    Joe Rudolph - Offensive Line Coach

    Please coaching staff: I like that you think that CJ is our QB. In all situations. Don't change that.

    The game was unwatchable. We are really below par for a ACC team. It would not surprise me if we won very few games in the league. Why? A. No one on this team can shoot. Almost from any distance. Astounding. B. No one on this team can rebound. (Michigan is NOT a big team, nor a particularly...

    Any "Preppers" Out There?

    All your posts did were to disparage. What did you expect in return? Our spiritual covenant, which we would all sign and occasionally remind ourselves of in community, would however encourage us to welcome you and your family if you needed a good meal and an overnight as you pursued your...

    Any "Preppers" Out There?

    If what you're facing is Mad Max Apocalyptic World, then you're just screwed, especially if you're alone. Go and be well with that future scenario. Our view was a future with the majority culture stumbling "forward" in its somewhat miserable dollars-focus materialism, while we turn away from...

    Any "Preppers" Out There?

    My take is not the usual prep-popular one, but my feelings were (twenty years ago in my 60s) that the best way to live, period, (catastrophe or not) would be to be part of a small (100 person?) eco-village based upon Gospel of Love and neighborliness type principles. The eco-village would be...

    I saw Maria Jilian from Western Michigan University get 10 steals in two different games. She was the best I'd ever seen, male or female, at this. Hannah's 16 is a boggler. Maria used to utterly terrorize opposing point guards, to where they'd throw the ball to anyone else to avoid the...

    Any "Preppers" Out There?

    Making your home(stead) as self-sufficient (not just a large storage container) as possible must be the Base (just as Bluto said.) All intelligent planners know that. THE base is energy sufficiency. So, whether "perfect" or not, the only things that you can count on when the Big System goes down...

    And for THAT type of double/double it just might the largest totals in Bball history.

    This possibly just got easy. I believe that all we need is to win out, and root for both Alabama and Georgia to eliminate Texas and Oklahoma this week. Then, no matter what happens with the Tech/BYU dance, we're still in. The committee likes us. They are not going to let any three loss team in...

    Cowles is tall enough, but has no history of bulk rebounding. Maybe she can be convinced to wade in there.

    BabyIrish, you are always on the ball, for which I am sincerely grateful. I just wish that one of these transfers would have been a climax rebounder (even if she couldn't shoot a lick.) If we had ONE climax rebounder, all our defensive excellence and hustle would result in negative trips by the...

    Just watched some of the last game on You-Tube. Chicago State was not much of an opponent sadly. They had very poor ball skills and no real challenging "big" either. So we just rolled on cruise control. So ... I learned almost nothing. Hopefully the next game (a MAC opponent) will be more...

    Pennsylvania? It has given us trillions of great things. I'll pick two: Hershey's chocolate and Joe Montana.

    Don't get some of the commentary. Pitt and Narduzzi very much dislike us. They are not a bad team. This should be a brawl and we need to be ready and disciplined. In a way, this is sort of OUR most important game.

    About the Havlicek quote: Yep. I saw that OSU team play twice in the NCAAs --- Knight was a bench warmer. (Havlicek, on the other hand was an incredible stud. Bill Russell said that Havlicek was the best player he ever played with.)

    That KKK article was interesting to me since it appears to be constricting history in maybe even a lazy way. I have no doubts about all the detail about the 1924 Notre Dame confrontation, but that didn't end KKK attempts at confrontation like the article implies. I know this because my Father...

    There don't have to be. There are five automatic bids. Several of those don't have to be considered better than us. I believe that we're in too, but this is not grade school math --- there are many complications and commentators are pointing them out. It's all the SECs underneath A&M, Alabama...
