Actually, some of his scheme adjustments to the perimiter blocking are confusing; it's why we frequently saw three GT blockers and two defenders at the edge but one of the defenders running free to the ball. As for "some new package" for Clemson, I gotta tell you I am all in on that one. Now, what?

No question that he is a superior D coordinator and recruiter. All his D linemen are athletes. But: when your interior defenders are mauling -- the police blotter would read criminal assault -- opposing guards and center with remarkable quickness at any size, thus allowing your LBs to skate to...

"Pretty good"?

Venables has a linebacker son committed to Clemson in '18; he and Swinney, whose son Will is a freshman WR and holder for points and FBs, have talked about the satisfaction of winning a NC with their sons at Clemson. He makes a million and a half after getting the shaft at Oklahoma, Swinney...

Well, okay. If one taints all, okay. But consider ... and ten let's call it a day. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndga/pr/former-georgia-tech-employees-charged-fraud

Sorry, just picking at you, but: you seem to prefer fake classes, which students don't tale, to phony degrees, which students don't earn. If there is a distinction I fail to see it.

Would not defend it for a second. Never have. But to go on a rant and say no graduate will ever be hired again at your company is, well, ranting. Destroying the village to save it so to speak. We might be surprised at how few undergraduate students at major universities ever attend a major...

Well, you have seen a couple of reactions that might show you what action you don't want to take.

Ditto to 85Escape. That's some pretty juvenile foot-stomping for such purportedly high management. Next, set your hair on fire. One of the great rules of management is that when you write such an intemperate memo as the two cited, sit on it overnight. You'll be surprised how often you tear it...

That is beyond silly and sub-juvenile. What the athletes got or didn't get had nothing to do with the student enrollment at a school with a top faculty, top endowment, widely regarded as a research institution, and still despite the yahoo legislature struggling to keep its costs competitive. I...

The NCAA is now officially the world's largest eunuch. Reliable sources say in addition to saying UNC was absolutely blameless in all respects, the NCAA issued a written apology for even bothering them. UNC is pondering the punishment it will levy on the eunuch in the room.

Jeff Monken's phone has caller ID and I betcha he would answer an Oregon State call. And I betcha the Pac 12 after the usual hee-hawing and tsk-tsking would rush to the film room and start looking for defensive coaches who have coached against it. Followed by devoting three days in the spring to...

My head hurts.

Wow. You didn't get your roughage today? Actually, it is fair to equate Oregon St. and Tech before Johnson. What the story gets wrong, wrong, wrong is the Dodd era shining "before the Korean War." The opposite is true. During and after the Korean War Tech won six straight major bowl games...

I vant to be left alone.

I am not sure how you leaped over that chasm. What I am challenging are the sometimes odd and often wildly extravagant expectations of fans, particularly on football message boards. who seem determined to be disappointed if a magic 400 number isn't met. The goal still is to win, and sometimes...

"Only"? What we are seeing is inflated expectations. We aren't gonna get 350 every game against all comers. The guys across the line are there on scholarship, too.

There is a seeming contradiction between your first and last sentences. Hard to focus on something too much when that something has cost a game already. Fumbles often are two-score flips and demand attention. Johnson has noted it and the fix has started,

What happened to the Paul Johnson who once famously said, when someone tried to excuse fumbles because of the offense, "There is no excuse for fumbles."? Is this guy going soft?

The good news is that this has been a very good late season program, particularly strong in November. The bad news is the schedule matches it though. But let's put it on the tee and find out who wins. I feel good that offensively this team can win running Johnson's base offense only if...
