College football week 7 thread: Ducks Amuck

Time-Life Books presents: The Grenada Experience. The series designed to help you celebrate the greatest military triumph of our generation. 48 comprehensive volumes, one for every hour of this explosive period in American history. We’ll take you there, with the first troops to land. You’ll experience first-hand what it was like to ask directions from people with English accents. You’ll attend secret meetings at the White House, and meet the men who first realized that, somewhere in the world, there had to be a country we could lick. Call toll-free, and start putting the Grenada experience into focus. It’s important to gloat over Grenada. But gloating isn’t enough. Even bragging isn’t enough. It’s even more important to ask the question, “What is the big deal?” For ourselves, and for future generations.

After the last two games I would like to schedule Grenada for homecoming.

 

Back during the boring days of Covid, I got on a kick about the Falklands war. I watched every video and documentary and read every blog post I could find.
After I exhausted all of them, I decided to do the same thing about Grenada. That took me about 20 minutes.

 

You already play Mercer in November. Don't get greedy.

 

that was the Marine Corps

 

Maybe 'Bama will finally schedule UAB in something besides baseball.

Naaah. Paul Bryant, Jr. isn't dead yet.

 

Panama then. Records set against a team as bad as this UAB team shouldn't count.

 

Somebody check on the kitties.

 

Hell, who hasn't seen Heartbreak Ridge? Army - Bowl Eligible before Halloween. Amazing.

It is amazing how much TV types struggle when they actually have to do the thing they talk about so expertly. Who was/is the most successful talking head turned actual coach? Even Gruden became a worse coach once he returned to the NFL from ESPN. Mike Mayock? Jerry Coleman? The NBA guys bounce back and forth so much - but I'm guessing Steve Kerr is the most successful. Was with TNT for a while before getting the GM job in Phoenix (he did a decent job there), Went back to TNT for a few years and has been lighting it up with the Warriors.

 

Can't let Kirani James get to the outside.

 

How are you going to knock the ball loose before the goal line and only one defender is hustling to try and recover?
