Well, take a look at this. Now I am not particularly a reader of or believer in polls -- political or sports -- because they are just subjective opinions that will change in the morning. Excepting, of course, my longtime and unfortunately unrequited crush on Kim Basinger but that is another...

Sometimes his compliments are in the form of "When he wasn't getting his head handed to him he did okay." You have to toughen up to play for Johnson.

I don't do x and o, though I envy those who can. But what I know I saw in the Vanderbilt and BC game was a Justin Thomas who wanted to be on the field. I did not get that impression much last season. That is a terrific attitude to impart to teammates, and it really sucks when your QB doesn't...

Um, no. I was getting a the BYU advantage of lining up 14-25 year old grown men back from two years of mission and playing 19-year-olds. I have no idea, I just know that age is a terrific advantage, all things being equal. I mean, if they can play.

I certainly hope this one has a full range of experience and does not sign on short-term for GT to get "football" on his resume before sprinting out of town ... to a mediocre football school.

Could it be he came back to earth giving up his 25-year-olds?

Notre Dame is always -- and I mean always - in the discussion if they were returning three turtledoves and some french hens on the D line. This year pre-season, they were in the discussion. After the first game, they could still qualify for the playoffs. After the second game, out of the top 25...

Or it could cost him a step in speed or a hitch in quickness. At 5-10, if that is correct, his weight would seem about right to me.

If my memory is right, that is the third time Tech has used that play to open a game, and they have scored on it every time. Once was Middle Tennessee State when Johnson slipped in that speedster A back as B back, and he outran the middle linebacker for a TD. I can't remember the second, but...

This just in: there is now some doubt that Vanderbilt will beat Georgia Tech. And while there are nine games out there yet, I personally have no doubt that Johnson meant it when he said he wouldn't go through a season like 2015 again. (And this year runners and blockers go in the same direction.)

Yes to both. I had to look twice at the FSU score, and feel badly for Charles Kelly who had more than he could handle today with those thugs. Well, the coach is anyway.

Hey, several players remained seated during the only anthem in college football worth singing, and a QB got in trouble for that earlier ...

As Basil Fawlty put it, a triumph of the bleeding obvious. Clemson is literally the biggest test on anybody's schedule now, and there is a reason they made SC State the front game to Thursday. Now we are in for several days -- just guessing here -- of pundits, fans and Clemson coaches talking...

You just like the writing, right?

Only a guy sitting safely in a TV studio would say something that dumb. I wonder if based on Finebaum none of the Vandy fans have a doubt today. I have really come to hate, and I mean almost literally, what babble TV has done to discourse, from that drooling Stephen A. Smith to Finebaum...

Yes, there is just too much traffic in there, particularly with our inconsistent and often awful blocking -- I really hope based on two weeks we really are better at it.

Okay, but let me suggest you do not show the wife this post: it's terrible stuff for quality time. I have to get a second mortgage to buy that Direct TV "season ticket" for the NFL because my wife is a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan and must see every game, in all their misery. The result is to...

I wonder if I am the only one who feels somewhat embarrassed for him. None of my business obviously, but it remains a remarkable thing that once in the spotlight, the stars cannot let it go.

Wasn't it less than a year ago when Johnson was critical of him for not pitching it? Or have I reversed it?

The only network worse in this instance would be MLB. Trying to watch major league baseball on that channel is dodging visual landmines: flashing, jarring, teenage graphics, headlines and advertising across the bottom, schedules and advertising to the right, and tucked in the left corner, maybe...
