Please Lord above, an end to the "fake news" defense. It always gets in the way of any discussion, from football to poilitics.

Problem solved. Level headed people stay off message boards.

what are you talking about?

The man must have spectacular achievements in his life if being president of the Institute is "one" of the highlights of his career.

Well, if we have decided we want to chunk the ball now, then Hurts ain't the guy. Anyway, he is going to a big time program with legitimate national pretensions and Miami might be the place. Except Miami likes to toss it around, too. He is an exceptional athlete with that QB curse. Knowing...

Okay, I got it. The Ouch factor is the determinant. But what if I have a low pain threshhold? (Never mind. I am just picking at you.)

There is always a certain ego involved with GT courses and professsors and grading and students and ...I am certain they are for the most part bright -- ot all of 'em can be above average, after all -- but bright students are everywhere and as you note, some of those liberal arts courses at...

Isn't it amazing how competition is viewed? Even Dabo Swinney had to correct Kirk Herbstreit who said on-air that the Lawrence-at-QB decision was made to prepare for the NC, and Herbstreit is maybe the best analyst. Swinney pointed out the starters had to earn their jobs every week and those who...

Now, wait. Four yards and more after he's hit? Is there an S on his chest?

Well, Collins has one position we settled for him. One thing we need to keep in mind is that with the spread option the Bback was almost at the line of scrimmage and making almost no gap decisions. With that RPO or zone read so popular now that Collins uses -- though he calls it "exciting" and...

Anybody want to explain why the Dodd award didn't go to him?

I guess I am part of that crowd. I don't oppose the lottery, though I think Georgia and the rest of 'em ought to flat out admit the lottery money replaced but did not augment state education money; I do not oppose alcohol, just not in a car, please; and know diddly about marijuana though the...

play better, play later. Later = ESPN audience

Ah, there is this thing about the cart and the horse.

What? 12 jobs in 24 years and his family living out of shoeboxes makes you suspicious? Somewhere in that 24 years I would like to have seen a bust-out, knock 'em dead performance that would turn a chancy hire into a daring decision with a big payout at the end. Collins just seems so, well...

Can you point us to the average yards per completion or per attempt?

The NFL follows the NCAA it seems, except at least some in the NCAA will be creative. But the real innovation comes out of high schools these days, and neither the NCAA or NFL want to admit such things. And so most colleges run boring spreads and call for RPO or zone reads, which is really just...

I think our conventional defense going against our conventional offense might teach our defense how to defend our offense, should they ever play one another, and the way Collins is yapping, that might come in the ACC championship game. I question its usefulness in defending, say, Clemson's now...

They are on YouTube. Take a look. You will see his "fast-paced" and "exciting pro style offense" is, well, slant, curl, hook, start over. And very seriously, if Collins considered Temple's offense "fast paced" he is in for a rude awakening come next Aug. 29 when Clemson starts out to prove they...

Krusty the Clown might argue, but it is a great business model.
