9/10/2007 Miami vs. Oklahoma Football Report Card
Kirby Freeman had major trouble connecting with receivers-even when he wasn't pressured in the pocket. He only completed a third of his passes (9-3-0) and managed a mere 17 yards. Ouch. Kyle Wright, surprisingly, seemed to be able to make better decisions and was much more effective with the passing game.

9/2/2007 Report card for Marshall-Miami game
Kirby Freeman went nine for 21 and was rather average in his decisions and ability to make big plays. His longest completion was 19 yards, which is decent but will need to be improved throughout the season. Spencer Adkins' interception in the third quarter was quickly undone by Freeman who returned the ball to Marshall on the next play.

10/27/2006 The End of October
Before we get this started, I have to give a shout to Ferry Corsten, who brought the heavy heat to Orlando last night. I can’t say it was as good as the show at Eleven50 last June, but Ferry was still really really good. That guy comes with it every time he spins. The sound of trance even brought out Orlando Magic forward-center Darko Milicic last night.

What would you have liked to see done differently in last week's game? I would like to have seen them be more efficient. There were times where we didn't block people and weren't efficient.
