This Ernest Jones guy... dig him and what he's saying. My energy bucket is filled with wanting to go out and engage in my own community now.
 
OC Cummings says UConn will run plays that suits the personnel. Like that.

Also said that UConn will run every screen imaginable. I hope that works out well for him because in the past, nothing guaranteed a face palm more than UConn trying to run WR screens.

Said the Virginia staff wasn't really expecting that type of environment at The Rent. And that UConn beat them pretty good.

Yup, we have to try to get that back if P didn't kill it for good. The Baylor beat reporter said the same thing in print. And that the student section was as good as any in the Big 12.

I heard Pasqualoni say all the right things and then do the opposite. Excuse me if I wait to see actions instead of respond to words.

Foxx did pretty well on a few screens late last year.

The difference is Diaco will remember he said it. Besides, we get the ball to start the second half.

I'm with you on the wait and see approach.

And a little hope never hurt anyone either.

So as fans we have to mash the two together and "Hope, Wait and See".

PP was a metronome. The Ben Stein character in "Ferris Bueller" created more excitement. It will fall apart if Diaco doesn't win. But, it's off season, and "buzz" is necessary. Actually, in our case, more than necessary.

I know they will get fixed but the spelling and grammar mistakes in this article are shockingly bad. Sometimes speed isn't always best.

Clearly, this is a voice to text translation. It will get fixed.

New Offensive Coordinator Cummings Digs In At UConn (Paul Doyle)

Why was this so hard to understand by PGDL?

"When we went to Central Michigan, we had a plan for what we were going to do to install the offense. When we got there, the personnel dictated that we couldn't do what we wanted to do. So we tailored that plan. I think anybody that's going to be successful is going to tailor their plan. Their vision is going to be one thing, but you've got to tailor that to the personnel that you have."

I learned about this a few days ago. I wrote something somewhere about it, I honestly can't recall ever seeing such a crap move by administration. It's over and done though for Coach Patterson. I hope that Coach Patterson doesn't play a round of golf at Pebble Beach until many years from now.

>>Balis, who had been the strength and conditioning coach under Mullen since he was hired as the head coach at MSU, has often been referred by Mullen as "the most important part of his program" and has called him ""the best strength coach in the country"<<

Another UVA connection.

So Diaco pulls a strength and conditioning coach from the SEC? Say what? :cool:

The records of the teams that Balis has been the strength and conditioning coach for were always very good. This appears to be another nice get for Diaco. The MSU fans seem to appreciate both the magnitude of their program's loss as well as in a state of disbelief that they lost him to...UConn. I'm getting the impression that this is just the beginning of Diaco and UConn surprising a lot of folks in the traditional college football establishment :)

I honestly don't remember PGDL ever saying they were going to tailor the offense to fit the personnel they were given. Most of the things that came out of P's mouth made me roll my eyes, IMO he never said the right thing.

Didn't he say something at his first press conference like "we're gonna throw the ball...down the field"? If it wasn't those words exactly, it was something close....and most of all, it was damn inspiring and exciting too! ;)

Medic the ONLY thing we heard from those 2 idiots was how many plays GDL had in his play book!
