Ain't buying this one.

In the immortal words of my No. 2 son, the history professor, a town without a Waffle House is no town at all.

Innovator hell. He stole Johnson's offense, refused to call it an option because he thought it would hurt recruiting. Johnson took it with a kind of bemused detachment.

A football message board comes with an oversized, blinking, bright red panic button. It begs to be hit. We hit it. Otherwise, what to do with the time?

Apparently Satterfield is off the table; headed for that sewer in Louisville. Would you be surprised if Johnson wound up at Appalachian? I wouldn't. Don't expect it, but it would not surprise me.

Anyone who can go should make a point of telling everyone who will listen that you personally know Calvin Johnson and then go into details about his catch against Clemson. Doesn't have to be true. He is reportedly still a rock star in Detroit. Take advantage of it.

What if we tee it up and Johnson throws it 26 straight times or so for a matched set, runs once for variety, and chunks it some more? He would explain later that maybe he had misappreciated the pass all those years. Tell me that wouldn't be funny.

I hope we all keep in mind the Sun Bowl game against USC. Their players and their coaches and their fans spent a month whining and complaining about the bowl, about GT, about... well, about. I thought it was embarrassing for them, not to mention ungrateful -- at least they got a bowl. Let's not...

I mean he saw a scab and picked it. And you reacted. Game over.

You do recognize of course when you are being picked at?

Pretty insightful. I know there are programs that wonder why we haven't done better in Georgia, and one of the big factors in Fedora getting the boot at UNC was that he was losing the in-state recruiting wars to NC State, a big switch from past coaches. Georgia is a fertile recruiting ground.

Least: Until a worse one shows, Whisenhunt. The best? Elliott, who apparently has not been contacted, not a good sign. When you have an outside chance of getting one of the best coaches from one of the best programs already successful recruiting from your back yard, well ...

Somebody help me out here, somebody with more knowledge about such things: how much of a handicap will Tech be at if a head coach is not named by the Dec. 19 first signing date? Are our commitments just going to hold off until 2019 and see, or bail altogether? Or sign?

I dispute that we're arguing.

I got it. But the choice is kind of Nixonian, you know. He would say that "If I did X, Y or Z we would have had nuclear war, starvation, pestilence and disease. But I chose to do the responsible thing and just bomb them instead." And we would say, "Thank god for Richard Nixon!" But seriously...

On target if a bit harsh, but it is the basis of a solid "aginner" base. I hope Whisenhunt is a red herring, thrown out for distraction and the interview a courtesy. (Surely Whisenhunt is not taking himself seriously as a major college coach, right? I mean, didn't he go to Tech?) But as an...

Is Collins the guy who left the Mississippi State defense to Johnson's hardly tender mercies in the Orange Bowl? And would jump after two years? Just asking, because as Bear Bryant once said of one of his former players who hurried from job to job, "That boy ain't running to get ahead. He's high...

Well, this about that: a Whisenhunt hire would unite the fan base. Everybody toward the exits.

I am all for free enterprise and free market and capitalism and all that. He ought to spend his money the way he wants. But I have always been puzzled by such circumstances, that a fellow makes $8 million a year minimum, way minimum I suspect ... and is building a house to sell on spec. I am...

He also has a house in Florida. these days football coaches buy houses. Everywhere. Up to the tax deduction.
