WSU Versus Charleston Southern-- Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[Good News]

For those with UVerse, you might want to do a search and check the standard definition channels. I never go through that part of the guide and was surprised to find tonight's game broadcast on Channel 617 ECE. It looks like it's the same as the ESPN3 feed that you would get over Apple TV or other internet, but it's obviously more reliable coming over fiber optic cable instead of WiFi, and you can record/pause/rewind much easier. Several other channels around there seem to being carrying other ESPN3 feeds as well - for example, the Maryland Eastern Shore road opener is on as well.

My prediction, nerves, new faces, FVV not playing at 100 percent (if at all), CSU will keep it close at halftime. By the ten minute mark of the second half, CSU is drained and simply can't keep up with our skill and depth. We end up winning by 22 and we'll come away thankful guys got minutes and FVV's injury did not become worse, but our concerns of not having him in in the future will grow.

I say rest him until he gets healthy. Even a rusty FVV facing top tier talent is a far better option than throwing in true freshman at the point. As long as he's healthy, I can deal with the time it takes for him to knock the rust off. What I would hate to deal with is him playing on an injured leg and constantly worrying that he'll make it worse. The dude is competitive and I know he wants to be out there, but GM needs to let calmer heads prevail and save FVV from himself if he's trying to fight through the injury. Besides, impressing scouts is not as important early in the season as it towards the end, especially Tourney time. For his own personal goals as well as the team's, get him healthy - it's a marathon not a sprint. I have no doubt GM, FVV and the docs will make the right choice.

Nailed it! As usual ;)

Not bad, but you blew it when you said ". . . for him to knock the rust off". Vibranium steel alloy does not rust.
