[djh]

At least two Bulls players should be ejected for hitting Johnson and Elder's head.

In the off season I had Kirby pegged as the next superstar LB on this team. I love his game. I was disappointed he wasn't able to crack the starting rotation which turns out to be a common mistake by our fans. We've got legit depth allowing our younger guys to do their thing. Seeing backup LB like Kirby and Figs(sorta backup I know) reminds me of the good old days when our backups would be out there ****ing people up.

That was first time I've seen Kirby play fast at UM. I think the light is finally on for him. He was all over the place and showed the explosiveness that he's always had but never showed. That could be a turning point game for him.

It's nice to see Miami able to bring players along slowly instead of throwing them into the fire. We're going see a **** load of Kirby against GT and some crushing blows I think.

We're not where The Don ultimately wants to be with regard to layers of depth and experience and bringing guys along slowly, but we're a helluva lot closer than we were last year or the year before. This **** takes time, but it's nice to see a guy with a real plan in place.

Funny Morris mentioning the dirty play. I was commenting to my wife during the game how after the tackles I'd swear the USF defender still be twisting the leg/ankle of our guy as he was getting up and breaking contact. --- on more than a few plays.

And I started paying attention to what they were doing after it seemed they were indeed targeting heads, especially Duke's, and felt it was a little dirty. That said, the targeting towards the upper body/head seemed to be so consistent I wonder if their coaches are just flat out teaching them to hit that way rather than intentionally trying to be dirty.

The Elder hit should've been an ejection / I hope for nothing but the worst for that program

Offense was clicking yesterday. Only blemish was the sloppy TO's by Duke near the end zone.

we shoulda run it up on them.

I admit i was wrong about Dorito. the D is light years better than last year and that is with a bunch of 2 star projects in the two deep (a la Gaines, Shayon, Armbrister, etc.)

when we have a full depth chart of AG/Dorito guys, the D will be very very good. it looks like we are finally on track to be really "back"

Really encouraging to see all the young guys stepping up these last two weeks....

Now it's time for the team to get it done in conference.....

It is indeed fun to be a fan of the U this season (to be frank, it's sucked the past half decade) - great work!

Do I at least get credit for calling Aaron Lynch, A-aron?

**** good stuff. If the Herald hired Dan, it might finally be worth reading that paper.
