I'm betting this won't last Williams is a natural guard.

Too bad. His dad was one of my isn'e favorite players. I ws thinking the staff would give him another year to see how he actually panned out, but I guess that's more difficult today. Good luck, Bobby! I wouldn't be surprised if you turn out to be as good a player as your Dad was!

Well, what coach doesn't say this? I believed it when Paul said it: you were either tough or you didn't play QB. This applied across the board as well; it wasn't just QBs. I believe QBs have to be tough, but so do the players around them. And that isn't necessarily enough; talent counts as does...

I think having Cabrera as President does make a great difference. But it really comes down to Key. And there the jury is still out. Personally, I think he'll succeed. He does have a good staff and the substratum is sufficient that if anyone falters replacing them will not be crippling. But …...

Yes, me too and believe that's where he will end up. But … it'll be fruit basket turnover for the first few games until we get the best 7 sorted out. Williams at guard is, I think, a given, however.

I think this is a selection of guesses. As I've said before here, Tech doesn't have a proven QB and we don't know if the present candidates will work out, especially behind a (probably) so-so OL. If that wasn't the case, I believe the ESPN predictions would be much more favorable. I think the...

Congratulations to all of these fine coaches and players. My favorite - and I'm very glad to see him in the HoF - is Mackel Harris. He is a prototypical Tech diamond in the rough. How many people - then and now - would have recruited a 6', 180 Lb? But Pepper saw something that others didn't: he...

Well … unless Labour is in power, yes. The Economist is and always has been an old style liberal (you know, free markets and free men) publication.

One of my favorite books - I've cited it here several times - is Duncan Watt's Everything is Obvious (Once You Know the Answer). This great book is a pean to the general unpredictably of human institutions. I see the points everyone is making above. I know that NIL and treating scholarship...

This is, in my experience, damning with faint praise. I love Mississippi, but it is hot as Hades in late summer.

You are right. The Grave is spectacular and Starkville is such a pit that you wonder how Mullen could build a respectable football program there. But he did. Btw, I'd visit Oxford in August before I retired there; it gets a trifle hot in central Mississippi.

I hate that we are playing this game. My favorite teams are TECH, then Mississippi State, then Ole Miss. I'm always conflicted when we play the Rebs; I always root for Tech, but is just seems off somehow. It is even worse when we play MSU; how can I not root for the Good Dogs (my Dad's old...

He was a great back. Period. Full Stop. Big even for today, very, very good in the trash, with a great burst and good finishing speed. The main thing, pointed out above, was his ability to read holes and cut up field. Dwyer reminded me of him that way: find a hole, cut up field, then square up...

Me too.

You know something about this? Btw, if this was true, then, given Knight's talent level, it is yet another indictment of TFG and his "decision making". I always suspected that he wanted to favor players he had recruited on both sides of the ball, whatever their talent and experience; why else...

Yes, I think Major League Baseball and the NBA are probable models for the final result. What I don't know is how the NFL will finally fit in. Will the league contact potential breakout players before the colleges do? In short, will the quality players be going to schools that the NFL dictates...

See: https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2023/05/19/Labor-and-Agents/nlrb-complaint-pac-12-usc-ncaa.aspx?ana=mk_sbd_da_emda What the NLRB is saying here is that collegiate athletes (in full scholarship sports, I assume) are employees and would be treated as such. Hence a lot of...

I believe it. AI (the very term is a deception) is still in its infancy and would return just htis kind of flapdoodle. I expect that as language processzing improves, so will the quality of the results. No doubt you'll have a choice of whether you want an honest assessment base on the facts or...

Endeavor, by a wide margin. My wife and I have been watching from the first season and have 6 more to go. Good acting, good scripts, good direction. And it's all set in Oxford in the mid-50s. I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone.

If I had to guess - I don't but WTH - I'd bet that it was the decision to not knock during the week. Now, if you are Bobby Dodd and had a lineup absolutely packed with what would now be 4 and 5 star players, you could afford to limit full contact in practice and have volleyball games the day...
