It really seems like this is getting far less attention this year than normal. We must never forget what happened that day.

No. 79 overall and No. 28 among public universities.

Quick question for the board. I have something to do on the morning of October 12 That I would like to do but RU football takes precidence. Does anyone have an idea of what the Kickoff time could possibly be? I know that there are a few people on here who are really good at figuring this stuff out. Any inklings as to possible start times?

Just got mine. Section 235 row 4k.

Man Bye weeks are suck, nothing to look forward to for another week

The game will be televised on the ACC Network.

I suppose it may not be officially announced until two weeks before. What are people’s thoughts on what time it will be?

I’d say we were saving it for VA TEch, but there were six of them Vs Howard so it’s not like they aren’t on film. Strange.

1. Kyle M is damn good. He makes our team so much better.
2. Antwan R is going to be very good, he is 2b RB right now. If he can prove he can pass protect well he is my 2A
3. Our OL is better but we have some issues with speed rush ends.
4. Athan K is better than GW, but he still worries me at times. They are giving him a longer leash and he makes some questionable throws. That being said he is hitting things we could not last year. I think he is a B/B+ QB in the end (which is all we need).
5. The passing game is much better. Dymere M is as advertised. He creates separation, runs good routes (he is better underneath than I expected), and gets YAC. Chris Long is coming back into where I hoped he would be last year. The two of them are a good combo.
6. IS has to catch more than curls at this point.
7. Want to see some underneath stuff to Chiristian D when he is healthy.
8. Kenny F is having a solid B start as a TE. He is making plays, blocking decently, but he is making teams respect him. We still do not have a post up TE or WR in the middle of the field.
9. We badly miss Tyreem P on defense.
10. We badly miss Wesley B on defense.
11. Damn shame we lost MT for the season. This defense right now has 1.5 LBs. Once TP is back I think we have two good LBs. The rest struggle with gap recognition.
12. We have had 3 huge glaring Blitz/coverage mistakes in the last two games. The two today were the WR wide open and the TE running up the seam. Both were on blitzes and both were miscommunications in the coverage. On the TD both the safety and CB blitzed, zero shot both were supposed to. On the TE seam route the LB passed off the out route but didnt get eyes back inside.


This team has a shot, like 2006. But unlike 2006 we do not have our Devraun Thompson yet. We need our LBs to be our attitude setter and missing MT and TP is killing us right now.


Bonus. We kick off, punt, kick FGs, and snap the ball well.

I think the last thread went pretty well, so I think I will continue our fun until it doesn't make sense (e.g. if we start losing games). Once again this is just for fun, so there is no need for the "why create a thread when we are never going to make the playoffs" posts.

Boy did Notre Dame help us.

Last week didn't go great for our chances. Our thin red line to get into the playoff got thinner. Iowa lost as I had hoped, but also Michigan lost, Penn State and Oregon didn't look good in wins, all this led to giving the press the excuse to continue their love affair with the SEC giving them 6 of the top 7 spots in the top 25. That is VERY problematic for us. Forget about us if it wasn't for the gift that Notre Dame gave us if the season ended today OREGON would have missed the playoff. This is why we need the SEC to eat their own on conference play. But lets talk about the good things:

-That ND loss is the worst loss I can ever see for them. They went from almost definitely in to almost definitely out. They need to run out now even with just one more loss I can't see a scenario short of total chaos that they get in. If its for example a 10-2 Mississippi State team with losses to Georgia and Tennessee vs ND with that NIU loss, they are taking MSU every time. I'll even argue that this loss may be the starting point of them considering getting into a league because they will be shut out. That opens up a spot in the playoff, which we desperately needed.

-Illinois beating Kansas was a big deal as we want the Big 12 knocked down a notch and at the same time this will give us a quality win on our resume if Illinois is a bowl team at the end of the year.

-Arkansas losing to Oklahoma State gives us another SEC team to root for. As you can see above we now need Arkansas, Texas A&M, LSU, and Florida to win some games against the top SEC teams to knock a few of those out of the playoff

-Syracuse beating GT helped as we need the ACC to be a 1 bid league. We just have to hope Syracuse doesn't go in a run.

-The Iowa and Michigan loses help us in our standings, however rooting against Michigan makes us root for USC, which may be problematic for us, putting us in the 5th spot instead of the 4th spot in the B1G.

The teams we are rooting for next week:

-The game of the week for us is Wisconsin and Alabama. Alabama losing there would be awesome for us.

-It would be also great if BC beats Missouri, but then we have to be careful of BC making a run.

-Same goes with Wake Forest and Ole Miss, but I would be shocked if Wake beats them.

So sit back and enjoy the ride!
