On the bright side ...

[Bornthrilla]

I know it's been pretty much doom and gloom around here since the WSSU loss, but here are some things I am optimistic about:


1) The Future is The Present

I told you so. I told you so. I told you so. Anybody who saw Derek Gould perform in the season opener knows why I predicted before his freshman year that he will break every receiving record at this school before his career is over. Last Saturday, he ran perfect routes and caught everything that was thrown to him. All he does in find a way to get open. With a real quarterback throwing him passes, he could average 10 catches and over 100 yards EVERY SINGLE GAME.


2) Justin Ferrell is Justin "For Real"

Yes that kickoff return was breathtaking but I was even more impressed by his coverage ability and tackling skills at the safety position. Right now, he has gotta be on the short list for best defensive backs in the conference. Donald Dorsey played very well also so I don't think it's far-fetched to say we might have the top safety combo in the MEAC right now.


3) Doug Brown is still available.

Put him on the offensive coaching staff and give him some play calling responsibilities and we automatically win a minimum of 3 games this year. He can coach both receivers and DBs and he has a gospel singing voice like you wouldn't believe. I downloaded one of his recent solo gospel mixtapes (Your Arms Are Too Short To Play Bump and Run on Jesus) from itunes and I can't stop jamming it. Check out track No. 7. But as far as his football coaching ability- he's young, passionate and knowledgeable. Give him a shot Coach Lee; you won't be disappointed.


4)Uhhh ... that's about all I got.

Can't think of any more positives right now.

We've had kickoff returns for touchdowns in week 1 & 2! This time, Torrian Warren returned a kickoff 78 yards for an Aggies touchdown.

The band sounded nice. After the game I was able to pull off a corn from my pinky toe. That felt good.

They are obviously better than most people think.

[Bornthrilla]

That is a testament to Maynor and Hayes.'

WSSU's program was left for dead after the move back down to D2 last year and now look at them - they are HBCU state champs.

Is WSSU thinking playoffs yet?

[ohsixrain]

They should be...WSSU just put the CIAA on names that they are for real. So, get ready for the shoulda, woulda, couldas to start soon. And the first one will be...we shoulda interviewed Connell when we fired Fobbs.

[ohsixrain]

oops, I meant notice...my rugrat is messing with me while I type.

[Bornthrilla]

And just like that ... we have stopped throwing the ball to Derek Gould.

I swear, it seems like we are trying out best not to have an effective offense.

[thefriscotxaggie]

problem is to date neither of the current QB's see the field - Gould runs a very good deep pattern and crossing route. They are not easy routes to throw when you dont see the field or have some level of comfort in the pocket. Thats why the majority of pass plays we complete and attempt are 10 yard out patterns

To date both QB are throwing the ball to the receiver not to a spot and well all know that does not even work in high school nor less college

Hopefully Morgan is settling down and his vision will improve.

So why do we always have Buster Cooper running a short crossing route? He is the smallest receiver on the team.
