I wonder how many more fights Liddell has in him now. Evans just knocked him into next spring with the punch.

onto the Florida game. I think we're getting close. We just need to get our young offensive players some experience and confidence. We are there on defense. Bill Young coming over from Kansas was an awesome hire. For 3 quarters we were there against Florida. I think we needed to take more chances on offense though. Our OC was playing way to cautious to have a chance to win the game. Still not happy about the play being overruled. I thought you have to keep possession of the ball after hitting the ground, which he didnt do. With the ACC sucking, I think we could contend for an ACC title game appearance. While I dont think we'll win every game from here on out, I do think every game is winnable for us. Something I wouldnt have said last week.

He was sort of a friend of mine freshman year of high school, so I'm just curious what you think about him... He was awful in high school, but it seems like he's grown some and has actually improved a bit. He definitely has character issues, though, with his DUI/possession of ecstasy charge a couple years ago, and the fact that he attended 4 different schools before getting into Miami. Dont know much about him but I dont think he'll ever be someone who gets a lot of playing time. A lot of Miami fans were shocked that we went after him to be honest. But his dad is loaded and our athletic dept. could use some donations down the road.

congrats chimpy! must be refreshing to know a new era is starting for the noles. Hopefully Bowden doesnt have the quick hook when Ponder goes through his struggles.

The plane never showed up, and later UNC learned that the plane mistakenly flew over Dukes stadium instead and dropped in with UNC parachutes and gameball to the Duke-James Madison game. Nice. haha. well atleast only 12k fans saw it.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 02:26 AM) Their coach wasn't the problem today. Their offense was not the problem. Heck their defense wasn't the problem. Their special teams was big time. If Zook sucked so much, he wouldn't have been able to beat OSU at the horseshoe last year. Ron Zook is suppose to be a special teams guru though. He isnt a good gameday coach. I dont want to say the win over OSU was luck but even a bad coach will win a few games he shouldnt. And youre kidding yourself if you think of Zook as being a good coach. He is an awesome recruiter though and that will get him to a bowl game every year.

giving up 42 points is not a sign of a good defense. Mizzou's defense will be the reason OU will win the Big 12 this season.

This is why the SEC is so much better than everyone else. They have so many elite coaches in that conference its not even funny. Clemson has talent but Alabama is so prepared and basically shut down Clemson. Look at how many coaches in the SEC have national title rings. Saban Miles Spurrier Meyer Fulmer Then you add Richt, Tuberville, Petrino, Nutt. Unbelievable.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 10:22 PM) Correction, their special teams is not very good. And Maclin is a sophmore, isn't he? Correction, their head coaching is not very good. Illinois needs to stockpile recruits for another two years and then get a good gameday coach in there. They'll win 7-8 games a year b/c they'll be able to out-athlete teams.

wow, Arkansas State just won in Texas A&M 18-14.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) I still think it was a stupid move to give Buehrle that contract... He isn't an ace like White Sox fans make him out to be. he shouldnt be a top end starter either. He'll have his moments but he has more bad outings than good ones these days. atleast football is starting up now.

nice to see MB still cant get out of innings.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 05:39 PM) Thank God Virginia Tech red-shirted Tyrod Taylor. Sean Glennon is a miserable QB and will take VT out of contention for the ACC. I feel pretty safe in saying that the Washington State Cougars and NC State Wolfpack are the two worst teams in D-1 this year. Duke can finally celebrate. Hawaii is going to be really bad too.

I'd love see a Lesnar/Couture fight. Would be pretty good.

anyone have Pitt's athletic dept. address? I'd like to apply for their head coaching position that should be available real soon.

bigger story is how much Lohan has fallen that she has to go after the likes of Orton.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 05:10 PM) Clones on national TV tomorrow night, if you have FCS. Don't confuse us with USC. damn, I hope you guys dont play USC anytime soon. I wouldnt be able to tell who is who.

Alvin Mack: s***, defense is gonna have to pitch shut-outs now...

well Marve has the tools but Harris has the head and a pretty good arm too. Won back to back titles in high school so he's a winner too. Guess we'll know more about our QB's after the Florida and Texas A&M games.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 04:45 PM) WTF? Well if Ken decides to stand up and bang he'll lose his 8th out of his last 9 fights. If he works him on the ground then Kimbo is exposed. I dont think Shamrock will be able to get it to the ground unless he rolls for a knee and somehow scrambles to top position. Shamrock has really never been good at getting takedowns against guys who know what they're doing. I want Shamrock to win b/c he could use some good pub but I see another Kimbo/Tank type match happening.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 10:06 PM) Not that anyone cares here because we suck, but I really hope D'Vontrey Richardson gets the QB job. He was the sleeper behind Drew Weatherford and Christian Ponder. However, in practice he's been performing very well. Drew Weatherford is in his 4th year and still can't move the ball, Ponder has a sore throwing shoulder, and EJ Manuel is going to red-shirt. D'Vo provides some spark due to the fact he can throw and run. He also is a really good baseball player. However, he didn't play during his Sophomore season to focus on becoming the starting QB and I guess it could be paying off. Jimbo Fisher really likes him to so that helps. In the end though, I bet Drew will start because he's a 4th year player despite not doing anything in the previous three years. Hopefully since our first two games are jokes, D'Vo will get to play and show what he's got. This season could be rough though. I hope not, I can't take another s*** season. problem is that Bowden has thing man crush on Weatherford for some reason. It's almost to the point where he knows exactly what Weatherford will give him and he's scared to take a chance on something new b/c it might take a few games for progress to be made. Getting rid of Weatherford will just help speed up the getting better process at FSU. Kinda like us getting rid of Wright and Freeman. Just pisses me off that Marve got injured last year b/c we couldve started the new era a lot sooner.

have a day AJ.

anyone ready for a walk off Grand Slam?
