Old Dominion University Basketball Player Collapses During Game

Likely, another isolated situation. Fortunatley, this turned out ok.

But, are we sitting on a powder keg with these young healthy people?

==================
An Old Dominion University men’s basketball player suffered a terrifying ordeal on Saturday as the team took on Georgia Southern.

The incident occurred with about 13:13 left in the first half. Old Dominion sophomore guard Imo Essien was on the defensive side of the ball when he fell onto his backside on the court. He struggled to get back to his feet and started to lay down on his back appearing to be in pain.


Medical personnel for Old Dominion rushed over to attend to Essien. He didn’t appear to lose consciousness and was helped to his feet and walked off the court with the trainers.

"Imo Essien was evaluated by the ODU Athletic Training staff along with the GA Southern medical staff," the school stated. "He was responsive throughout and was able to sit with the team for the duration of the game and drove home with the team."

COMMITMENT! FCS Transfer LB

Incarnate Word LB Tah Mac Bright has committed to Marshall.

I like this pickup!

Portal: Zamora to Tusculum

Zamora has accepted an offer from DII Tusculum... I thought he might get an FCS spot, but I guess wherever you can get on the field is the best spot for you.

For those who may not be familiar with Tusculum... It's in Greenville TN. They play in the same conference as Mars Hill, Carson Newman, UVA Wise, Emory Henry, Erskine, Lenoir Rhyne, Newberry, Wingate, Limestone, Barton and Catawba.

Did the Republicans just play the Democrats?

Hear me out

1)They drug out the Speaker vote and got it done , middle of the night on Jan 7. Because of that it tied up the capital so , the Dems couldn't cry and sob and make an overblown theatrical display of the Jan 6 date? They knew McCarthy was barely going to win, regardless. So, did they drag it out?

2) Because of the new rules, Democrats, just like Republicans can bring their proposals for spending and bills forward, openly. That was not allowed under Pelosi. Even for Dems. Now we can see some of the outalndish crap some of these weirdos on the left will come out with.

Marshall WBB

Falls to 9-6 after a 22-2 run in the 4Q falls short, refs made some questionable calls, including a charge on Scott (leading scorer) with under 30 seconds left. Both a highlight reel steal by Georgia Southern and a missed 3 by Beeman (starting PG) with less than 10 seconds left sealed this one. All 6 losses have come to teams with double digit wins, and they have lost by double digits only once (Purdue, by 13 points). A lot of local talent on this team, including 4 from WV and a 5th from Chesapeake.

Let's Reminisce

We aren’t going to make 6-6, let alone 7-5.

Shocking how many are all worried about going to the bowls they turned their nose up about not that long ago.

MU has to go 7-5, as only one I-AA win counts. Of the six games remaining, three teams are simply a whole lot better than us. The other three we could beat. So 6-6 is best case scenario, which is short.

However, it is pretty clear that CH has lost control of this team and we have every chance to lose out.
You can, but you really shouldn’t. Childish super-fandom does not add to the conversation. Some believe that MU’s can recover a bit and maybe get to 6-6; others, including myself, believe that this season, and perhaps this coach’s tenure, are completely gone.

Beals Press Conference

I’m not sure how many of you had the chance to watch Coach Beals press conference yesterday afternoon but I came away extremely impressed. Extremely well spoken. Has a clear vision for the Baseball program. He stated he can see the Baseball program being the show in town from March-May with the product he’s going to put on the field and the new stadium. As fans we’ve rightfully so been pessimistic over the years when it comes to this program. It’s time to put that behind us. From the leadership at Marshall to the new Head Coach it’s now different. The stadium is coming people. February of 24. It’s not a wish or a hope it’s reality. Hopefully all of you all and many others will get to Route 2 and support these student athletes this season as well. As Beals stated there is talent in the program right now.

How bad is it going to get in 2023?

How bad is the current recession going to get? We are usually at the front of economic gain or loss. We can see it already. Really saw it hit with obvious numbers in Nov. Really before, but real measurable declines in Nov. Haven't seen Dec numbers yet but, I imagine it will be down again. I saw fewer year end purchases this year than I have in some time.

Housing market is declining. New construction is slowing way down.

My guess is hang on as it will get rough for a bit.
