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...

As far as Carver, as has been discussed many times, a new arena/location probably isn't very feasible, and I'm sure there will be some changes inside the arena. My criticism has always been the bowl construction and lack of any kind of statuesque appearance from the outside. I don't know if we...

On a side note, the Carver family is moving to Iowa City. Not sure if that's right away or in months, but that's the buzz I got from my daughter, who's friends with their daughter.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3VyuJoUtkI Every so often we need to be reminded. What a tragic loss.

I was always a supporter of Fran, but the more I reflect upon it, I think it was the right time. There's never a "good" time to fire a coach. Almost all recruits immediately take a step back and reevaluate. Many go elsewhere. That's just the nature of college sports. If an AD fires a coach...

I would never denigrate any college player maximizing their income while they can. The future is very uncertain for pretty much all of these young players. Cash in when you can. BUT, it cuts both ways. In the real world, with high reimbursement comes high expectations. That's simply a fact of...

Not a ton of surprises there. The offensive line will be interesting to watch. Lauck definitely will push Dotzler. Same with Myslinski pushing Pieper at RG. Pieper is the kind of guy coaches love, but he's really limited in terms of strength and athleticism. The interior of the defensive line...

What's weird is that isn't a lot of evidence pointing specifically at headers. It seems that there is something about the sport that lends itself to concussions in girls. I would surmise that it might be the constant sudden start/stops.

The exact medical reason is unknown, but they are also more susceptible to concussions. Women's soccer has one of the highest concussion rates in sports.

IIRC, he played there. That's a good fit for him, IMO. He'll be back home essentially and won't face near the pressure he would at a P5 school. I am a little surprised, though. I thought he would take a year off and hang in Indy for awhile before getting back into the grind.
