we all know it's more because the fans get excited about their touching a rock that makes it a great entrance. MY high school could play enter sandman before football games, but it wouldn't make it a great entrance. That said, I have no idea why touching a rock is exciting, but I've never had to live in SC either...

I'm getting kind of sick of the Motu trash talk, mainly because

1) The kid wasn't that bad last year. Yeah he wasn't great either, he runs into blockers, misses a few tackles, and overpursues. But he also led the team in tackles multiple times.

2) He was a first-year starter last season. I don't know if anyone else remembers the first years of guys like Kyle Fuller, James Gayle and Roc Carmichael, but they were maddening. It's easy for us to think about the great seasons of Kyle, but his freshman year was not pretty (see: Wake Forest, 2009). The improvement that typically happens in year two of starting can be dramatic. Let's all calm down and not lose our shit over Motu.

With that being said, losing Lydon is a big hit, mainly because Motu has been injured in the past, and Huelskamp is the only guy behind him currently, unless somebody like Raymon Minor or Jamieon Moss moves over. Other than that, I personally didn't see Lydon starting over Motu. So things could be a lot worse.

I know the show diverges from the books, but in the books it is made very clear several times that there is old magic woven into the Wall. In the show, the Night King simply lays waste to physical structures (cracks the 3ER's cave in half), so what good is a simple physical barrier? He would have taken it down forever ago.

I didn't think there was any magical enchantment on the wall. That it was simply a wall of ice to keep the Wildlings and White Walkers at bay. That would render the Ice Kings mark on Bran useless when it comes to the wall.

He's not slow when he knows what to do, he's hesitant and occasionally out of position because it's a tough position mentally and the light hasn't turned on for him yet. He's explosive when sniffs out a play or is sent on a blitz. We've rarely had to have Mike's get so much playing time so early. Let's see how he does with a full year of starting experience (and a more experienced back end) before we throw him under the bus.
