Subject: [NU Sports] Wow! Citrus Bowl ...
Message-ID: <l03130301bdfcc7bc22f5@[66.170.160.84]>

Well, most of us thought the Liberty and Citrus bowls would be the two
games to watch this bowl season ... and neither disappointed.

What an incredible game in Orlando! Drew Tate may indeed be the new Flutie.

And is there a better coach than Ferentz in the nation? Three straight
10-win seasons with three entirely new backfields on offense (well more
than three backfields this year alone!) - just an amazing job done by
someone who's already making the bumblebee fans say "Hayden who?"

So it's at best a .500 bowl season for the Big Ten -- big wins over the SEC
and Big XII and Michigan could make it two apiece by defeating Texas in the
quasi-Rose Bowl. And while Purdue's loss was disappointing and Wisconsin's
expected, both put up game efforts. So a solid postseason for the league
overall -- certainly as good if not better than the rest of the big
conferences.

Bowl excitement finally arrived yesterday and today -- now leave it to the
B(C)S to kill the buzz.:) Though you could make an interesting side wager
on what song will be played most in the BCS ...

__ Hail to the Victors!
__ The Eyes of Texas
__ Boomer Sooner
__ That Damn Three Note Song from USC (and yes, that's the official title:) )

As ABC switches to quasi-Rose Bowl coverage, I already hear those darned
eyes of Texas smiling ... so they take the early lead.:)

What a great game in Orlando ... now back to 364 days of Hawkeye hatred.:)

Go Big Ten!
GO CATS!!!

Amazing last-second win by Iowa.  You've got to hand it to Ferentz and his 
bunch of swashbucklers.  They never quit and epitomized what a team is all 
about.  As a Big Ten fan, I'm proud of them, notwithstanding the old rivalry with 
Hayden F.

Happy New Year everyone.

I don't recall ever having seen back-to-back bowl games won on the 
last play of the game.  

Can any of the remaining games be as dramatic as those two game?

I thought Texas was slightly better than Michigan, and in the long run
I guess that's how it played out.  Does Michigan have more losses in the
Rose Bowl than any other Big 10 team or does it just seem that way?

I wonder how those Iowa fans who were upset about getting Ferentz 
instead of Bob Stoops feel now?  

I predict a Stoops-Ferentz coaching matchup in a NC game, possibly soon.
If they don't get lured away by the NFL, they may be the next pair of 
coaching legends in college football, possibly to rank with the likes of
Paterno (in better days), Bowden, Osborne and Bryant.

>Can any of the remaining games be as dramatic as those two game?

Only comparable thing I can remember recently was 2000 with the Purdue-UGa
OT Outback, MSU-Florida Citrus on a FG at the end and the Orange Bowl
thriller with Bama and Michigan. Only problem was that miserable Rose Bowl
with Wisky and Stanford ... close, yes, but entertaining?

But we usually get one good B(C)S game, so I guess that's bad news for the
Sugar and Orange.:)

>I thought Texas was slightly better than Michigan, and in the long run
>I guess that's how it played out.

Yeah - I thought it was a pretty good matchup ... two talented teams with
coaches who don't always make the right moves but recruit well. I thought
Lloyd was a little too reluctant in the second half to go for the KO punch
and settled for field goals. Heck of a game by Breston, Edwards and Young
though -- still didn't feel right, but for a quasi-Rose Bowl, not bad.:)

>I predict a Stoops-Ferentz coaching matchup in a NC game, possibly soon.
>If they don't get lured away by the NFL, they may be the next pair of

Ferentz has sure done one heck of a job ... I do find it amusing though how
poorly the clock was managed at the end, though, and he admitted as much in
his comments after the game. They only managed one play in the last :28,
with two timeouts going unused ... fortunately, Drew Tate made that one
play count.:)

I don't think Carroll will be leaving SC for awhile (but then again, I
didn't think Saban would be foolish enough to leave Baton Rouge so early),
so those two programs are gonna be in the BCS mix for a long time. Ferentz
is making progress there -- he's still got some tough work ahead to get OSU
and Michigan out of their entrenched position (though NCAA sanctions may
help with the Buckeyes) recruiting and titlewise. But it may indeed happen
soon.

That Texas-OSU game in September should be one heck of an early-season
showdown.

I always like ESPN bowl games because they show the year of the player (ABC
doesn't) -- the Big Ten's looking pretty strong next year with OSU, Minny
and Iowa having a lot of folks back, Michigan returning Hart and Henne, MSU
with some firepower returning ... and don't forget that PSU's dominant
defense returns, so if they get even a halfway competent offense, they'll
be back. As for us, winning those first two games is crucial with the road
trip to ASU third on the list ... then a brutal Big Ten slate. We'll need
Baz at his best and a huge improvement in the secondary. But hope springs
eternal in January.:) Should be another fun football season in '05 ... now
we just gotta wait for it to get here!

GO CATS!!!

That was some finish. The fans from that game looked like they had been to  
hell and back. Of course most were hung over from Friday night and started with 
 the tailgating at 9am. As much as I cringe to say it Iowa saved the big  10.

After 25 games, we're essentially in a two-person race for the final nights
of the B(C)S ...

Ace McInturff has an 18-7 mark and Ivars Embrekts is 17-8. Both have Auburn
pickded for Monday, but Ace has OU and Ivars has SC ... so should the
Trojans prevail, we'd head to tiebreakers and both picked 52.

So Ace is assured of at least a tie, a solo title if Boomer Sooner wins.

We had 36 entries, but the rest of us are too far behind to catch up (if
anyone thinks I miscounted and they are in range, e-mail me). Thanks for
playing.

Message-ID: <20050103053702.18041.qmail@web51306.mail.yahoo.com>

The only reason the Big Ten might play SEC teams is
that it's relatively rare for BT teams to play SEC
teams in non-league games. Indiana-Kentucky happens
each year, but other than that, I cannot remember too
many BT-SEC regular-season games. I kind of like
seeing BT teams play (to me) unfamiliar foes such as
Alabama and Mississippi (but if I lived the South as
Mr. Ament does I might well differ). 

On the other hand, almost every BT team plays Pac-10
teams in non-league games so bowl games with PAC-10
teams have more chances of being rematches. 

I do feel that bowl location is much more important
than who we play. While I would have gladly gone to El
Paso had the Cats gone there, I know many people were
cool to the idea, and I also know Wisconsin fans who
disliked El Paso intensely when they went there. I'd
lobby for a hookup in a place to visit that might be
fun (my tastes in this are not typical, I grant; I
disliked Orlando but loved San Antonio) such as San
Francisco.

I agree that bowl location is more important than who we play and I enjoyed
San Antonio as well.  The Alamo Bowl was my first trip to San Antonio and it
was a pleasant surprise how nice the town was and how much fun it was-well,
other than the game of course.  My comments about El Paso are second-hand
since I've never been there, but I have yet to hear a good thing about it as
a bowl destination. It's also too far for most NU fans and not easy for most
people to get to without a charter.

You can also strike the IU-UK game from the list of BT-SEC games following
this season, I believe.  The contract runs out after this year, I believe,
and they have decided not to renew it at least until the 12 game schedule
becomes permanent.

The location of the game is more important that who we play??  What is the reason for the bowl game anyway?  Obviously there are places I'd rather travel to a bowl game than Detroit (where I'd have to pack a gun) or El Paso.  If NU had a chance to play a bowl game against  team a little better than they are and look real good beating them on national TV it would make little difference to me where the game was as long as NU got the money and the recognition for the win (too bad you have to share the money with the rest of the schools in the conference).  That's the real object isn't it?  Wouldn't that be better for the school than playing a team that would beat the stuffings out of them or a team that everyone expects them to beat in say...Hawaii?    Sure, I'd love it if NU had a bowl game in Vegas or Orlando where others in your party who don't enjoy football would want to go as much as you do.  That would significantly increase my chances of attending...if you know what I m!
ean!  You
 would think there are enough stadiums around the country so that bowl games could be in more interesting locations so both the match-up and the location would be a reason to attend.  I also miss the Big Ten / Pac 10 match-ups.  Big Ten vs. SEC bowl games just don't have the same excitment associated with them.

since I've never been there, but I have yet to hear a good thing about it as
a bowl destination. It's also too far for most NU fans and not easy for most
people to get to without a charter.

You can also strike the IU-UK game from the list of BT-SEC games following
this season, I believe. The contract runs out after this year, I believe,
and they have decided not to renew it at least until the 12 game schedule
becomes permanent.

The only reason the Big Ten might play SEC teams is
that it's relatively rare for BT teams to play SEC
teams in non-league games. Indiana-Kentucky happens
each year, but other than that, I cannot remember too
many BT-SEC regular-season games. I kind of like
seeing BT teams play (to me) unfamiliar foes such as
Alabama and Mississippi (but if I lived the South as
Mr. Ament does I might well differ). 

On the other hand, almost every BT team plays Pac-10
teams in non-league games so bowl games with PAC-10
teams have more chances of being rematches. 

I do feel that bowl location is much more important
than who we play. While I would have gladly gone to El
Paso had the Cats gone there, I know many people were
cool to the idea, and I also know Wisconsin fans who
disliked El Paso intensely when they went there. I'd
lobby for a hookup in a place to visit that might be
fun (my tastes in this are not typical, I grant; I
disliked Orlando but loved San Antonio) such as San
Francisco.

IMHO, they ran out of interesting locations 10-15 bowls ago.
Shreveport??  Boise??

Unless you want to include all the domed stadiums that don't already
have bowls as sites, and I don't know that any of them are in
interesting locations (eg, Indianapolis or Syracuse), you have to take 
the outside weather into account.  That's what doomed the Gotham Bowl.  

How many more places are there in California, Arizona or Florida to host
bowls or do you want to double up on the Rose Bowl?

One of the local papers was running a poll last week in which they
claimed that roughly half of this year's bowl-eligible teams would
have been ineligible based on the graduation requirements that are 
currently scheduled to go into effect in 2007.  If that's really the 
case, then this year's near-miss on running out of bowl-eligible
teams could become a reailty.  

(BTW, if you haven't checked out yesterday's Tank McNamara, it's a zinger
aimed at the Huskers.)

 From your comment, I suspect that you haven't actually gone to a 
football game at Ford Field.  I went to the Motor City Bowl last year.  
Other than the traffic jam to get into the place, Ford Field was a great 
place to see a bowl game (much better than the Alamo Dome IMHO).  Far 
from feeling threatened, I was looking forward to the possibility of 
going there again.

As far as your comment on Detroit, it certainly has it's problems, but 
they are working very hard to put that image behind them.  The Ford 
Field/Comerica Park/Fox Theater area is geared to tourism and rivals the 
best that any big city has to offer.  When you throw in world class 
destinations like the Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village, the Detroit 
Institute of Art, and Zingerman's Deli (Ann Arbor) - you can have a lot 
of fun in a couple of days.

That's why civic boosters put money into things like the Motor City 
Bowl.  They want people to come and see for themselves, rather than just 
gossip based on what they read in the newspapers.

I'll second that. I was shocked at how beautiful Ford Field is -- it really
doesn't feel like a dome. You're not in an enclosed bubble, but more like a
giant airport terminal with the way the one side opens into the concourse.

And I didn't even think the traffic was bad -- it was right off the
Interstate and easy to find. Maybe not having it on a weekday afternoon
would help, but that's about it. The weather may be chilly (I, for one,
would LOVE some outdoor cold-weather bowl games - make those Florida teams
play in snow -- there's enough to do in Chicago or NYC to fill bowl week
with cool events and justify watching a football game outdoors!:) ) ... but
I was pleasantly surprised at Detroit.

Still, the game itself is a no-win for the Big Ten (if we beat a MAC team,
it's "so what - you should" and if we lose it's a big embarassment, even
though the MAC has had some good teams lately).

I haven't been to Tampa, El Paso or Nashville (at least for bowl week), but
have enjoyed the four destinations NU has traveled recently. Pasadena is
absolutely perfect. Orlando was probably my least favorite, but there's
certainly a lot to do there that week with Disney, Universal, SeaWorld,
etc. San Antonio has such a great downtown with everything centered within
walking distance and Ford Field is a great place to watch a game.

I've been to Nashville outside of bowl week and imagine that would be a
good place for a bowl game with the attractions and such. Tampa is at least
within driving distance of Orlando (and has good early bird specials from
what I hear). :) The only one I know nothing of is ElPaso and like others
on the list, I haven't heard good things. I just think being stuck midway
between Houston and LA in the middle of the desert has to hurt (though the
city itself HAS to be more interesting than Houston:) ).

I still like that idea of tying in with the Pac 10 at the Vegas Bowl.
That'd certainly be a fun place to visit during bowl season.

GO CATS!!!

PS - Did you notice Saturday how the quasi-Rose Bowl trophy was all
different and there's confetti and all that stuff now? Along with the rain
clouds hovering, it didn't even seem much like the place we were at nine
years ago.

I think everyone would love Tampa if we ever got into the Australian  
Steakhouse Bowl.   I go down to Longboat Key (Sarasota) every  Christmas Week.  Tampa 
has a great airport, good weather, wonderful  beaches, good restaurants and a 
beautiful stadium right near the  airport.    Unfortunately, NU passed over a 
few years back for  this great bowl and had to go to the Alamo to be 
slaughtered.

Yes, in that I would expect the foe to be a
significant team because it's a BT bowl. I'd rather
play Alabama in Nashville than Boise. If the choice is
Troy in Nashville and Alabama in Boise, I'd swallow
hard and pick Troy. Of course I would rather see NU
playing top-caliber teams rather than bozos (but a
little part of me sez play a bozo team in the Whazzat
Bowl and beat them to end the bowl drought) but with
bowls you take what you get.

Really, if it's not the Rose Bowl, do we care who we
play? I don't, leaving aside revenge factors
(Nebraska, USC), bragging rights (insert school you
want to lord it over where you live) and the very few
schools I would genuinely look forward to see an NU
matchup against (N*** D***, Army, North Carolina,
UCLA, Ga. Tech). Otherwise, New Mexico, Nevada,
Mississippi and BC all look the same in a minor bowl.

But we do care about location, don't we? Many of us
could not afford Hawaii. Detroit was OK -- once. Boise
in December? BRRRR!!! El Paso? Barf. Shreveport? See
Detroit. Compare that list to: Pasadena, New Orleans,
San Antonio, Tampa, San Francisco, San Diego. I know
where I'd rather go! 

That's the real object isn't it? 

Is it? For the fans? Is it? I don't know. Of course
everybody wants to win but a nice trip is a big part.

> Wouldn't that be better for the school than playing

Well, we had the first version in San Antonio and the
second (sort of, I realize) in Detroit and as awful as
the Alamo game was I think most people had more fun in
San Antonio.
  
where others in your party
> who don't enjoy football would want to go as much as

My point precisely. Compare my lists above and see
where your "others" would rather go!!!

Subject: [NU Sports] BCS used to stand for ...
Message-ID: <l03130300be010983dc81@[66.170.161.95]>

... Bowden Computer System after FSU made all those conspicuous title game
appearances despite other 1-loss teams (in some cases who had BEATEN FSU)
sitting out of the title game.

With "Saint" Bobby's demise into a league where he's forced to play more
than one competitive game per year, the BCS may now have to be renamed the
Big XII Computer System.

If OU comes back from 45-10, it'll be a heck of a game, but I'm tired and
gonna call it for the Trojans. So if that holds up, since OU won its title
over a disputed #2 FSU team in 2000 ...

* 2001: A Nebraska team that didn't even PLAY for its league title and gave
up 63 points in its final game, a loss, was somehow placed in the title
game against Miami over 1-loss Oregon ... and the Big XII team was soundly
beaten.

* 2003: An Oklahoma team that LOST its league title game (and not by a
small margin either) was somehow placed in the title game against LSU over
1-loss USC ... and the Big XII team was soundly beaten.

* 2004: An Oklahoma team that needed a couple fortunate breaks to escape
from Aggieland and Bedlam was somehow placed in the title game against USC
over an unbeaten Auburn team that had defeated three top-10 foes and ran
the table in the SEC ... and the Big XII team was soundly beaten.

There was no such luck in 2002 because OSU made it through unbeaten while
OU slipped up late in the year, but when the early BCS rankings came out,
the eventual champ Buckeyes were behind the Sooners and Hurricanes.

In the other three years, the computers were a big part in helping the Big
XII team (USC was #1 in the two human polls, OU #1 in the computers) ...
heck, you'd think Jeff Sagarin went to Kansas instead of Indiana the way
the Big XII seems to have half the teams in his top 10 every year.

I think it's time to look at the last four or five seasons and realize that
the Big XII has been seriously overrated as a conference. Texas had a nice
bowl win this year over Michigan in a game that could have gone either way,
and Tech blitzed an uninspired Cal, but Oklahoma, Okie State and A&M were
soundly defeated by Big Ten, Pac 10 and SEC foes in front of what were
pretty much home crowds for the Big XII schools. They rarely have big wins
outside of league play in September (though Texas will get a chance next
year in the Shoe) -- I'll go back to what I said in picking against OU last
eyar about how in 2003, Texas lost to Arkansas, OU barely scraped by Bama,
Nebraska squeaked past Penn State and KSU was beaten by Marshall.

No doubt there are some good teams and incredible talent in the Big XII ...
but it gets treated as this super conference when it hasn't really shown
that it deserves to be up with the SEC and Big Ten in overall quality and
depth yet.

It's too bad we didn't get to see Auburn and Southern Cal.

GO CATS!!!

Tremendous win for our b-ball team.  Sure, IU isn't what it's been in 
the past, but our team really put it together tonight.  What makes the 
win particularly significant is that we did it without T.J. Parker, who 
sat out the entire game with the flu.  Everyone stepped it up a notch, 
and it was clearly one of the best performances I've seen NU have in a 
long time.  Now, we've got to see some improvement on the road.  Our 
next three games are at MSU, at Michigan, then Illinois at home.  If we 
could somehow win even one of those games, our team's confidence will 
surely rise for the rest of the season.  -- Jim B.

   It's been awhile since I posted; the Hawaii game was such a downer!  Then 
with the holidays, etc. yada, yada...
   Another 6-6 year?  Yes, but to the anti-Walkers, this team achieved their 
record without Duke, and posted a watershed victory, then wiped out 8 years of 
misery against Purdue. And I was at State College when we won AT Penn St. The 
run defense and pass rush were better, wide outs (before Philmore went down) 
and quarterbacking were better.  
   For the record, there have been times that Walker's decisions have had me 
foaming at the mouth.  The fake punt against ASU was a bomb, and taking the 
first 6 games to figure out that Herron was our feature back was questionable.
   Still, I'm convinced that Walker has done more good for this program than 
harm, and I'm counting the lawsuit in on that statement.  RW runs a clean 
program, and has  signed many great players, even under some of the toughest 
academic standards in the country.   As for the argument that TV and Barnett has 
more to do than any success RW has generated, let's remember that "great" 1998 
team that went 3-9 or whatever it was, the bloom was off the rose.  And TV?  
Hell, Duke is on TV here in the east about every weekend (I'm talking football) 
and I don't see all this wonderful exposure helping them.
   I he a Knute Rockne? No.  But he's no Rick Venturi, either. RW's a winner 
and a good recruiter.  I see alot of Frank Beamer in Walker; no BS. When Va. 
Tech was at the crossroads, they kept Beamer.  Just look now.
   I went on this here list and said a losing record would be grounds for 
RW"s dismissal in 2004.  But I saw progress, and I also see RW building depth on 
both sides of the ball.  I can't wait to see Rick McDole get a shot; he's as 
big as Streif. (Streif made the all Big 10 team per AP; along with Herron and 
McGarigle.  I didn't see much on the list about their honors)
   About hawaii, the 41 points was misleading, as more than 1 poster has 
commented.  We really needed to play ball control , and except for here and there, 
that didn't happen.
   And of couse, another excruciating loss to a mid-major team.  TCU really 
mailed it in after Texas Tech hung 70 on 'em; they weren't the same team that 
we played.
  Schedule/start times:  the only thing I can add is try to go on the road 
the first week of the year, or schedule a team with some sort of local or broad 
fan appeal, such as Northern Ill. locally, or someone like Navy/Air Force, who 
always brings a crowd.  You can bet we'll have trouble getting 21,22 thousand 
for the opener against Ohio.  
   May I suggest a 6:00 PM Central kick-off?  I love that starting time, as 
someone near Evanston would have a good part of the day to themselves and still 
be able to tail-gate, go to the game and get home at a decent hour.  FWIW: 
the Baltimore Orioles are starting alot of their Saturday games at 4:30 for the 
reasons I've mentioned.  
   Hope all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, although it would 
have been better in Nashville!

                      GO CATS!!!      Eric

Just tremendous. I have to admit after the recent
unimpressive wins over a series of garbage-barge type
foes I had little hope for a good BT season, but,
maybe ... as Jim said, now the Cats have do it on the
road. But this was one heck of a good start!

Eanet said this was the largest margin of victory since 1914 so I guess there can not be too many more than this given that is 91 years of 20 or less points.  The 1914 victory was 41 - 19 or something like that.

Yep--not many wins of over 20+ points, though I was at the game when we beat 
MSU by 18 the year they won the NCAA title and all of their other  four losses 
that year were  either by 1 or 2 points only.

It was the largest margin of victory over IU since, I believe, 1914. Far and
away the most complete game by the Cats this season.  Jenkins really stepped
it up when he was needed, but across the board the Cats played better than
I've seen them play all year.  Finally, there was good ball movement and
terrific defense.  Thompson's presence in the middle was a big difference,
especially with the young IU frontline.  Most impressive stat of the game
had to be the team being led in rebounds by the 5'9" Jenkins.  

It's a tough stretch coming up but the team is certainly rounding into shape
at the right time and Welsh-Ryan is once again becoming a tough place for
visitors.  It may be hard to get one of the next three but I wouldn't count
these Cats out.  Remember, we beat Illinois at home last year.

Just tremendous. I have to admit after the recent
unimpressive wins over a series of garbage-barge type
foes I had little hope for a good BT season, but,
maybe ... as Jim said, now the Cats have do it on the
road. But this was one heck of a good start!

Yup - broke that nasty league opener streak too. But really, this is what
we HAVE to do this year. We HAVE to beat IU, Purdue, PSU and Minnesota. And
we HAVE to win our games at home. So this was a double whammy. Carmody's
turned Welsh-Ryan into a nice little home court for the Cats and seeing the
attendance at 7,000 for a heavy-snow warning weeknight shows that we're
starting to have a fan base for a home court edge, too.

Now we'll go to the other extreme with a trip to the Izzone. A win would be
a great start, but the big thing will be to see how we handle a hostile
environment.

>away the most complete game by the Cats this season.  Jenkins really stepped

That was huge. When I saw TJ on the sidelines, I was worried. He's the
pulse of the team, but Jenkins stepped up big-time. That's another thing
Carmody's building - a bench. Doyle, Seacat, Jenkins. It's nice when we
have backup.

>I've seen them play all year.  Finally, there was good ball movement and

Definitely -- and he's looking much more comfortable than when I saw the
Cats on TV in December. I expect the team chemistry and Mike's role will
only get better.

>visitors.  It may be hard to get one of the next three but I wouldn't count
>these Cats out.  Remember, we beat Illinois at home last year.

Well, the Illini are looking mighty tough.:) But really, we're watching
Carmody in the building stages, and Cat fans should be encouraged with what
we're seeing. MSU, Wisky, Iowa, Michigan are all gonna be tough, but if we
can dictate tempo and have our home court edge and a big man in the middle,
who's to say we can't make a run? Yeah, it's just one game in, but there's
reason for optimism here on the court and in the stands.

GO CATS!!!

What happened?
Does this mean that MSU beats Indiana by 50?

Here's my take on what happened:

* We played a better team, on their home floor, where they rarely lose.
* we played without TJ Parker, who started but could not continue 
playing after 5 minutes because of his illness
* we played without Davor Duvancic, who is also ill.
* we played a long stretch without Vedran, who left the game in severe 
pain with a shoulder injury.  Fortunately, it wasn't a recurrence of 
the shoulder injury that plagued him for two years but a severe bruise.
* We got into serious foul trouble with Mike Thompson, and Vince Scott 
had to play for a huge part of the game.  Tolic wasn't an option - he 
didn't travel either.
* We committed 9 turnovers in the first ten minutes (and 12 in the 
first half) largely because MSU's defense was so good that we had a 
number of shot clock violations when, without TJ, we didn't have a good 
look during the offensive possession.
*Hachad and Jenkins also found themselves in foul trouble.

that's about it.

Jenkins can help us cover for the loss of Parker for a while, but 
nobody on the team can make up for the loss of VV, especially when DD 
is out and MT's in foul trouble.

Pretty accurate list. I'd add one more ...

* MSU is the thorn in our side for style of play. We can break a lot of
other teams down with backdoor cuts or making them play 30 seconds of
defense with our O. But not MSU. They're just a big matchup problem for us
- always have been. Add the factors below and you get a harsh trip back to
earth.

Someone get these kids some chicken soup or something for that flu fast!:)
We have a tough opening stretch with a trip to Ann Arbor and Illinois
coming up -- gotta get healthy soon.

GO CATS!!!

I agree with Eric's general sentiments about RW.  As for the comparison to 
Beamer, I just wish that we could be half of what VaTech is on special 
teams.  My biggest continuing gripe with Walker is the lack of discipline 
and consistency on special teams.

We held our own for the middle twenty minutes, with the MSU lead 
fluctuating between 11 and 15.  We were never able to get it to single 
digits, but they were never able to bust it open, either.  The early 
turnovers and the late fatigue (because of the three flu cases and the foul 
trouble) were the differences in the ballgame.  I'm not saying that we 
would have won at Breslin -- very few teams not wearing green do that -- 
but it would have been a lot more competitive with a full squad.

I think most teams in college football might make the same wish.  VT's
emphasis on special teams is rare.  Given their success on special teams
I'm not sure why more teams haven't take that page from their playbook.

Discipline is not a RW trademark, and that's not just on special teams.  

I wonder if NU got called for more 15 yard penalties, especially 
unsportsmanlike conduct, than any other team in the Big 10 this year or 
if it just seemed like it?

OTOH, what teams come to mind when you say 'disciplined'?  I can't think 
of any.

Those who have played the game can add to this, but there is certain Kamikaze
attitude required by great special teams players. 

On the return teams, you have to dive into the on rushing defenders, and try to
influence them in a predetermined angle so your man can break loose.

On the defending teams, you are diving head long into either the wall or at the
ball carriers. As much as you'd like discipline, the great plays, the ones we
remember, are where the guy times his hit to lay out the ball carrier,
preferable right after they catch the ball.

When we coached special teams with the kids, we always talked about running your
lane until the ball carrier committed, then converge. It worked most of the
time, and we didn't get burned that much, but the good kids at returns were all
a little nutty.

Just my observations. 

You go nuts over late hits, and what could be called cheap shots, but every
special team player makes marginal late hits, and most could be considered a
cheap shot if you think about it.

Re: special teams--add lack of any decent kicking game.  When GB took  us to 
Pasadena and Orlando, one of the difference makers were our PK's and  Punters. 
 A team like ours doesn't have the margin for error in terms of  missed FG's. 
 Just replay the TCU game, which ultimately cost us a bowl  bid, for 
starters.  
 
It would seem to me that it should be easier to recruit kickers at  NU than 
speedy skill players.  The type of HS athletes that go out for  the kicking 
positions might well be the "cerebral", less brawny, more brainy,  jocks that NU 
can go after.  Anybody disagree?

You're perpetuating the myth that athletes are all dumb jocks.  

How about the myth that all kickers are from middle european countries
and know more about who won the World Cup than who won the Super Bowl?  :-)

The plain and simple fact is that really GOOD kickers are a rather 
rare commodity, and not that many coaches place a high value on recruiting 
them anyhow.  I wonder how many 1-A schools have starting kickers who
were offered scholarships straight out of high school?  I'd be surprised
if it was more than half of them.

How many NFL teams fired their kicker DURING THE SEASON this year?!
(If the TV folks are right, the Vikings may fire one during the playoffs.)

There is no question that good kickers are not easy to come by and the fact
that most schools do not put them on scholarships straight out of high
school should give RW a recruiting advantage when he goes out to fill a very
desperate need.  Surely even he recognizes the glaring need of an improved
kicking game for 2005, considering the endless tinkering he did with special
teams last season.  Let's hope he uses a scholarship to recruit a good
kicker  and then continue to recruit one or two walk-on kickers so that
there is competition for such an obvious need.

I had 17 openings at the end of the season, but there are stories about several
5th year kids who don't plan to return.

I suspect the actual number is around 20-22

I guess I should have phrased it better.  "Discipline" and "consistency on 
special teams" weren't two separate things.  My single gripe is with 
"discipline and consistency" on special teams.  Our woeful kick coverage, 
the frequent penalties on returns, and our occasionally frightening 
blocking at the line on punts are always frustrating.  And what can 
possibly be the problem with a FG unit that can boot it through the 
uprights from 50 in practice, but struggles with 25-yarders in game 
situations?  Concentration and discipline.

That's the only thing I really miss about the GB era.  We've discussed 
before how GB made it an honor to be selected for special teams, and the 
team bought into that idea.  In six years, I've never seen that on one of 
our Walker-coached clubs.  So many games can turn on special teams 
play.  dOSU was in that game at the end because we allowed a punt return 
for a TD.  We gave up a PR for TD to Hawaii.  Breaston took one back in the 
Michigan game, granted after that game was pretty much over.  Many other 
games it seemed that we just giving up way too much field.  I would love to 
see Walker come out and at least acknowledge that there's been a problem 
and say he's going to do something about it.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what Walker did with Huffman.  The kid was 
money in high school.  Without him, Schaumburg doesn't win the state title 
his senior year, no question.  Yet he never performed up to expectations in 
college.  And that's the one aspect of the game that doesn't change much 
from one level to the next.  Whether you're in HS, college, or pro, you've 
got the same step-off, the same cadence, you're kicking from the same 
distance, and the ball's the same size.  The only difference is the size 
and speed of the guys trying to block it, but that's the line's 
problem.  So what happens to some kickers?  It has to be either mental or 
it's that they get a little screwed up when they fully grow up from boys to 
men and their bodies don't act the same way.  I don't know what else it 
could be.

A good kicking coach, even during camp once in a while, is a good thing to have.

During David's junior year at Greensboro, I don't think they hit one FG. The
coach there went out and hired a local guy who was a Div I kicking coach [and
who worked at the kicking camp at Elon every year] who came in and had their top
kicker making 90% of the FGs - it's a mind set, foot placement and timing.

We sent our local HS kicker, one of Andrew's buddies, down to his camp before
his Junior year - he came back hitting 40-45 yarders, and made a 47 yarder in a
game. His PATs we gaining altitude when they went thru the uprights.

BTW - some of the parents used to shag balls for him when he practiced, all by
himself with a ball holder.

I wonder if Huff's problems go back to his Soph year when the Cats brought in
the transfer kicker from Florida. He was turned into a rather good punter, then
had to come back as placekicker his final 2 years. I always wonder that had he
made that first FG at TCU, if he had continued the season as NU's top gun.

I also wonder about the horny toad wagon with the yellow flashing lights in the
end zone, off the the right behind the goal posts. I know you're not supposed to
look at those things as a kicker, but having a set of police car lights in your
field of vision has to be distracting.

You left out the biggest factor.  That's the coach. 

I don't know what the story is specifically with Huffman, but I do know 
that success in college has as much to do with coaching as anything else.

Kids can get by on talent in HS.  HS coaches love their talented players 
because those are the ones that often are the difference between winning 
and losing.  Talented HS kids can even overcome bad coaching through 
sheer athletic ability.  That's not the case in college.  In college 
everyone is talented, it is very hard work, and the coach doesn't always 
love you.

I agree that kicking should be least affected by these factors, but 
obviously from the small sample of our recent kickers, something is 
broken.  If you assume that we are recruiting kids who were HS standouts 
(e.g. Huffman), our coaching staff needs to do a better job of helping 
these kids make the transition from HS to college.

ESPN had a very good show on outstanding coaches, and the point was that  
they were all outstanding teachers first. Maybe Walker is not a good teacher  
especially for kickers.

Based on the Daily Herald article we have never beaten a team ranked number one in 12 attempts.

I know we beat Magic and the Spartans in 1979.  Is that the highest ranked team we have ever beaten and if so what was their ranking?

We have tickets and are going to the Fast Break Club reception before the game.

I was at last years Ill-noise game, but I was also at the Ill-noise game where it took us 15 minutes to score a single point.  I am hopeful, but not optimistic.  I was very optimistic after last years flashes of brilliance, but so far(excluding Indiana) they are a 8th or 9th place big ten team.

Go Cats!

We sure gave #1 UCLA a major scare in 1969.  The Bruins were on their 
way to winning a third straight (out of seven in a row) NCAA titles. 
 They came into Chicago Stadium with Lew Alcindor (Kareen Abdul-Jabbar) 
and company.  We couldn't miss in the first half, and we were leading 
them 45-35 at the break -- the greatest haltime deficit UCLA ever faced 
during Alcindor's three seasons in Westwood.  But reality set in during 
the second half.  The Bruins outscored us, 46-22, for an 81-67 victory.

According to two of the players, Larry Glass's halftime speech was
something like this:

   Well, guys, it was a great first half effort, but we know it won't last.
   Let's look respectable in the 2nd half.

Thanks, Mark, for the kind words (not to mention the amazing fact that 
you happened to be watching MSNBC on a Sunday morning!).  For those 
interested in inaugural sorts of things, I'm doing a taping for the CBS 
Evening News that's is tentatively supposed to air on Wednesday evening. 
 And, for those in the D.C. area, I'll be signing books at the Madison 
Hotel on Wednesday at what they're calling an "Inaugural Literary Tea" 
from 3-6 pm.  I'll be there with a feather quill pen, and James and 
Dolley Madison and Thomas Jefferson will also be there to meet the 
guests as if we were all in the year 1805.  Should be fun!  -- Jim B.

How key was not having Thompson this afternoon?  Just a few more 
rebounds and we would have had that game, I think.

Does anyone have any inside information about what's up?  This is the 
second time he's had an issue for breaking team rules.  At least the 
last time he was out for only about 10 minutes of the game (I'm not 
sure it was a suspension, actually, but he didn't start).  I think the 
last time he just missed the team bus to the airport, or something like 
that.

The other players don't seem to have this problem.  Is he a little 
cocky coming to play at NU from Duke?  It doesn't look that way on the 
court, but these violations of team rules are a problem.

I think Thompson's absence was key, but it also shed additional light 
on other problems.

Carmody told Dave Eanet on WGN before the game that Thompson missed 
class more than he should.  He really let his teammates down.

Aaron Johnson was the only PSU player who could cause matchup problems 
for us, and Thompson is the only physical player we have who could have 
slowed Robinson's rebounding down.  But most of the Cats showed little 
heart and hustle in even attempting to get rebounds.  Without Thompson, 
we should still be better than Penn State.  But we weren't today.

It was a terrible day for the Cats, and for their outlook.

>Carmody told Dave Eanet on WGN before the game that Thompson missed
>class more than he should.  He really let his teammates down.

Yeah -- whatever it was, he really hurt the team. If it is an issue with
cutting class, kudos to Carmody for enforcing the rules. But Thompson
shouldn't need the reminder.

It's too bad, because we needed to break that losing streak. Certainly
there's no shame in losing at Ann Arbor and East Lansing and dropping a
home game to #1 Illinois, but we HAVE to beat the Penn States of the world
to have any postseason hopes. We needed Mike this weekend and he let the
team down big time.

With Thompson, we're a team capable of competing ... look at some of the
teams we've beaten. Indiana and DePaul in particular have looked pretty
solid lately.

>slowed Robinson's rebounding down.  But most of the Cats showed little
>heart and hustle in even attempting to get rebounds.  Without Thompson,
>we should still be better than Penn State.  But we weren't today.

Yeah - it's kind of sad when no one can grab a board and then 5'10" Jenkins
comes in and snags a hustle rebound three seconds off the bench. Vedran, TJ
and company need to start stepping up and getting the team focused.

Iowa's had some tough breaks lately ... it'd be nice to break the streak
against them this week.

GO CATS!!!
