We need him. But players acting like they can pick and choose what to do or opt in and out at will seldom works out. The sooner all those that are thinking about leaving get both feet in or out the door, the better.

If they want to play in the fall, they have until May 1st to hit the portal. The window closes after May 1 for immediate eligibility.

The NCAA has said that deadline starts next year. Giving them until July 1st this year, since it was decided on so close to May 1st.

Looks like you need to feed him more

We used to have little dogs and they would eat whatever was in their bowl as soon as it was in their bowl. Winston is a free feeder and sometimes will not eat all day until we sit down for dinner. As such, some days my wife will ask if anyone has fed him and we all just kind of look at each other with confused looks on our faces.


He ain't starving. I can vouch for that since he is a 50 lb lap dog.

basevols need to stop playing mid week games

basevols need to stop playing mid week games

They are 9-1 in midweek games, and the loss was on the road to RPI #11. Losses happen to all teams, and it’s good to pitch young guys.

They've trailed deep into many of those games. They're fortunate the offense is so good.

Good teams win games.

David Blackburn is a proven AD and Danny White isn't? The same Danny White who hired Lance Leiplod (37-33), Scott Frost (19-7), and Josh Heupel (28-8) in football. The same Danny White who hired Bobby Hurley (42-20), Nate Oats (96-43), and Johnny Dawkins (94-60) in basketball. Idk what Blackburn's hiring record looks like, but if it looked anything like White's he wouldn't be at MTSU or wherever he is. All records are the coaches' records at the place where White hired them. Outside of hiring, White is an elite fundraiser. UCF fundraised approximately 6 million in 2012. In 2020, they fundraised 35 million.

Great post. One caveat I have is that you will confuse many people when you bring factual information that isn't just someone's opinion being stated as fact.

 

[drvenner]

Yea, elite programs are in an absolute bidding war to get those coaches on staff.

Stay down

 

[Orange Studs]

Stay down

He can't do it. lol

 

[drvenner]

Hate to say it, but the adage...."once a knucklehead, always a knucklehead" comes to mind. We've heard stories about him for years.

Ever since he was like a Freshman in high school.

[drvenner]

Freak banned @Bassmaster_Vol and @engineerVOL by mistake.

Middleton has been in school for a long time. He debated coming back for an extra year. He was close to HT and QC, and all three were unhappy about the way things went down with Pruitt and the former staff. He seemed all-in, then started skipping things. QC did that for a while, too.

Biggest disappointment. He has the best measurable of anyone on our DL and is arguably the most athletic. Dude is completely wasting it.

I love how Hype is bring this team together and how awesome is it to see coaches having fun and enjoying each others company. This is how you change the culture. So glad we got Hype and hope he is successful and here for a long time.

These are the drives by QB for the spring game. I’ve scored the drives according to the defense that was on the field. Vince Ferrara provided the matchups. If the QB faced the #1 defense then all scoring is normal, i.e., a TD is 7 pts and a FG is 3 pts. If the QB faced the #2 defense, a TD was only worth 5 pts and if the QB faced the #3 defense a TD was only worth 3 pts. It didn’t matter which offense was on the field.

Orange shading is for the #1 units, Yellow for #2 units, and pink for #3 units.

It looks like Bailey was the only QB who had a TD drive with the #2 offense against the #1 defense. Of course Hooker did have a TD in the same matchup but it was a pick six so probably not really what we’re looking for. jmo.

Bailey had 3 drives with the #1 offense, Hooker had 2 and Brian had 1. Brian had 3 drives with the #2 offense, Hooker had 2 and Bailey had 1. Brian had 2 drives with the #3 offense, and Hooker, Bailey, and Spencer each had 1.

Brian had 6 total drives. Bailey and Hooker had 5 each and Spencer had 1.

It’s almost like Heupel was trying to make Bailey look good but given that he only faced the #1 defense once and that with the #2 offense for a TD drive, Heupel may have also been trying to not make the #1 defense look too bad. jmo.

If Vince’s data is right, I’m not sure how we discount Bailey’s performance. I’m working on it but so far the only thing I have is some opinions. The folks looking at the data suggest that the Kid’s performance was real. jmo.

Its amazing sometimes how players with so much talent become bust. Just throwing away a great opportunity.
