I may be the only one who feels this way, but I would like to make this point.

I wish you all would start deleting posts on here, where "know-it-alls" tell us that certain players are going to FLUNK OUT. I've seen people come on here, and name names of certain players, and tell us that they are going to be ineligible.

And, it looks like that in many (if not all) cases a lot of these "experts" are wrong. We've seen several kids names dragged through the mud on here---and apparently most of those are going to get their grades....after all.

So from now on, could we wait until there is official word that someone isn't going to be on the team (i.e.--Horton, Gilmore).....before we allow people to come on here and trash kids who might be in good shape academically?

Just a request.

That is the purpose of message boards...

If you start censoring that kind of info, that is just going to be that take off point...you have to take the good with the bad.

Trying to censor a message board is like Papelbon crying about Yankee fans in the Bronx boo-ing him...that goes with being a Red Sock

I will second this. We don't need to be posting info on kids grades or something we suspect about a kids grades. Just let this kind of stuff come out in the media if the school chooses to release it.

I think censoring is the wrong word.

Substantiated claims is what I believe is the point here. Can you confirm you accusations, provide some proof or reference if you are going to "sling mud".

He's right that unfounded rumors and hearsay are the lifeblood of online forums, this one included.

I have no idea how the Papelbon reference fits with this, though.

If we can roll back, who gets dibs on the Q/Quinn goodies?

I'm not here to tak about the past, so here's the solution.

Good rumors that are later verified get 1-5 "Action Quinns:"

Bad rumors get disapproving - yet sex - Johnny Quinns:

      Nebraska just proved the 3-3-5 defense is trash

      Yeah, having that level of play at the position is great for any formation, but I think you're kind of watering down the point here: If you're a 3-3-5 base coach, and you want to work at a G5 school, you face a massive uphilll climb without that DT playing at an AA level. We are seeing this scheme fail over and over because, as we are learning, even with elite play in the back 5, it's nearly impossible to compensate for a 3 man front that is facing 5 men other side of the line every single down. Counterpoint: I don't think the answer is necessarily going back to a 4-3. Don't be surprised if in the next 5-10 years (or less!) we see an evolution on that side of the ball, where your formation has 4 up front, but they get creative with the back 7. Might be worth investigating what has already been done with a 4-2-5.

      I don't think Leach ran the the 3-3-5, but I could be wrong. I think these air raid guys think it's such a great defense because they all want to continue to pass even when the pass is not working. They refuse to switch to the run so their thinking is this 3-3-5 is a great defense instead of thinking maybe I should switch to the run to beat it. So, they hire a DC thinking it's the best defense instead of realizing their offensive philosophy is the problem.

      Other Games 9-21-2024

      James Madison 46 - 21 North Carolina. James Madison just got a pick on North Carolina. The Dukes are up 46-21 with 6 minutes left in the 2nd quarter at 3-0 UNC. Rice 0 - 28 Army at the half. Yikes. Tulane 17 - 10 Louisiana Lafayette. Haven't figured out Tulane yet. They've played well but seem to play to the level of their opponents.

      I have to agree. Illinois has a pretty solid team, and I thought Nebraska's defense looked better than it has in recent years.
