    Cats and Clowns Kickoff the Season

    We honeymooned there in 2003. Over the course of two weeks, we went south out of Dublin, down to Kilkenny, then Waterford and over to Cork. We stayed along the southern and western coasts and spent time at the Dingle peninsula before flying out of Shannon.

    Cats and Clowns Kickoff the Season

    You would think that Dublin would see this as a rare chance to showcase. I know there's been rain off and on, but those field markings look pretty amateurish and subpar.

    Kirk Breaks Down Position Battle

    That was perhaps Hayden Fry's best trait as a HC.

    DL "too good to be true"

    I would temper the enthusiasm regarding the d-line a bit. We are pretty solid at DE. Not hyperboly, but I genuinely think that Llewellyn has potential All-American potential. He has monster written all over him. Just needs the reps. We are VERY thin at DT. God forbid, but if Graves gets hurt...

    Preston Ries

    I've been high on him for awhile, and felt that he was one of those "under the radar" guys that Iowa seems to have a knack for finding. My gut thinks that he will transfer his skills well. He reminds me quite a bit of a young Chad Greenway. Kirk always (sometimes to a fault) gives the veterans...

    Stealers' best draft pick

    I assume you're referring to pass-protection. In most instances, the issue is not blocking per se, it's defensive recognition and being able to identify the unblocked defender. Alignment recognition and figuring out which defender is coming free is a humungous challenge, especially for rookie RBs.

    Michigan Sign Stealing Punishment

    And, as expected, Harbaugh lands on his feet. For a blue-blood program like Michigan, temporary revenue loss is easily surmountable, and suspending coaches for a few games is all about optics. Irrelevant. If they really wanted to be serious about this, the NCAA would have cut scholarships by...

    Swing and Miss............... yah think???

    I don't have an X account, so can't view the replies, but I'm assuming he was called out a fair amount.

    Higgins!!!

    He may not be the best athlete on paper, but no one is going to outwork or out-hustle him. In the preseason, he's auditioning for the entire league, so every play will help him.

    Trey Thompson

    I was living about 10 minutes away during the filming of FOD. My uncle was a stand-in during the "book burning" debate at the HS early in the movie, and can be seen clearly several times.

    Hawkeyes Dismiss Gabe Arnold

    Yes. No doubt. I have faith that Tom and Terry made the decision in the best interest of the program, but, hopefully, it won't be another Seth Gross story, where he left, matured, and became a consistent title contender. Well, at least that some of the weight class competition concerns clear up...

    Music Thread

    Remember it well. It all started with a local DJ who started to denounce the music on the air. In later casual interviews, he made homophobic slurs and basically exposed his biases and true motivations. He definitely wasn't alone, however.

    Carter Starocci Alleged Misconduct

    It will be quite interesting to see how PSU handles this. I agree with Fry, the administration is not going to want any further tarnishing of the program and will likely bring down the hammer. As far as Sanderson, you can bet though that every effort will be made to distance him from the...

    No Bassett Decommitted

    Not surprising at all. My guess is Taylor was eventually able to sway him. I'll be surprised if he doesn't end up at OSU. The battle for second just gets a little murkier now.

    Music Thread

    When Disco was at it's peak, several groups sought to take advantage by recording tunes of their own that incorporated that distinctive Disco tempo and pacing. Many are actually quite good and are on my iPhone playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJo3Rq5Fubc...

    The Fever and The Pacers: Really Fun to Watch

    The GM for the Fever basically stated that. They wanted someone who was tough and physical, and a bit of an enforcer. And, yes, much like adding Oakley. The Bulls probably handed Oakley a "hit list" of the entire Pistons front line...

    Man, this just isn't fair...

    All of that could take place and we would still be 60 points behind PSU at nationals.
