Prior to injury, Qua was our best defensive player.


Injury aside he never came close to living up to his reputation. Never more than a flash or two, here or there. If someone spends big money for him, they're really rolling the dice. And that's not sour grapes.

Indians is cooking today in the portal. That Bama win gave them a ton of credibility.

Or, more likely, the Mark Cuban money is paying off. Players are after the green now, nothing else matters very much anymore.

There is no way we practice live tackling.


If Curt Cignetti is to be believed, Indiana doesn't run drills, and hardly has live practices at all. Doesn't seem to have hurt them, or maybe he's just lying.
The reach around in the Weekly World News front page photo was a genius detail.

Oregon, Miami, Michigan, and Texas Tech are deep pocket schools also active in the portal. Haven't heard them mentioned in the Cam Coleman sweepstakes, but they're potential participants.

Possession type receivers (with the exception of Cuevas and Germie has had his moments) are missing from this offense.


Lotzeir Brooks and Isaiah Horton have made some big possession catches for us this year at critical times.

Bear Fretwell may have suffered a torn ACL in practice for the Max Emfinger All-American Bowl. ?


I hope that's not the case. He has great speed for an OL, I was looking forward to seeing how he would do in our offense.

We didn’t factor in the altitude


The altitude in Denver, Colorado didn't seem to affect JK Scott.

If you want to see a secondary that is noted for punishing tackling, then just skip right over any Bama film.



Unfortunately, the game has changed. Punishing tackling often leads to targeting calls now. It's more important to just wrap up and make a sure tackle, you have to pick and choose when you can lay the lumber these days. We still make some big hits, but you can't afford to lose players for targeting.

it wasnt the score .. it was the fact the offense did not have a single first down and had less than 10 yds total

We had horrendous field position during that stretch. Plus a focus for the game was likely to avoid turnovers early on like we had in the first game. Once field position changed, things turned around. It was good to see Brooks start fair catching the kickoffs, that helped us not start off on a hole.

I've wondered all season long why he's not the number 1 back, but then again, I thought Josh Jacobs should be starting rather than Damien Harris.


There's a lot to like about Hill, but he's been a little injury prone.
?heridan is well liked by our players, and has been a big part of our success in recruiting QBs like Keelon Russell recently.

Maybe it's my imagination, but Ryan seems to have most of his drops on passes where he has to jump and twist to his right to make the catch. He gets contorted into a position that makes it awkward to catch the ball.

How did officials screw OK???


Looking through an OK fans perspective, I can see how they could convince themselves of that. Proctor had several egregious holds that weren't called, but naturally their fans didn't notice the OK offensive linemen doing the same thing with no flags. The catch by Germie was a close call (but the right one in my opinion), had it been called the other way, it probably wouldn't have been overturned on review. Faga was maybe right on the verge of drawing a flag several times for spearing Mateer a couple of times, but OK got away with at least one roughing the passer against Ty.
Fans see things through fan filters.
They should give him an extension, but increase the buyout on his end (which is now relatively low). That would be a signal of commitment from both parties.
Losing our staff, including Courtney Morgan(and half our players at this time to the portal) would be devastating to our program.
Maybe it would help if we could also substitute Boise State's defense for Oklahoma's, Auburn's, and Georgia's.

And you'd be wrong. I pick the ammo, pull the trigger and skin the deer. I see all of the damage every time. Not just my deer but my dad's, brothers, nephews and friends. We all use multiple calibers and bullets. I've been hunting for 40 years.


I've hunted deer for over 50 years. Used a 30-06 (or a 270 Winchester) for almost all those years. I field dressed skinned, and processed many dozens of my own deer, and hundreds of other people's deer (that hunted in our club). Almost everyone hunted with a 30-06 exclusively. It was not uncommon for there to be no blood trail due to the bullet fragmenting, and not exiting. Sometimes part of the bullet almost made it out, and sometimes it never escaped the body cavity.

What is the evidence that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is Omar's brother?


I haven't researched it personally, but I've read that there was only person in the United States at that time with that name (her brother).
