Sun Belt Team Statistics

With the bye week upon us and a little past the halfway point of the season, I thought it would be interesting to see how the teams are stacking up.

Reminder

Today and tomorrow, I will be sitting in prime seats watching the Mets beat the Dodgers to advance to the World Series.

Will I sit with the 95th wealthiest man in the world again? Will I sit next to Mets great David Wright again? Maybe they will put me next to Jason Bateman, Dave Winfield, Brat Pitt, or Gabrielle Union. They try to keep people of the same wealth level, celebrity status, and life means with each other so that we aren't bothered by plebeians.

This year, revenge

Every Halloween season, my niece plays a prank on me. One year I came home to find my fenced in garden turned into a cemetery. Another year, skeletons were hanging in my greenhouse. This season, my outdoor sauna was filled with glitter covered plastic spiders.

I have been carefully plotting my revenge. Started today when I carved out the basic form on a pumpkin. I saved all the inside mess and it will be added to the finished product to simulate vomit running down her porch stairs. She messed with the wrong relative.

Christian Spears Socializing with Neo-Nazi

I posted this on the main board, but since some of the moderators are cowards, I will post it here in case it gets deleted or moved.

In case some of you haven't kept up with this story that is running wild on Huntington social media sites, a quick summary is below. And it keeps getting worse . . .

Matt White, a former Marshall baseball player, is running for a spot on the Huntington City Council. On September 19th, a fundraiser for his campaign was hosted at the house of Huntingtonian Nick Goff. Goff has recently been exposed as the person behind an X (formerly Twitter) account that has been posting extremely vile tweets full of racism, anti-semitism, sexism, and homophobia. He has posted things like "White Supremacy!" to give you an idea. Just a small sampling of those tweets are below, and there are dozens more about the same subjects:

Blue city defies key liberal rhetoric — then sheds its sinister moniker

Who would have thunk it?

Democrats, their policies and their bleaters are destroying our country

Big Country

Hey, @big_country90 . On a scale of 1 to 10 . . .




































Are you still too cowardly and spineless to admonish Nick Goff for his frequent racist, anti-semitic, sexist, and homophobic comments? Almost as bad, are you still too cowardly to chastise and shame him for making legal threats against people with his claim that he wasn't the one behind the account posting those things?

@ThunderCat98 , you can also, for one time in your life, have a little bit of confidence and speak up about it. @Rock98Dog has already shown his true colors with his defense of the racist comments and cowardly running from the others faster than he ran from herdftblfan.

About last night - Georgia State edition

Well, I will say one thing for this team... They always make it interesting.

Here is the Good, the Bad, and Ugly from last night's win over the other GSU.

The Good --
• AJ Turner is a legit stud... Imagine what we'd be discussing if we'd given him the ball a few more time against Georgia Southern in the second half. Love Huff, Hate Huff, the guy knows how to find and develop running backs and Turner is a potential home run hitter every time he gets it.
• Scripted plays... One theme that has appeared over the past 3-4 weeks - We are good on the first 2-3 possessions when we are running from a script. The issue is when the script runs out, or we are forced to adjust (more on that in a minute).
• Mike Green is an animal... He's been so good getting to the QB that he was drawing doubles all night. A tackle and a back, a tackle and a TE, tackle and guard, they had to commit two guys to 15. We need another pass rusher to get home from the other side because teams are adjusting to take away Green.
• Where has this Reece Verhoff been?... Banging home kicks from 40-plus two weeks in a row. Nice to see him finding some flow this season.

The Bad --
• Tackling... I know it was a short week and guys may not have felt 100 percent, but man our tackling was bad. Arm tackles, no one wrapping up, guys getting 3-4-5 yards after contact. Overall, a poor night for getting guys on the ground.
• Untimely turnovers... Following up the Georgia Southern game where a couple of turnovers absolutely killed us. It was a pretty clean game until GSU pulled within one score and Braxton hit their middle linebacker in the chest for a huge INT. Thank goodness GSU's coach looked about as unprepared for a close game as anyone in the stadium and they didn't score (they also didn't take the points earlier in the game and got stopped on 4th down at the 10 yard line which was a huge screwup by their first year HC).
• Zone coverage... I know you have to mix up the coverages between man and zone, but every big play we made all night was in man coverage. When we played zone, we played poorly, and GSU's backup QB was smart enough to take the wide open 5-7 yard throws over the middle of the field.

The Ugly --
• Thursday night crowds... We've discussed this at length 1,000 times on here, and I don't think there's any way to fix it aside from maybe being undefeated when our Thursday night game rolls around. But on TV it looked like there were about 500 people on the visiting side in the second half.
• Adjustments... The offense came out hot, scored on the first three possessions (while staying on script). Then nothing for a long long time as GSU got back in the game. It seems like Doege may have figured out the first 20-25 plays of the game, which most teams put together throughout the week. But then he struggles to keep the momentum once the script runs out. We need to be better at halftime of evaluating and adjusting to the flow of the game.

All in all, a fun win to kick off a long break that is going to feel like an eternity.

Louisiana Monroe has a bye this week and then a huge game against South Alabama on Oct. 26 before their trip to Huntington... Fun fact, if you just google "Monroe football" they aren't even at the top of the google search. You get Monroe High School NC followed by other Monroe High Schools, lol
