Pemberton is really smooth. Still very early, but the way she's going she'll be in contention for freshman of the year. Really like her play and attitude. Seems humble and coachable, a great combination, especially when coupled with skill.

I'm thinking that he would be a good choice. Landry or King wouldn't be bad, either. All three former QB's.

Suspected that, but good to know from someone who's actually seen him play.

Good for Tommy! Loved watching him play; one of my favorite players. Best of luck to him at MSU.

Miller's article says that Martens is enrolling for the spring semester today. Excited about his potential.

The guy really knows how to hit.

Merry Christmas everyone!!! (Luke 2:1-20).

Unfortunately true.

I don't doubt your analysis. It's just what I observed from the few minutes of the second half that I happened to catch.

Didn't see much of the game, but, from what I did see, Hurst was setting a lot of screens for her teammates instead shooting the ball every other time that she touched it. Also, she was letting a guard bring the ball up the floor, as it should be. Now, if she starts posting up down low, she'll be hard to stop. She's a good finisher.

Yeah, Devils Lake beat Sheyenne 3-2 despite being outshot 51-18.

And Orth. They were both gamers.

To your point, it looked like E. Illinois had a lot of grade-schoolers in the crowd.

Couldn't quite pull off a miraculous comeback. 67-55. Had a couple opportunities to cut it to 8 or 7 after being down by 26 or more.

Now 58-48.

Coming back a little in the second half. Now 56-42. Showing some grit.

Yada, yada, yada, repeat, repeat, repeat, etc., etc., etc., blah, blah, blah, wash, rinse, repeat. Good grief.

As Gates Brown (pinch-hitter for the Tigers) once said, "I'd rather be lucky than good."

Time heals all wounds.

Jack was one of my favorite players. I would guess that he was a great locker room guy, too. I will definitely miss him. Hope he has success at his next stop. Psalm 32:8.

Probably to keep the defense "honest," but when you run the ball like we do, in that situation you probably continue running it until you're forced to pass. A number of factors that, in hindsight, could have/probably would have turned the game around.

Poor coaching didn't drop the potential interception or rough the opposing QB in the end zone on 3rd and, what, 15 or more, either of which could have/probably would have turned that game around.

LOL!

I like the idea of a QB spy. But, I also think we need to bring 5-6 on every third and long. I know that we haven't gotten to the QB near often enough in these situations, but I also know that we can't let the QB sit there and pick us apart. As someone suggested, maybe we need to do a better job of disguising our blitzes, and I'd like to think that we'll improve and do a better job of getting to the QB. There have been a lot of instances where we've gotten to the QB a half a second too late.
