    He has a uh, interesting personality. Oh boy is this going to be fun.
  2. Spring Practice

    Given our usual depth situation, I would imagine that the "3rd team" is one that either exists solely on paper or is composed principally of walk ons and freshmen. In other words, it is not viable. This has gone on for as long as I can remember but offensive line play is one that is...

    I knew he did something good. TIC

    Damn it! You made me look bad again but I am pretty sure Stephenson was some kind of all star perhaps in a later year. Two All Americans on the line that year? Almost unheard of for a Tech team even from that era.

    I am pretty sure that Don Stephenson was an All American center on that team which was loaded with good players.
  6. Spring Practice

    Makes sense to me. I guess that the proof will be in the pudding so to speak. However, I would caution on passing judgement on Coach Woody until he has had at least two years. We have given that much and more to previous coordinators. Come to think of it, I have no idea how long the tenure...
  7. Spring Practice

    That sounds like something he would say. Coach Spurrier used to get upset with his defensive coordinators when the Gators played Kentucky and Hal Mumme had that short passing game with crossing patterns and little out patterns all over the place and would hog the ball moving between the 20s but...
  8. Spring Practice

    Makel Harris a two time, I think, all state player from Americus. State 100 yard champion his senior year. My favorite memory of him was on special teams when an opposing kick returner appeared to have a lane for a kick return TD and Makel caught him from behind running from the opposite side...
  9. Spring Practice

    Makes sense to me. Coach Owens has captured the essential ingredient of success for a good football teams. Well, that and having the horses.
  10. Athlete majors (spin-off thread)

    Look I did not intend for this to hijack a thread. I am concerned about too many students going into to much debt to obtain degrees that are of questionable value. The class of 2016 graduated with an average of $37,000 in student loan debt. They have to pay on average $351 a month. For a...

    My daughter had a "advanced degree" and it still took her 8 years after graduation. "nicht wahr" yourself. Economics trumps estimates, census, and just about anything else. You have not refuted my basic premise that college degrees are overpriced and WAY too many people are pursuing degrees...

    No, these majors and others have become centers of indoctrination. Nothing more, nothing less.

    True. But that is what happens when you allow intellectuals to take over a football forum. Please see to it that this does not happen again.
  14. Athlete majors (spin-off thread)

    At one time the idea of expanding your intellect and world view was to be sure a noble calling and a excellent idea but the cost of college these days has overshadowed everything to the point of absurdity. I will give three real life examples of people I happen to know personally. One of them...

    Well, it could be the "denigrating references" are due to the studies themselves. Whether they be African, Women's, Gender, or what have you. They don't translate to a good job or useful skills. Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings but PC just ain't what it used to be.

    Because of the UNC academic scandal tainted that program to such a large degree. It is simply astonishing to me that UNC did what they did and the NCAA opted to do nothing. Players were showing up on the last day of class, having papers done for them, etc. It has nothing to do with "African"...
  17. Is it mostly us or them?

    I don't know. I think it would be kind of cool to bring in June Jones or a disciple of his "Run and Shoot" offense and try that. We probably would not win many games but at least we would quit arguing about whether or not there is enough passing.
  18. Is it mostly us or them?

    Pray, what is this "defense" of which you speak? Can't say I have seen much of that around these parts lately.
  19. Spring Practice

    Thank you. He can play a lot of positions.
  20. Is it mostly us or them?

    The 2014 team put on a clinic in cut blocking and yes your observation about blocking at the thighs is correct but trust me defensive players are more concerned about their knees. The 2014 game against Miami was textbook on cut blocking especially on the perimeter. Several of those Abacks had...
