    Said reporter then, was a reporter.

    Now, wait. I am pretty sure Ken doesn't care whether the coach is nice to him or not. Just deal with him professionally and I assume it will be reciprocated. But not taking the coach's word for something -- I wouldn't -- and going elsewhere is, it seems to me, basic, standard, journalism 101...

    I guess the point is that -- I don't think anyway -- that a reporter should be depending upon a bridge to any official source. Goodness, the ball coach has enough on his hands coaching a football team without trying to coach the media. (I know, I know. In Tuscaloosa the paper doesn't even print...

    You do realize, don't you, that getting information is the reporter's job, and he doesn't answer to Johnson? "Behind his back" may assign some sinister act, but getting information from somebody else is hardly devious. The Atlanta reporter is not, however devoutly he may wish it, on Johnson's team.

    Remember the astonishing revelation from Westmoreland's Vietnam body count, when it was added up to reveal more dead that were in the N. Viet army? That was one of the first two for certain.

    It's kind of explicable to me. Tell a recruit all you want to choose the school and not the coach watch his eyes glaze over. They choose coaches because that's who recruits them. Ideally they want the same coach at the end as in the recruiting year: 1 + 4 = 5. Certainly they prefer the same...

    I think the whole argument is kind of goofy, since he has his pilot's license for another five years. Ordinarily I am not a stickler for such things, leaving that to my friends from that technical institute downtown, but what is the "majority" you talk about? Two of three? Four of seven? Maybe...

    That is but the presumed inherent superiority of one position over another but unwilling to take a chance argues your position for you, thus proving it does not always take two to make this particular argument. Sometimes the ordinariness of me reaches astounding levels, thus raising mediocrity...

    Not having taken a survey I think it is safe to say that 80% of that 90% is pretty much wishful thinking.

    I love it when you guys talk dirty.

    I like under center better, but on the other hand I am not sure citing the NFL as a template is a good idea. Good players, bad game.
  12. The Gap... Johnson on 2017 and the Clemson/UGA gap

    I'm not privy to all those numbers, but I know applications have boomed and the last time I was on that campus construction was going on everywhere. That in spite of the usual Southern distaste for higher education, and legislatures have slashed operating budgets with no regard for learning...
  13. The Gap... Johnson on 2017 and the Clemson/UGA gap

    No argument from me. And maybe not even from them. They have seen what the program has done for their national profile and student interest/enrollment (out-of-state = lots more tuition) and so far are all in with it.
  14. The Gap... Johnson on 2017 and the Clemson/UGA gap

    They do hate the option, with good reason. And while the coaches will say they don't do anything differently to prepare for it, Venables will set aside a couple of days come August and the defense will work on nothing except the spread option. When we are running it right -- and we have had a...
  15. The Gap... Johnson on 2017 and the Clemson/UGA gap

    I am still waiting for the first actual proof that any of that exists, when in fact the only place it ever surfaces is on a rival's football message board, anonymously. We need to stop whining about made-up, want-to-believe accusations and start figuring out how to stay competitive. Watkins was...

    I believe Jefferson Davis asked Lee's opinion on this command, and Lee being Lee said that geez, he was a good division commander but he was just not certain beyond that and as a result, you are right, Hood destroyed an entire army, including 12 generals, in futile, frontal assaults on Thomas. A...

    Remember building the bridge ... over the Atlantic? Interview made difficult by sound of cars whizzing past at high speed ... and splashing.
