My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Preseason Prediction: “Dave Doeren will not get a chance to get a second win against Bill Belichick because of a midseason coaching change.”

Exactly. My hope for Dave Doeren is that he can enjoy life from this point forward free from a game that evolved away from him.

I think it’s the right move to make, but I legit feel for Doeren in that it must be maddening to see all these players that he would’ve developed into high draft picks become draft picks from other schools

A sincere and emphatic thank you to Dave Doeren. He was victimized by his own success that elevated the program to a place where we (fairly) expected more. In the development era of CFB, he excelled at finding and developing 3 stars into legit NFL talent. The development era is over, and it was…

…always going to be challenging for Dave to excel in this new world we find ourselves in. But you don’t last 14 years anywhere without doing a lot of things right, and he did it cleanly while being a fantastic member of the Raleigh community (supporting neurodivergent causes). Thank you, Dave.

Maybe they did.

I’ve never really considered that Boo would make a move before the season ends. This performance is giving me second thoughts, because they’re playing like a team who knows something.

It’s “shore up,” not “sure up.”

Merriam-Webster@merriam-webster.com

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

No chance on that attempt. Having no coaching or kicking experience, I’m 100% convinced the best on-side strategy is to laser one into the Stanford up man closest to the ball.

You have 10 guys defending a field goal try instead of 11, who gives a fuck, you weren’t going to block it and they weren’t going to fake it even if they saw you were down a man. You need all your timeouts.

When did “itch” become a verb? Overheard someone say “My dog itched her ass so much on the carpet.” My kids are huge offenders of this trend. Itch does not = Scratch
