Mack’s practice thoughts

Posted by Nickel Rover on March 10th, 2010 under Basketball

Football: I wasn't paying attention to the defensive line so somehow I failed to notice Mack's current leaning towards Sam Acho as your starting 3-tech in 2010. I had assumed Jones, Sacho, Okafor and Randall as the 4 best linemen but I forgot that Sacho was the one who moved inside last year in passing situations. He's really a sacrificing leader if he's willing to switch to tackle in his senior year when he's poised to

MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference

Better known as Dorkapalooza. The conference was held on March 6th, headlined by luminaries like Rockets GM (and '00 Sloan School grad) Daryl Morey, author Michael Lewis, Colts GM Bill Polian, Mavs owner Mark Cuban, and ESPN Bah-stahhnophile Bill Simmons.

Notre Dame Ready For A Seismic Shakup?

Posted by srr50 on March 9th, 2010 under Football

All the recent talk about proposed conference expansion has centered around Texas being a prime target for either the Pac 10 or Big 10. Now the biggest domino in the BCS is indicating that maybe they are ready to look to make a safe fall. Touchdown Jesus may send the signal that Notre Dame is willing to play nice with others. The talk of the Big East basketball tournament is that the Fighting Irish

Around the Rivals

Football: Boomer And Sooner dig into spring football with NateHeupel pausing to chastize Longhorn fans for our disappointment in an 8th seeded basketball team and our hopes for Garrett Gilbert. OU fan knows well that 2nd year quarterbacks never amount to too much... He rates their DE group as the "most proven in the conference" which is another way of phrasing how I would put it, "inevitably the 2nd best behind the Sacho and co." Their

Texas vs. Harlem Globetrotters recap

Posted by Nickel Rover on March 6th, 2010 under Basketball

Basketball: As the first half was unfolding I felt encouraged by the ball movement, variety of offensive sets, and ball movement on the offense. Aside from too many turnovers for a few minutes I thought the team was going to put it together on the road. If only they could keep track of their guys off the ball...then the game just devolved into one of the worst performances of the season. Awiggo has some early reactions

    Last week I asked Sailor Ripley and friends to come over and share some of their knowledge in our corner of the internet. As you can tell, I didn’t have the money to ship the 6 cases of Old English 800 to Fan Take world headquarters that they demanded so we’re stuck with links.

    Seems like grounds for getting kicked the f of the team. Burglary? What would Stoops have done? What would Tom Osborne have done?

    Interesting, NDS.

    Seems like grounds for getting kicked the f off the team. Don’t you think? Burglary?

    What would Stoops have done? What would Tom Osborne have done? Pretty sure what Mack would do.

    He needs help with the X and 0’s of offense and needs to be more open to zone principles if he doesn’t have the perimeter personnel to play man2man.

    All the rest of the stuff will take care of itself with wins. I’m watching the Big12 championship right now and no one’s saying Frank Martin

    This time of year there’s a lot of teeth gnashing and hand wringing when a top team struggles or gets upset in conference tournament play. Keep in mind that are very good reasons for this all to common “phenomenon”. And it’s not because these great teams suddenly stink.

    I could not agree more about the subject. You have to make the pass go somewhere else than the offense wants. If you can’t stop that, you have to change the angle of the pass. Anything to throw them off.

    I said after Laettner’s shot and pretty much ever since, that guarding the inbounder should be
