I doubt very much that he will have "2 or 3 years" to fix the defense. If this is a 5-6 win year after a disappointing 2017 season that followed a good 2016 season, that followed a truly awful 2015 season, and it was accomplished with a veteran QB in an option offense, there would be no reason...

Long winded cuss, ain't you?

I particularly enjoyed that Clemson-Miami game. A Miami fan writing on this board indicated he stood in no fear of the Clemson secondary and figured their passing game would have a very good day. In the first place that secondary was better than advertised, but played second fiddle all year to a...

Long ago and far away I went to a couple of Duke games. That was before they became somewhat competitive. (Sorry, I am not a Duke fan. In anything. Well, no. Its health system is good.) But then this little gem of a place with 33,000 seats or so, none at all in one end zone, locker rooms for the...

'As few as" four wins is a long way from predicting only four wins. One could probably pick any schedule in the country and come up with that line. That being said, if Tech wins just four games in 2018, the new AD will be looking for a new HC. I still think we can win nine, including a bowl...

I dunno. I have been there a couple of times, and had a great time sitting at the 50 on the Duke sideline, In the shade. That was before they won a few and I doubt you could buy single tickets there now. I do think the parking is bad. But Clemson rates right up there in my limited visits there...

FSU should be very good, and if Miami regresses to their mean, then they will be pretty good. But Richt seems to carry with him his own barrier that he can coach up to but not beyond. I agree Clemson should be the class of the conference, again, and apparently there is no end in sight. They...

Today's Master of the Understatement

Good research. Or memory. If memory you worry me. But in other words, if you can play sometimes they won't find you. Wasn't Johnny Unitas in kind of the same category?

No argument. At the same time, though, I wonder: was Kurt Warner the only Kurt Warner nobody knew about? Or about whom everything they "knew" was wrong? (Okay, that's it. My nuclear option. I got nothing else. I admit it. But it is a pretty good one.)

It was intended as a more whimsical approach than factual. But seriously, there might be dozens of NFL talents who played at Defiance or Bluffton or Kalamazoo Teachers Aide State University. How do we know differently? How does one prove a negative? But on a serious note, I have always thought...

I have both a philosophical and ethical objection to almost anything Florida. What I don't have is a rational objection. But doggone it, it is a sorry state.

I know people say that, and I know people -- including Paul Johnson -- believe that. But I am curious: how do we know that? It might just be an urban legend. Recruits have to be told something, after all. (I remember a story about Lefty Driesell recruiting Moses Malone in HS. Malone was ready to...

I'd like to mix in Auburn or Tennessee or LSU -- no, not every year; maybe one of them -- and look to midwest and east for a game: Michigan or Penn State for example. Easy for me to say it, hard for anybody get it done, but I can dream.

I do believe takethepoints actually used a point, and I can relate somewhat to it but in an odd way: I subscribe to Amazon Prime and Netflix. Both still cheap with lots of movies as well as some interesting programming from England and Australia. (In English, in other words, don't need CC.) But...

Now, I do not know whether this is true. I do not believe it is. It would be insane since any recruit wants to talk to current players, and being told he couldn't would send him fleeing off campus, as it should. But if you think it is true, I sure would like to see your source and/or evidence...

Couldn't block well enough to play for Tech now? In the first place he actually did block, and in the second, Johnson was the once-in-a-lifetime recruit you'd go after if it cost you every other receiver in the class and all of them on your current roster. That'd be like having Ruth, Gehrig...

It leads us to speculate on a Tech man's simple arithmatic skills: 2006 from 2008 = Johnson gone two years by the time Johnson was hired.

And this would surprise you, why?

What comes to mind with such references is how great those rivalries across the SEC were. I mean really, stone serious rivalries. And in the days before cable TV, ESPN, the internet, the radio and Sunday's newspaper were the conduits for scores. I recall some radio going by regions and giving...
