In the ACC, Clemson is really good, the Dookies look solid, and I think Vippysue is for real, even though they seem to always start the year fast and finish on a down note. Da U is a headscratcher - talented, but do they have the staying power? And FSU is an ungodly mess. Taggart may be in...

Yep, I’m gettin there myself - the Gailey Angst redux.

I’ve bought several Adidas polos since the GT deal was announced, and the fit’s been pretty consistent. Athletic socks are better than what I was buying before. Quality stuff - I’m glad we’re on board with them.

I look forward to your defensive analysis videos this season, LD....

Seems like our special teams are usually special in a bad way, unless we have an individual standout like Butker. I don't understand why this has to be the case. Are we so thin on athletic talent we just can't cover kicks well, coaching issues, lack of effective ST practice time, or what?

'Should be' and 'are' are two very different things. Most of our practice reps on offense have to be on the core 3O plays, and let's face it, you don't see skilled passing QBs lined up to play in our offense.

3rd and 7 is a lot more doable if you have a credible passing threat to compliment your running game. The DBs can't cheat. Our 2014 offense was so effective because it could convert 3rd & long, and we could convert 3rd & long because JT had Smelts and Waller to throw to, along JT's own...

Nicely done, LD. I saved the Orange Bowl skycam feed myself, so I could see the offense from behind. Your narration points out several things I missed.

Thanks, Plumber.

Hey, y'all, I just got my Adidas gold coaches polo through the mail, and it's got a row of little holes horizontally across the back just above shoulder blade level. They're symmetrical and evenly spaced, so they appear to be an intentional feature. Doesn't make sense to me. Are they supposed...

I dunno about that Mandela quote. Seems to me there’s quite a bit of despair on this board at times.

An interesting point. But Fridge's offense was tough on the opposition because of the variety of looks he'd give the same play in order to disguise it. CPJ's offense is a pain to prepare for because the other guys see it once or twice a year at most. I'll take Big Ralph's game over CPJ's...

True. I don't expect a great 2018 season. But I always hope....

Connelly is way too reality-based for this board's taste. But I think he's got it just about right. I see us finishing 6-6 this season.

By the time I got there, EBS had moved up the street a ways. There was a Laundromat in that space, I think. Ah, but Juniors Grill...wonderful. I used to go over for breakfast early in the fall and watch the Yankee freshman see grits for the first time ever.

On the other hand, here's some anecdotal data since my prior post. I got to talking sports gear with one of our interns, a rising college senior. A local school, TxA&M-Corpus Christi, has an Adidas deal for its teams. I mentioned GT's new deal, and the intern got interested. "Adidas got...

You go to the adidas college gear website - big welcome to U of Washington July 1, zipadeedoodah about GT. Not happy a'tall.

My first GT game was fall 1971, GT-Michigan State. Me, a brand new Rat, sittin' in those damn wooden bleachers we used to have on the track during football season. Bud Carson's defense kicked Sparty's butt. First non-GT college football game was a surreal experience, indeed - the Big12...
