I currently have a taste for chicken kiev which, when prepared properly, is scrumptious.... Of course, could be rumbling stomach talking.... I also really enjoy shrimp and crawfish etouffee when made properly as well, so there's that.... :-)
I think the continuity on the defensive side of the ball will help alleviate some of the potential problems that may exist on offense, such as a new offensive playbook and philosophy. I'm hoping with that, and the reduced turnover rate, we increase the wins. Maybe an 8-4, possibly 9-3, season.
Interesting that the predictions for the winners by pomeroy for tuesday night games were dead on. Hope it holds for the Wednesday slate as those games seem to be more toss up than not. Just need 2 more to seal the deal as they say...
Just FYI so everyone knows, the video of the ralley they showed was from the 6 o'clock recording, same with that entire UM bit so the pictures that you've seen are more recent than that video.
Really liked Nuss's comments about the OL issues regarding everyone having a job to do. Hoping we see some of his thoughts come to fruition on the field.
So does that mean we won't get the roll in this years indiana game? inquiring minds want to know...

EDIT: So looks like my post got attached to the wrong comment. Should be attached to GoAway's post above. :-) Too much happy time during the game i guess....
I have some positives and negatives to take away from the game.
First the negatives to get them out of the way:
Borges = Debord 2.0 ex: Run up the middle doesn't work, gains 1-2 yrds per attempt so keep doing it. Quick pass to the flat gets you 6-8 yrds so abandon it.
Denard is not a pocket passer but yet we still try to keep using him as one. Get away from the pro style offense until he leaves, since he has too much talent not to be on the field, and we will be fine. ex: following the receivers before he throws to them resulting in interceptions; overthrows, late throws, under throws, and he had plenty of time in the pocket in this game to show he had what it took to be a pocket passer. I may get negged for saying this but is ok since I'm just giving an honest opinion of what I saw. Denard has plenty of heart and will to win. The coaches need to put him in a position that gives him that opportunity based on his abilities.
No identity on defense or offense. There didn't seem to be any leaders out there getting the team fired up, and working together. Maybe I missed something here, at least I hope so.
Depth, as stated on this site numerous times, reared it's head as players got injured and we didn't have a comparable backup.
As for the positives:
Younger players. There are several young players that look like they are going to be able to contribute early which is great to see and will be benificial as the season progresses to fill in our depth.
We seem to have some decent receivers with Gallon, Gardner, and Roundtree. Just need to get the ball in a position to make a play.
Offensive line is better than anticipated. With the turn over from last year we seem to be ok in that area.
We didn't get to see a field goal but the punting was decent as long as we avoid punting beyond the coverage.
Second half. This is still a second half team like last year. Alabama scored only 10 points I believe in the second half which is an improvement over the first half. The team needs to build off of that.

Does she play for alabama or west virginia?
If you understood that then you're a better man than me....
The akita would be a mike martin type.... extemely strong and quick, especially when she sees something she wants.

Appears to be reshown at 9:30 as well, FYI...
Thanks for the clarification.
Good information but on a quick note you have Iowa in your graphs twice. I am assuming one of them should be Michigan since they aren't listed.
I'm watching but not sure how much longer. Late game and already 21-0 in the first. ASU scores again and might as well call it a night.
Pepperoni's in the NE ATL area. Fun place and good staff.
Yakety sax on a loud speaker anytime they mention Te'o or show a clip of Brian Kelly would be fun.
