Among Anderson's decisions of the field before Saturday's 7 p.m. game at Nebraska is whether senior defensive tackle Dee Liner will play. The 6-3, 325-pound former Alabama transfer injured his groin during a noncontact drill Aug. 12.

"It's going to be a game-time decision," said Anderson, indicating he's 90 percent to 95 percent sure Liner will play a good bit. "He's gotten better every day. Physically, he did a lot more today than he did yesterday, and he hasn't had any setbacks. Every day we pushed him a little bit further, and he'd come back the next day and he's fine."

That's some "fanpost" like Bleacher Report does. CFN started doing that this year, and it's diluted their product, IMO.

Seems like every outsider loves to translate Lee's stats at Tulane into our W-L this year...

Nope. Actual content writer for them.

Right, but what I mean, is that he's basically a glorified fan poster. He's a new guy who just covers the sunbelt. His qualifications are no better than you or I. I've been following that site, and using their picks for over half a decade, and a bunch of new names just popped up their as writers. CFN added a bunch of them in the beginning of August.

Ahh, got ya.  Yeah his article had a definite slant on it toward ASU

Yeah, it reads like a Koolaid fan post. I'll keep an eye on those in the future though and continue adding them to my pick threads.

Good. I'd rather play them at their best, and more importantly, I'm glad the kid isn't hurt too bad and is going to get to play.

Happy for that...but it would have been cooler if it were a surprise. 

 

Who ever leaked it sucks ass. 

It would have, but this can give it time to grow, and for the media to pick up on it.

Jeremy is an outstanding writer, at times wickedly hilarious, but he's strictly a fan who somewhat dabbles in actual sports writing.

Is Dee Liner going to play?  Thought he was hurt.

90-95% chance he plays according to coach Anderson. Been doing well the past few days in drills with no groin issues.
