7 years 4 weeks ago personally i'd take this season

personally i'd take this season, if only because the future seems a lot brighter for a much longer time with this team than the 08-09 team.

7 years 4 weeks ago chicago

anyone in chicago and going to the bars for the game?

7 years 21 weeks ago the play i was referring to

the play i was referring to specially was on the first play of a drive, both wisconsin safeties shifted down into the box

i do notice that the coaches are changing up the plays from the sideline, but on a standard first and ten play like that, denard needs to look up and realize both safeties are in the box against a called read option and send the slot on a seam route

7 years 21 weeks ago one more area of improvement/development

with two years left of development for denard, one thing i do want to see going forward is improvement in his ability to read and adjust according to defenses

i can't recall seeing denard calling many (if any) audibles at the line of scrimmage

on some of the plays against wisconsin, they were read options; however, wisconsin was in a flat cover zero.  what i hope to happen with a junior or senior denard is him recognizing the coverage and audible into a PA seam route

7 years 28 weeks ago martin will stay

with the impending lockout and also uncapped season, i highly doubt martin will leave for the nfl, i'll still knock on wood just in case though *knock* *knock*

7 years 28 weeks ago the indiana touchdown

the indiana touchdown at the end of the half is listed as EOH, the indiana points per possession should be 2.91666

the total points per possession would go up to 2.11666

it's never a good idea to post ticket pictures w/ the barcode showing

7 years 30 weeks ago does someone have statistics for tate from last year?

because if memory serves me correctly, i believe tate had an exponentially better passer rating while scrambling on the run than standing in the pocket

7 years 30 weeks ago i could be completely wrong

but i think lane kiffin's trying all the two point conversion just for practice.  all those conversion attempts have come against hawaii and minnesota (perceived bad teams) and frankly why not?  it's always good to have in-game experience for situational plays and if they ever need to use it in a key game, they would have the added advantage of experiencing it plenty of times in actual games

7 years 30 weeks ago regarding the defense, i agree in most cases

that good/bad defense should not affect the 4th down strategy; however, we also have to take into account our defensive play-calling strategy.

With our "bend-don't-break" defense, we are expecting opposing offenses to move up and down the field and on with the caveat that we can hold them to field goals once they get in the red-zone.  This being the case, it makes it irrelevant where offenses start on the field against us, they will always be expected to move up and down the field.

With all factors considered; i believe this further promotes the theory that we should be in four down territory starting from just outside of the opposing team's field goal range (~own 30 yard line) to our guaranteed field goal range (~opp 15 yard line)

7 years 31 weeks ago neutral zone

essentially ineligible receivers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eligible_receiver) cannot advance beyond the neutral zone on passing plays otherwise a flag can be throw for ineligible receiver downfield; however, i rarely ever see this being called in college

7 years 31 weeks ago scary as it sounds

it's moreso due to the fact that he is still developing as a QB

usually the hardest thing for new QBs to learn is working through the progressions.  typically rookie QBs tend to find a "favorite" receiver and lock onto that receiver.  If you watch the last couple games carefully, you do notice that dilithium has a tendency to lock onto his primary receiver and thus giving away the play (case in point, the roundtree throw which almost got him killed in the uconn game)

this is something that can be fixed with repetition, timing and trusting your receivers to be in the right places (imagine how good he'll be when he get's this down)

i hope it is sooner rather than later because good secondaries are going to take advantage of this and jump his routes

7 years 31 weeks ago sure

check the "personal" section

7 years 31 weeks ago denard's stats

should have been even higher, the wideouts played great but way too many drops...i'm not going to harp on roundtree too much but he did drop a catchable touchdown pass

7 years 31 weeks ago uh sir...sir...

 

i'm sorry to inform u but u've just been...um...DENARDEDDDDD!!!!!

7 years 33 weeks ago what about this scenario from 2006

with the divisions as projected, what about a repeat of 2006?  we lose to osu in the game but then play them again in the title game the week after and eek out a win...with the votes the way they were, there would have been a solid chance that there would have been another rematch in the national title game

i have no problems with playing osu twice in a season but three times? that's just a little too much

7 years 40 weeks ago it was a dive

iniesta definitely dived to exaggerate the foul but he had his man beat with a clear path on goal and heitinga reached out and grabbed his shoulder...it may be a soft yellow but 50-50 it does get called a yellow

just look at heitinga's reaction afterwards, he didn't even try pleading his case, he just turned around and walked off because he knew he committed the foul

7 years 42 weeks ago call me crazy

call me crazy but what about starting torres in holden's spot?  i feel like he could thrive here against ghana's packed midfield, and his crosses could do wonders against ghana's short back line

8 years 17 weeks ago simple

just make a video of you burning it all and post it on youtube, i rather make money that way than selling useless garbage on ebay

8 years 26 weeks ago This wasn't a poem

This wasn't a poem but i remember once i went back for a homecoming game two years after i graduated and while i was walking by the bongo guy on my way to the game, i suddenly hear him go, "hey! didn't you graduate two years ago?". Scary part is i don't think i've ever talked to the bongo guy...
