CTE isn't caused by the big hit, it's the smaller repeated blunt trauma hits over time. Offensive lineman get it way more than the wide receiver that got knocked out because they're just butting heads every day, every play, over and over and over. Same with boxers. It's just repeated boom boom boom trauma to the head.
I had the same issue but then switched over to the women’s teams, worked like a charm!
They're not that bad. They were 17-22 today, 77%. What do you want? 4 of the 5 starters are 80% or better. Reed is 61%. Ross was at 80% before today's 2 misses. Smith and Reibe are bad. They seem to hit them down the stretch and OT when they need to and the right guys are at the line (knocking on wood so it doesn't cost them in a game!). Some misses are bound to cost them at some point but they're just not as bad as you're thinking.
Absolutely 100% agree.
I don't think he's lazy, but he is inconsistent with his energy. I also don't think he's as great as we want or think him to be. He's very good, don't get me wrong, but he really struggles when he's doubled, mainly because he rarely kick it back out and try to force something through the double team.
Didn’t look good on your TV?
I hope Nelson doesn’t read this or you’re in for it!
Does that matter if its in overtime?
I think you know that FTs are about when…..Ross had no chance today, i don’t care what his % was coming in.
No, if you watch the play again youll see when they were backpeddling Reed hwas holding Brennans shoulder / upper arm down as the ball was coming towards them. It was dumb and a foul and if Reed just used both hands to jump and grab the ball it would have been a simple rebound.
I don't know that I've ever seen a worse whistle than Tarris got in that game...
Ruff, who cares? Enjoy the journey buddy. NC will take care of itself.
Don’t count out Butler yet.
Would you rather be 7-2 with 7 wins with margins over 15 points and 2 losses that are absolute head scratchers or be 9-0 and a lot of wins by 6-7 points? I’d rather be 9-0. It would be nice to put up 117 points on Providence this week…
Ah he's great.

These kind of posts, while totally realistic, are not allowed around here! I hear what you're saying, but not there yet. There is no doubt the product we are seeing now is not inspiring, at all. What I'm watching against some of the title contenders doesn't feel like it could win 6. Tarris is a talented, yet sluggish 5. I don't know what it is about him - I think we all expect more than he can deliver based on his physical skills. He's good, but he's not that much of a difference maker. There is no way we should be this poor a rebounding team with him in the middle. I'm actually somewhat surprised we've drifted off using Eric. AK is what he is. Solo is what he is. I've felt throughout this process, seeing Silas and Braylon pop in a more integrated offense is what would flash our ceiling, that's been in drips and inconsistent. I still feel like there is another gear in there that we haven't seen, but now with Braylon potentially missing time, less confident. Most of what I've see out there has put us in a "Tier 2" contender bucket.
Not the point - winning is nice, but seeing a product that you can see advancing deep is what we're looking for.
That BE was so much better than this one. We played really good teams in that slump, between Xavier (2X), Creighton and Marquette. Xavier was a S16 team, Creighton Elite 8 and Marquette was a 2 seed. We lost our WTF game to SHU and StJ.
Do you exhaust yourself? You exhaust everyone else
