About the Big Fella (Jagusah): I don't know what exactly that "arm" fracture is, but my BBaller "recovered" in about 6 (?) months, but it was a recovery which still had a light cast with it. He could play/shoot etc, but still had the cast. Do they let OLinemen play with a "Club"?

I'm not smart enough to answer the "benching" question; I just follow my eyes as to who I'd like on the pitch. Eleven guys. Goalie plus back "four", leaves six. Big "9" (Balogun or ...?). Pulisic and McKennie beside him? leaves three. Adams and Luna and one other Mid. What about Weah? The...

I really do get the player quality issue. It's just that I really liked what I saw when the Coach let McKennie play forward --- I think that he's more of a game wrecker closer in. And, with Luna, I watch him like I watch great linemen at work (i.e. closely even when the ball is not at his feet...

I watched the Ivey post-game con. Completely lacking in useful content, except for two things: 1 --> she didn't invite Hannah out to face any questions (probably wise, but maybe a hint about being able to handle the situation); and 2 --> she did bring KK out (who disported herself very well as a...

Luna = Discovery of the Season. Wide-field awareness = Sweet passes = Offense continues in attack zones. Also: never-ending hustling and +++ defense willingness. Now: how and where on the field in first eleven?

I need to let my fixation on this go. West Virginia had a great WR many years ago who was having such a good season that people were asking him to comment on all kinds of honors. He answered with the right philosophy (albeit the wrong grammar --- and he was actually quite an intelligent young...

Another minuscule thing: Miami hasn't played a lot of "good" eye-test ball lately, except maybe thrashing NC State so badly. How did they do that? I know NC State is now-you-see-me-now-you-don't (5-5) but what actually happened? It appears that they were incompetent in extremum in running the...

I wonder a bit if real football people continue to know that Miami needed a desperation heave, the 2025 catch-of-the-year, and an Adon Shuler first game brain coma to win that game on one spectacular but funky play? Even were I not an ND fan, I'd remember things like that.

Committee's eye-testing right now. Who do we think is Wowing them more? (We did some amazing things vs Pitt.) They still might choose the wrong way, but ...

I believe that there are a lot of good WBB coaches out there in lesser light situations. With any assessment at all, and a good salary offer, we for sure should be attractive.

HA!

For as good as Raridon is, I'm utterly boggled by his whole-body-spatial unawareness during the simple act of running. Had it been one time, well, OK. But .... reminds me of the goof-headed Bball players who step out of bounds when catching or dribbling. (I was a mediocre player compared to a...

He actually should come back. I believe (purely amateur opinion here) that the pros will be concerned about whether he has the necessary strength. Maybe one more year growing into his "man-strength" might give him a career chance. He has the smarts and the attitude and the dependability and all...

I hope so. We still need to see that on the college court. And, as to that: Bigs. We're still short-ish compared to power programs. I looked at the TCU roster to whom Miles transferred. They have FOUR scholarship athletes 6'6" or taller.

I'd find that "interesting" and entertaining. (I've been asking for an old-time "Stanford heavy package" with a giant fullback-type for a while. We don't do that though.)

Re' Reesus: I get the alternative way of thinking. My (overly optimistic?) view is that we even in a loss would play OSUs ass off, and others wouldn't. Good football people would remember that, even if internet fans wouldn't.

Bane is correct. The exception would be a superstar fully operational and with time to resonate together with teammates with whom he has already had good cohesion. My guess is, however, that the arm bone injury is far more difficult to fully strengthen than the pec-muscle injury (which is what I...

Since playing in the tournament is just as good for me, wherever we finish other than winning a championship, I'll stick to my minority opinion: I don't care how "soon" we get Ohio State. We either beat them or we don't. IF we beat them, then we get "their seed" bracket from then on. Earlier in...

We want to be ranked ahead of everyone we can be every week. That psychologically establishes that the Committee doesn't want anyone last minute jumping us. Stay ahead of OU. Get ahead of Alabama. Get ready to jump Ole Miss and Oregon.

Believe me; I hated writing that. But it's what I saw.
