I think I saw the problem. Idaho was up 6-0 and UA kicked a field goal. The scoreboard on the TV feed showed Idaho up 9-0! Could it be that UA was scoring at will and they kept giving the points to the Vandals? There must be some explanation for this….oh yeah, like GG’s circadian rhythm. Every 4 or 5 years he’s a big success. Bad programs rebuild, good programs reload. No excuses with the portal. Admittedly, two of their first three games were likely to be losses and the win over LIU was underwhelming. I’ll give them 4 CAA games to right the ship and then turn out a winning season. Anything less is unacceptable. Put on your coach of the year hat and get it done!

To quote Jim Mora :”Playoffs?? Playoffs”??

No reason to go to the games, no reason to buy season tickets, no reason to sign up for FloSports, no reason to contribute to GDAC. Another lost season from the looks of it. Pathetic defense and impotent offense. Why do we even bother anymore?

Over and out. Not even competitive. Back to Gattuso the Loser.

The O Line should be a strong point…it’s not so far.

O looks ok. D is a shadow of last year.

I fully understand that this is the new normal, but I don’t like it and don’t have to participate in it. Who are we supporting? At one time you’d expect a recruit to stay for four years. It’s clearer and clearer that the top players in the major sports are little more than hired guns, mercenaries if you will. They have little or no regard for the institutions they represent, the fans that support them or the scholarships they receive. That’s why it’s so hard to support any effort to enrich them for the benefit of a few wins. I’ve thought long and hard on this and that’s the way I feel. I don’t blame the players for taking advantage of the new rules and new system, I’m just unwilling to support it financially in any way.

No. Not contributing a nickel to this….or GDAC. They want to make money, get a job….sell themselves. If a person or a company wants to sponsor them, good on them. Free enterprise. But not on my dime. They’re getting a free college education and 90% of them will not make a pro roster of any kind. The free education ought to be enough. No. No. And no.

Greene just upped the ante.

Burkett seems to be finding the range…make me eat my words Myles lol.

This guy actually won the QB competition? I know that they’re going up against a P5 team, but at least throw it in the vicinity of the receiver.

A month ago I had an after golf beer with a fellow who was very active in football alumni and fundraising at a northeast FBS school. The feeling at this particular school was that NIL $ was primarily going to be used for retention (hold on to your best players) and essentially scholarship expansion. So it may well come to pass that there won’t be so much cash flying around for luring transfers except for blue chip players.

Thanks. Maybe the game plan was just that. LIU had a decent game against Baylor just last season so I was expecting a win, but that they’d put up a fight. So many new bodies on D and the tackling machine no longer in the middle. Was the TD from the D a strip sack or something else?

Won a game where the stats show they were outplayed by an NEC team. I guess that’s a positive. Lots of work to do I’d imagine and lots of gelling needed for the new troops and lots of new game film for the coaches to chew on. A win is a win although less than impressive and inspiring.

Help me out here…it’s 3:28 am in Spain…I’m watching live stats…are game conditions bad? Is Burkett incapable of throwing a pass downfield? I’m blind.

Easton has been waived by the Jags.

It must be very hard for the players, coaches and GMs to make decisions based on pre season games. Usually, the UFAs and low draft picks are going up against similar level opponents rather than first teamers. I’d presume that there’s a lot more they can learn from camp, scrimmage games and one on ones where the can pit these guys against their best players to see how they respond.

Easton caught 2 for 33 including a TD from Mac Jones. The Jags receiver corps looks stacked so hopefully he can hang on to a spot on the roster or practice squad.

I think there are multiple factors why NY does not have big time state college sports. Three that come to mind are: SUNY wasn’t created until 1948….one of the last state university systems. Cornell, our state land grant college, was once a national power in sports and has the student body and endowment to be big time now…but sports were deemphasized in favor of academics and the Ivy League didn’t keep up with the rest of major college athletics. As others have mentioned, NYS is a genuine @#$& show in terms of politics and infighting. Controlled pretty much entirely by NYC metro area liberal politicians, I see little chance that anything will change in terms of the trajectory for big time sports. NYU was once a national power in some sports, but then deemphasized athletics. It’s a massive school with a massive endowment…but went in another direction. Not a state school I know…just another missed opportunity for a big time university in the state. So much of what makes big time athletics work comes from tradition, passed down through generations. My three siblings were all born before SUNY was even created. And I’m a senior, but not ancient (except for some mornings when I question that). Go to Columbus, Ohio…you cannot escape the Buckeyes. Go to Albany…I’m surprised when I see UA logo apparel. Just the way it is. No family memory, no tradition. Other states had a huge head start.

Julian Hicks had a couple of nice plays for the Pack vs the Browns. A not easy 24 yard reception and 14 yard end around. Easton had a 5 yd reception for the Jags.

Wait until you hit 70. It’s like fast forwarding a DVR.

“Emma from three….YES!”

Kind of. Yeah, sure. I also remember a guy named “Spud” I think. Looked like he stepped out of central casting for a tough as nails WW2 type…t shirt, grey crew cut. My memory could be bad…it was the early 70s after all. I don’t recall him at games, but was def the go to guy for university issued stuff.

Having watched Norte Dame MLAX now for 6 quarters, our team losing 14-9 was not bad at all….not bad at all.
