  1. 2022 Spring Football Practice

    My understanding is that his name was not pronounced anything like the spelling. Something like MAC SHAN with the middle letters silent. Talented quarterback as I recall but did not get a whole lot of help from his line.

    "Eddie McAshan. Now, there is a name I have not heard in a long time.
  3. Hire Fast, Fire Slow?

    He may not have mentioned the Bear for some good reasons having to do with how he was treated as a player. When he was an assistant at Alabama he famously told the Tide players in 1961: "...Tech players hit hard in the first quarter but they don't in the fourth quarter." In 1965, in his...
  4. Hire Fast, Fire Slow?

    George is the one that I wonder about sometimes. I think that some big programs really missed the boat with him. Given the resources of say, Michigan, Penn State, or Clemson he would have won a national championship as a head coach.

    Being clairvoyant does have its uses in regards to the Dwags. "They gonna do...what they are gonna do." As Ron Zook eloquently explained various shenanigans Gator players got involved in during his brief tenure. A way with words that one.
  6. Hire Fast, Fire Slow?

    I don't know the correct answer, if there is one. I can relate that when Florida AD Jeremy Foley chose to fire Ron Zook who had the misfortune of following Steve Spurrier, he did it in the latter stages of Zook's third season despite the fact that Coach Zook had recruited well (his players were...

    No one ever claimed that UGA players were the sharpest knives in the drawer. IIWII Did you ever notice that Tech players (not saying they are angels) seem to get in far less trouble of all kinds while Dwags have an unlimited talent for getting in trouble... legal and otherwise. You would...

    I did not know that. He was a highly recruited running back from Columbus. Perhaps, he has turned himself around or descended into the morass. Georgia, being Georgia, just went out and got two backs that were better and never missed a beat.

    Upon further review, Crowell only played at UGA for one season rushing for 850 yards in 2011. He disappeared after that with the emergence of Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall. I don't know what happened to him but for a brief season that "Crow" really did fly. Kind of a cautionary tale about...

    Back in the day, not so long ago, UGA had a running back named Crowell who boasted of "...that "Crow" (meaning himself) was going to fly..." So he did, against the likes of Vanderbilt, Kentucky and various other small fry, against Florida, Auburn, and the other bullies...not so much. Talented...

    I am originally from Atlanta so I have more than a passing acquaintance with Hosea and his antics.

    Could be worse...he could have been more like Moe Greene the front man for the Corleone mob family in the movie. You know what happened to him.

    Ballin is correct but for the Coastal to be worse than other years is pretty much a tallest midget in the room deal.

    Simply put, football is the straw that stirs the drink. Stansbury's made one really bad mistake and that was hitching his wagon to a fast talking promoter. That said, athletic directors have been fired for much less. Is it fair? Probably not, but this is a tough business as TStan and Coach...

    There is a pretty good chance that hope will come to fruition, which is why, even though I put down 4 wins, it is not out of the question for us to have a pretty mediocre team and still manage to get to 6 wins. I would think that to be the ceiling though.

    Maybe because he might come cheap?
  17. Looking at the roster...

    I will take your word for it.
  18. Looking at the roster...

    The biggest concern I have is the offensive and defensive lines. We lost our three best offensive linemen from last year. There is little to no depth. Coach Key has his work cut out for him.

    You forgot to mention the new linebacker we are getting off the portal. Cedric something or another, from South Carolina I believe. He comes "highly recommended".
  20. Going on the Record

    Like a lot of people, I voted for four wins. I predicted four wins last year in a similar poll. I cannot see how this year's team can be better than last year's team with the three best offensive linemen gone, and the three stalwarts from the defense. The only way to six or seven wins and a...
