Bosworth is another example of what I was referring to in my other post. Being a great college player and being NFL material are not the same thing even though they overlap in the Venn diagram. As you are well aware, I’m sure, for decades they referred to the “Heisman curse” because of the...

I would have to go back and check (too lazy so probably won’t) but didn’t both Southern Cal and Notre Dame hold their own in Tuscaloosa’s humidity?

Not blowing it off. Just pointing out that coaches move around and Saban was not an SEC guy until he was. Texas has already shown that they can handle the rigor and I suspect Oklahoma will be ok too.

This rings true to me. We’ve seen in the past how the SEC responds to a perceived slight. They go nuclear. Big press conferences, lawyers, state house legislators weighing in, whatever it takes they will use it to say, “If you don’t want this stink all over you, you better at least listen to...

Probably, but that’s not the debate, is it? Coaches move around. So? I know Alabama worried for about two seasons as to whether a Michigan State coach could handle the SEC and they are perhaps equally apprehensive about what a Washington coach can handle it. But this is partly the case of...

Maybe. I’m still hung up on the chicken and egg question. It seems that better marketing leads to better recruits, rinse, repeat. You’ve done the research so you would know better but, anecdotally at least, it seems to me that even draft picks alone don’t tell the whole story. Some players...

And, not to put too fine a point on it, but the SEC didn’t turn this around over night, but they were consistent like the slow drip of water that erodes granite. They did it when the west coast teams were better, they did it when the old Southwest Conference was better, and they done it the...

Wow. This is wrong for so many reasons.

I answered in a similar vein but before I saw your response. That was exactly what I was saying.

All I want is better marketing. That’s it. Those years when the ACC has been better than the SEC I want us to act with the same swagger and bravado that the other major conferences act with. Instead of going all humble. In those years where we are clearly inferior I want us to do what the SEC...

So. No reactions to this ? Would love to hear people’s refutations, why the “experts” are getting it wrong, and just some good character assassinations in general.

Most years, The Institute being The Institute, Tech has had to play a perfect game, with few mistakes and minor injuries, to compete against deep and talented top tier teams. This year is no exception. Tech will need to maximize every scoring opportunity, because FSU will probably get stronger...

….and, it is this running marketing circles around the ACC, that makes most fans unhappy with the conference and at least five teams contemplating when and how they might leave. I swear, if the ACC leadership could just get their house in order, and do a better job promoting the conference, I...

Now you’re just piling on. 😊

Just looking quickly at their OL it appears to be bigger than a lot of pro teams. Maybe they are slow 😀 Gulp.

Yeah, I get what he’s saying though. However, he’s operating on a strict interpretation of NIL which, I think we all know, went out the window as soon as NIL went into place. It’s just compensation for work, pure and simple. Not many athletes will actually get their faces on a box of cereal.

Maybe. This was a change after schedules were set and student was enrolled. A Coach arbitrarily changing a schedule that effects multiple students, classes and professors after everyone else planned ahead shows a special kind of arrogance.

Wasn’t buzz national mascot of the year one year? Seems to me, with the philosophy behind NIL, if you are promoting and selling the institution, you deserve compensation.

It goes against popular belief but not every class can be handled remotely. This one definitely cannot. Besides, when I was in academia instructors and administrators spoke of “prime teaching hours.” These were sacrosanct and could only be violated by extracurricular activities, assemblies...
