Good, let's hear it.

Because I'm not supposed to post it? Your gonna look like an idiot in about 5 hours.

You're going to look like an ***hole in about 5 hours.

I'm not saying you're full of ****, I'd just like to hear who you have as a source. We see a lot of trolls on this board, and a decision must be made as to whether you are one of those trolls or not.

This is what I hate about people that post inside information. I love to get it and I appreciate it. But posting that someone is going to look stupid b/c you are right about bad news is just being ******.

PEOPLE WANT TO BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THESE RUMORS ARE FALSE. We are fans who want to hold onto a shred of hope that Jake Knott is healthy and will play the next 5 or 6 games for us.

And wouldn't you like to be wrong about the information anyway?

[TrueCyclone20]

Id love to be wrong about it, but I don't think I am. God Id pay good money to be wrong.

Is Jake Knott coming out for the game going to correspond with an announcement that it's his last game as a Cyclone or something? Otherwise your post doesn't make much sense.

I think it might be announced. Otherwise I'm sure something will be said pregame by Walters or someone.

Will our punt coverage team try to block today or will 4 of them run up and do a salsa with the punt protection backfield? It is the wierdest thing.....it is like several of the down punt coverage team rushes the punter and then all 4 or 5 of them just give up. You would think at least 1 of them would go ahead and make an aggressive commited rush....hell, that alone without the block would still occupy the blockers more precious fractions of second than the silly groove dance they do now when they just rush and then give up. Watch it today and you will see what I mean.

+10000000 I have commented on this in the past. WTF are we doing on punt returns?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but when we are set up for a return, most of the guys are getting back into position to block for the return. However, a few guys must "rush" the kicker to prevent them from just taking off and running, and also to be on the lookout for a potential fake. If they were to go balls out on the rush, that would leave about 40 yards of open real estate for the punter.
