  1. Our volleyball and football teams both got punched in the mouth recently. Football then responded well enough against a decent opponent to leave Nashville with a win. It wasn't all that impressive, but they did survive a conference battle on the road and still have a chance to make a title run. Volleyball didn't get it done at home...twice straight. That makes today a total MUST win. After surviving that second set, let's see if they have what it takes to get their mojo back. I don't think any of us could be called optimistic, but we all hope they do
  2. "Them cheating' sips still got the media on their payroll."
  3. A #3 ranking for Penn State is even crazier to imagine.
  4. Elliott has big, big problems. I seriously doubt they get fixed this season, but I'd love to be wrong.
  5. Akana's service game remains horrendous. Make it stop.
  6. I realize Mizzou has a decent team. I'm just not accustomed to us having so much trouble controlling points. Even the ones we're winning don't really seem to be under control. We're scrambling to stay in points we should be dictating. This is our concern, dude.
  7. Nice service game there by Carlson. And much more solid net play by several ladies. Now...don't let this go 5.
  8. Just awful play all around. Errors galore.
  9. Sloppy so far. I'm fighting the urge to accept that this is simply who we are in 2024.
  10. Seems like a solid explanation of what everyone did on that pivotal play...right or wrong.
  11. In a way, I think Cole's problem was similar to Schwarber's on his feebly attempted strike 3 bunt vs. Houston in the 2022 WS: sudden vapor lock. Pressure can do strange things to athletes, even the great ones.
  12. No season that ends without a Yankees title is altogether unsuccessful.
  13. In nearly 60 years of watching baseball, I've never pulled for the Dodgers. At the moment, I hope they win this game by 40.
  14. If that happened to Diaz, New York would intervene and call him for facial obstruction. Runner safe, 180-day suspension on the catcher.
  15. Maybe Cam Williams missed his calling. He'd make a pretty good matador. But hey, I'm not putting it all on any one guy. The whole OL has underperformed lately. Too many flags and blown assignments. If that continues, and Ewers can't move better in what remains of the pocket, I have no problem trying an Arch package. And maybe a little more trickeration, while we're at it. (But save lining up Arch as a wideout for the playoffs.)
  16. That whole "fatherly advice" thing did wonders for Calzada. Fire up the BBQ.
  17. Our offense reminds me of a spring game. Sling it around a little. Make some plays, blow some plays. Huddle up and work on a few others. No obvious fire or urgency. Or so it appears from my couch.
  18. Williams isn't good enough to play. And in general, this team is showing the discipline of a 5-year-old.
  19. Wow. Eleven years earlier than aggy's last "natty" puts that squarely in the Pleistocene.
  20. From 3 hours SE of Nashville, enjoying the cool mountain air and awaiting a sound thrashing of the upstart Commodores.... TEXAS!!!
  21. Did we revamp anything with our S&C approach after several recent seasons of injury bugs? Not sure what actually can be done, but I hope we're now taking every available precaution.
  22. Thus my starting out acknowledging that I've been happy he's a Longhorn. I've watched every Texas QB play since Bill Bradley was at the helm and recognize that Ewers is easily among our most talented ever at the position. That said, elite QBs aren't playing for $100 handshakes any more. Whether we can lay off any of his recent issues to injury I don't know, but going forward he needs to play better or sit. That seems unarguable, no matter who used to be our QB.
