To me that was the significant point in the collapse last season. All that momentum, internal in the program and external with the fans, built on the Orange Bowl blowout and double digit wins was lost. Now we start from scratch and the truth has to be acknowledged: if there are doubters then...

It is one of the fuzzy-thinking guys in a green eyeshade working with a pencil nub and hunting work. Just makes no sense atall.

I believe that is called cutting to the chase...

Well, there you go. Reason enough for a Clemson fan to want him fired.

From Sports on Earth which had some sort of top 100 football coaches of all time, ever and always, Tech's Bobby Dodd is rated No; 33. Though there are a number of coaches above him whose clock he rewound with some regularity. Interesting, anyway, particularly for the Doddophobes who either...

I have high hopes for redemption. I do. But too often we respond to print or TV criticism -- and sometimes to a perceived lack of praise -- as though it is directed only in Tech's direction. We're too thin skinned. When you go 3-9, we expect what? At the end of the season we had won three games...

Well, you know they did win 10 games.

Ouch. For the record I am a South Georgia native and Statesboro is a nice little town. And it has an interstate and everything.

This is nonsense. It is common knowledge that we all know and everybody says that Johnson's offense is too one-dimensional. Probably a non-Tech guy crunched the numbers and didn't know how to work out percentages. (And as an aside, I have to say my friends on the board must be sleepwalking...

One thing certainly can be said. That QB is not afraid to chunk it into traffic.

I got it! In Tulane he meets up with Larry Brown, who will introduce him to the big leagues of probation.

It's hard to consider this "minor". Academic fraud, carried out by university officials charged with compliance, close enough to UNC's transgressions to be a distinction without a difference-- phony courses, phony grades vs. real courses, phony grades with the added probability that the advisor...

It also seems pretty clear that the Lions were in the deny, deny mode regarding concussions, including those he suffered. (Really, if you get your bell "rung", that's by definition a concussion.) Moreover Calvin Johnson understands concussion: the brain smashing against the skull. What was worse...

And more on Yandle: when a fellow begins taking seriously the gladhanding compliments of his fellow travelers and thinks they represent or should represent the sample as a whole, he ought to be fired. Everybody knows how that goes: To Yandle it is always what a great job he does. As an aside...

I still find it astonishing that people will share almost anything with complete strangers with a tweet, a text, or a Facebook post or whatever -- smoke signals next?-- and apparently consider no part of their lives as belonging just to them. I guess I come from a time when my life is pretty...

An end-of-year summary in which no player missed any significant playing time due to an injury. If we could get that the rest takes care of itself.

Good piece, good get. I hope it works out for him.

Yes, the Lions "used" him, as in abused him. It is reinforced reading his opponents' critiques of him as a receiver. Which came first I don't know, the injuries, or the over-the-middle dink possession receiver. Today's sports equivalency would be turning Clayton Kershaw into a closer. The pro...

Uh, Thomas, Hill, Cone, Smelter, Waller ...

Actually, that one has some character.
