I am personally disappointed in the quality of the dialog on the main board right now. One very solid poster said to me that he doesn't even try to go on the main board anymore. As a moderator, I do for that purpose, but I am choosing to let all the negative posters (some rational, but most aren't) feed off of each other. I am not going to waste my time arguing with them. To me Herdfans.com is a place where people get together to share their experiences, speculate on the Herd, and look towards the future. I'm finding it more satisfying to talk to the board members in person on Saturdays. This past weekend will be my last for a while. I tried to make the most of it by visiting Spring Hill memorial on my way to play golf, and to talk to as many of my friends as I could find. I really enjoyed talking my buddy Jerry and then to 2XBison and Big Green Arms at the Herdfans tailgate. I am also appreciative of the gift of the "Won for All" book that a board member gave me; it really got me thinking about Doc's legacy versus coaches from our past, especially Bobby (See No. 8 infra). It was a weird weekend for me since I know it may be my last one this year (see No. 10 infra). On my way home, I realized I did not eat at a single Huntington restaurant (really missed Oscar's) except for the Tudor's drive through. Anyway, here are the Ten Things I Think I Know After NC State:
While Saturday wasn't the dominant display that I hoped the Herd would have, it was a W. It was also my first trip home for football and my first game in my new tailgate spot. As I drove back on Sunday, I kept thinking about how the stats didn't match up with my recollection of the game. In reality, the D held EKU, but it didn't seem like that in real time. Now I am sitting in a hotel room outside of Chicago thinking about Huntington and the following Ten Things I Think I Know After EKU:
Since the game, the board has been full of a lot of good discussion on the Xs and Os and analysis of individual players. In this blog, I am going to try to focus on some of the bigger picture issues that I saw on Saturday. If you looked at an actual big picture of Saturday's game you saw a ton of Green. There was so much green in fact that Shannon Clark (@Herdgirl_77) coined the phrase "HERDcoming" in response to one of my rants about their Homecoming. While Brady was clearly the best player on the field on Saturday, my MVP award goes to Shannon this week. With her inspiration, here are the Ten Things I Think I Know After HERDcoming 2018:
