Re: FB at No. 24 JMU, 3:30 p.m., ESPN+

DLo started in Dec. He inherited a losing team on a downward trajectory We did not have good OLine and Dline for several years and they were getting worse every year DLo had to accept whatever HS recruits that were coming in and recruited from the same staff that got fired or not have any players a...

Re: FB at No. 24 JMU, 3:30 p.m., ESPN+

It’s gonna be a new team every year. Same coaches will have same results. Failed NFL guys won’t get it done. Like that failed NFL coach Nick Saban never got it done in college? Or that failed NFL coach Steve Spurrier? Tongue in cheek examples, obviously. But if all you are going to give people is o...

Re: FB at No. 24 JMU, 3:30 p.m., ESPN+

If you want to say hold off on the firing that’s fine, but you are completely giving DLO a pass for the absolute embarrassment this team has become. And i bet many on here would be a lot more comfortable with the whole “when his guys get here” stance if this year’s team had shown any level of impro...

Re: FB at No. 24 JMU, 3:30 p.m., ESPN+

People need to calm down with firing the coaching staff after one season. It's reactionary and emotional. This season has been one to forget for sure, but how many times did we have to listen to tirades and defenses of this hiring (or about getting rid of Coach Clark) because of how bad the roster w...

Re: Official Snowballs in Hell prediction thread

I'm holding out the tiniest bit of hope that we are bad enough in the players eyes that they're looking ahead a bit. Sure the fans won't, but what the fans think and what the kids on the field think many times aren't aligned. If we can get a jump on them before they wake up, we at least make a game ...

Re: Stink discussion

I think that after this season, via either graduation or portal, we won't have Dozier, Larkin, Dubinion, or Barnes. I also don't think next year's top 2 quarterbacks are currently on the roster. We will have all unknowns, including Roberts who knows what he will be like after recovery. I think we ne...

Re: Stink discussion

I am on the ledge guys, need to be talked back. I can’t see how we ever get back to sustainable greatness. It’s just going to be one off luck of the draw from here on out. It just doesn’t feel the same anymore for me. I love the name on the jersey and the place but no connection to the team. Hell I...

Re: Stink discussion

Swann can not run, we don't have that option with him in the game. We are playing the hand dealt (some we dealt ourselves, some inherited). Let's just say we aren't holding pocket jacks or better, hell we aren't holding consecutive suited cards, more like a 7-10 unsuited and the flop is 2, 4, J at ...

Re: Stink discussion

Hopefully we can get back to playing respectable ball next year and maybe every few years we can catch lightning in a bottle. This perfectly summarizes what every G5 program is going to have as its ultimate goal. Anyone worth a damn will be in the portal the second the season is over. We will have ...

Re: Stink discussion

Logan's has no clue what it means to be an App State football coach! Players have no clue what it means to be an App State player or Alumni! Period A lot of people wanted someone outside the ASU ecosystem to be the coach. This is what you get doing that. Satterfield leaving, while totally understan...

unfortunately my Disney plus subscription is through apple, which means I cannot get the ultimate package since you can only get that through Disney.

Re: Stink discussion

Looks like I'm going to miss this game as a YTTV subscriber. I did the free trial of Fubo to get the games last weekend but that expires today and I am not paying more for this game.

Re: WCU Football

7, 1, 4 (before injury)... Just to name 3 on offense alone. I could care less Power school, fellow Group school, FCS, DII.... If they can play, sign 'em up. That's the point. You have no idea with P4 benchwarmers. We got lucky hitting on three of them. And we have missed on both our quarterbacks. N...

Re: WCU Football

Last week I believe their QB set a D1 record last week completing 42 straight passes - that's impressive, I've seen guys warming up on the sideline or pregame dropping balls. Yeah we might want to get that guy out of the portal. He’s a monster. Problem is, he’s not the prototypical big bodied NFL s...

I was hoping to maybe get to this game since it's about 3 hours away from me, but unfortunately life with four teenagers gets in the way most times.

Re: This would be fun....G6 tournament

Any G-6 Tournament would not be fun because we would be relegated to the new FCS, Division II, Division III purgatory that we escaped when we moved to FBS. So how do you expect us to keep up with the arms race that is the current landscape of football? Like it or not, we are headed to the second di...

Is the reason the player is eligible because he never played in college before the G League?
I'm assuming the 5 years to play 4 seasons rule would still be in effect?
