Dodd in his autobiography labeled him, "potentially" the greatest he ever coached. According to Dodd, who has seen way more football players than any of us, Castleberry was blessed with speed, quick feet, and uncanny vision. He compared him to Hawks basketball player "Spud" Webb.

GOAT? In the modern era, I would go with Calvin, Joe Ham, and ELI Old Timers, I will say the Billy Lothridge, (spelling?), Joe Guyon, and Clint Castleberry. Billy was runner up in the Heisman, like Joe, to Roger Staubach. Castleberry, likewise received Heisman notice I believe. Castleberry...

Bobby's characterization of Coach Johnson's offense was classic: "Dadgum wishbone"

I don't know about typical interviews but Spurrier's post game commentary was always funny especially when he would zing his own players for having a big head and/or UGA.

Supposedly, both Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb stated that Jackson was the best natural hitter they ever saw.

Your confidence does you credit...alas, I do not share it.

Yes it does, but it is happening even more infrequently than even during the 1970s. It will be a very long time, if ever, before we are truly competitive. IIWII

I don't keep up with recruiting, other than Tech of course, but I believed that UGA had more 5 stars than the chart shows. It is the consistency of getting more than just one or two each year that is impressive and the waves of 4 stars as well. Only a handful of factories can come close to...

Six, count them, six All Americans on that team and they beat a highly ranked Duke team on the road in Durham with ease.

What would you expect from one of Bear Bryant's boys?

He might be the biggest prospect Rice has secured since Jess Neely was running the program with great success more than 60 years ago.

"I'd probably have more interest if there was a break in college football between those who just want to drop any pretenses that the sport has anything to do with a University and those programs that want to operate under a more student-athlete model." An excellent summation of the current...

I was kind of wondering to which circle of hell he was consigned.

It makes them respected as a traditional college program more so than say Mississippi State, Texas A&M, or any number of wannabe factories that are spending millions of dollars chasing a rainbow that somehow always seems just beyond their grasp.

So you would take out three of our four national championships? 1917 with Heisman, 1927 with Alexander and 1952 with Dodd? I would like to make the last four years irrelevant myself.

Funny you mention that about Chan and teams hating to play Tenuta's zone blitzing schemes. On one of those Athlon anonymous coaching quote articles. One ACC coach said this about Tenuta's defenses: "They are blitzing when they get off the bus and the bastards are coming from everywhere." As...

Joe should have won. It is not even close. The Heisman Trophy is for the best football player that year. It is not meant to be a lifetime achievement award.

They may choose to retain what little credibility they have left and not participate in this scam.

Not allowing it. I don't give a tinker's damn about the SEC. If Tech wants to continue to try and compete with these semi professional teams, have at it but it is ultimately a losing proposition.

Drop the zeroes and put million after the 2. That seems reasonable to me.
