I'll still cheer for us and enjoy any time we're competitive even if it's another bad season. I really want our guys to experience success. A little momentum can go a long way.

How is Blackburn's recovery going? If we nab him we'll have some seriously big targets to throw to.

We see decommits in CFB all the time. I don't know how things are suddenly different because it happens with a transfer. It sucks because we need someone like Solomon, but that's the source of the nihilism that I see.

So far it looks the opposite. Don't expect Kansas to fade away though. We'll see if the starters for the Heels can make it all game.

Shutout accomplished. Let's get out the brooms!

That's not what @slugboy said. He said that the portal would pick up after spring practices, presumably because players will not like where they stand in the depth chart.

There are a number of players that go to lower division, sometimes making multiple stops, then transfer back up to FBS level.

I'm curious how many of those P5 transfers end up at a lower division school.

Right after I posted it I thought someone would know chess and point out the QGD games, but while technically a gambit, if you know chess, you know what I'm talking about. QG is played all the time at the top level, and rarely is the gambit accepted, and if it is, it isn't even worth trying to...

The chess analogy isn't really applicable here. The game of chess ends (let's ignore clock and draws here) when someone gets checkmated. Like NFL overtime going first gives you the initiative. But football during regulation doesn't work that way. Going second is strategically advantageous...

I'm not sure that we can translate NFL data. Seems to me the deeper analysis is that defenses play as if expecting run from under center, so it's really about flexibility and making strategic calls to exploit defensive alignment and tendencies, and NFL OCs are too predictable.

Easily the most impressed I've been from any of Collins staff interviews.

I'm curious if there's a way to examine this more closely. Obviously there are a lot of people transferring for good reasons with good potential elsewhere. I'm sure also there are those entering the portal are motivated by personal, academic, medical, or legal issues, and others enter because...

Seems to me if you focus on size and your prototypes for a position you miss who the best players are. I think it ought to be empirically measurable how quick someone's first step is, their lateral quickness in picking up an edge rush, the amount of ground they give up on a bull rush, etc., to...

For the purposes of substitution, the defense can only go on what personnel you have on the field, not how you line them up. Having guys play both from the backfield and split wide gives you one possible opportunity to create a favorable matchup.

I like Adonicus too, but he's the only WR of ours to enter the portal, and we just picked up Hassan Hall from said portal. The gloom and doom is exaggerated.

Technically Gibbs was hurt and didn't play until UCF the next week.

If I were starting from scratch, I'd look for a guy who runs a different/wrinkled offense that appeals to HS recruits. From where we are at, we need to fix the defense to have all our players on the same page and have some hope of limiting the QB. If I were at a place like UGA or Bama, I would...

Gibbs does not have to be a feature back at Bama to have a bright NFL future. Plenty of guys splitting carries at places like that, UGA, etc. where it might even be preferable to their future, entering the league with fewer miles on the tires. His skill set will be highly valuable for Bama but...

On the bright side this transfer somewhat decreases Georgia's chances of a natty next year.
