I understand the "fearfulness" if you remember this team has in the recent past lost to the Citadel, suffered an historic blowout by Clemson and has won three games in each of the past two seasons but at some point the players will put all that behind them and have to start playing with...

I knew there was something strange about this team being in the infamous "Bottom Ten". From 2010 to 2014 the Huskies had a remarkable run of excellent seasons with 57 wins and only 13 losses. Their WORST record was 11-3 which occurred three times: 2014, 2011, and 2010. Two other years they...

Interesting. I did not know that Aadam Oliver was All ACC for 2007.

Maybe they will be but there is no way of knowing until the Jackets beat Pitt, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Duke, and BC. Win all or almost all of those and I will be convinced getting beat or even stomped by the likes of UGA, Clemson, Notre Dame, Miami, and UNC does not bother me that much.

Well, scoring more points than the other team for starters, but I believe what you are driving at, is how do different fan bases define "winning" and "success" given their different expectations? Winning at Tech is very different from "winning" at the elite factories where double digit win...

OK, I will give them credit in deference to a time not too long ago when the Huskies were a challenge for many Big Ten teams due to a fine rushing game but they have fallen on hard times lately. Though, perhaps not to the extent of Bowling Green which has been "garbage" as you phrased it since...

That is about the only thing that went right for Dino last year. As for Northern Illinois, they are not Alcorn State it is true but they are historically bad and still widely considered the worst team in the MAC. Anything less than a blowout will be considered disappointing by some but to me...

You better have a seat because it may take a while, if it ever does.

But, Coach Graves is beloved among Florida alumni for leading them out of the wilderness so to speak. Gator Bait had an article a few years ago detailing the most important games, perhaps ten or so, in Gator football history. One of them was Florida beating Tech at Florida on a two point...

I taught high school for 30 years and that sort of nonsense went on all the time. I am sorry that you and your cousin were victimized by that mentality. In many ways, that episode explains his life story.

I would not put all that much credence in what my friends say. Florida fans are never happy. The perfect season for many of them would be to go 12-0, beat Alabama in the SEC Championship game, beat Notre Dame in the national championship game and fire the coach under the goal posts after the...

Hope springs eternal in Athens. After all just a few years after posting the worst season record in major league baseball history, a team so bad that manager Casey Stengel was moved to mutter: "Is there anyone that can play this game around here?" the "Amazing Mets" not only won the National...

My Florida friends are not optimistic. Their reasoning is that Florida, while plenty deep at most spots and still touted as "Defensive Back U" simply cannot replace players the caliber of Trask, Pitts, and a couple of other NFL caliber stars while UGA pretty much has the entire cast returning...

It is but "this year is going to be different... I think" No matter UGA has to beat both Clemson and Florida. Lose one or the other and they are swirling the drain again as there are simply too many elite factories with just as much of an argument come November as a one loss Dwag team...

Everything points to UGA getting it done this year. Veteran quarterback, loads of talent on both sides of the ball, ridiculously easy SEC schedule with no Alabama or LSU while Auburn, Florida, and Tennessee all look to be down a bit this year. As for underachieving programs, I have not read...

Yes, you were like me. On the other hand, I am fortunate to have retired with a pension with the state of Georgia for 30 plus years in the classroom so there is that. My daughter lives in Decatur and works for an outfit that sells Medicare Advantage plans. She is the executive assistant to...

Feel your pain. First job I had out of college was teaching history and economics in Griffin in the late 1970s. I got paid $8,000 a year the first year and was glad to have a job. I worked as a pool manager for my parents' country club in the summer to make ends meet for $400 a month...

A fourth possibility: The SEC declares itself to be professionals in name as they already are in fact and joins the NFL.

I did just that. UMass, Western Michigan, Tennessee, New Hampshire...a regular murders' row. After playing Tech, Pitt has an off week. Gee, they just might go all in for our game, you think?

I really meant the culture and such that Petrino left behind for him to clean up.
