I personally did not avoid stroke, but solid haiku.
September 18th, 2010 at 5:16 PM ^
Is this the time to
wax poetically when
we had such a win?
September 18th, 2010 at 5:19 PM ^
UM's defense blows
under the vicious wind of UMass
litter everywhere
September 18th, 2010 at 5:24 PM ^
Play-action roll-out.
God now toys with your feelings.
Another first down.
September 18th, 2010 at 5:31 PM ^
Nice pick, Cam Gordon
But though you don't return punts...
HOLD ONTO THE BALL!!!!
September 18th, 2010 at 5:32 PM ^
A red wind destroys
Generous system chokes
A break to escape death
September 18th, 2010 at 5:33 PM ^
Fourth and nine to go
Should be turnover on downs
But they convert it
September 18th, 2010 at 5:34 PM ^
Haikus are so gay.
Hey, do you like turtles, too?
Goodbye to this thread.

'Kus have no gender;
They can't screw other haikus.
You, friend, are the gay.

When Hagerup fell
foul bile overflowed my spleen
into my warm beer.
September 18th, 2010 at 5:40 PM ^
It's a PBR.
It tastes the same. But still beats
the Colt 45.
September 18th, 2010 at 5:41 PM ^
I read "foul" and "bile" both as two-syllable words haha.
Solid haiku.
September 18th, 2010 at 5:56 PM ^
From Michigan? Yes. But clearly I've been gone long enough to have lost those Midwestern vowel pronunciations. Deracination is a sad thing.
September 18th, 2010 at 5:58 PM ^
Haha glad to hear it. 3 years in NC and now 1 in VA and I'm still holding strong. Also still calling it "pop".
September 18th, 2010 at 6:12 PM ^
Stay on topic please.
Haiku's only on this thread.
Please pretend to try?
September 18th, 2010 at 5:39 PM ^
we win by five points
Despite playing like dog crap
Still time to improve
September 18th, 2010 at 7:06 PM ^
...your comment should be tattooed on those a-holes sitting in front of me (and my daughter) who were swearing too much and yelling at the team to "wake up".
September 18th, 2010 at 5:40 PM ^
That game really sucked.
Wish I could drink ten beers now.
Med School really blows.

Broke new ground today
For coining new sports jargon:
First "moral defeat."
September 18th, 2010 at 6:20 PM ^
Fine Haikus around
But Blue Brains Ninetyeight wins
With "Moral Defeat"
September 18th, 2010 at 5:51 PM ^
The Gerg has nice hair
but the "D" took a big shit
We are 3 and 0!
September 18th, 2010 at 5:58 PM ^
Mich-San Diego State
Two-thousand four, three point win
Made it to Rose Bowl
September 18th, 2010 at 6:10 PM ^
San Diego State
Already has 5 beats, yo?
Optimism fail!
September 18th, 2010 at 6:14 PM ^
Shaw went so beast mode
Lots of points in little time
Like a freakin track meet

It looks like we were having trouble holding our outside contain this game.
- JT Floyd should never get beat to the outside like he did against UMass's 1st touchdown. As a CB, he is the last man on the flank. Floyd needs to force the RB to cut inside where his help will be; when he loses contain, there is nobody there to back him up. He needs to stay at the minimum on the outside shoulder of the RB. This is basic high school football stuff.
- I'm guessing this responsibility changes from play-to-play, but the DE/OLB/Spur/Bandit in charge of the D gap on the TE side or C gap on the non-TE side needs to make sure that they do not get hooked by a lineman. Their responsibility is to force everything back to the inside.
- Sometimes our alignments give up the edge. There are instances where we line a DE and OLB/Spur/Bandit inside of a TE, usually on the weakside of double TE formations as we shift to the strong side. This is a scheme issue that hopefully gets corrected. We cannot be blindly running a 3-3-5 on every single play; different offensive formations should dictate different defensive alignments. This isn't exactly earth-shattering news.
- I hate when a backside DE gets beat on a bootleg because they flowed too hard down the line and lost contain on the QB. The backside DE generally never catches the RB on that stretch play and should be playing for the bootleg until he sees the QB doesn't have the ball.
We did miss a lot of tackles and we had trouble getting off blocks at times, so obviously some technique work needs to be re-emphasized at practice, but our defense's main issues appeared to be related to gap assignments and staying disciplined. These things are correctable.
Our secondary will struggle, but I do not see any talent issues in our front 6. Our run defense will be fine against those power running teams like Wisc/Iowa/MSU/OSU,etc. as long as we play our assignments correctly. If we don't, we'll obviously get gashed by anybody, like what happened today.
