Are you really advocating taking a safety instead of risking a punt return for touchdown? Statistics aren’t going to support your strategy, I’m afraid.

A safety is worth 2 points, a TD worth 6. So you would have to be giving up a TD on 1 out of every 3 punts in order for you to “break even” with this strategy. This year, Utah has punted 33 times,…[Read more]

You’re out here doing the Lord’s work, Tony. Thank you.

Yep, and I love it! Very different dynamic from traditional American sports, but fun in its own way.

OSU is our best matchup. We will be out for revenge, we lost a fluke game on the road last time, and we will bring a ton more fans. It will be a home game this time.
OU is our worst matchup. They’re a wounded rattlesnake. They will be cranky and looking to bite someone. They will bring a lot of fans to Vegas.

Never. Play. Those. Twats. In. Any. Sport. Again. Ever.

Yeah, it’s stupid, but explainable. Group dynamics have an interesting effect on human behavior.

Man, I hope we absolutely escape the Colorado game without targeting suspensions or injuries this week. nm

1. They’re both frowning.
2. They both look like badasses.

I like my life.

There’s a special place in hell for guys like this.

Its a spelling epidemic that so many people spell lose as loose.

I hate to be that guy, but…

It’s also a spelling epidemic that so many people spell “it’s” as “its”, like you did. Its is a possessive, meaning the act of belonging to it. It’s is a contraction of “it is”.

Here’s an easy way to not make the its/it’s mistake: Read the sentence…[Read more]

Canada is getting pretty good at this CONCACAF shithousery thing.

Best part of the whole thing: Apparently Mexico asked the Canadian federation if they could practice in their indoor practice facility yesterday…Canada denied it because a youth girls team had already booked the facility. That’s right: Mexico’s national team got back-burnered by…[Read more]

With plenty of rest since Dos a Cero, Berhalter has no excuses not to trot out a first-choice lineup (minus McKennie, of course). We need 3 point here. I think we’ll get them.

Anyone who’s ever managed people knows that the quickest way to lose their buy-in is to throw them under the bus publicly (whether it’s deserved or not). If I were coach, I would do press conferences exactly the way Whit does. Praise specifically, criticize generally.

The last scenario you listed is the one I’m afraid is most likely to happen.

Under Armour: “We must protect this gross margin and shareholder value!”

Yeah, our whole group is floored by how many rebounds Anthony gets. He’s a glass eater…one of those guys who just knows where to be to get rebounds. That said, I still think rebounding will be our Achilles’ heel in conference play. Teams with size are going to kill us on the boards.

But I really like the direction this team is heading. It will…[Read more]

Actually I love that decision, if that’s what it is. Why not feature a huge rivalry game featuring two good teams just because it’s FCS?

I wasn’t going to get pissed no matter what happened, because after Aaron Lowe was murdered I promised I would just be grateful that the team is strong enough to press on, and I intend to honor that promise. The fact that they’re putting together a good season is just gravy.

See you at the basketball game…
