Says the man who "prematurely" pulled the trigger on JMU's under .500 season last year. :kisswink:


EWU may not pull it out in the end, I predicted they will, but after the Griz last two games ... things don't look to bright for the "Reign of the Griz".
Well, JMU can thank ME for that little turnaround.

A "thank you" would be appropriate, you ingrate. :tothehand: :tothehand:

I chose undisciplined players but I really think it is coaching. These players are used to Bobby Hauck and he was a disciplinarian. I remember Chase Reynolds fumbled in the first quarter and we did not see him until after the half. You fumbled you were taken out, you didn't execute you sat your arse on the bench. He was a stickler for the details and you did you job or somebody else would. I remember watching him run practice and it was very physical and down to the minute. Pflugrad seems to be more laid back and maybe these kids need someone in their face to get them to focus.... just a thought

I think that's part of it too putt. I love how aggressive the D plays but they walk a very thin line with that aggressiveness that currently and possibly in the future is gonna keep stacking up some big penalties in key situations. I think we really could use a little more discipline out there for sure.

I went with the new system option thinking that it is the root cause and a few of the other options are symptoms. Actually the games have been close but there is "something" lacking in The Griz at this point of the season in my observation. I'm not sure just what that "something" is but it's like there is a disturbance in the Force.
