He should get no extension. We beat one FBS team with a winning record (Troy). The next best team we beat had a 4-8 record (ODU) I think. We lost to a 3 win team. And two of our wins were against VERY POOR FCS teams.
I just hope we find out either way, soon. I wasn't able to go to the game today, (my MIL is dying), or I may have been able to get a feel for the situation. To Ian's credit, information is harder to come by than it used to be.
Regardless, I would try to hire the Wofford HC or DC for our staff. They are defensive minded and know what they are doing. We need someone like that. At least someone who has a clue, or that can spell defense.

Did it appear to anyone else that most of our passes were to the sidelines, rather than down field ? Has been this way for pass 2 or 3 games, if my memory is correct.

Speaking of Wofford, that's where Peter Aluma's son plays basketball: https://woffordterriers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5567

Didn't know that. I was hoping to get up to the Burg this weekend for his HOF ceremony and the games, but didn't make it. Peter looks so different now, I wouldn't know him, if he would have walked right past me. Always loved that guy. He spent a fair amount of time at my house and ate many meals there. I swear he had a hollow leg, because we could never fill him up. He would eat two steaks and still be hungry.

What does this mean? Anyone from the English department to translate? Lol

Personal: Born December 31, 1998 ... Son of Bruce and Bethany Copeland ... Father, Peter Aluma, played for the Sacramento Kings and the Harlem Globetrotters.

2 possibilities are his mom remarried or he may have been adopted. He is starting as a SO for a very good Wofford team, and is second on the team in rebounding and 4th in scoring. About the same size as Peter was at that age, 6´9¨ 230.

Yes. It´s really been that way for a couple of years, but even moreso recently. Our offense has been totally predictable, and one major reason is we don´t use the entire middle of the field, especially the TE.
