I’ve been pretty critical of some previous winners chosen but pretty solid choice this year. Having watched all 12 Army games, this group is experienced, very assignment sound and “nasty within the rules”.

Enjoy watching them today unless you like squids. For that I really can’t help you.

Army OL wins Moore Award

Go Army! Beat Navy!

Dash has been 100% wong on this.
I present secret evidence Beck's cali trip was a Success.
Natty Back ON!

We all causally say that college football is becoming the NFL. Well, it needs to be managed similarly, too, and that's the model Belichick is introducing at UNC. He's got Michael Lombardi as his GM at UNC to build the roster and manage NIL.

This is going to be the way forward. I won't be surprised to see Kirby bring in a GM role soon, too.

I just want to caution us regarding Gunner and the playoff run. First of all, I’m not saying Gunner will fall flat or that we won’t/can’t win it all. There’s obviously a great chance for us to pull this out and I do believe in Gunner.

1. Everyone assumes our run game will improve vastly with Gunner at the helm. I don’t think this has no chance of improving, but we better hope like hell that it does. If the run game bogs down, Gunner isn’t Beck, won’t ever be, so we simply cannot assume he will be able to throw us out of it like Beck could. Not saying he can’t either, just unproven.

2. While bringing us back in a pressure situation in the SECCG was huge, we can’t assume the offense will have the same amount of juice as it did then. With three weeks in between, I don’t think the team will have the same emotional momentum as they did in that moment. That was highly galvanizing and that “feeling” of that moment is hard to replicate. All indications and rumors are that Gunner is a gamer under the lights. Let’s hope we see that. But there’s a realistic chance that shell shock could be a major factor. If you take the emotion of the moment out and all that remains is the pressure, could get sideways. Again, not saying it will, just caution here.

3. Rookie mistakes. Will they rear their heads? If so, to what extent? If Bobo can consistently put GS in good positions to win with scheme, and Gunner can limit boneheaded mistakes, I like our chances. But combine this with points 1 and 2, and things could get squirrelly quick. This is the least of my concerns out of the three though.

Overall, I love our chances in this playoff, though, even with all that being said. Love that we have Gunner in the wings and that the team has his back. I think our culture gets us through this, and Georgia beating Georgia is the only way this ends poorly. I think Gunner has what it takes, but Bobo has to help him out. Run game HAS to flip a switch, and I’m thinking it will. Pocket has to move. His slower motion and height will be an issue in the center of the pocket if I had to guess. He can’t play hero ball. Take the check downs and throw it away - no need to be Houdini. Stay ahead of the chains.

Bottom line: I call a Natty for us. Our culture and competitive fire are unmatched. I believe this is a storybook season for us. Greatest coaching job of Kirby’s career regardless. Team leaders are stepping up. Nobody has given up at any point. We’ve overcome more adversity than most teams have even faced. We got this.

Watched their Defense against USC. Also going to watch against Tech and Louisville.

- Primarily 4-down team. 44 is only pass rusher that might cause issues. No true difference makers. Do a lot of interior twists because of it too. Feel like they can be run on.

- Lot of man-to-man and heavy boxes. When in doubt, they bring pressure and trust their DBs to cover. Watts is a really good player at safety. Very aggressive.

USC OLine played below average and offense was inconsistent and they still put up 28 on them.


The two defenses that UGA might face are definitely different. Indiana better up front, not as great in the secondary. ND average up front, really good in secondary.

This and my post below are just what I saw today.

Please be careful about the posts you read on social media, etc. They are crafted to be hyper-emotional and it is intoxicating to read things which confirm (or seem to confirm) opinions we already have.

If you get a chance, can you go to the baseball board? I have a 3 part question for you. Thank you.

I don't know what's gotten in to @Anthony Dasher today but he has just been rude as hell! Biting people's heads off and just being a smart ass!
How does he doesn't know if Bear is having dinner at Kirby's house tonight? Maybe he is!
Maybe Carson went out to California and got into one of those Cryogenic machines they got and fixed his arm. It can happen!
Sometimes us Venters just want to pretend to have hope and believe in the impossible. Why won't he let us believe?
That yogi bear comment this afternoon just broke my spirit!
I think he has been drinking since noon.

First image I see is this...

Great job, young man! You're a DGD!

Have they thought about nuking the sun?

…this masterpiece headwear.., Login to view embedded media Absolutely glorious. He must have been a Herschel fan.

It all depends on the severity of his injury. I had this same injury, and it happened in exactly the same way as Carson‘s did. I was out for a week, but back at practice in one week. It totally depends on the severity of his injury. CB’s could be worse than mine was. But I did notice that once he got under center on the last play of the game, he had plenty of flexibility in his right elbow, got the snap just fine, and made the handoff with his right hand, in good order. Mine kept getting worse after football, and I had to have surgery on it in the late 1990s….been great since then. We should know something soon. It might be that he could play in these last few games, and have surgery after the season.

Does anyone know what sections our season ticket holders will get. We sit in sec 129 at home games. I know it's based on points for order given out, and we requested tickets. We are going no matter what, but hoping we get tickets similar to our seats in Sanford. Anyone have any clue?

His buyout is 10 million dollars till June of.......2025!! Lol. Then it drops to a million. Any NFL team could walk in and hire starting June 1st. What a joke of a commitment to UNC.

Do we know when he’ll be back?

Saw where he was diagnosed with Liver/Pancreas cancer.


He was one of my absolute favorites back in the day. Freak ability to get open deep, high point the ball…his rookie year in the NFL is the stuff of legends. Such a unique talent, and I really like him as a TV personality too. Really hoping he makes a full recovery.

it can’t be a Die Hard ‘cause it doesn’t have Alan Rickman or Bruce Willis. But it’s pretty darn good and worth the watch.
