Coach Mullins is a good coach but as Juice puts it he hates recruiting. My Florida friends tell me that when you meet him...well, let's just say he does not give off warm, fuzzy, positive vibes. None of them liked him but still thought he was a good coach but the sight of Miami, FSU, and UGA...

You mean those things with the holes? Cool but I am too old for them. I will stick with my Sperry Docksiders. I can hear the laughter now.

Pray, what are "slides"? I am 67 and not conversant with an urban dictionary.

I retired from teaching high school in a rural south Georgia school system about 6 years ago after 31 years in the trenches. The strangest phenomena I observed was this obsession with all things having to do with Bob Marley. Those kids were crazy about him for some reason. maybe it was the...

Western Carolina's game with Charleston Southern (hat tip to Juice) was something else. The two teams combined for 90 points, over 1,000 yards total offense and if that were not enough nearly 200 yards in penalties. Western Carolina passed for 433 yards on the way to a 600 yard total offense...

You are correct. I got those names mixed up. There are a slew of colleges in the low country playing football. The Citadel, Charleston Southern, Coastal Carolina, etc. Whoever it was it was an entertaining game to watch even though I only saw the highlights. Good catch! Upon further...

I watched part of their video game with College of Charleston. Somehow, Western Carolina managed to score a bazillion points with a zillion yards despite 4 turnovers. Other than a quarterback who can throw the ball and receivers that appear to be able to go get it, there was nothing much to...

You are correct. It was back up Larry Good from Camilla who threw that late TD pass to speedster John Sias. Yep. It was payback on the part of Dodd and totally out of character for him but I understand why he did it. He saw an opportunity to let Stallings know he had not forgotten and he...

The only time I ever saw Dodd do something that was totally out of character as an ultra conservative coach was in 1966 (I think) against Texas A&M. Tech was tied with the Aggies at the half who were then coached by Gene Stallings in his first head coaching job. A little background as an...

After my second time watching the game, I was encouraged by the open field tackling by linebackers and defensive backs. Disappointed by the lack of effort at times by well, number 72 and 81. Their blocking left a lot to be desired. No excuse for not at least hitting someone on a screen pass...

He wasn't the only one. The primary problem on that team is so obvious a blind man could see it. The offensive line is terrible. As for whether or not we would have been in the game without the special teams miscues, penalties, and clock management. Perhaps but if Dabo started Cade K. they...

Disappointing but pretty much expected. I saw something tonight I had not seen since Auburn- Alabama circa 1970 the infamous "Punt Bama Punt" game. Two blocked punts that eventually resulted in TDs. Offensive line continues to be bad in year four. Defense played hard but if Dabo had any sense...

Based on what he did last year, "unheralded" is probably about as good as its going to get for him. I just don't think he is all that great and is close to being a 5 star bust. Your explanation is correct.

"unheralded"? He was a five star coming out of high school. Personally, I think he will prove to be a bust but he has another year to silence the critics which have been pretty loud judging by the Tiger fans I know in church. To say they are unhappy with him is an understatement. In his...

I agree. I think we will be competitive for three quarters but Clemson pulls away in the fourth. Fans, players, and coaches will all have reason to feel pretty good about our team. I am not convinced that Clemson's quarterback is the real deal...5 stars notwithstanding. After last year's...

I think you confuse being realistic with being delusional.

Seems reasonable. Virginia Tech, FSU, and UCF are possible wins if Tech plays well but all three are on the road against teams more talented (sort of) but suffering from their own disfunctions of one kind or another. IIWII

Oh sure and that will be the last 3 wins of the year. This team will go as far as both lines will take it...not very far.

Nope. I am as optimistic as I am going to be. 4 wins, 5 max. It might be 3 but I think we can do better. As for the chick. Nice.

OK. I am just saying that with expectations in the media so low, any success with be regarded with astonishment. Part of my post was just me being a wise guy.
