With the Halloween spirit in the air, I was hoping that Ferrum would have lots to be happy about with a win over Christopher Newport. While the Panthers played hard, it just was not enough to take down the Captains. Final CNU 28 Ferrum 14.
When I go back to look at key moments, I can pick the 91 yard run for a TD by the Captain QB, or the fumbled punt by the Panther return man, but these plays were not the difference makers...they were contributors, but it seemed to me the difference was the ability of the Captains to control the ball and the line of scrimmage, both offensively and defensively...especially in the second half. It became a test of stopping All American running back Tunde Ogun in the second half. It was a difficult, time consuming task. It took time that the Panthers did not have, and in the end the punishing ball control running game proved to be the undoing of Ferrum. Credit also the CNU defense for keeping the Panthers out of the End Zone in the second half.
There were bright spots for the Panthers, and I don't want this to go unnoticed.
Matt Dobson threw for 137 yards. (8-15-0)Because of the typical running attack of Ferrum, these are good numbers. This week while Ferrum did put up good rushing numbers, they were below what we have come to expect. Defensively, Ferrum kept the Captains under 100 yards passing, and got one interception. These are all positives, but credit has to go to the Captains as their defensive schemes and power running gave them the advantage they needed.
Keys to a Ferrum Win-
Contain their Running game. Ogun is capable of putting up big numbers, He may be hard to stop, but you must limit his effectiveness. Great job in the first half- His ability took him a long way in the second half.
This team will blitz in passing situations....Play action passes, and screens will help with this...Use quick slant patterns also. This did not prove to be an issue, and if they did blitz, it was handled effectively- No sacks. Great Movement on Dobson's part to elude the rush.
Continue the punishing running attack, but be aware their pass defense is vulnerable
A good day passing, but the overall running game was limited as compared to the entire season by a solid defense.
No turnovers/Few penalties. Mistakes will make a hard job harder.
1 turnover- led to a CNU Touchdown. Penalties were far lees this week.
Secondary be ready- They will throw a lot also. Watch for Ogun to come out of backfield on pass routes. This was not an issue.
So in looking back, Ferrum came up short. And it could have been different with a play here, a mistake by CNU there. It was not to be, and Ferrum has to get ready for Senior Day, and the Averett Cougars. Another tough foe...The Panthers need to keep working and get this win next week. The thoughts of a USA South title are now impossible, but you cannot quit. You can't change today, but you can learn, and focus on tomorrow.

Toronto Raptors 2009-10 Season Preview
After another abysmal season and rampant rumors that star forward Chris Bosh could bolt after this season in Toronto, it was clear that Bryan Colangelo needed to do something big in the offseason that stir some excitement and positive feelings about basketball in Toronto heading into the 2009 season.
Enter Hedo Turkoglu, who the Raptors brought in from the Orlando Magic to help rejuvenate the franchise. After nearly signing with the Portland Trailblazers, Turkoglu changed his mind and decided to make Toronto his home at the last minute. He helped the Orlando Magic make it all the way to the NBA Finals last season, and has plenty of big game experience that he can pass on to his new teammates. He is an excellent scorer and creator.
He has a good enough handle at 6'8'' to get to the lane and score, find open teammates, and make the right decisions. He is also a solid outside shooter, and hit plenty of huge shots late in ballgames over the past couple of seasons, both during the regular season and during the playoffs. While a lot of NBA experts feel that he might be a little bit overpaid compared to what other guys in the market were getting, he should make a big difference in the Raptors fortunes.
Of course, however, Chris Bosh is still the man, and he is one of the best players in the NBA. He is excellent both on the block and at the elbow, and can hurt you in a variety of ways. He has gotten better every year since being in that vaunted 2003 draft class. He is also in the last year of his deal, and there is a lot of speculation that he could leave the Great North for a place like New York or Miami, bigger markets where he would be seen more.
Rounding out the big 3 is Jose Calderon, one of the most underrated point guards in the NBA. Since taking over the offense full-time after the departure of TJ Ford, he has been very steady. He's a great shooter from the outside, and one of the best assist men in the NBA. He won't ever be a star in the NBA, but he is a very good player, a PG that you can definitely win with. He should be able to find the scorers often, potentially making Toronto a potent offense.
While Toronto does not have enough to challenge the elite of the NBA's Eastern Conference, they should have enough talent with the acquisition of Hedo Turkoglu to be strong contenders to make it back to postseason play.

Denver Nuggets 2009-10 Season Preview
The Denver Nuggets were one of the biggest surprise teams in the NBA last season, finishing with over 50 wins and securing a trip to the Western Conference Finals before they finally bowed out to the eventual champions, the Los Angeles Lakers. This was not at all what most pundits expected, especially when they made such drastic changes in the middle of the season, trading away Allen Iverson and getting back Chauncey Billups.
Billups turned out to be a perfect fit to add stablity and create a sense of unselfishness on a talented roster. With guys like Carmelo Anthony, JR Smith, and Nene Hilario, a lot of talent was there, but there was no way to put it together with Allen Iverson running the point. That all changed with Billups. He added a new mindset to the team, and his experience winning a title in Detroit resonated with the rest of the Nuggets. The team took off after his arrival, and there was even some talk that Billups should get some MVP votes for the way that he helped turned the team around.
The most talented player on the team is Carmelo Anthony, who is easily one of the most talented scorers in the NBA. He can shoot the 3-ball, score on the block, or take the ball to the rim. He is an excellent midrange shooter, which makes him especially dangerous in crunch time. Over his career there have been some concerns about his maturity and leadership, but he took big strides in those areas last season, thanks to Billups and to his time on Team USA. He was also much more consistent defensively last season, an area of his game that he had not shown before.
JR Smith is expected to take a big leap this season, as they hope he will be able to consistently play a lot of minutes. He has the talent and shooting ability to be an excellent scorer, and they hope he can provide that every night, not just in spurts, as he has done for most of his career. Nene Hilario had a great season last year, and they hope he can keep his efficiency and rebounding ability. Kenyon Martin also rebounded to have a solid year, and he is a guy that sets the tone for them defensively with his intensity and athleticism.
The Nuggets should again be in the mix for a division title. It is hard to see them getting back to the Conference Finals with both Los Angeles and San Antonio in the Western Conference, but with a couple of breaks, they could be there. They should be a very entertaining team to watch as always under head coach George Karl.

Philadelphia 76ers 2009-10 Season Preview
After the Philadelphia 76ers signed Elton Brand in the 2008 offseason, everyone expected them to become one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, possibly challenging for a top 3 seed. That never materialized, as Brand's slower style did not mesh with the Sixers breakneck pace. The team struggled mightily out of the gate, only getting back on track once head coach Maurice Cheeks was fired and Elton Brand got injured, allowing them to fully go back to their fast style which made them so successful the previous year.
Due to financial constraints (in part because of Brand), there weren't very many additions in Philadelphia. The biggest story of their offseason was the departure of Andre Miller, the point guard and catalyst of the offense, who signed with the Portland Trailblazers. That gives the PG role to Lou Williams. He is an explosive player with the ball in his hands, but it is hard to know how he will perform as the playmaker of the offense. He great in transition or getting the ball to the basket (and getting to the free throw line), but it will be interesting to see how well he can facilitate.
Their best player is Andre Iguodala, who is solid offensively and defensively on the wing. He has come into his own over the past few seasons, and has a chance to make his first all-star game this season. He is not a great offensive player, but his athleticism allows him to fly around the court. He is an excellent finisher at the rim, and he is getting better and better shooting the basketball. Defensively, he uses his quickness to be a pest, making him one of the best wing defenders in the game.
The future of the team looks to be Thaddeus Young, a star in the making. Entering his third season, he is still only 21 years old, and made huge strides from year one to two. He averaged over 15 points per game at age 20, and looks poised to make another leap in year three. If he can continue to progress, then he can be the key cornerstone for the 76ers as they try to get back to their success from the 1970s and 1980s.
Down low, they will look to Mareese Speights and Elton Brand. Speights has a very high ceiling, as he was wildly efficient last season scoring and rebounding the ball. Elton Brand is a little harder to figure out. We know that when things are right, he can be one of the most productive players in the NBA. However, they have to fit him in their system, which was a huge problem last year. If they can, Philly will be right back in the hunt for a playoff spot.

New York Knicks 2009-10 Preview
It seemed like the Knicks went into the offseason with one goal - create as much cap space as possible for the 2010 offseason. With guys like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh expected to be available, the Knicks are putting all of their cards on the table that they will be able to sign one of those guys, preferably LeBron James. In the long-term, this is probably the right strategy, as there is no other real obvious fix to their problems.
However, that leaves their roster a bit thin once again as we head into the 2009-10 season. They have some nice pieces, but they don't appear to be ready to challenge for a playoff spot. There is one certainty, and that is that they will play fast under coach Mike D'Antoni. In his second season with New York, he loves an up-tempo basketball game with a lot of three pointers, which should make the Knicks one of the most exciting teams in the league to watch. This might not translate into a ton of wins, but it's an improvement over the Isiah Thomas Era, which produced bad, boring basketball.
They have no clear star, but a few solid role players. Perhaps the best is David Lee, one of the best rebounders in the NBA. His offense is perfectly suited for D'Antoni's style, as he likes to get up and down the court. He does not have a lot of offensive skills, but he can get the job done in this offense. Nate Robinson is an exciting guy to watch. He can put points on the board in a hurry and pressures the ball well defensively. He didn't get a lot of attention in the FA market, however, which leads me to think he might always just be a good player on a bad team.
Wilson Chandler grew into his own last year, and has potential as a solid wing man. Guys like Chris Duhon, Al Harrington, and Larry Hughes are all solid players. They can be very solid bench guys on good teams. However, as they will be relied on a lot this year, they might be in a little over their heads.
If the Knicks have a star on the roster, it will likely be Danilo Gallinari. He showed flashes of being a very good player last season as a rookie, and they will need him to take more steps in his second year. He has a varied offensive game that they hope he can continue to develop, and he should flourish under D'Antoni. If he can grow and become a leader for the team, they might have an outside shot at reaching the postseason. If not, it will be another year simply spent waiting for the 2010 offseason for the New York Knicks franchise.

A few fantasy basketball sleepers
As with any fantasy league, the key to winning fantasy basketball is identifying sleepers who you believe will produce much more than their draft slot says that they should produce. Everyone knows about the stars that will come off the board near the top of the draft, but it is the sleepers that are taken later that will either win or lose the league for you. Here are a few of the guys that I am keeping an eye on in fantasy basketball drafts this season:
- Thaddeus Young - the third year man for the Philadelphia 76ers looks poised to take another big leap this season. Even though he will be entering his third season, he is only 21 years old. He made marked improvements in every area of the game, posting better scoring, rebounding, and shooting numbers. He looks like he has the talent to make a similar leap in year three, and could become a very valuable top 10 guy at his position, with expected boosts in scoring, rebounding, and 3-point shooting. Look for him as a solid performer in the middle rounds.
- JR Smith - He has a ton of talent at the 2 guard spot, and should continue to get the chance to showcase it after the departures of Dahntay Jones and Linas Kleiza. He is a great shooter that has the green light to fire whenever he has an opening, which makes him one of the most prolific three point shooters in the NBA. Starting in an explosive offense also featuring Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony, he should get plenty of good looks in the Nuggets offense.
- Manu Ginobili - Everyone knows he is a great player, but he is sneakily one of the best in the NBA when he is healthy. He is an extremely efficient player. He can get to the basket and create easy baskets for himself, he is one of the best shooters in the NBA when left open (when should happen frequently in an offense with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Richard Jefferson), and he is a great free throw shooter. After struggling with injuries for the past couple of seasons, he rested up this offseason, and appears the be healthy for the first time in years. The hunger will be there, as the Spurs look poised to challenge the Lakers for Western Conference supremacy, so you know that he will bring it every night.
These are just a few college basketball sleepers that I see. By identifying them and a few more guys that you like on draft night, you could put yourself in position to have a great fantasy basketball season. Who are your fantasy sleepers?

Halloween Havoc in the Foothills
Saturday is Halloween, and also marks week nine of the Division III football season. To this point, Ferrum is having a good season, and is technically still in contention for a conference championship. This weekend, the Captains of Christopher Newport University travel to Ferrum for a Halloween showdown. Saturday's game will mark the ninth meeting between the two schools (CNU leads the series 7-1) Ferrum's lone victory came in 2003 when the Panthers won at home 19-17. Coming into the season, Ferrum was picked to finish third behind Christopher Newport, and North Carolina Wesleyan. With two conference losses, the Panthers are currently 4th in the conference with NCW first, Averett second, and CNU third.
The Captains are struggling compared to years past. While they have shown the level of play that has been expected, they have also been disappointing in some of their victories. Ferrum is really improving, and while certain factors have left the Panthers thin in some areas, Ferrum is coming off a big win over Shenandoah. This week's game is vastly important, and is definitely winnable.
The Captains have an All American running back in Tunde Ogun. Ogun who is averaging 93.7 yards per game, is well off of his pace from last year. Ogun suffered a mild knee injury earlier in the season, and has been limited by this. Looking at the numbers, Ferrum and CNU are fairly similiar, but study them close, and you will see Ferrum has MANY reasons to be optimistic.
Here are some statistical comparisons year to date:
To Enlarge-Click on Stats table Below
Keys to a Panther Win:
Contain their Running game. Ogun is capable of putting up big numbers, He may be hard to stop, but you must limit his effectiveness.
This team will blitz in passing situations....Play action passes, and screens will help with this...Use quick slant patterns also.
Review the CNU/NCW game- See where the Bishops exploited them.
Continue the punishing running attack, but be aware their pass defense is vunerable
No turnovers/Few penalties. Mistakes will make a hard job harder
Secondary be ready- They will throw a lot also. Watch for Ogun to come out of backfield on pass routes.
KNOW You can win this game- They are not a machine.
My Prediction
Ferrum 24
CNU 17
Go Panthers!

Ferrum @ Shenandoah- A New Perspective
With the game over and a victory in the books, I wanted to highlight how I experienced the game this past Saturday night. I, living in Williamsburg, am not able to attend all of the games. I try to get to one or two a year, but even that is sometimes difficult. I usually follow the game on the Internet broadcast. This week was no different, except for the fact that Shenandoah provided a live video link to the game. From beginning to end, live video of the game was broadcast over the Internet. Besides the novelty of getting to see the game in addition to the obviously listening, I was truly impressed with the quality of the broadcast. Last year, Ferrum traveled to Greensboro and the Pride website also provided a video feed. Their broadcast, while new and different to me, was very one dimensional, and really too far away from the field to be able to appreciate exactly what was going on. Signal problems were also frequent, but as this was the first time I had experienced it, so I was very impressed with the efforts.
Saturday night, Shenandoah University's broadcast (SUTV) was professional quality, and had multiple cameras that gave great coverage of the action,. In addition, they had instant replay, two announcers and a person covering the sidelines for injury updates and interviews.
I was very impressed with the entire production, and did some research to see how this came about. This is part of their Mass Communications major at SU. They have a huge list of courses required to get a degree, and their SUTV broadcasts are part of their overall community based television station.
In short, I could not have been more impressed with this as a University based effort. It was done very well, and was enjoyable to watch....especially since Ferrum won! I have no figures, but I bet this is a popular major, and is huge in the recruitment of new students. In my opinion, this is an area that Ferrum could research as a similar course offering, and would probably find a helpful partner in Shenandoah University in this research, and possibly getting this off of the ground.
