Lots of mystery at Navy, and already some objections to the offense if Coach N finally pulls up stakes. this is an earlier story and a later one reports he was in Arizona interviewing. Follow to the end when the QB is not happy...

If I don't I have been sleeping under a manhole cover. But the fact remains: Johnson historically wins by just running over people on offense. All the rest has been piffle. He doesn't do the one any more, and still can't do the other. So ...

Obviously I was obtuse, a word that needs a lot more exposure. No, I don't want him to give up running. But he had two backs get more than 1,000 yards in '17, the best year rushing of the last three, and we won five times. Some guys want passing. I just want more options and that sometimes...

It is one of the best and a good get. Some of the recruiting difficulties get into focus. But I do have a question: when the piece dwells on the smart players recruited by Gailey in '07 -- Dwyer, Burnett, Morgan, Thomas and Nesbitt -- does anyone know how many of them actually have a degree 10...

My head always spins when I read or hear about someone who "won the Purple Heart ..." Those whom I know, probably much like your grandfather, never considered getting shot "winning". (Which is part of the present disengagement of civilian and military: a lot of folks don't even know what a...

Well, fair comparison.

I agree with the Marshall reference, unless -- unless -- Johnson gives up on the idea he can run an option offense and throw a bit, and goes all in with the Navy/Army model: Marshall keeps it and runs a series of plays with that intention.. It is the one thing he does well as a QB. It will be a...

And don't call me Shirley ...

And that, my friend, is why we should worry about whose finger is on the nuclear trigger. MAD only works when sanity reigns on all sides. But now, well.

I think that in another time you could have a keen debate on that, but it is harder when today only 1% of the American population will ever serve in the military -- but I don't want to get started on the volunteer army -- and there is so few public service avenues that hardly any of us have...

Before I moved I had lunch about once a month with a WWII B17 pilot, then 90, actually completed 25 missions over Germany, had a couple of planes shot to pieces but never lost a crewman, and viewed it like this: "Anybody who flew through that and came back was just lucky. All you could do was...

No, later. In fact I object to the term though it was a great marketing device. But you know, the guys in the American Revolution were pretty good, as well as those at Gettysburg, and France in WWI, and Korea and Vietnam did their duty. I sure wouldn't pick one as the greatest. I just don't get...

Depends on which half. In HS I did kick off once. Once. The coach used everything except the shepherd's crook to get me out of there.

The Godfather got it right: how did we ever come to this? When did so many of us begin to believe that today's recruits, mostly 18, are so soft and frilly, Pillsbury Doughboys who seek, who demand, kid gloves and that loving feeling when asked to play a sport that hits people in the mouth...

You probably would be surprised.

You know what? Imagine for a moment that Johnson runs the read option from the shotgun. He has no A backs or B backs but running backs and fullbacks. And that guy there at the end of the line is a real tight end, 240 pounds of blocking. Imagine further that his career mark at Georgia Tech is...

Well, there is fired, and there is fired. When I saw he was leaving, then read the Raleigh newspaper's account of his GT accomplishments, which were really a resume stretch it added up to fired, but you can say you left so long as you do it quickly enough a replacement can be hired. And thus it...

Well, make sure we tell him that one of six GT grads is a millionaire and average starting salary is $60,000, and that will do the trick. Yeah, I know this is smarmy, but it's pretty clear that approach isn't working.

I've read the board. Let us know how this turns out for you.
