I was teasing my Auburn relatives in Alabama that the reason the Tigers folded in the bowl game was that the SEC just means less. They did not like it one bit. I told them that getting off the "Gus Bus" would have repercussions. Still a lot of talent on that team especially on the defensive...

My thesis is that Nebraska had the misfortune of having a series of mediocre coaches that would have been fine with great recruiting but that slipped also. Nebraska and Tennessee are two formerly great programs that have discovered the way down is a whole lot faster than the way up. It only...

Let's see. Embry, Roddy, AA, Nesbitt, and Dwyer all night long. Should have been declared illegal.

Very interesting, the "Mad Scientist" coached every position at one time or another giving him a unique perspective. Mississippi State probably will not win any SEC or national championships but I would bet that SEC West coaches collectively went "No! No!, anybody but him" when the Maroon hired...

I had it for about 10 days. Like a very mild cold. One day of slight fever at 99.4 degrees absent the characteristic body aches and chills of the flu. Strange. I went and got the proscribed infusion treatment done at Phoebe Putney. Be forewarned, this thing will make you fatigued...

Come, come, we all know that Tashard will not be here, what else you got?

I am not "positive" but I can certainly see a vast improvement in wins doubling this year's total or even 7 wins. The Coastal is, as always, in a state of chaos that will enable at least one team to surprise to the upside...why not us? We will, for once, have the proven quarterback, a flock...

Ask Power 5 Mississippi State just how cute it was when getting blown out by a triple option Power 5 team in the Orange Bowl.

Here is a rule that I follow which seems helpful. Don't compare coaches, players, teams, etc. from past eras with the present. It is a fool's errand at best.

Seems pretty apparent to me.

That was precisely what I thought. UNC was widely seen as the second best team in the ACC and was ranked tenth in the nation. We turned the proverbial corner and walked smack dab into the wall.

That Smelter was something else. He walked on the field with the regal indifference of the top tom cat in the hood. He was a guy that other teams would notice immediately and point out saying "That is the guy we have to stop." He just had that look and way about him.

Win more than 3 games and they will go away. Don't win and you will be adding zeroes to those same 6 guys.

Hmm. I don't think that is quite what D**** Fosbury had in mind back in the day. 1968 Olympics. Poor fellow to be burdened with a name like that. Anyway, he has a gold medal.

No problem. "Its a Mad, Mad, World" in so far as all things Tech football are concerned but then that is normal for the entire Coastal. Chaos all the way around.

My post was not directed at you but at the OP that you quoted. He is "mad" about a lot of things except what he should be mad about.

If three straight three win seasons does not get you "mad" then nothing will.

Funny thing. I did not like coaches yelling in my face either but the only thing I really remember was that one of them LIBERALLY splashed that Aqua Velva aftershave on just before practice because he would shave a second time for some reason. I can still smell it. Strange what one remembers...

I hope he is a "successful head coach at GT"...otherwise there will be "trouble in River City" and it won't be "swell". Do I get bonus points for the Music Man references?

Others more knowledgeable can confirm or refute this but there are rumblings that the two defensive linemen are not exactly "oven ready" as the saying goes. One was injured and did not even play his senior year and the other ballooned up 40lbs and was moved to offense. Caveat Emptor applies to...
