http://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article191569154.html Maybe we should have just kicked field goals every time we got inside the 50? The kid is having a lights out year with a very good team; the best of both worlds.

Well, yes. Born as an unwanted child by the Army and Navy, for the same and different reasons. The Army wanted full control of air support for infantry -- and that makes all the sense in the world -- and of course, that budget money being siphoned off. The Navy wanted the cash for carriers, so...

It's an overstatement but Clemson literally went the other way: a defense that let them run their offense. Swinney and his DC -- Steele I think it was -- parted ways over Steele's objection to Swinney's desire to run plays as quickly as possible, maybe 100 a game. Said it did not give his...

It's not clear to me why he could run a 3-4 at ASU but not at Tech. And the guy would be a fool to come if he couldn't run his defensive scheme, right? Kind of inviting failure. If the guy is good then he should also be confident. Confident enough to tell anybody dictating his defense to him to...

What? Kelly as DC? .... I'm just picking at you. Might be worth a try though.

Can't speak for anyone else, but the only dad I would want coaching me would be Albert Einstein or such. I just can't imagine taking it home every single night and your coach is staring at you. I had enough trouble reliving the whole practice myself. But I see Swinney and Venables are doing it...

New Zealand's Haka is more intimidating, but this one is a close second. Better than any "motivational" speech can be. Flipping through some of the Youtube clips I saw a poster in the background that breaks me up: "Navy shoots blanks". Monken and Niumatalolo go back a long way together with...

Was that Chris Carter?

I suspect that if Johnson goes into 2018 with nobody able to displace Marshall we should get ready for some Army-Navy football: a lot less triple option, a lot more midlne (Josh Nesbitt style) and a bunch more QB run calls. The good news is that we would pass twice as much as Army. Well, if a...

Continuing my fruitless campaign to make him coach of the year -- I'm gonna get up and fight some more -- consider what Monken walked into and what he accomplished. Before Monken, Army had won just one game this century, had lost 14 straight, and suffered some embarrassing blowouts in a supposed...

I feel pretty sure Roof could cough it up, but I doubt he would want his son to lose a year's playing time. One gets only four years, he ha used one, and time moves along. I think he will stay and that Roof will tell him to stay. The kicker might be any lingering animosity for the departure...

That was because of the puffing adder sideline scowl he adopted to scare assistants away before they could ask a football question. Wait until Pruitt discovers he has to get all his football players from other states.

I know this is supposed to be fun and all that, but once again folks who know next to nothing about position skills -- don't take it personally; we don't and guys who do it for a living every day struggle to get it right -- want to put a team together. I know nothing of Woody, at all, and just...

Well, I am not really prepared to do that -- shoot you, I mean -- just to point out those days of playing those old SEC rivals were in our SEC days. Coach Dodd put an end to all that, and there is no going back. They don't want us, they don't need us. (And no, Atlanta is not enough to sell...

As the chief justice properly said, taxes are what we pay for a civilized society. I have often wondered: if one could direct his taxes, and chose not to support law enforcement, would they be obligated to provide police protection? Same for roads, etc. That would be a fine mess we got us into...

This is so wrong in so many ways, where to start? What is this "new philosophy" of "playing only teams you can beat?" What in the world? Where you on another planet this fall? We had to play eight conference games. I am pretty sure it is like a rule or something, and we don't select them. Of the...

Unfortunate at how some of the military whines.

So leave the ACC and play Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri, Florida? Somebody shock my heart back into sync. Why, I might drive down the block to see some of those also-rans. Doesn't the ACC hold the head-to-head edge anyway?

Orwin Smith is in my mind the best with the rocket toss that we have seen at Tech. He didn't seem to have overwhelming speed, but as with this one, if the playside Aback gets and holds his block, there was always a chance. We haven't run it worth a flip since, even with what we assumed to be...

I'm glad he landed near home and the parting was amicable and agreeable. Unfortunately for him, he also landed with the biggest whiner and complainer in the ACC. Doeren most days can't even imitate a grown man. After five years with Johnson Roof now has to learn to make excuses, because Doeren will.
