OK, Crazy. :) LOL, no it was us. Read the article I linked above. Heck the quote I included was from the article. The part where is says "Radakovich said HE contacted Alabama to discuss postponing the series". Rad was our AD. WE backed out.

Alabama A&M came on the schedule because we backed out of the Alabama game. I'm not proud of it, but that's what happened. It isn't the ACC's fault. http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-tech-sports/2010/05/04/why-tech-and-alabama-postponed/ That "attractive alternative" ended up being Alabama A&M...

One of my wife's 2nd cousins is one of those "big money" guys at Auburn. Back when the whole thing with Cam Newton was being investigated, I asked him if he thought they'd paid Cam. His response, "Yeah. Hell, a good offensive lineman goes for $100K, I'm just surprised they could get the kid...

Ever see the "Yella Wood" guy on tv? He is a very large donor to Auburn and used to enjoy being one of the money guys who had access to the locker room and sidelines. One of the first things Chizik did was revoke all the special sideline passes and special access privileges. Even when he...

LOL, well that's entirely true that I might not be that great of a coach. But I've coached over 1200 baseball games and have a career winning percentage of over 77% wins, so I'm apparently getting really lucky on finding talent. And I'll reiterate, you CAN win with lesser talent. But you...

I can say with 100% certainty that this just isn't true. The best coach in the world isn't taking bad players and beating teams with better players...not consistently. I found out a long time ago that I'm a whole lot better coach when I have good players. You can coach players up but only so...

LOL, we shall see. Driskel is a prototypical spread QB whom they tried to make a drop-back passer. With the bruisers they have at RB and Driskel's size to match, I think they'll be tough to stop in the offense that their new OC will run.

Thank you. I didn't know that. Driskel is going to start anyway, so I can understand him leaving.

Sorry...posted twice for some reason.

The running back for them, Kelvin Taylor is the son of Fred Taylor, the NFL running back. He was forced to play as a true freshman at the end of the year because their top 2 RB's went down. Jones will be back from a knee injury in the fall but I expect him to back up Taylor who played like a...

Are you sure about that? I was told if he drops down a division for 1 year, then he could indeed transfer back to a D1 school and play the next year.

Florida lost 10 starters for the season last year that they get back. If I remember correctly, they actually had a total of 23 players who missed at least one game for them during the season because of injury so they were forced to play some of their young talent. With that much talent...

http://www.reddit.com/tb/1vdhgo Looks like he's about to change the atmosphere at Texas.

No he didn't. He still hasn't graduated. He has TALKED about coming back to get his degree but the only times he has come back to Tech has been to work out so far. I think he MIGHT one day graduate, but he hasn't done so yet. Link For Proof Read the caption underneath the picture of Calvin...

Calvin Johnson says hello.

How do you know that? I'm seriously curious here. Because this is one of my biggest pet peeves with Monday morning quarterbacks. Ask any of the football coaches here how many times they expect their QB to NOT throw it to their number 1 option on a pass play if he is open. If any of them say...

A bit of revisionist history there. Tebow took over with the team having a 1-6 record and was able to QB the team to enough wins to get them to the playoffs AND beat Pittsburgh in the first round of the playoffs. Were they scoring 40 points per game? No. But they were scoring at least 1...

Here's a link to a site that I think has great Xs and Os explanations.....sort of a Football 101. This specific article is about the basic DL gaps, but you can look around the site and find more articles. There's a really good article on the differences in the 4-3 vs the 3-4 that is linked in...

Nope. First, you don't put one of your top 2 QB's into a situation where he might get hurt blocking. Second, while Tim is the most experienced option QB we have now, he's also the least athletic. The coaching staff views him as "serviceable but not athletic enough to compete with the big boys"...

I think he does a pretty good job.
