Post game thoughts

Great win tonight.

Whomever was talking sh*t to Malik Williams on twitter (Mark Ennis can fill you in on that) must’ve gotten into his head because he was pretty flat tonight on both ends.

I unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you look at it) didn’t get to see the game on Saturday. However, I’m suprised by the recaps of how Malik and Enoch played in that game against UNC. Both have been progressing very nicely IMHO this season. Going to need these two to be strong and aggressive (but not TOO aggressive) down the stretch.

Can someone suggest to these “smaller gym” schools in the ACC to tighten their rims? That sound is just awful!

CC is the leader. Nwora is the scorer. Ryan is the sniper. Enoch and Malik are the beef (but don’t leave them alone outside). Sutton is the workhorse AND the glue. Words cannot describe how much I appreciate Sutton. He’s our modern-day Milt.

I really, really love this year’s team. They deserve some love. They’re not uber-talented like Duke, but I wouldn’t trade for an ounce of that “talent”. This team has character. This is my team, and I’m behind them 100 - as the kids like to say. One of my favorite Cardinal teams in a long, long time!!

CC

So,looking at the box score from last night indicates that CC took only 3 shots on the night,yet the team scored 82 points. I know the 3 pt shooting contributed to the scoring,but would anybody here have thought a month ago that this team could score 82 with CC taking only 3 shots?

What this coaching staff has done with this young man,in sculpting him into the general on the floor is phenomenal. They've done it in the course of this progressing season. He is not the same guy from a month ago and the offense is flourishing because of it.

Super Bowl Predictions Thread

Rams will win it outright.

-- 70-80% of the money being bet in Vegas is going on the Pats. The Book wins big if the Rams win or cover. Conventional Wisdom is usually pretty stupid.

-- 10 of the last 12 Super Bowl and College Football Games, the underdog covered. 9 of those won outright.

Makes you feel good, picking the underdog, right? Well ... in the 2 that didn't cover, the Pats prevailed. --- In the Seattle Seahawks choke job where they decided it would be better to pass from the 1 yard line, instaed of run Marshawn Lynch, who muct have been tired, gashing the Pats D all the way TO the one yard line. ---- And in the Atlanta Falcons choke job, where they gave up the biggest lead in Super Bowl History ... and had they simply run the ball 3 straight times, would have won that one.

But the Rams are uber talented, and more than half of the two weeks since the conference championships, the media and world only discussed Saints got screwed, and NOT about how the Rams deserved that win. That will motivate you to shut up the world.

In the Pats losses in the Super Bowl, Brady was sacked, or rushed, often. Expect Suh and Donald to bring serious heat, after shutting down the running game.

I expect the Rams to win this one outright.

But I guess we shall see.

College Football Recruiting Rankings 2020 & Top 2020 JuCo Football QB at College Football Today

COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECRUITING RANKINGS 2020
2020 college football recruiting rankings for high school have now formed our Top 300, and we will be adding many 2020 High School recruits to this list throughout the Spring and Summer at College Football Today. Which brings me to what we believe is the Top 2020 Junior College recruit in the world of College Football Today in former Maryland Terrapins Quarterback Brayden Hawkins, who started for four years at the Varsity level and was a Top 20 prospect out of South Carolina.



The Top 2020 JuCo QB we have located at College Football Today experienced the tragedy at Maryland first hand and soon after left the program to attend NW Mississippi CC. After watching the ball come out of Brayden Hawkins' hand at 6'3, 225LBS, I believe Brayden was severely overlooked in his class as an elite Quarterback and he will be giving East Mississippi Junior College all they can handle in the MS Junior College circuit, as Division One teams flock to Senatobia, MS to see this up and coming gunslinger in action. Brayden choose NW Miss over other well known junior colleges because they return all 5 starting linemen and were 8-2 last year as a up and coming MACJC team. Their only losses last year were to EMCC and Jones CC in the MACJC playoffs, so the addition of the number one 2020 junior college recruit at Quarterback should be able to put them into contention with the returning starters NW Miss has coming back.



DREW LOCK NFL DRAFT 2019

Drew Lock has sky rocketed to what many say is the top quarterback in the 2019 NFL Draft. Drew is a very athletic young man with a 6'3 frame that has general managers like John Elway ready to do whatever it takes to get the young gunslinger out of Missouri. Drew was very impressive at the 2019 NFL Reese's Senior Bowl at impressed many with his undeniable arm strength and leadership qualities needed in a primetime NFL QB. That being said, when I learned more about the characteristics of Brayden Hawkins and the work ethic he exhibits in his process of becoming a big time quarterback, I realized he was by far the Top JuCo recruit in the 2020 junior college recruiting class at the Quarterback position. Watching Brayden back in the 2018 recruiting class, his receiving targets rarely ever have to break stride as he delivers some of the best balls we have seen on tape at College Football Today.

2019 CFB RANKINGS

Our 2019 CFB rankings will be updated after national signing day and getting a commitment from a Quarterback like Brayden Hawkins will surely help bolster a CFB teams rankings for years to come. With three years of eligibility left upon graduation from NW Mississippi CC, Brayden is looking to break our former Top Juco Recruits passing records set by Arkansas Pine-Bluff Quarterback Shannon Patrick. Shannon will be in contention for the 2019 Walter Payton Award at College Football Today, just as Devlin Hodges was this year and ended up taking home award!


Louisville women's basketball handles Huskies 78-69

What an incredible game, crowd and win down at the YUM! last night. Almost an hour of post-game media room conversation after the Louisville win. Maybe one billion emotions, thoughts and replays racing through my mind still this morning after this one. Getting to sit next to Holly Rowe for the contest. This will be "one for the ages".

For excellent performances, deafening crowd noise, Geno's "one of a kind" post game presser and a win by #3 over #2, let's watch as Dana and Asia launch another three and trot back down court with:

FIVE THINGS ABOUT THIS GAME

5) EXCELLENCE on the hardwood. Make no mistake about it. This was a well-played game. Just 11 combined turnovers. Players on both sides refusing to quit. The Cards shone for a five minute stretch in the third quarter so brightly and delivered the gut-punch that UConn never recovered from. People watching throughout the country and in the downtown arena had to have been impressed with the excellence performed down by the river.

4) ASIA AWAKENS AND THEN SAYS "NITE-NITE". After a scoreless first quarter, Asia was understandably a bit down. No points in the first ten minutes. Jeff Walz looks at her and tells her to smile, be ecstatic because her teammates were holding it together and she should be excited about that. The words worked. 14 second quarter points. Some huge threes followed, three in a row and a huge one in the fourth to push the lead to 11. She is the best player in college women's basketball. Asia doing Asia-type things. Encouraging the crowd to let it loose late in the contest. Durr-riffic.

3) JJ AIRLINES WAS NOT GROUNDED. Jasmine Jones with the double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds. Four assists. Running the court with confidence, displaying her unique brand of athleticism and hurling the ball into the seats at the final horn. I wonder if they counted that as a shot? Putting the team on her back early, this was JJ's "Super-Bowl" and she did not disappoint.. UConn led for only nine minutes in a 40-minute contest. Jazmine Jones is the accelerator on this finely-tuned Cardinal airplane. Flight cleared for takeoff!

2) THE GENO MONOLOUGES. You owe it to yourself to cue up Geno's post-game comments. Cardinal Couple and others have it linked up. Obviously parched after the game, he pepped-up after a glass of water and went into a revealing, humorous, poignant, sarcastic, stern and relevant post game "Q&A" with a packed media room. I think he was having fun messing with the scribes despite the loss. I don't think he wanted to leave. Talking about how his team "sucked". Goading Walz into continuing the series by calling him a "big baby".. This was classic Geno and no one holds post-game court like him.

1) DANA THE DOMINANT. What a night for the guard from Gary! 20 points, five threes, four assists and blazing by bewildered UConn defenders. Enjoying the party. This woman is your future, Cardinal fans. Get to know her. Marvel at her skills. She was "to the point" post-game, crediting her teammates, the fans and the coaches' game plan. She went toe-to-toe with UConn guard extraordinaire Crystal Dangerfield and proved her mettle. She gets my "player of the game" ...that is, if I can slow her down to accept it.

I'll never forget the Cardinal sequence after a missed UConn three. Jones rebound, down court pass to Durr, who finds Carter with the orb. Arica spotting an open Sam Fuehring. Shot up, shot good. UConn time out. I heard it made Sportscenter's top three. It should have.

This, my friends, is Louisville women's basketball .If you are missing it, you're missing a lot. It's not too late to get involved.

As we were walking out last night, Paulie caught up with Sam Purcell. Sam works with the Cardinal guards and Paulie complimented him on their play. Sam fired right back that this was a team win. Somewhere, the warrior Sam Fuehring (10 points,12 rebounds) is nodding in agreement.

UT: Tallest midget in the room

I've never seen a more over rated #1 in my life.

Wins by 9 vs UofL in Nov, arguably their best win. Cruises through the fist half of a laughable SEC schedule ( still hasn't faced UK) but for some reason they're ranked #1. Writers must think this is football season).

Sweet 16 at best once they have to face some real teams at best. Tallest midget in the room playing basketball in a football conference.

NCAA Slams Mizzou with Level 1 Violations Post Season Ban Football, Baseball , Softball

Punishment looks eerily like what happened to UL. Complete with a vacating wins, and siting the school admitting the violations by cooperating the investigation. Even cites the North Carolina case of fighting them, not admitting anything, as to why NC got of the hook, and Mizzou does not. Power 5 needs to leave the NCAA open their own association that has some sense to it's rules.

What Are Your Hopes/Expectations For The Rest Of the Season?

I realize that there is still lot of basketball left to be played, and that the toughest part of the Card's schedule is still to come in February. I know that anything can happen- good or bad- and that nothing is a guarantee at this point.

As long as the team isn't caught looking too far ahead, it is still fun to do as fans watching from the sidelines. I have enjoyed watching Coach Mack and team so far. It has been a fun season up to this point.

So what are your hopes/expectations for the rest of the season and (hopefully) the post season?
