Thank you my wife was pestering me about cutting the grass again. Disturbs my concentration on all things 404 and such.

I was watching Boston College and Pitt. Interesting game. BC has the very definition of a statue. He is big, real big but unlike say Logan Thomas of Virginia Tech he is slow as Christmas. That said, he has a tight end that is an absolute octopus. That guy catches everything that is thrown...

I believe it is a fool's errand to compare players from different eras. It is pointless and serves no purpose. Hamilton and his crew benefited from having a balanced attack and receivers that could make any team pay for bringing up safeties for run support. Of course, they had the best...

When my daughter was a graduate student at South Carolina, the joke was that IPTAY meant "Its Probation Time Again Ya'll" Now, of course, anyone who wants to can pay players as long as your conscience allows it I suppose. You know what they say in the SEC? "If you ain't cheating...you ain't...

I can believe it. If they can survive and prosper under a tyrant like Coach Saban they can survive anything.

That is true but he beat Georgia two years which is something. He beat Alabama, not once but twice. He also lost to Furman and other bottom dwellers. Coach Ross said he was shocked at the lack of speed on the roster when he got here. IIWII

I will only comment about "how good Clemson is" Best Clemson team I have ever seen, better than last year as good as it was. I mean, how many teams have two legit Heisman contenders? That said, the team that impressed me just from the stand point of what I was expecting to see was Alabama...

Comparisons to Bill Lewis? Christ, either Coach Collins or Paul on the worst day they ever had were better than he who should be named.

I resent the tone of this post. There is only one bum around here and that's me only because I am retired and living the proverbial "Life of Riley" according to my wife. I hear her now complaining that I have not cut the grass like I promised last week.

Are our facilities really top 50? I have no idea. They look nice to an occasional visitor but it was within living memory (circa 1979) that our facilities were widely regarded as the worst in what was then called Division 1.

Players that are truly amateurs, like ours, should be off limits. The paid semi pros at Clemson, Alabama, UGA, etc. well, they are fair game it would seem on those teams sites. That may not be right either but most fan bases are not as restrained as ours. IIWII

See me and just about all my in laws.

Yes, he did which is why he was so vindictive towards Tech while he was at Duke. Imagine that, the job at Tech was routinely, in those years, thought to be among the very worst in Division 1 with all kinds of pitfalls and challenges ranging from recruiting restrictions to downright hostility...

Unfortunately, each of those games is a game that we can lose, including Duke. For what its worth, we are past the "easy" part of the schedule I just regret that we lost to Syracuse and its a pity we did not play Duke earlier when they were more vulnerable it would seem.

There will be a sector of top 25 or so teams that we can aspire to become...but we are not going to be in the elite 8 or so that will be winning national championships from here on out. Our best recruiting class was barely in the top 25 while Miami's WORST class was barely in the top 25 over...

Clemson has a great team, the best, perhaps, in school history right up there with the great FSU and Miami teams but let me tell you, Alabama is not backing down from anyone. They were behind at halftime to UGA but once they kicked it in gear there was no doubt who the better team was. UGA is...

I did not know that he had interviewed but I can certainly understand that the lack of accommodations by the Hill was a deal breaker. There was talk around that time of "deemphasizing football" and even dropping football. The administration was certainly hostile to the athletic department...

George was a better coach but I don't think he would have wanted to come to Tech. I am not sure any really good coach would have wanted to come. It was that bad.

Admit it, you like the Miller's Tale the best.

To be honest, Coach Ritch is a far better coach and person than Kirby Smart will ever be but that is just my opinion. Smart has better bagmen and better players but each had their unique bogeymen. For Mark it was Florida, for Smart it is Alabama. I was startled watching that UGA - Alabama...
