I hate to admit I never heard of this award, but that doesn't mean anything since I don't believe there has been a college center worth a flip since Don Stephenson. I did see that the returning Clemson center was nominated.

i was just picking at you. but if you were an officer that explains everything!

It is said that experienced writers are stingy with capitals, but you are a miser.

This seems to acknowledge what others have said about recruiting on defense. Tech is not going to get the big, fast D lineman filling the ranks at Clemson, Alabama or Georgia, maybe FSU. So a defense, as with offense, has to fit the personnel available for it. Not sure a lot of the fan base want...

Well, so much for all my wasted years. Maybe Clemson will take me.

We had that defense once before and it didn't fit. Then it did not succeed because we didn't have that man-eating hulk of a nose guard. Now it will succeed because we don't have that man-eating hulk of a nose guard. But we do have a 197 pound linebacker. Before it was not simple. Now it is...

Yes, she is. Her obituary says Tech should pass more.

Are you sure?

I was out of the state too soon, it seems. With that association I can imagine the apoplexy greeting that one.

Good get. Thanks. The name James Gray leaped off the page, publisher of the Albany Herald, voice and leader of the last bitter holdouts for segregation, effects of which are still being felt in that area. They did not, and do not I gather, go quietly.

Hummin is what his daddy called him. Herman was a playboy all his life and a drunk most of it, including some sessions of the Senate Watergate Committee, when one member said he was the smartest on the committee, handicapped by being the drunkest. When Eugene was governor, the story is, the AJC...

I must be but I see you recognize it. For the uninitiated who think politics were never as rigged as now, that system was passed by a rural legislature and said that the popular vote leader of the race in a county was credited with a unit, one county. And the one with the most counties won...

Old enough to remember the unit rule vote that allowed rural Georgia to dominate the state's governorship for decades. How do you think Eugene and Hummin Talmadge got elected?

Yes, you are.

It's beating dead horses -- I sure wouldn't beat a live one, having once long ago been kicked by a very ornery beast, luckily a glancing blow -- But this is another example of the coaches profiting off the players' efforts. Give them the money. They did it. But mainly I'm just down on the whole...

It is Lake Woebegon and all the kids are average. (One problem I have is paying a bonus for a good score. I thought that was what the coaching salary is for, though how a coach can improve that score baffles me.)

Now you done opened that door, but you are right nonetheless.

That looks remarkably like a picture I have on the wall. In season tobacco was strung under the shelter; otherwise, plows, rakes, etc. were stored under there. Per your furniture from cages, the most remarkable counter top I ever saw -- priceless almost -- was made from the wood strips that...

From that tobacco field looking out was not so bucolic and no warm fuzzies attached. Tobacco croppers were covered in black tar and nicotine and squishy remains of juicy green tobacco worms, crushed as those leaves were snapped off for the tobacco sled. Row after row, hour after hour, joining...
