Not dropping names because it was in an entirely different context, but I was at a three-day seminar with Jerry Stovall right after he was fired by LSU and was doing essentially PR for a Baton Rouge bank. But he said almost exactly that: "You look across the field and see him on the sideline...

That's a excellent point for sure. Shoot, if this keeps up, football is going to join baseball -- what business does a college team have playing 40 or 50 games a year? --and college basketball, and rival the NBA for seasons that last forever. Ah, for the days when football started in September...

At the risk of igniting a fire storm from Doddophiles, which is not my intent, as from all I have read or heard Bobby Dodd was as good a coach and man as ever worked the sidelines. (Though he seemed to sit an awful lot, right?) Rather it is to suggest that when coaches, and it is always Paul...

It was said of Ginger Rogers. when critics raved about Fred Astaire's dancing, that she did everything that he did, but backwards and in heels.

It seems to me that over the years I have been following Johnson at GT -- which is all of them -- he has signed several QBs that at least were promising enough to warrant a scholarship but for whatever reason did not work out. He just signed another to a PWO status, which is a different kind of...

There is all that, but I kinda think the mother has it harder.

There is no substitute for the voice of experience.

Hurry, football.

You know what? I already lost my bet, which was that 50 years from now in the first paragraph of Butker's obit, it would have made note of the man who made two career kicks against the U of Georgia back in the day, and a moment of silence would have been observed at thousands of breakfast tables...

Based on one game only -- against GT -- he was in fact one lost puppy on that sideline. Must be a trip when Georgia plays Kentucky & Stoops. For a long time Clemson used its weight coach to restrain Venables from walking all the way out to midfield to coach 'em up, and might still, but those two...

I think, but I'm not sure, that the technical answer is that the shortest field goal would be 18 yards. Since (last I heard anyway) stats are kept to a yard line and not half yards or so (3rd and inches is still 3rd and one) then the ball would be considered at the one-yard line, then 10 yards...

Garo Yapremian did a version of the Backwards 40 in Super Bowl seven, I think.

I am almost embarrassed for them.

Okay. But why exactly? We don't want to know or we don't want to see what we know? Really, the incident was on television . I wasn't aware of it but I am more disappointed that somebody did not question the head ball coach about that. Or with photographic evidence, take it to the league. it's...

Wow. This sounds to me an awful much like Dodd supposedly objected to with Alabama and the SEC 60 years ago or whenever: in essence oversigning and then cutting. Oh, well. Maybe there is something to this tough love business. Profit, anyway,

That was bad and one hopes never to see somebody going after the knee. Good get, though. Thanks.

I had forgotten the alligator arms reference.

Well, okay. But surely by now he knows the difference in chop and cut blocking?

I didn't know that but I remember seeing that classic Tittle on his knees sans helmet and his head bleeding from such a hit.

Agree of course. But it seems to be a very large part of our game at inopportune times. But maybe I cannot get past my Stephen Hill flashbacks.
