There are some rumblings among the AD’s of G5 schools that a new playoff format is needed to insure that G5 schools get a fair share of the financial pie. One of the models being proposed is a G5 only playoff at the end of the year. What are your thoughts on this or any other format currently being ...
I hate those dhaky starts!
I agree that a changeup can be a very effective pitch if thrown for strikes. However, what gave me the most trouble as a hitter was facing a pitcher with 3 different speeds. That middle speed, usually a breaking ball, between the hard stuff and a changeup is very difficult to adjust to and usually l...
Sorry Ballcoach-I’m in the middle of purchasing a house in Tennessee and haven’t had a chance to watch our ladies play. I appreciate the updates though and look forward to seeing some games.
The CFP just adopted the 5 plus 7 model for the 12 team playoff playoff. I’m starting this thread to solicit your opinion on how this affects us now and moving forward.
As always, I enjoyed the interview with DR. If ever there was a “glass half full” person, she is it! I hope her optimism transfers to the players and gives us a year to remember!
Enjoyed the game immensely-first one to see in person this year. IMHO, we beat a taller, more athletic team because we are better coached!. Ball movement and ball security was outstanding. Great move by coaching staff to take Porter off of #3 and either double him went he got the ball or let Venzant...
A book by that title, which is an excellent read, seems very appropriate in the aftermath of this season. For me, it’s all about the process and the excitement that accompanies the journey. Jamie Chadwell was hired one year ago and immediately lost 50% of his roster. He proceeded to rebuild the numb...
A quick follow up to my reference to the number of punts. I just went through all the box scores. We punted a total of 30 times over 13 games. However, 3 times we punted once and in the CUSA championship not at all. Also the data is skewed to the front end of the schedule. Perhaps, points to a growi...
If we have to punt more than once, it’s “trouble city”!
LU -34
O - 48
After 12 games (missed 3), DD leads the team in receptions and yards. He’s 3rd with an average of 11.8 yards per catch. Excellent season Demario!
JMU falls in OT!
17-5 App State early in the fourth!
Even if that team is from north of the James River, Ballcoach?
I’m not so sure that JMU losing would be best for us ( believe me, I understand the ranking logic). It might be more satisfying and more beneficial to meet them in a bowl game and settle this on the field ruining their perfect season.”
Just read the bios on the 6 signees. On paper, looks like a strong pitcher in Allen and a big power hitter in Meeks . The latter has hit 53 homers in the last 3 years.
Should be interesting as always.
It was enjoyable watching us move the ball on offense. I also liked the mentality of attacking the basket by our guards. Venzant is all world defensively!
I think HCJC is an excellent coach! Judging by his
pressers, he is also a perfectionist. Regardless of the record I’m sure he is looking at all facets of the game planning.
Once again, the question goes beyond what the statistics show. If our defense was significantly stronger there would be no argument. Because of disparity between our offense and defense, does that make us an outlier?
I read that article also. Statistics, as we all know, can be deceiving. ”Hoping to get a stop” doesn’t have enough teeth for me. The better point was made by JK37 when he asks how often do we score on our 1st possession. I don’t have that info but I would sure like to know especially in light of the...
I’ve been giving this a lot of thought the last couple of games. Because of the overall disparity in our performance on both sides of the ball, my gut wants us to have the ball first so we could be the “chasee “ and not the chaser. Of course, I realize the objective of deferring is to get back to ba...
Did I miss a year? At my age it’s a distinct possibility!
Amped for this game! A “W” would result in us hosting the conference championship on December 1. Go Flames!
