Brown, I actually thought Canelo was pretty good tonight. But I thought he'd be a little more aggressive. Was Floyd flustering him that well when he did go on the offensive or do you agree with me?
 
I agree. I'm still full Butch and actually think he will coach better next weak if that makes sense. MUCH BETTER MATCHUP NEXT WEEK.

No, I get it . I think he goes after it more next week.
 
To piggyback what I just stated, I think this schedule pointed to doing the best we could with Worley at least until the schedule softens up some.

Butch has shown at Cincinnati that he will change quarterbacks when he sees fit. In fact, I believe they were 6-0 when he decided to make a qb change last year.

I really think he may be throwing Worley to the wolves until later in the year or until Worley forces his hand.

UF is vulnerable. If Jones sticks with Worley when he thinks that someone else is the truth then Butch Jones is a damn idiot.
 
Good fight, two excellent CFB games going at 2:00 am. Long live sports on the weekend.

Not Brown but Floyd is other worldly as a defensive fighter, possibly the best ever. But Canelo had two advantages tonight and they were size and power. Easy to say, not eating leather but, to me, FM couldn't hurt SA but he could easily outbox him. His only shot was to press him, lean on him, push him and pound him to the body.
 
Uh, if Chipper's a 1st ballot HOF then Helton probably deserves to get in eventually. The difference in their stats isn't THAT big.

1) Chipper is a top five player at his position. Helton is not. That matters.

2) Helton's home/road splits ARE IMPOSSIBLE to ignore. He goes from being an elite HOF to a solid hitter. And when they started dehumidifying the baseballs, Helton's power numbers dropped significantly going into his prime age for power.
 
Helton home: .345/.442/.602 315 2B 225 HR

Helton away: .287/.386/.470 270 2B 142 HR
 
I still don't see why you even risk something like that if you are Wisconsin. You should be able to make a 30 something yard field goal whether it is in the middle or on the right hash

And it was a half assed kneel, or whatever the hell that was. But that ASU player laying on the ground was definitely a delay of game.

Which is why Chipper is a first ballot HOFer and Helton is someone who should get in way later, far down the road.

So? He's the greatest player ever for a franchise that's been around for 30 years. That should count a little bit too. He's way way way better than Luis Aparicio and Pee Wee Reese and Bill Mazeroski.
