Since the NIT is like a non-playoff Bowl game

Since the NIT is like a non-playoff Bowl game, a lot of players don't want to play in them anymore. I think the forces against got too big with Lawal -NBA dreams, Bedford -?, Hansberry -out, Johnson - rest is better, Neo - needs a break. This team was completely deflated by that last loss. The NIT team would've looked a lot different and not better! (like the Pinstripes Bowl) ** Edited by FunkyHokie at 3/13/2026, 11:48:30 PM

How about incomplete passes on 1st down leading to QB runs on 3rd and long?

This scenario fell short over and over again last night! No creative plays when it's your last game? Glad we're moving on!

That's pretty much the same rule for every tackle.

You can't body slam and drive your full body weight down into them. Neither happened on that play! He just got hit hard.

Worst call EVER!

But we somehow, someway found a way to win that game - Poetic justice!

Maurice Jones-Drew

A bit more muscle. Cyrus Lawrence too - always pushing it downhill!

Pry had very poor time mgmt - including in games!

Not to mention prepping for games. It explains a lot. He's a nice guy but put up some terrible results!

I believe they ruled the play dead at 17 sec, then ran-off 10 secs BUT

- Why didn't Pry use a TO instead of allowing the 10 sec run-off? - Why didn't we get the 2nd TO back after they changed the call? He should have been allowed to use the 2nd timeout after the call was changed but he still had one that he didn't use. Just head scratching all around! ** Edited by FunkyHokie at 11/2/2024, 4:02:22 PM

Dude is a stud!

Can break tackles, drive the pile, and outrun everybody. Can do any or all in the same play! He's got a very quick burst that just outran BC esp. in the first few yards downfield.

Some got a learning experience

Wear layers/gloves and know that the game wasn't over! I was fine - it was chilly, not terrible. I DID upgrade my seat though!

Special teams can win or lose the game

Key moments - just before halftime, we call timeout with 20 secs left instead of letting the clock run down. Love hit the 57 yarder. We squib kick the KO, which was returned to the 47. The squib backfired. They kick a 56 yarder. WE SHOULD HAVE KICKED IT DEEP for a touchback or let the clock run down before our FG. We CAN'T ALLOW THEM TO SCORE THERE! - Trying the fake FG on 4th and 3 after the long Int return. We HAVE TO TAKE THE POINTS THERE! Can't take that chance after the big play. The O-line got blown-up badly on that play. Don't know if we get a 1st down regardless. We REALLY needed those 3 points. At the end, a FG would have won it if we had gotten that. - Pry's game management shows that he doesn't know how to win these games. 6 - 9 point swing there.

That's the final question - did Felton have control

when the ball was touched by the UM player that was out-of-bounds? If so, it should be dead. They're covering themselves by saying it was a loose ball but was it?

All the portal entries are unsettling but it's a new day w/ NIL. My take:

Kidd and Poteat - both transferred in and would be 5th yr guys. Don't think either would make the NBA. They wouldn't even have the option to transfer w/o the Covid yr. Pedulla - is half out based on his own statement. John Camden - marginal player at best in this conf. MJ Collins - no idea. Rodney Rice - to UMD, close to home but why did he wait until the season started? Hopefully Pedulla will return and we get some good replacements but can't help but wonder if CMY is not connecting well with his players or they're not connecting well with each other. We'll see how the dust settles.

I think she was mostly hesitant last night.

Looked like she just didn't feel it and was just off. The stronger and wide open shots just didn't drop. She finally found something with drives to the basket but it was too little too late. ** Edited by FunkyHokie at 12/1/2023, 3:07:27 PM

We shouldn't play anything

For a team that's 2+ games under .500 . Time to make them earn it!

My family is from Southampto Co. Nearly played against him. Cause of death.

My family is from Southampton Co. He went to HS with my cousins. Got to know him well after he moved to my complex post my graduation. He and Tony Paige would run wind sprints in the parking lot. My cousin is his HS class President. Cause of death: He was on hospice care for the past month with glioblastoma brain cancer.
