Things are going to get interesting around here….

[Mountainman]

… with the Buckeyes sitting at NUMBER 1, Georgia at NUMBER 4 and Miami at Number 5


I just want to remind those involved that we are professionals around here and that certain terminology used or referenced will not be allowed as the season progresses when referring to coaches, players, game officials or employees of TV Networks and members of the Press.

Partial List of forbidden terms:

IQ Challenged Donkey
Anal orifice
Someone’s Parents were never married
Male offspring of female dog a.k.a. SOB


If in the event there is a violation, further punishment will be sitting through Mass with me while I pray my beloved Mountaineers have a break even season while asking for forgiveness for uttering all of the above mentioned terms multiple times.

I don't put much stock into where team are ranked before November.

No one needs to be afraid of that Ga offense with Mike Bobo in charge.

I have been on, and will stay on the Fire Mike Bobo train. Not getting off it. NO idea why he was brought back.

Marshall had them....MARSHALL....had them doing 2 punts in a row.

[Mountainman]

I suspect it’s going to be a tough year for WVU and Marshall……. WVU with a new coach and a reported NCAA record for new players at 85 trying to implement a new system, and judging from last week’s performance he doesn’t have 5 players on the entire team that know how to block.

Marshall is in the same boat with a new coach too, but reports that the coach that left took every starter on offense and defense, along with some other, along with him to his new team.

All is not lost though, as the State has a good NAIA League of small colleges that are competitive in their league.

Looks like I’ll be spending more time in the woods this season, chasing and sneaking up on deer.

The transfer portal makes things easier for the top 10-15 teams and harder for everyone else. If Ohio State misses on a recruit they hit the portal to supplement and they effectively "cut" the players that they missed on. It makes if very hard on teams outside of the top 10-15 programs to be competitive. Even in spurts.

Ever have that, "Don't wanna Jinx it, by saying ANYTHING, feeling?"

That's this Guy: Cane from the Bend

I'll say this much.

Had you told me 3 years ago, that Miami would be starring down a potential Playoff bid while likely challenging for an ACC title, and that our Strength of Schedule was going to be bolstered by In-State Competition ... I'd have accused you of being a Casual Viewer, or suggested that your meds may need be increased by mg dosage.

Miami's up coming stretch:
USF
flurDah!
fsu

Now, even though the reptiles lost in the landfill on Saturday to the Bulls, with the score being a meager 18-16 final. The lizards otherwise played mostly better throughout the game. With only a few poorly timed penalties, and a couple of Offensive miscues ... ... ... and then the almost unthinkable, while you have the lead, keeping the So Florida offense in check, you have a guy Spit in the Face of a player, giving them 15 yards, seeing your defender ejected from the game, resuscitating the opponent's drive that allowed for them to get down the field to score a game winning FG.

Who'd have thought ""Shoe Gate"" would get upstaged by ""Spit Gate""

Same team too.

I remember a couple years back, where I posted something about the state of Florida football. The winningest teams that were at that time in the state, were 6-5.

Compare that with today, and there seems to be a rise back to the Sunshine Football, from decades back.

We shall see what Frost can do, now that he's back in Orlando. However, what he's taking over this time isn't quite the same as taking the reins from George O'Leary. Sure things went sour at the end of his tenure. Though, he built that program up to a 12–1 team in 2013, before hitting that downward slump starting the 2015 season 0-8 and retiring ⅔ of the way into the schedule.

Even with the bottom falling out, the infrastructure was already there, along with a talented roster.

Now, what Frost is inheriting isn't quite as win ready. Time will tell.

In any event, the state looks fun again.

flurDah! play in Baton Rouge this weekend. LSU hasn't looked to be the product we were sold in the preseason. If uf were to manage a win, then the game in two weeks would be a highlight showcase.

Right now, the Miami/fsu game looks like a heavyweight bout. So long as we both take care of business over these next two outings, it is setting up as the "First In" game for the winner, to an ACC Championship appearance. The loser will have to fight their way back into contention for the other spot.

This next Saturday is against the Bulls. It's a ranked on ranked matchup that is earmarked for the mid day kickoff on the CW.

What USF has done in their first two games, there is no excuse to be made. You cannot say you don't realize they were coming to play. The win over the lizards is proof beating Boise into despondency was no fluke.

Lots of talent in Florida…….. you can bet the Family Farm ole Rich Rod will be heading there looking for quickness and speed.

How are you liking the new QB?

I don't think he's a bad QB, maybe it was just being under Mike Bobo that caused his troubles.

I'll let you know tomorrow ...

I suspect he'll have to take some more chances in this game, if the offense is really going to open thing up.

After the win, last week, he said to the on field interview person:

Carson Beck:
The past 8 months have been hard. And I'm just so glad to have the opportunity to come out here and play again. Man, I Love these guys, I'm so proud of the way we played, we played so hard. And when we faced adversity, we got it done when we needed to. I'm just so glad and so blessed to play this game I Love. Man, everyone just Loves to compete. It's a real family, a real brotherhood. I'm so thankful for the guys around me. I'm so thankful for the way they worked, day in day out. I mean early mornings, late nights, it doesn't matter. And then we come out here and we execute when it's time, when it matters.

He also said this team has made him Love the game of football again. Which tells me he was in a place of weariness near the end of his run with Georgia.

Maybe you're right. It could have been Bobo's scheme. Or maybe he wasn't gelling with the team anymore.

I hope he finds what he wants in Coral Gables. Sometimes you just need a fresh start to reinvigorate your passion.
