Olson Johnson, "Blazing Saddles": "Now who could argue with that?

It has been my considerable experience that in order to get wealth one must make wealth first. (Exceptions granted. We have a president who was handed $200 million and thinks he earned it, but that aside, it takes money to make money. In order to put your money in the bank, you must have the...

Sorry, but I am not into Koolaid. That number is patently ridiculous. Really. Every fifth grad is a millionaire but the mid-career average is only $112,000? As for the "average", then $90,000 starting and $30,000 starting will get you there. A whole bunch of graduates must be way below that so I...

I am unclear on the term "short area footwork". Meaning movement in confined space? Got to ask you fellows to consider slow learners on the board.

Certainly Mills would be so considered, right? If that kid's head is facing front all year and he isn' dinged up, he should have a big, breakout year. It would not surprise me to see more production from him and that position that in any year of the Johnson tenure.

If we're going to get Clemson this would be the best year for it. Not saying we couldn't do it otherwise, but this is the best time. Their defense, though, is going to be first rate again with a better linebacking corps and an outstanding D line. (They are one of the teams that practice against...

Eliminate the class guys like Richt and Swinney who don't have time for this stuff and will play it as it lies, discard the ones who haven't played us like Petrino or Doeren from State (what, once?) Wake Forest, Syracuse and then have fun winnowing the field. I don't think it's Cutcliffe as he...

I agree with your last observation. I have always wondered because the receivers I saw open didn't just have a step or two on the D back. They were down in Macon, alone, waving for the ball when we threw to a receiver down a sideline. I concluded finally -- only took me nine years -- that the QB...

Okay. I was funning some. But I suspect your D would result in some powerfully long touchdown passes once Johnson get'sthem one-up down the field. His eyes would be spinning like a psychedelic kaleidoscope.

Saw what you did there.

I never knew until reading the first Tennessee posting and this one just how easy it is to beat us. Nine in the box and keep the receivers in front of you. Just surprised Johnson never prepared for this. Does he have an email address?

All true. They are all -- Bayless, Stephen Smith, O'Reilly, Coulter, Limbaugh, and yes, an equal number on the left, some are just better at it than others -- are not paid by the former template of the content of their commentary -- how informative or intelligent are they, or what do they add...

Well, he just did. As to the important issue, I figured they cut Johnson's career short when they turned him into an over-the-middle possession receiver the last 2-3 years he played. When combined with Stafford's willingness to expose that long extended body to lights-out hits from safeties and...

Doesn't say much for his coaching skills, does it? The fox that cannot reach the grapes says they are not ripe and all that stuff. But what the heck. I was not very excited about playing Iowa or LSU after about three quarters.

No. No coach ever got fired because his NC team had a bad graduation rate. We might like to talk about that, but Al Davis had it right. Doesn't have to be right, it just is.

Swinney is actually a very good wide receiver coach, A good but not great one at Alabama, a walk-on, he seems the fairly typical guy who succeeded with work and allegiance to the fundamentals of the position, and because of that, can coach it. (Williams was a great hitter, lousy manager.) The...

It is not that we love him too much, but that you love him too less. Why should he be limited by the vagueness and unpredictability of probabilities? I mean, somebody eventually lines up six numbers or so to win a million bucks. I just want him to go in there and give it everything he's got and...

Even were the answer zero, of what profit is it to step on dreams? Unless reach exceeds grasp we would remain in the hills, slathering murals on cave walls. It might require every ounce of his ability on every play, but so what? If his want equals his ambition, then it could be. I think...

I ain't taking sides. But this, dammit, is funny.

Given the Texas sidestep shuffle of NFL contracts, I gather that means he can't go anywhere but they can cut him at any time with no obligation. Anybody know?
