Re: Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!
How many seats will be included in the east side expansion and how much does it cost? Assuming it's $80M (up from the $50M three years ago before construction costs skyrocketed) and 3k seats at $1,500 each, that's a 18 year payback. That doesn't pencil out. If we receive large donations for a porti...

Re: FB vs the fake ASU Saturday at 2:30
Also, still find it odd that we kept letting Arky get out of bounds on their last drive to stop the clock. The old "prevent" victory defense. Way too soft, no blitz, it's how you play if you are up 10, not 6. This was our pass D all year .. whether in the 1st Q or last minute of the game. Not sure ...

Re: FB vs the fake ASU Saturday at 2:30
Players will generally galvanize their collective efforts based on one of two factors. 1) they love their coach, or 2) they collectively hate their coach. Guess we’ll find out soon, which it was I’m not suggesting either one over the other here. The team played hard the last two weeks which is a go...

Re: Hanging on for 26
That’s a tall order. Road games at State, ECU, Marshall, Coastal and Southern. Can’t really assess the competition until after portal and spring ball, but looking at it as is now, those are going to be challenging games.

Re: Hanging on for 26
Hard to do your job when the HC/OC is in your ear telling you what to call each play. Hahaha. Good point! Is this something you guys know was happening? I’ve been told by multiple independent sources that there is friction and that DLo meddles with DJ’s play calling. To be fair, any singular source...

Re: Hanging on for 26
I am as disappointed as anyone but I have fond a few things to hang onto for 26. No I didn’t see the players or the coaching we will need to compete for Sunbelt championship. But I’m hanging onto three things for 2026. I did see individual players improve over the season. Just naming a few, Mbake, ...

Re: Gillin
I get the sentiments that someone’s head has to role to make some of you feel better, but what makes one think that Gillin’s head is it? Is it because the other guy cost too much? Gillin has bosses and they approved these decisions. At least two of the BoT sat in on the interview process and they to...

Re: At Mercer
We dont have a consistent number 2 scorer. Njock is a bit of a dissapointment to me. I was expecting him to step up this year after sitting out last season. He looked great on what recruiting film we had on him. I figured he would be at least out #2 scorer. It seems like we keep getting pretty good...

Re: FB at No. 24 JMU, 3:30 p.m., ESPN+
The argument against last years staff was that they were in year 5 and the program has cratered under their watch. This staff is in year 1 with an abbreviated offseason and is producing the exact same results with less continuity and less playing experience. Don’t you think that proves in of itself...

Re: FB at No. 24 JMU, 3:30 p.m., ESPN+
I get your point but if we were 10-1 nobody would be pointing that out. The Patriots had a toxic environment but people called it the Patriot Way because they were winning. I kept reading people here and on 247 complain of lack of coach continuity as to why the offense would struggle and we should ...

Don’t read more than is written. Your jump to conclusions mat should stay in the closet. Now you’ve done it. You made Saint and I see eye to eye. No one is calling for his job because of the on field product. And yes, you need to trust the process. However, there are instances where situations occu...

Anecdotal, but he's not engaging during Mountaineer Walk. My kids no longer break from the tailgate to watch it. For years they would stop everything to make sure they got to participate in that. That is not shocking. I wish he would but I am not going to call for his job because he does not do it....

Nothing better to do type people Exactly. Some folks have time on their hands and just look at is as something to do. I get that for sure. It just sounded from a post that some folks were really upset about not getting in. That’s supposition from someone that has “heard” that and decided that it’s ...
