Not a suprise here. I look for a.few more and the focus of these scholarships to be on the portal. This is by no means a bad thing to happen

figured as much...folks have speculated but figured that Hall would be back. Jeremy gave Ladner a lot of opportunity so figured he would do the same for Hall

Hearing some chatter that he may be coming here to finish with his brother.

I tried desperately to find a word that describes the sound a basketball makes when it hits the rim on a long shot and bounces away. I thought maybe clank, clunk, clink, boink, and others. I finally settled on clank. I say this because I had to develop a new name for the team. Remember, two years ago, I named them "The Shock Troops," but that description is no longer valid. If the shooting does not improve shortly, I will call them "The Clankers."

I have been impressed with Hart. He has been the player that has improved the most since last year. Iwuakor is a hoss. So far, the best incoming player. I Like Benitez and believe he deserves more playing time.

When I was a senior in high school, the yearly carnival came to town in the Fall. A seemingly easy game caught my attention. The object was to use a kitchen fork with the two prongs split in order to stand a Coke bottle upright. Simple right? I could not do it after several tries. He even let me use my index finger to push the bottle up. I could not do it- it fell over each time. Later that night, I saw him in the local cafe drinking beer. I asked him if I could sit with him, and he agreed. We discussed the game, and I wondered why I couldn't stand the bottle upright. It looked so simple. He told me to try it when I got home. He said 85% of people can't do it because they have paid to try, and the pressure and nerves prevent them from doing it. At home, I did it almost all the time.

So it is with the team. They are trying too hard, and the pressure and nerves are getting to them. They envision the ball missing instead of making the shot. The coaches may be focusing too much on technique instead of relaxation. No team shoots that poorly. I watched the UT and Indiana women's game last night. Those girls hit from all over the court; there is no reason our men can't either.

We hope and pray you all have a wonderful day full of faith, family, food, friends amd football. May God Bless you all this during this Christmas season and beyond.

I saw where the CFL ended their season. I found a listing of the Southern Miss players in the CFL. I can't figure out how to post it.
