ITS GAMEDAY!!!!! Today the Men take on The worst team in Division 1, Mississippi Valley State at the Reynolds Center. The Women are playing in the finals of the West Palm Beach Classic where they are taking on the Lady Vols of Tennessee. The womens game will be on Baller TV. So if you got the Baller TV to watch the Men when they were in Florida, you can catch the women get destroyed by Tennessee. Lets just call it what it is. I do wish them well.

Today’s games

Mississippi st. at Memphis
FAU at Michigan St.
East Texas A&M at South Fla.
Gardner Webb at ECU
Temple at Rhode Island
Kansas State at WSU

Full Schedule is below

My spreadsheet crashed on me and it has taken me 45 minutes to put all of this information in by hand. I am working on restoring my stuff but that means my posts the remainder of the year unless I can fix it sooner will be pretty crude in nature.

GO TU!!!

Anyone familiar with the Sheffield United local club. They are looking to start a team for “2013 youth”. My son has been approached about his son signing up?
Should 6 year olds really be in a competitive club like Sheffield?

Look at the continued “rinse and repeat” of revolving door of head coaches, assistant coaches and the mass exodus of players via the portal. There’s not much “critical, outside the box” thinking.

College football rosters have evolved into professional football rosters and the “smart” college football teams are emulating pro football structures. The bottom third of rosters are going to be turned over. Just like the NFL. Dion Sanders introduced the concept at Colorado. He was one of the first college coaches to look at the portal like a draft board. Moreover, Sanders had no salary cap.

From the WSJ this morning.

“Belichick spent the fall digging into the college game—with his son Steve, the defensive coordinator at Washington, and consulting other coaches around the sport. And what he soon discovered was a completely new landscape: all the new money pouring into players’ pockets meant that his experience in the pros was more relevant than ever before.

At the same time, officials at the University of North Carolina were watching their football program fall behind the times, according to people familiar with the matter. The Tar Heels had broadly failed to evolve from amateurism to a pro-style model where players get paid.”

Bill Belichick, love him or hate him, is no dummy.

Gundy flushing his staff? A prisoner of war exchange. Nothing more nothing less. No real original or critical thinking there.

I tip my hat to UNC and Bubba Cunningham. There’s discussion at Chapel Hill of bringing in Mike Lombardi to be a “defacto” GM for the Tarheel football team, and bringing in Matt Patricia and Josh McDaniel as coordinators would be a sea change.

Tulsa continues down the “weathered” road with grudging change. NIL.

There’s just not much original “critical” thinking.

On Eye of the Hurricane Podcast, post game interview with WBB Coach Angie Nelp after TU beat Montana, and the press conference for MBB Coach Eric Konkol earlier in the week:

TU leads at halftime 37-31.

We should be ahead by more than that given that we had a lot of points off of turnovers. Shooting 36% for the half.

Now that Wilson is toast, who replaces him next year?

Brennan Marion would be a home run.

Did anyone see this posting by our recent basketball signee KJ Martin? I'm very confused on what this means? Does this mean he can start attending classes and participate with the team?

Still working on this crazy case. Give me something decent. I’m listening to Townes playing “Ira Hayes” because I have this other case where a dope on the other side keeps calling the IRA in dispute an “Ira.” Yeah, I got your drunken Ira Hayes right here . . .

So the weirdest things have gone down this week in area HS football as 3 of the big 5 were looking for new coaches. Union hired Antonio Graham, a Union alum, but more importantly the Owasso HS coach who took over for BB when BB retired. I don't think many people connected to Union saw that coming...many felt it would just be handed to Dub Maddox. Graham had a great season at Owasso. In turn, Owasso has re-hired Bill Blankenship as the HC. I see this as a 1-2 year thing until Owasso can find someone or they look at it as BB training the next head coach for the Rams. And maybe the best hire of all is BA getting Travis Hill away from Muskogee where he did a great job.

That leaves Jenks. I have no idea where they're looking but I'd be surprised if they didn't at least have a conversation with Loren Montgomery. I think it'd be hard for Montgomery to leave Bixby right now if it's not for a college gig. He's built a great program and culture at Bixby and now Bixby PS is in turn going to build a palace of a football stadium and complex to complement the status of his program.

So this will be interesting to see if it carries over to all sports or is it specific to just this one athlete's circumstances. A judge in TN just issued an injunction barring the NCAA from counting a Vanderbilt soccer player's JUCO time against their eligibility essentially granting additional years of eligibility for this athlete (this is a Cliff's Notes version of the ruling that I saw on Threads this AM).

If it carries over to all sports and all athletes, you're going to see the JUCP ranks explode with HS talent and you will see the P4s basically only recruit kids in the portal and from JUCO.

One caveat I was thinking about...will those JUCO years count towards the NFL requirement of being out 3 years before being eligible to declare for the draft?
