contractor should have to remove the fill pipe and vent pipe as well as the tank or lock the fill tube in a better way than just red paint. In 2025 it's...

Alex Karaban would start on every other team in Div 1. I think not having to be seen as the one to lead the team this season will help him have a great season. As for the game it looked like we did not know how to play them defensively and they took it to the hoop at will. Thankfully New Haven...

After the team came out of the tunnel pregame they did something i had not seen before. Lineman lined up in 2 rows facing each other and Coach Sammis gave them the go to hit each other in a small version of an Okie type drill. Sammis went down the line to each pair of players. I think it was to...

Early in the game we had at least 4 , 2nd and longs. 2nd and 14, 2nd and 12 etc. Sack, penalty whatever. Sammis likes to throw on first down. It has its upside but we will not beat Duke always behind the chains. We were able to overcome this vs UAB as Joe F was very on target. As others have...

You should not have to pay for parking with a blue pass. You just park in a different lot. I have done so in Grey Lot multiple times.

Saw Ross and Reibe defend but not waste a foul on Mich St 3 point attempts. I hope this continues teamwide. Furphy was close on his shots and looked like he was real comfortable playing a high level team as did Reibe. Dan Hurley has a lot of options this year to deal with any injuries or foul trouble.

I learned today via the article on Byrun Parham that Tyquan King was injured in the FIU game and has missed the last 2. Was wondering where he was. This may explain some of our inability to stop the run. On Rice's big run TD, Mills missed a tackle that would have kept it a 4 yard gain. On the...

I watched the second half of the 3rd Q and all of the 4th for UAB vs Memphis. If our offense does the 3 and out clinic we can do so well we will lose. Duke will be our toughest remaining opponent, but Air Force will give our D fits. Sammis and the offense have to up their game. We have the...

We did get stops in the second half. Our offense was lousy. Wasted so many downs on outside zone runs. And forced the Rosa in the flat passes. Murphy, Porter, our TEs, Neider and Bell need to be the feature of our pass game. Run Lundberg up the middle if Cam is injured. We blew the game with...

Watching some of the replays during the game on Saturday it looked like we had our D tackle/ends stunting away from where they were lined up and LBs did not fill the hole. That and Rice was happy to shove our guys where they were stunting to and the Rice RB hit the gap. As aggravating as the...

Sitting here now I totally agree with those who said we should have went for 2 to win the game in the first overtime. There was no way we were stopping Rice from the 25 if we kicked a FG in our next possession.

We were relegated to throwing short passes in the game as Rice watched the BC game and decided to pressure Joe F. Joe was just off today on some longer throws and the OT one really hurt. But our short throw were easily covered and nothing was changed on our side. Sammis never accepted that Rice...
