In case nobody is watching the news, reading the papers, tweeting, twittering or whatever else is going on, this business of sexual assault is big news and serious business, beginning in the White House and spreading like a water stain. Any mother or father can reasonably be expected to question...

Found this in the LA Times regarding Chip Kelly's return to college football and his recruiting philosophy. Most will recognize it. Moreover, some on the board have made that last point: A name program makes an offer and the star-rating explodes on a recruit. "It's a typical Chip Kelly class...

Miami may be a bit overrated, and certainly got exposed in the ACC championship game. But doggone, there are teams in there of late that have given us fits" Miami, VT, Duke and UNC. (Interesting to watch the Fedora Watch at UNC. He might be on his or-else year.) I think we have to win Duke and...

Boston is an Irish town and in your face with its sports teams. Philadelphia is much the same. But news and sports are good at what they do and lord knows given what is happening we don't have enough of them left.

Is Lebatard that ESPN guy who thinks good journalism is asking his daddy?

I looked at the Herald and Glove in game coverage and Mason is not being singled out. No reason to.

Wow. Where is all that anger coming from?

Well, as some of my conservative friends are fond of saying to me, freedom has its price. The NCAA is there for that, if they will do their job, and taking 25% of eligibility away is nothing less than a direct attack on at at least two of the Bill of Rights. Maybe, if what amounts sitting out a...

I give 'em 20 minutes into the spring game.

I do have a question regarding the coaches: can someone itemize the new hires vs. those who have left? I must have been in a cave when some of these names came up.

I'm not one of those time of possession guys, unless we're killing the clock in the final minutes. But we have seen enough to know that the offense can and often does chew up seven minutes or more to score, and then we give it back in 2-3 minutes. How I want the offense to complement the defense...

Ain't life grand? The guy is a surprise transfer, may have to sit a year, and the board already checks in on what position he should play. I say make the coaches earn their pay.

I hope he sues the NCAA and wins their houses, cars, IRAs, expense accounts, cell phones, laptops, frequent flyer miles, bass boats and yo-yos. There is no defensible reason, none, to strip a kid of one of his four years of playing time because one day he decides he made a mistake when he was...

This seems a reasoned approach, and it raises a similar question for GT: is our new DC in for his own sticker shock in the ACC? I appreciate Appalachian State's reputation and schedule, but is moving up into a Power 5 slot going to be a question mark even for a guy with a strong reputation and...

Well, it is a new theory of competing I suppose.

It has never gained enough momentum to become a movement, but it looks like giving some of our college athletes the same freedom of movement we give their recruiting coaches is picking up some bit of steam. Not much, and it won't get very far this time around. Eventually, though, enough people...

Reading some of these horror stories from various classes and disciplines makes it sound like an institute to me.

I am really anticipating the spring and mostly August, to see what defense the guy installs. It is unfair to previous DCs to be so dismissive, and I know it, but it just seems to me we have been employing a prevent defense for 10 years. As long as it is aggressive and enthusiastic, I don't care...

The coaches evaluating those recruits are as a rule very good at what they do, and they do it all year round. It is not uncommon now to see a kid list a dozen or more "offers" and a careful reading of them shows every major conference represented to the same degree: two from ACC, two from SEC...
