I will be there, season ticket holder, but the whole portal rebuild every year in non power 5 conferences is killing my interest.
I could’t tell you names of more than 5-7 player’s names.
Just about over it all after hearing this news.

Biff saying we will have to rein in our schemes because of our injuries. In other words back to a HS offense for first 3 games.

If we have 50% starters out for our opener after not hearing about any injuries for all of camp then I don’t know. That is almost a fireable offense or a Mickey Mouse level operation.

I mean, fwiw, we did well not losing a lot of our top guys to portal, minus at LB but as far as guys transferring, to an extent its no different bc some guys just leave bc of PT

Skip Biff and go to Mike Hill if we want answers. Mike Hill is more accountable to the program than Biff. If Biff becomes a dumpster fire it was Hill’s decision to hire the man and I’m not listening to the HC anymore. Not having half the starters is not just coincidence. Something seems amiss here.

:wink:

Me personally, I’m not buying it, unless they all got hurt today or yesterday. We would have heard something by someone. We have students on this board, someone would have said “hey this football player in my class is wearing a boot”. Hunter has been out there, no mention by any of the reporters that watched the 2nd scrimmage, ie guys in slings, walking in boots etc… are guys banged up? sure no doubt. Biff Never said the word “out”, the media is running with that. Tom Brady was on the IR report every week for 15 years at NE but played every game. Hey, but i love a good conspiracy theory

Good call, he never said “out” he said “injured” Whatever that means… so we got a bunch of guys that are “questionable” that hopefully all play on Saturday.

Not necessarily. I imagine the staff would want the media to keep injuries quiet

I don’t know what to believe but my first thought is that the conditioning program that is constantly shown on X must not be very good with this many injuries prior to playing a game. Anyway, my hopes for the season were just crushed. :broken_heart:

We have 71 new players in the roster. 71!

If we didnt tackle at all in camp, plan on seeing a number of missed tackles the first couple weeks.

But i dont think it is a ruse as he doesnt have the credibility yet to play it like this with fans, opposing coaches, game not sold out, media etc…

A lot are pwo’s. We went 3-9 last year. Some guys had to go.

If it’s a ruse, then why do it? How are you going to get your fan base excited about the game, and sell tickets if your going to lie about something like this? Someone make it make sense! I will be very disappointed if he is lying about all of this just to throw JMU off. If he is lying then he needs to go! This is not how a head coach acts. And if he does have 9 starters injured then some type of investigation needs to happen. I can understand 1-3 players but 9? Somebody has some explaining to do!
