DT James Smith (Official Thread)

Being quiet doesn't mean they aren't crazy. Plenty of silent assassins on the DL. It's the quiet ones you gotta watch out for. Joey Bosa sounds like a permastoned surfer and he's a monster
That's fair. There's exceptions. But if I am drawing up a defensive lineman I want him to be someone like Warren Sapp. This guy is a problem to deal with for their team and for our team. Offensive linemen, I want them to be guys who could also teach kindergarten

I'm a villain /anti-hero kind of guy. Mostly because those characters are usually the most well-written and fun. Vader, Anton Chigurh, Hannibal Lector, Hans Landa, Ozymandius, Spawn, Deadpool...

Doom might be tops for me when it comes to this sort of medium (marvel) and maybe Onslaught as #2. Character with complexity that wasn't inherently evil, like some of the characters aforementioned characters above.

Genuinely curious and excited as to how the portrayal goes.

Obviously I’ll see this one in theater. Big Captain fan so it’ll be interesting to see how they navigate a villain apparently capable of pushing Thor aside like he’s nothing. Doesn’t bode well for Captain America but then again I bet that means it’ll be Captain who saves the day.

Neal Shipley (PGA Golf Pro)

Moldovan’s on the Korn Ferry Tour. He’s doing OK but not exceptionally. Barring a large leap, he’ll be back there next year.
Update: Max has been bad the last several weeks and missed several cuts in a row, but, after narrowly making the cut at this week’s tournament in Boise, he shot -6 (65) today and moved up the leaderboard quite a bit. He’ll drop back a fair amount as the guys teeing off later score well, but it’s good to see him have a strong round and I hope he can back it up with another one tomorrow and get some momentum going.

2026 Fall Camp and Other Tidbits

Just watched the IU camp preview on BTN. We're going to beat that ass by 3 TDs this year and put them back in their place. That ridiculous aberration of a season is over and done with and it's time we get back on top where we belong.

Only area of concern for me is the kicking game yet again. Get that shit fixed and lets roll.

OT Austin Siereveld, Captain (All B1G, National Champion)

I think he is more naturally suited for OG, but you put your best guy there regardless when the necessity arises and we've seen this in the past (see Donovan Jackson). So I'm sure Austin will get some reps there and may end up being the guy there. Even if it's not his natural position at the next level, it helps the team and typically helps his draft stock showing the versatility to swing out to tackle.
100% I think we were a better team last year when it was Monty-Hinzman-Austin from Guard to Guard but the dropoff at Tackle was too much to ignore. I still think we play better and possibly win, games against IU and Miami with that lineup and TE's chipping and helping on the ends which would have given Sayin another second in the pocket and long enough to light up those secondaries. Hindsight is 20/20 and I'm praying that this years staff is smart enough to be willing to make more adjustments when shit isnt working.

Ian Moore is going to be really good so I'd rather see this lineup even though Padilla is looking good at G also.

I’m sure I’ll see it in the theater, but I’m feeling meh about it. I’m ready to move past this stage of the MCU and get to the X-Men.

Academic Progress Rate (APR)

Login to view embedded media
Just sayin':

1. I remember (many years ago) you would hear stories of players being academically ineligible and/or having to get a certain GPA on courses in the Summer to become eligible to play in the fall, etc. Hell, 28 years ago Andy Katzenmoyer's academic situation made the national news; and they made a joke about the 3 classes he needed to get at least a GPA of 2.0 in.

2. I can't recall any academic issues at all in recent years and I don't recall hearing of any player just dropping off the team for "unknown" reasons either. KUDOs to the athletic department for running what is apparently a "tight ship" on the academic side. They have to be;
a. Screening recruits better and passing on the ones that they deem (let's say) a "very high academic risk".
b. Better enforcement of academic policy to make sure the players attend class and keep up with assignments.
c. Being proactive in addressing academic issues early, etc. before they become an actual eligibility issue.

It's probably all of the above and much more.
