    FSU Not Stepping Up on NIL

    Pay Payton (Miami Northwestern) has entered his name in the Portal because FSU isn’t stepping up on NIL for him. He’s one of their star players on the DL. Two other defensive players from FSU are also considering Portaling out for the same reason. Interesting.

    Observations on the FSU Game

    Proud of the team for fighting hard against FSU & putting us in a position to tie the game on Emory's last drive. The whole complexion of the game changed when Bissainthe's sack of Travis wasn't ruled a safety (absolute garbage). IMHO, that's the ACC wanting a team in the CFP. FSU is the most...

    It's Time for Change

    According to footballstudyhall.com, the odds of winning when your turnover margin is minus 4 are about 7%. We've been living in the 3-5 turnover range for the last four ACC games started by TVD & we have a 1-3 record in those. TVD had three INTs & a fumble against NC State. He’s had ten (10)...

    Random Observations on the Ga Tech Game

    We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on this one. Tough loss after such a great start to the season. Really unfortunate timing with a big game against UNC coming up next wk & so many prominent recruits in the stands. Disappointed the offense had its worst game of the yr. TVD flat out...

    Open Letter to Coach Cristobal

    Dear Coach Cristobal, Like many Canes fans, I'm really encouraged by the tremendous infusion of talent at crucial positions such as OL, DL & LB and the progress made on the field so far this yr. The future looks bright if we continue to stack talent in recruiting & have a really strong yr this...

    Observations on the UConn Game & the Season

    Congrats to the players, their families, the coaches, the admin & everyone associated with the program for an amazing season. With very limited exceptions, this team played a beautiful brand of basketball that was fun to watch. Being Co-Champs in the ACC for the regular season is one heck of...

    Congrats on Huge Win & Areas for Improvement

    Huge win for Canes Basketball today against Pitt. Congrats on an awesome Regular Season & being ACC Regular Season Co-Champs (Champs in my book). It's been a fantastic season so far. Let's keep it rolling. As much as today was a great culmination to a very strong regular season, some...

    Off-Topic Football Is Coming Home

    It's coming home, it's coming home. Football's coming home!! For you Yankees that don't know, we call it football in England. And...football will be coming home! The 3 Lions look mighty strong having scored 12 goals so far with the only slight blemish having been a rather surprising draw...

    Random Observations on the Pitt Game

    Thankfully, this season is over. Grateful we didn't make a bowl. Time will be better spent on recruiting & overhauling every aspect of the program. Being offseason champs has never been more important. The '23 Class is loaded with Impact Players. Finishing strong on the recruiting trail is...

    Grant DuBose (Stud WR Has Entered the Portal)(Now Withdrawn)

    Grant DuBose (a WR with next-level talent, over 160 catches & almost 1,700 yards the last two seasons) has entered the Portal with the intent of moving from the Charlotte 49ers to a higher profile program that can help get him drafted. I haven't watched film but others speak highly of him &...

    Random Observations on the Clemson Game

    Despite a poor performance on O, we actually had a small glimmer of hope at one point in this game (after Jake came in & threw a TD and then was driving for a 2nd quick score). Proud of the team for fighting & not quitting (even when down 26-3). Our D stepped up in Q3 (although Clemson's...

    Quickest Fixes to Salvage the Rest of the Season

    Here are the easiest changes that can be made to put on much better showings the rest of the season: 1) Adapt to Your Personnel & Pass the Ball: With a depleted OL, WE DO NOT HAVE THE PERSONNEL TO ESTABLISH THE GROUND GAME. Mario said in his post-game presser that Jacurri was chosen to...

    Random Observations on the FSU Game

    The outcome was attributable to a variety of factors, including but not limited to: Poor decisions Horrendous tackling Poor blocking by OL Very poor playcalling on offense Drive-extending penalties Poor personnel decisions Lack of physical play (except by the DL, Brantley, Jacurri, RBs & a...

    Random Observations on the UVA Game

    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...my nose typed all of those after I face planted on the keyboard during this "high scoring thriller." But hey...a win is a win & there was some suspense at the end. While the offense was far from dynamic there are some positives coming out of this game...

    Random Observations on the Duke Game

    A painful & embarassing loss to mighty Duke Football. Snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory on this one. Started slow again (in terms of scoring) under TVD. We were down again & only had 7 points when he got injured midway through Q2. Hope TVD's injury isn't too serious. Jake came in...

    Random Observations on the Va Tech Game

    A win is a win...but this went from being comfortable to a nail-biter fast. Way too many penalties (including some really d_mb ones) and poor tackling were the primary reasons. Overall, no complaints about not running more because the OL & RB rooms are depleted & it showed by the end of the...

    Random Observations on the MTSU Game

    Jake Garcia is the more accurate passer & sparked the offense. He was put in too late (after we already had a major deficit). Jake should be the starter going forward. Turnovers & poor offensive play put us in a huge hole. We have to have a more explosive offense and score points or we...

    Random Observations on the TAMU Game

    A missed opportunity...a big one. We made more untimely mistakes which combined with ultra conservative decisions, cost us the game. We played to keep it close...not to win. The D (especially DL & DBs) played well. They likely would have held TAMU to <=13 pts without the muffed punt (and the...

    Kam McGusty Appreciation Thread

    Kam McGusty turned out to be one heck of a player for us. He also showed tremendous poise and was very eloquent in front of the media. He was a great Ambassador for the University this season. Major props to Kam for all of his achievements. He made this season one heck of a fun ride for...

    Get the Hirings Done Now

    With so many job openings at top programs...and very few quality HC candidates to fill those...the time to act is now. It sounds like we've reached terms with our new AD so let's get it done. In this instance, the early bird will get the worm. Yes, these are important hires (crucial to the...
