You make sense so that excuses you from the board. Thanks for coming by.

Well -- and while I gather it is an anecdotal sense I really object to the "pimping" term; if I know what a pimp is he doesn't provide jerseys -- the argument was about getting a cut from his college when his college (and/or the NCAA) made money from his image or actions. So he has to be in...

So good. Let me know which is the first university to apply your standard. It is up to them, right? So stop. You think they will?

Well, what is parity to some is mediocrity to others. But they already are being paid, in modest amounts, but nonetheless paid. And try as I may I cannot think of a single reason the NCAA or the university should own the rights to a player's image or deny a player who has reached the age of...

There are things I know and there are things I know. I know some must cheat. I know I can't prove that, and based on the postings, nobody else can either. And since proof would be required, then where is it?

That's it? That's all you got? An assistant BKB coach in a ramble? I have no experience with wiretaps but my best guess is that something upwards of 99.5% is disregarded and the other .5% is parsed, dissected and left figuring most of that is diddly. Shoot, wiretap this board and ... so no, you...

First time anybody ever accused the NCAA of that. It might be the most clueless, profit-making organization ever devised. But in this event, the Arab proverb applies: when the fox cannot reach the grapes, he says they are not ripe. We can't compete, so they must cheat.

I agree they wanted at Alabama again, but if I had to guess --and I do not follow the NFL or the draft in any way other than say remotely casually -- I think I recall that none of those deciding to return were projected to go as high in the draft as they initially thought, and the difference in...

You know, I had almost that exact thought in reading the piece, just based on the things I have read about Dodd.

Pray tell, then tell me, because apparently I need to know something. So if you know something, I am anxious to hear it. Not to mention the NCAA. Call 'em up.

That's just silly. Not even an alternate fact. What you can't explain -- let's face it, a lot of us still think of Swinney as kind of a goofball -- you must ascribe to cheating, though you have not a shred of evidence. Get over it.

I post this though it is a month or so old -- I just stumbled across it -- and it is the most thorough exploration of this "culture" thing I have seen, or at least the most understandable to me. I have heard bits and pieces of the "culture" Collins talks about, but other than players picking up...

Wonder what his hand-picked DC thought about that?

It is not an apt comparison perhaps, but maybe instructive. I have a retired newspaper editor as a neighbor, who adamantly insisted on calling out politicians and the powerful by name for what he considered a simple reason: "If you write that the county commissioners made a stupid decision...

I still have to ask to ask the question:what happened to the coaching theory that a good one fitted his offense (and defense) to the players, and not the other way around? I don't think asking Graham to throw 35 times is good coaching, or claiming some moral victory because we closed the gap...

Well, you wanted passing.

For those of us who don't tweet or twitter or whatever, drop a hint.

Bullied by Clemson, maybe. Bullied by Georgia, maybe. Duke? I hope it has not come to that.

I don't quite know how to respond to that. I just don't.

I think we will just disagree on much of this, but mostly on the view that Paul Johnson would ever give up his offense. Going all the way back to GSU and Erk Russell, who the story goes, hired Johnson and moved on to AD, then discovered Johnson actually head coaching on the practice field. He...
