Hey guys, random question -

I usually just do a sub & chips tailgate, but I wanted to take things up a notch this weekend by actually grilling.

I had originally planned to use my Weber Q (propane) grill, but apparently only charcoal grills are approved (no open flame).

Question: What do you do with the charcoal when you are done? The stadium website says you place them in designated yellow bins, but how does that work? Do you have to wait for them to cool? Do you add water?

Sorry for the noob question -- I should have paid more attention to what other people were doing.

I was expecting a bigger jump from him this season. My uneducated guess is he needs to gain another 20 lbs
without losing much speed. He'll (likely) benefit from concentrating on football full time. I don't see them moving him to DE. What else am I missing?

For me it happens in a couple of weeks when the transfer portal opens again. But it's not just about who comes in but who leaves. If a good number of players who are actually playing enter then I'll be concerned as that would mean that the kids aren't buying into what's happening. If they stay and believe in keep chopping then that's what's important to me.

It's back after a brief hiatus.......

Was working from home for a bit ut back in the office now!!!

Went to the Temple game - wife said we sucked (as she sat in the sun all afternoon sweating)..... lol Hopefully a bit more offense this Saturday!!! Go RU!

Remember, some can still return next season.

There seems to be something different about his demeanor this year. We all know how intense and control freak he was the first time around but it's beyond that. He seems to really go off the handle at some inappropriate times. Does anyone else notice this or is it me?

I think that has to be the story of next week. Maryland is good but not as tough defensively as PSU. Gavin needs to give us 20+ points to make a case not to bring in a QB who is sold on a legit chance to become the immediate starter - maybe more. It stinks. Not going to be a great message for future QB recruit studs if he doesn’t work out. But we can’t afford to put everything into a guy who is as inaccurate to this point as Wimsatt has been without seeing sizable growth next week.

Only caveat and some won’t like it either - somehow Vedral gets approved for an injury redshirt. With a year to rehab, perhaps last year’s version of Noah could be an insurance policy. No idea if that’s even in the running though.

Yesterday an improving Vanderbilt team beat Florida and a piss poor Georgia Tech team beat UNC. When will RU win a game against a perceived superior team under Schiano? Even GS's first game against MSU turned out not to be that big a deal after that season was over.

Sure ….

It's about roster construction. It's a yearly game now.

We've seen it multiple times this year where he just doesn't seem to understand basic game principles. He has scrambled multiple times towards the insides and just run out of bounds or taken a sack when all he has to do is throw it away to save a loss of yards. This is something I understood as a 4th grader playing football. How can he not know this?

The weird thing is, I already feel about 10% better as my psyche is taking less of a hit than thinking about football. As I type, the Royal's nanny just grabbed the two kids she's responsible for and threw them into the van and they drove off after there was an attack of some sort. The Prince couldn't help because his security detail pulled him back. There's another 20 minutes for it to all come together and him to propose to the nanny.

One punt return for a few yards already

OK We've blocked punts. I get that. But on punts where the punt block is clearly not on, we make no effort at a punt return. Time after time I've watched the opposition's outside gunner run right past our defender who for some reason, turns and faces the middle of the field without even attempting to slow the guy up. Unhindered, he bolts down the field and forces a fair catch or buries our returner. WTF? If you're not going to even touch the guy, why waste a defender out there? Put him inside as another rusher. Or maybe, just maybe AC could have some success if we actually set up a punt return. I took me years to understand why our DB's don't turn and look for the ball. Could someone please explain this latest piece of strategic brilliance for me?

There’s no sugar coating it. This needs to get better.
Pike needs to seriously do a better job getting his team ready for OOC road/neutral site games.
Last year we went 0-3 in OOC games away from home with losses to Umass, Seton Hall, and DePaul.
The year before that we only had 4 OOC games, all were home.
The 2019-2020 season we went 0-2 in OOC road/neutral games with losses to Pitt and The Bonnies
And then today we came out flat AGAIN. This keeps happening. It’s a real trend. Other than Seton Hall, these teams are average at best. We have been absolute garbage in OOC games away from home for over 3 years now.

So, other than the 3 non Offense TDs, the run game was the deciding factor.

On D, our line was rough. It’s troubling. Are they just young? Too small? All of the above? All of these were just up the gut or off tackle gashing runs.

Prognosis for the future? Unclear. Need some portal “big fatties” to stop the run. We have Lewis on the edge.

Harasymiak is good. He needs some weapons

On O, my main question is, why no designed QB runs with a guy who can do it? Keep them honest. Try it. Is he still hurt? Protecting him?
Also Salaam flashed some promise in first half, then he’s on the bench.

There’s no doubt Brown will be the stud next year. We will be better in the run game.

Next week is winnable. Need to go out on a positive note.

Yea, I've been told that several times in my youth not to sleep at Temple. 😁 I'd be bilingual if I heeded that advice.

In regards to Temple Univ Basketball, they are beating #16 Villanova 31-18 with 4 min left in first half. Villanova will likely win this game. But Temple is better than what they showed with Wagner.

Growing pains of a Young Qb. It seems like one step forward and then 2 steps back. He still flashes here and there. He’s also playing against top 10 teams. Not Nebraska and Iowa. But I’d like to see him not miss screen passes. HS kids can make that throw.
