Would you rather see Donaldson rotate with Clark or Scaife going forward? Scaife played fine Saturday but has struggled all year and it looks like they were rotating Clark and Donaldson. Also, how do you think the d will do this weekend against a very solid UNC offense?

1. How much do you think that the offseason, new coaching staff, addition of new players (specifically King and Roche), and this year's on the field performance have contributed to a change in culture? One of the key drivers of success twenty years ago was the players motivating each other - whether it was in the locker room, at practice, or just the overall competitiveness of trying to keep one's position. Is it coming back? And can it be sustained?

2. Blast From The Past Question: Chris Walsh was a celebrated recruit back in the early 90s, but never took the field because of "a hitch in throwing motion". How was this missed in evaluations, and why couldn't it be corrected?

3. Former WCW and WWE Champion Sid Eudy (Sid Vicious, Sid Justice) was often lambasted as "Softball Sid" for seeking to take portions of summers off to play his favorite recreational sport. In an industry that gave no vacations, has no offseason and ran its performers 300 days out of a given year on the road, was Sid justified in taking the occasional summer off as a means of preserving his long-term health?

1. Should Blake James be held accountable for voting to allow Notre Dame into the acc as a one year rental knowing it was highly likely that ND could take Miami's spot in the acc championship game?

2. How bad would the ACC look if ND actually wins the acc championship then leaves the conference holding the title? Could this do long term damage to the ACCs reputation and effectively destroy any chance of an ACC team getting the benefit of the doubt when it comes to playoff spots and bowl selection?

3. Dan Mullen to Texas, how delicious would the Gator Tears taste?

Will Donaldson start against UNC

If you had one game to win, who is your quarterback (among guys who played at the U)?

I think Jim Kelly is our best QB ever, but I might go with Steve Walsh

 

[JOE'CANE]

What is your score prediction for the UNC game? What is your signing day Headline? Will Miami land any surprise whales or big fish on signing day? Which players should come back next year?

 

[SinisterCane]

Just curious on how many spots do we have for the 2020 class since we’re nowhere the 85 player limit?

With how Keontra Smith played last week, how do you see the rotation playing out going forward for 2020 with GB3 and Smith? It seems like striker is going to be a strength going forward, what do you expect will happen in 2021 if Smith shows he can’t be kept on the bench during the remainder of 2020? Chase smith also adds an additional wrinkle into this in 2022.

What dew ewe consider too bee the single greatest individual athletic achievement in a game, event, ore athletic challenge. Eye considered Alex Honnold’s free solo of El Capitan, Tiger Woods first Masters when, the first for minute mile, the first person to swim the English Channel, etc. Four me, it’s Bob Beamon’s record shattering long jump at the Mexico City Olympic s inn 1964. What say ewe?

When I was in college, I had a professor who told me that the people who make money in the future are going to be the ones who turn data into information. He foresaw the rise of business intelligence and data science by 20 years. At the time, the pat answer was that computers were the future, much the same way we hear that STEM is the future now. Given the rapidly changing environment around automation and productivity, where do you see the big opportunities for teenagers to focus that will sustain them through their careers?

1. Better change-of-direction hoops move: (a) Tim Hardaway or (b) Earl the Pearl Monroe?

2. For those of us that grew up in NYC, “Skelly” was a popular outdoor youth game played on a yellow painted relatively larger square on the ground / cement (usually within a park) with various numbers painted in smaller boxes within each corner, the sides, and ultimately the middle of the larger square. The goal is to flick a bottle cap – typically filled with wax – across the cement from the lowest to highest numbered box and the first one to do so would be the winner. With all the coronavirus stuff and 6 feet social distancing, do you foresee “Skelly” making its presence known in South Florida as the newest popular outdoor youth game?

3. As of now (already a disclaimer for you – lol) who do you think would get drafted first; (a) Blades (assuming he returns to the team in good health) or (b) Ivey. Both have had good and bad plays and have unsurprisingly been bashed and praised on these boards; although it appears that Couch has been replacing Blades and not Ivey.

4. Do you believe that a kid who can skim rocks multiple times across the water will make a good college QB someday; all other things being equal? Would you limit it to those QBS that have more of a sidearm throwing motion? And are you aware of any QBs that have honed their passing skills performing these rock skimming activities?

5. Many people have criticized our DBs for not turning their heads on pass plays. Just how easy or how difficult is that to do and is it dependent on the route being run, the speed involved, and other matters? Probably easy for the Matrix guy {Keanu Reeves} but perhaps not as easy for someone running full speed to catch up to a WR [and given of course that some will say the DB should never be in that position in the first place].

6. True or False. The graph of f(x) and that of f(x + 2) are the same?

7. What are your thoughts on the continued usage of Chapter 558, Florida Statutes a/k/a Florida’s construction defect statute? In general the intent of Chapter 558 is to allow for a pre-suit process during which parties would resolve their construction defect disputes without having to incur the time and expense of a lawsuit. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Every legislative session, however, there are proposals for amendments to the statute that some plaintiffs might say make it unreasonably more difficult to comply. Should we just abolish this statute(s)?

I say the 4 minute mile. People started officially trying to break the 4 min mile in 1886. Wasn't accomplished under 1954. Almost 70 years of failed attempts. People thought it was physically impossible.
