Yeah, I've been pointing out for awhile the benefits of Sanderson's coaching style. First, he recruits based upon talent and mindset, not record or battle-minded intensity. Second, he has implemented an almost Zen-like approach for preparation. The result is that his wrestlers stay relaxed and...

PSU has now added Ono, Duke and Blaze to an already stacked lineup. The separation of PSU and the rest of the wrestling world just keeps widening and widening. May the battle for second commence...

It really all depends upon what your needs are. If you are planning on occasionally hauling, towing, etc., then a truck can be a great investment. One of the biggest advantages is that there is no higher competition amongst manufacturers than the pickup segment. That has led to constant...

I agree that walk-on status is in the best interest of the program, but unlike Little Lick, this kid can play. He's not an elite player by any stretch, but from what I understand he's smart and has a good all-around game. His tape reminds me a bit of Jeff Horner.

Yeah, effectiveness in all phases is what Phil will be expecting. He has the rush chops, but needs to show he can consistently set that edge. I actually never perceived Craig as a "twitchy" guy. We haven't had that kind of an end in a long time. Even Clayborn wasn't what I would call twitchy...

What led to the downfall is that the site got overrun with spam, and the powers-that-be decided that it wasn't worth the time/expense to fix the issue. IIRC, Todd Worley had left a few months earlier as the moderator, and The Press Citizen struggled to find a replacement. Todd was a first-class...

Speaking of keeping forums alive, was anyone else here previously on the old Hawk Central forum when it was moderated by Todd Worley?

I still enjoy Disco and listen to it regularly. That said, like many genres, there's "good" Disco and "bad" Disco. Disco is all about rhythm and groove, generally accompanied by a rising crescendo going into the chorus. At least for me, there's a serotonin surge-like feeling with the music...

That's a good point. Personally, I think DE will be a strength either way, but if he can come in and contribute as a true frosh, all the better.

Mark my words, Llewellyn will be a huge step up from Deonte Craig. Hurkett is solid and consistent - kind of a "Jack of all trades, but master of none" type of player. Allen is intriguing, and may be the first "twitchy" DE we have had for awhile. In many ways, he's kind of the antithesis of...

I have a weird sense of optimism about the offense going into this season, something I haven't had for a long time. It's almost like there has been this "exorcism" of an evil offensive spirit. Just a different vibe. I think people are underestimating our WR group. The question is whether...

Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but this has been a major disincentive for me personally. I no longer follow the NBA and MLB for exactly that issue, and my fear is that it will gradually degrade my passion for college sports. I have an innate need to follow a "team" over time, see them develop...

I have some inside connections with regards to CJ. Ironically, the person who was the original connection that led Fran to recruiting CJ ended up being the same person that essentially sabotaged the relationship later. It all centered around CJ's lingering ankle issue. Fran was under pressure...

I'm not sure who you are lecturing to, here. Where exactly in my post did I express my approval of Trump's strategy?

Whether someone is a Trump supporter or not, you have to admit, he has balls (many would say it's more "lack of brain..." but that's a different argument). One of the major pitfalls of out democratic system is the disincentive to make any decision that would hurt initially, but potentially pay...
