    Dune Pt2

    Saw part 2, last night. I'm in the minority. Visually appealing, but bad story telling. Terrible character developement. Long, plodding, and a complete bore - minus a couple scenes. I had zero investment in any one, or the story, and was begging for it to end. It was soooo bad, that I'm...

    Viewing in the Boston Area

    I watched many a game on fubo. Others show up on Nesn. When on ACCN, adding that to your streaming service usually does the trick. I didn't have any streaming service, last year, and managed to find streams online. Total PITA, and not exactly above board. Thats a total last resort. (And...

    OT. Belichick out

    I may just be doing the old guy thing... In MY day... lol Brady vs. Manning should have always been a National Holiday. (Same deal with Belichick vs. Dungy or Andy Reid) Drew Brees, Favre. Throw in some backups with Rodgers, Rivers, Stafford, and fill out the practice squad with Big Ben...

    Coach Nitron Stork

    Nitron is a lock for the All Name coaching team. KingJoseph made the cut this year, and Fran just landed another for the coaching staff. Fran just wins. My favorites this year, are Sanfrisco Magee, Willie Nelson, and Myles Davis. Boo Carter sounds like a baller...

    OT. Belichick out

    I love that story. Brady worked harder than ANYONE. Bill put him in the position to have a very well coached team around him. They won with soooo many average players, people forget. 2 of the best to EVER do it. NFL won't be the same without them. Side note. I wonder if the NFL will...

    OT. Belichick out

    Brady must have been coaching the def, too...lol Brady story, told by Rodney Harrison when he joined the team. 1st day, Harrison shows up an hour early, and Brady was there. He didn't like that, so he shows up a couple hours earlier the next day. Brady was there. The next day, Harrison...

    OT. Belichick out

    Nahh. Although, I think Dante Scarenechhia(Oline '99-'13, '16-'19)was a big reason for both of their success. Philly ran Andy Reid outta town. Lol. Belichick is a good coach.

    Strength and Conditioning Program

    If its your 1st year? Maybe. During spring Ball, and in Season? Nope. That amount of body fatigue isn't good. You have about 6 months for any significant gains. If you're benching 400 in HS, that takes an accelerated off season program, and starting in 8th grade. Most still won't hit...

    Class of 2023 JUCO DL Michael Nwokocha (TX) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (1/8/24)

    Love this!. But also. What up with that? Usually when the hips are loose, they also explode out of their stance. Bend usually goes with change of direction. Big guys should loosen their hips, every day. (Rolling, etc.) I like the shuttle when looking at hips. I'd expect this guy to hit...

    Liked this kids feet and aggression. Looks good to me! Seems all over the map, on recruiting sites. Is he still a 4 star on rivals? (They are stingy)

    CFP Finals: Michigan vs Washington

    Its still true that you win in the trenches. That, and Michigan's secondary made Penix pedestrian, all night. I'll take the more physical team every time. I like teams that can win rock fights for a reason.

    When a kid commits to Arizona, Texas, Miami - heck- any southern school? I want to be the reporter that asks, "Does it being hotter than BALLS there factor into your decision?" Then I'll wish them well, on avoiding heat stroke, and casually remind them to hose down the elderly...

    Absolutely. Of course, most of the other northern universities get about 60 inches of snow. Cuse gets about 120 inches. We're twice as good. Best in the P5. Sanders only gets 90. Kids like snow. They aren't shoveling. Go big, or go home.

    6th in ACC. 12th transfer. However. If you do by recruit grade Average, we are 7th in transfers... Top ten. We were 73, last year. A nearly 40 point jump is huge.

    Class of 2020 OG Micah Mazzccua (PA) Portal from Florida to Nebraska

    Bring in Texas de Brazil, and put them in a Meat Coma. I don't care if its a chain. I've seen big men's eye's glaze over with pure sadness, when they realized they couldn't eat any more. ;'-) This almost never happens.. Bring in the same amount of Dino BBQ, the next day. They will REFUSE...

    Class of 2021 OL Da'Metrius Weatherspoon (PA) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (1/3/24)

    We'll see. He was beaten around the edge a few times. I liked some aggression in the Run. I can see him at guard. I'd rather see more film, before passing judgement, though. Seems a quality add. We need all the quality we can get.

    Tom Caporale: New Director of FL VA and JUCO Recruiting

    No. I'm guessing Fran said, if you don't do this? You don't matter.. I've had the privilege of eating at Dino's house a few times. A really good guy. I think Fran is dropping a Hammer on Cuse football. This way, or die. I like it.

    CFP semifinals 1/1/2024

    Yeah. I dont care. That's $$. Not on the field. Regular season matters. CFB doesn't want to admit that the 1st 7 years of the CFP had a big ACC narrative. Conference dbags like Finnebaum will tell you they are the only ones that matter. SCREW them. I'm pissed at FSU leadership, but I...

    5 Couldn't care less. They are our conference, and thrown to the curb. When my wife asked why I was swearing at 'bama? I showed her how the Tide was ranked 5th, and had no place being in this game. Screw bama.

    I think there's more to work with on the OL than others

    My hope is that Fran uses some power run concepts. We pretty much ran zone. ZBS and power are equally effective, depending on personnel. That is not in question.. Smaller agile guys excel in zone, bigger powerful guys like power. I'm old school, so I prefer power. (Different debate) I...

    I didn't know this. Otto is 1 of the 1st Ten voted into the College Mascot Hall of Fame. Received the highest percentage of votes! It's ridiculous that an Orange is a loved, recognizable mascot, but it is... Sometimes you don't mess with stuff. Other mascots are trying to be...

    The kid is right. Official Otto is outta whack, furry, and looks like someone drew it on a napkin - But he"s oddly endearing. His look like teenage Otto. Trying to be tough- and cute at the same time. Love Borkowski's tough Otto's. Good graphics for a Big game. Cute Otto is listed in...

    FSU vs The ACC

    They wouldn't. Are the top 12 doing playoffs at bowls? If not, bowls will be far less interesting, going forward. The new reality is transfers and opt outs. I'm guessing CFP keep many in - or perhaps teams will allow outgoing transfers to play? Those games will matter. I wonder how many...

    FSU vs The ACC

    9 opt outs. I dont blame them if its draft prep. The way it is everywhere. Transfers and injuries. The other new reality. Bowls mean less. Even moreso, next year. FSU being left out was a $$ shaft. I dont care if they clown them back.

    So, who are we going to close with?

    Strength and Conditioning Program

    Bad form = getting hurt in the gym. Form Nazi's are annoying, but they protect your body. I'm not sure how individual, the lifting plan was. Many lifts will be the same, regardless. Mixing it up is normal. HC is going to want his guy running SnC. Nutrition can be the larger challenge.

    Strength and Conditioning Program

    If the ncaa allows it, they should do whatever is possible. If you're lifting/on a diet, you need a food prep day. I'll spend 2 or 3 hours on that - just for me. Not sure if restrictions have been lifted. They didn't want athletes eating lobster and caviar, while others were not. Or...

    Strength and Conditioning Program

    Archaic? Of course. An institution following rules from a larger institution. FUBAR. If a kid needs a class for his degree, and it's at 8, he needs to go. Should practice start at 5:30 AM(minus warm ups) When the kid gets home from meetings past midnight? It wasnt too long ago, that...

    FSU vs The ACC

    Apologies then. I think FSU being left out was a Diss to the entire ACC. I dont care that they are making a stink. Looks like they'll be without 20 players, for the bowl. 2 WRs listed at RB? Good. I dont care if they take a knee, every snap. Sure. Sour grapes. But if the advertisers...
