I need more Vandwagon! He played well in the 1st Wake game, with 10 & 7 and a block. But he didn’t score in the last 14 minutes…
re: rebounding – granted, it must improve, but as Odom pointed out the ball was going right to Miami a lot of the time (in Miami’s end)
Lotsa missed shots by State’s “other” players. They must be happy. NOw get the ball back to Warren 🙂
^ I don’t know that it’s about caring where someone was born per se. I think it’s more that some feel like State should have a built in recruiting advantage with an athlete who has grown up in the area and might possibly be a State fan.
Agreed foose. I like the saying “you make your own luck”. And along those lines, here’s an interesting article about “luck”…
I finally found an article in the WSJ that noted that Russell was taking graduate courses At Wisconsin in Educational Leadership. A Masters takes 2 years, right? So for now I’m assuming that his only degree is from State.
Tacking (tackling?) on a point to Tau’s post, it would appear that Seattle teaches how to tackle and actually put the opponent on the ground. I see way too many players – college and pro – go for the strip and allow another yard or two or three. Seattle allowed very little gain after contact yesterday.
Wilson graduated from State, yes? Then he’s a State grad, regardless of where he played during his final year of eligibility or what feeble minded Holes would like to think. I was happy for his success at Wisc., and like others here think that it helped his draft chances showing that he could play behind a pro-sized line.
re: playing with a lead – I had no doubts at all that Seattle would prevail after the 1st half, and I got the feeling that once Harvin ran the kickoff home the ‘Hawks D was focused on keeping the shutout. A goal within a goal. By the time Denver finally scored it was too late.
I’m with ya foose. I would have been fine with the entire Hawks D sharing the MVP. [edit] It’s especially ironic that the media spent 2 weeks harping on Sherman’s postgame comments as self-serving and disrespectful to his team, yet the media insists on identifying one person on the team as better than the others.
The game itself was nuts. After the safety, aka the fastest score in SB history, we wondered how long a kickoff runback would take. Harvin answered that question for us. 12 seconds – tie. We joked about needing an INT run back for a TD – bingo. How about a fumble recovery – yep. The only thing I missed was a patented Beast Mode run. Fun day.
What an amazing game. I’m practically speakless. I think I can hear the Seattle cheers from here. Loved hearing Aikman stand up for Russell and dispel the “game manager” nonsense.
Request for next game thread, please start a new thread to eliminate scrolling through all of the preview… Thanks!
“NC State. Where moral victories will have to do.”
More like where reality lives. I don’t know anyone who was expecting a win.
