I guess I never saw him 30 yards open. I have seen a couple of wide receivers 30 yards open, but apparenty I was the only one because he never got the ball. Lynch made tough yards on hard runs. There were no gimmes when he hit the edge.

Well, that stings.

Actually I was trying to be facitious, as I am weary of hearing about the offense. The count ranges from "5 or 6" to "10 or 12" on the high side. (A friend whined about the Orange Bowl in '15 that "All you guys did was run the same play over and over." I almost bit but what the hell. If 450...

You and I were watching different Lynches.

How deceptive can we be? We have only six or seven plays. Everybody says so. Apparently the difficulty is in knowing when we will run one of those plays.

It makes no difference if at the end of the day the kid isn't going to play, or will not play much. I don't blame any player who scouts the landscape, sees a very limited role for himself, knows he may spend three years at the end of the bench ... and leaves. Why should we? He will have thrown...

I hope tomorrow is better for you.

My use is in the sense that we have no choice, do we? If the No. 2 guy leaves and No. 1 is hurt, we need the next man. But yes, Clemson is now 2-3 deep deep in most places and I see it is recruiting almost natonwide. (That's from the tweets by prospects, if they can be believed.)

These kids go all the time, at every program. We know very little about those situations but some see Tech losing players and conclude it is the coach or the coaching staff. Almost every time it is playing time, when the kid recognizes that while he was highly recruited, the guy ahead of him...

If this were a "standard" offense and used a tailback in addition to a fullback, it would be a breakout, NFL-look year for Cottrell. He has everything the other two up top have, and size to boot. He might be the first A back with 4-5 carries a game winding up with a career in the NFL.

I have to say -- and add nothing to the conversation -- after reading these exchanges about Jackson, Williams, Sharpton, et al -- I am surprised that none of it is accompanied by anger, incivility or demonizing, all characteristics that dominate our social and public landscape today. Give...

You are on the money with recruiting. The stuff going on ranges from the shocking -- Louisville, which by all rights should have gotten the death penalty for its basketball program -- to the mundane, those silly "incidental contacts" that are mostly self-reported. It has gotten to the point that...

Well see, there you go. I stipulated major.

He doesn't "seem to". He does. He said it and says it every chance he gets. If he favored passing over running he would run 15 times and throw 60. I am not clear how there could be any doubt. It is option football. (And he has said more than once if he needed 4 or 5 yards he could get that...

I am going to take this as hyperbole that didn't quite come out right. If it took him 10 years to hit stride, then ...

I do recall one time he was asked about subs, and he said often it was whoever was standing next to him.

Every year dozens of kickers are signed as PWO or sometimes scholarshipped. Every year dozens of them line it up in a stadium that holds 50-60,000 with 11 angry guys with muscles like tree trunks flying at them intending serious bodily harm, and every year it plops at the 12 yard line. The case...

If he was the first black QB in a major Southern football program that at the time was, as they say, storied, then he had more pressure than 90% of us ever experienced, so give the guy some windage. GT was still living, faintly, in the righteousness of being the first major southern (white)...

If they weren't they'd be 7th.

It seems always to be the same rationalizations, mixing in a couple of snarky observations about "others". No question there are any number of things that need to be fixed, improved, instituted, whatever. But you can end any kind of "university" argument with a question: if GT is a university...
