Again, I think Mike Hill should answer for this. Are we to assume these are all isolated injuries and itās just unbelievably bad luck? Especially when the coach says he gives himself an F for keeping guys healthy. What does that even mean?

Letās see - we have 71 new players, were 3-9 last year and are on a 5 game home field losing streak, may be without a number of starters in game #1, new #1 QB (assuming heās not among the injured), etc. How exactly would we be throwing JMU off? Just asking.

My excitement this week came crashing down todayā¦ā¦what the hell. How could we not know about this? Are there no reporters at practice? At least let us know who is hurt and who will be stepping up to help us win. I am more than pissed!

I am totally pissed at how this has unfolded. Weāre all feeling all is going well heading into the season opening game in four days and weāre blindsided by this revelation that the team will be without 9 starters? How the hell did that happen? Why wasnāt it disclosed before now? This just makes me sick.

Good thing this report came out like 5 mins after I took the money line on us.
Our problems in revenue sports are starting to become statistical anomalies. Like itās nearly statistically impossible weāve been as bad as we are at basketball and football for this long. Makes you wonder. 
clt asks if they are hurt or injured?

I understand guys can get injured in practice but in all my years of following football Iāve never heard of a team being this beat up before playing a single game. Usually injuries start piling up during the season when guys are truly getting hit during competition.

If players are injured in the sense of they wonāt be playing at all week 1, would they not be listed on the week 1 depth chart? If so, what āstarterā is not listed on that chart that was put out?
I mean every football team in the country is banged up.
OK, probably a dumb question. What does the OR next to a playerās name denote on the depth chart? Counted 10 such instances. Did a search of acronyms but nothing popped up football or sports related.
Thanks!
Every team does āorā. It actually is a bit of gamesmanship to throw the otger team off.

after my week at work, yeah I know itās been only two days but thatās how it goes when your company decides to outsource/rebadgeā¦ I did not need this from Biff. I was looking forward to the game as a good escape on Saturday.
WTF

If this doomsday scenario turns out to be true, I will put it in that well-worn, rusty file cabinet of crap labeled: PULLING A NINER.
Not sure anybody has ever accused biff of thinking through his words before he says them.

Will Biff go down as another poor hire by Hill?

Donāt understand why he said this at all. Just feels like more scrutiny placed on himself and the team. Why canāt we just be normal for once?!?!

There is a strong possibility this is BS, and a ruse designed for JMU. The comments were 100% designed to get people talking, and they have succeeded.
I donāt think Biff considered things like ticket sales. So, Iād be willing to bet he gets a slap on the wrist today. Not sure he cares about a slap on the wrist, and I donāt either if we beat JMU.
If this is true thoughā¦ man mike hill has some 'splainin to do.
