the anthem so he can settle a civil court case today ... because he lost his starting QB job. However, in between, Kaepernick wins the starting job back and has one of his best seasons ... and sparks a national debate where he is ultimately blackballed by the NFL regardless of his performance on the field.

That's quite a conspiracy.

it would be amazing to get someone of his, Walkers and Johnny's talents on one team!

His additional size seems to be at the expense of his foot speed. Played much quicker last season.
#3 on offense seems lost. Not moving without the ball as well as he did last season. He and #22 seem misplaced playing on crease.
Hardest part of playing "O" the crease is not realizing that you ALWAYS have more time than you think to shoot. Both are rushing shots which accounts for their lack of shooting success.
#22 was MUCH better playing left wing in last 8 minutes of 4th Quarter. He showed great patience working with #5 and #6 up top and #2 on right wing. 2 great goals resulted and put game away.
I would like to see #42 be more aggressive attacking from X. Need to at least show the dive.

Once you say it a few times, it rolls off the tongue.

Kaepernick masterminded a major payout 3 years ago to win in civil court today ... while jeopardizing his $20mn per salary ... is absolutely asinine. That's Joker like conspiracy theories.

And then to imply Kaepernick did it because he lost his starting job while he kept kneeling when he won the job back (and having a good season) ... is being disingenuous.

I don't even like Kaepernick (though I like his message) and support the employer's rights ... but some of the bullshit coming out is absolutely ridiculous.

Here's the reason Kaepernick settled: IMO, he wasn't going to win. Collusion is hard to prove EVEN when all circumstantial evidence behind you. And the employers have rights too.

that CS can be a top 5 national player and maybe even top 3. Today's match vs #3 JJ Wolf will give him another chance to prove I am right about how good CS is.I also strongly believe from following college tennis for many years that without a really strong #1 player,who wins at a 75% +rate and who also almost always wins his doubles match, high level team success is unlikely in college tennis. The best example of that was Steve Johnson at USC. Our 4 Natty winning teams had Jarmere Jenkins, Ryan Shane and Alex Ritschard orTSK winning a lot at #1 and also winning alot in doubles. Last Year WF had the two NCAA finalists playing at 1 and 2 and splitting up in doubles and they won the NCAA's and NTI.

While we have not been bad in doubles, we need to get better. One thing I have wondered about is whether freshman William Woodall is ready for the prime time at #1 doubles at his young age, especially since he is not playing singles and has little opportunity to improve his game.In college tennis it is rare that any #1 doubles player does not also play singles. We Had Luca Corintelli doing that but he was an extraordinarily good doubles player. S far WW is not playing like LC did.

After the NTI, maybe Coach Pedroso will reevaluate his doubles teams and lineups. Last year ML and CS had some success at #1 doubles, but so far ML has played very little in singles or doubles. I could see playing CS playing at #1 with BN, HW,or maybe ML, Then we would have some combination of WW, GR, RG, plus whoever does not play #1 doubles with CS filling the #2 and 3 doubles slots.

With only a short 6 game set with no ad scoring in doubles, it must be very difficult to walk on the court 'cold' after a short warmup and play #1 doubles against the opposition's best doubles team, especially for a freshman like WW. My memory is far from perfect, but I do not recall any UVA freshman playing #1 doubles. Domijan may have, but probably not from day 1

Just don’t think they are good enough. They went on a tear thru SeC that frankly stinks. LSU comes to Rupp and gets a win.

Yes UK has an excellent ACC record. But Carolina sucks.

Tenn all are closest to Columbia for the first round. Only 2 can go there. With UK, even if they were to move ahead of us, they are closer to Columbus Ohio than they are to Columbia SC.

For the regional, if we end up in the south with UK as our number 2, we would face them in Louisville which is too close to Lexington. I think I would prefer UT to UK in our region. UK sees to be up and down but when they are up, they can be a top team.

Incoming!

how my mindset has changed.

Before TB: Can we win enough to make the tournament?

After TB: Will the regular season ever end so we can get the tournament going?

That said, I enjoy every game.

Should be the link for tonight.

to replay screen after each basket, each miss and rebound, each steal, each turnover, each foul, and probably the opening tip-off.

I'm the rare sports fan who longs for zero input from replay screens.

If not mistaken, Kaepernick had a decent season when he did.

It's been widely reported his girlfriend pushed him to take this cause. It's not a secret. However, to even imply that this was some master plan to win a ton of money in civil court is asinine.

Again, if you want to claim Kaepernick stepped into something much bigger than he ever thought, that's one thing. To say this was financially motivated is Alex Jones like.

Always wanted him to get that extra year, because while Snowden made splash plays Elliot played also as a freshman and contributed making some nice plays himself. Glad to hear he's a top candidate to take over Chris Peace's spot. I can't imagine a QB/OC having to deal with 2 6'5+ guys coming off the edge or dropping off in coverage and being more than able of covering backs/wideouts/tight end's.

I'm rooting for CP to get a shot at the next level as he produced and played well, but Brown in that spot opposite Snow I think elevates the D already if it happens and he continues to show out throughout the offseason.

The one DL I'm curious about is Samson Reed. He came in as Bronco's highest rated DL recruit last season only to shown up by his classmate and fellow classmates and had to watch as others were given a shot to produce while he sat. So I'll be watching to see what he's done during his 1st year sitting and watching.

And of course I'm waiting to see who emerges in the backfield. In particular Peacock is one I've been waiting on. His HS highlights were fun to watch seeing him bowl over kids. I thought here's that next Keith Payne type, but so far he has rarely sniffed the ball. It's his junior year so I'm hoping under Griz he becomes that butcher's block of rolling knives and he gets any opportunities to tote the rock and adds another dimension to the offense especially in goal line or short yardage opportunities.

Also thinking about Fannin, and how he was the one everyone was talking about leading the OL and being the future last year. If he can come back from a 2nd injury and stay healthy and become that guy again the battle for C will be very interested and only benefit the entire OL.

Lastly Darnell Pratt has always intrigued me. He's tall 6'2, but also fast 4.4-4.5 speed. If he gets stronger/faster maybe he becomes the deep threat that can spread the field more and allows TK more time to develop.

You can rip Kaepernick for settling. However, my premise was that he would ultimately lose the case. The fact the NFL owners caved because their emails and subpoenaes would be divulged ... implies some wrong doing on their part too. I'm sure, Kaepernick, a flawed individual, doesn't want to be subpoenaed either.

His throws were lazers. I thought both runners hsd good jumps last night.

Neither play at second was even close.

had nothing at all to do with this from the moment he lost his starting job...

You’re suggesting he didn’t have his sight on money when he claimed the nfl colluded and kept him from making money, which appears to be the reason the case existed.

I seriously doubt it was Kaep's idea.

Go figure...

He was much talked about, but preseason talk means nothing. He showed us all how the talk was not just talk. He will be better next year. Whether that shows up in stats I no not know. So much depends as it always does on the guys around him.

plays with reckless abandon and he is a bit light.

Hopefully he can heal and add some good weight( muscle) and play at All ACC level this year.

are playing their early season directional school tune-up games, we are in a repeat of the CWS with three other blue blood programs.

It is awesome national exposure.

It is a chance to start the season with top echelon competition.

It is an enjoyable trip for the fellas and one they will not soon forget. I think it gives them motivation too.

Like you said, we WERE playing the #1 team in the land. Except for that 4th inning, we played pretty good against a very good team.

I remember Bronco being introduced at halftime of a basketball game his first year, and the fans
reception plus the enthusiasm during the first half prompted him to say, "this is going to be fun."
I knew then that this guy had emotion and a sense of what UVA is all about. Just saying....

Maybe they should put him on the Westminster Dog Show instead...
