I always try and reserve any judgement until I see the product on display and in use. Yesterday afternoon there were times I could swear that DD was still coaching. Still shooting a lot of threes, losing their man on defense and falling for ball/shot fakes. Also. the low post looks suspect at times. I understand all the "they're just kids" stuff, but weren't these things going to be addressed under CJ?

Other than that, I thought they played hard and Nutter will need some knee and elbow pads, I think. However, UPike isn't the teams on the rest of the schedule. With that said, I'll be generous and say 10 to 12 wins this year and I wish them all the luck in the world.

P.S. Why didn't OAK play?

It's too early to be worrying about this, but I always find it interesting to see where the "experts" think we might land during bowl season.

ESPN (Schlabach) -- Cure Bowl in Orlando, FL... Marshall vs. East Carolina
ESPN (Bonagura) -- 68 Ventures Bowl in Mobile, AL... Marshall vs. Northern Illinois
CBS Sports -- Cure Bowl in Orlando, FL... Marshall vs. East Carolina
24/7 Sports -- Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, TX... Marshall vs. East Carolina
College Football News -- Boca Raton Bowl in Boca Raton, FL... Marshall vs. Northern Illinois

Of those, the Cure Bowl has a good time slot - Friday afternoon the week before Christmas and an easy destination to get to in Orlando.

The Boca Raton Bowl has the worst time slot - Wednesday before Christmas at 5 p.m.

I just stumbled across this and immediately thought of you. This would be a wonderful addition to your property portfolio and give you a small investment in the State you love.

This lovely two bedroom, one bath home just came on the market for a reasonable $15,000. You can see that not only does it have roof shingles on one side, it also boasts two toned siding, fenced in yard, a single large tree, and blinders in the windows. The previous owners overdosed on drugs and the house has been shut up for years. I’m sure the inside is in pristine condition.

I remember once talking to the young guy who lived there. He told me the house was built on the ground and the floor had rotted away in several rooms. He also said the bath was about to cave in. I’m sure these minor annoyances have been semi corrected.

I have saved the best part of this deal for last. You would only be about a quarter mile from where I live. With your way of judging distance, we would practically be next door neighbors. When you fly in for a stay at your new property (airport 25 miles away), I could help you with repairs.

We could even have lunch at my house. I don’t have all that fanny stuff you eat like whale sperm, Mediterranean raisins, and imitation quail soy, and it is doubtful Kroger carries that. I could call up my good buddy Jim Justice to see if he stocks those necessities at The Greenbrier.

Let me know if you are interested. I get my SS check in about ten days and it will be almost enough for me to put in a down payment for you. Don’t wait too long. Rumor has it that a neurosurgeon and his wife were looking over the place only yesterday. Those naive out of staters will buy anything.

Oh, one last thing. In the spring, the large freight truck that delivered my sauna caught the low hanging cable and power wires leading to the house and ripped them off the outside wall. You will be off grid until you have that reinstalled.

Another crazy game that should never have gotten so out of hand.

As usual, the final score does not tell the true story.

They do this by calling half the country, which includes military, doctors, nurses, teachers, law enforcers...etc, "A basket of deplorables, racists, fascists, bigots, garbage and nazis."

I mean, if those aren't a kum bah yah moments, I don't know what is. 🙄

Sometimes the universe just delivers an absolutely perfect day for football and Saturday was one of those days. If you even kind like the sport, its hard to beat 68 and sunny with just slight fall breeze... Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly from the Herd's important win over Louisiana Monroe.

The good -
• Running back depth - Turner started the game but took a couple of shots early. Fortunately for us, Ethan Payne and Houston picked up the slack and showed well for themselves.
• Ball security - Any time you play a game and turn it over one time or less, your chances of winning go way up. We have been good about holding on to the ball this year and it's shown up in close games.
• Red zone defense - Really the defense as a whole played well throughout with the exception of two big plays. A tipped ball that was caught for a TD and a 70+ yard run were about all we gave up.

The bad -
• Field goals - After two weeks of being in the good category, Verhoff had a pretty awful day against ULM. I understand there was an issue with the hold on his first miss, but the second was just a dead push. Two misses inside 40 yards made the game closer than it probably should have been.
• Gameday operations - We talk about it a lot and it never gets better... The announcer calling ULM "North" multiple times, music not stopping before the snap, the on field promos during timeouts being fumbled like was dont have a script, etc.

The ugly -
• The play of the game - A bad snap, worse catch, fumble recovery and 60 yard punt sounds like a mess and it was. But in hindsight that play saved our tails. Great job by the punter recovering the ball and getting a kick off rather than giving the ball away inside our 10 yard line.

Overall, solid win over a team with a winning record, which is always nice... Next week its on to Southern Miss, a team with nothing to play for, but a road game nonetheless. Hopefully we get our road woes sorted out and put ourselves squarely in the picture to win the division.
