My Bowling Green State U wife is upset and enraged that arch enemy Toledo gets credit for Urban Meyer. She hates Toledo more than you folks hate Georgia. Shame.

Your percentages may be right. If you reversed them. These kids are 18 and buy into the coach who recruits them. We all would in the same circumstances. (I just read that Clemson picked off a 5-star late after he was assured Venables was going to stay as DC at Clemson and they had a stable...

You lost me. of course they work for the school. On paper, anyway. A few years ago Ohio State admitted its president worked for the football coach. Not sure of your "athletic administration" meaning. All of that is university administration.

could anybody?

What is this "bashing" nonsense? My observations about Lee are that he could not play at the Division 1 level and excelled when he went down in class. Lots of players do, and it is good they recognize it early enough to take advantage of it. Lee couldn't play under center and didn't take...

Good get, but you know the key verb there. I still remember the guy from several years ago who claimed offers from every major university in North America. Came signing day and turned none of them ever heard of him.

I can't dispute what you say though my recollection from those days is the opposite: lee hung out wanting an offer, and Cutcliffe never came through. Else, Lee would have stayed at home (Durham) for Duke.

You know, every football coach, every AD Tech has hired sings the same academic song. It is, as they say, in the book. Look it up: academics already are sold as a recruiting plus, so I am not sure where this "new" idea originated. (See countless recruit comments about the sales tactic to their...

If youo think hiring Johnson was a Braine "mistake", you not only should stop donating but demand your money back. Makes as much sense as what you just wrote.

Ah, he sounds like the junior high kid who went home to tell mommy the coach didn't like him and that's why he never got in a game. That's just a feeling-sorry-for-yourself alibi. He'd have been a lot better off to shut up and play.

Lee had his chance. He got the shotgun offense he wanted. He played no better. He played better when he played down a league, and in that regard it worked out for him. He played well at his level. As I said before, if he could have played QB Cutcliffe would have been all over him because he...

It's not a sure thing that Marshall would have replaced Mills, either. Marshall didn't always do the heavy lifting the position required -- blocking, hitting the hole every play knowing he would get popped by a LB or big ugly. And of course, not fumbling. I hope things can work out for Mills...

I have a lot of those strong feelings after the fact, in fact an uncanny ability to predict every success and failure afterwards. Be that as it may, I'm glad Marshall does well in Double A ball. Too bad he was not willing to compete for a big league job. Apparently it is the Vad Lee template.

Yeah, but can they play Nashville? But good for her.

Your problem, among others is, and I hope it is not a Tech problem, the math of the thing. 15 players will get you a basketball team with depth -- you hope -- 15 football players gets you less than a fifth of what you need to play football with the big boys. Moreover, accepting the anecdotal...

I never intended to suggest otherwise. I saw something somewhere way back when that she was singing in Europe, I think? Got to be pretty good because those foreigners know more about opera than we do.

There was once a very wealthy North Carolina heir to paper and timber fortunes -- hundreds of thousands of acres of North Carolina timber land and all sorts of paper products -- whose wife was a very good pianist. Her problem was that she was not "gifted", but just real good. Her husband would...

Last I heard of Rodgers was years ago from a weekly Washington condo poker game which he apparently told with some regularity how good he was.

Not the other two maybe, but Dodd along with Eddie LeBaron at the College of the Pacific, invented the triple option. This board however would hate Lombardi and want him fired. We complain Johnson has only half a dozen. Lombardi had one. The power sweep left, power sweep right. Playside tackle...

All kidding aside, I think that is a remarkable thing, for a football coach to have an operatic daughter. Must be the mother coming out. Is she going to Indiana?
