Charlie Ward was not a Rhodes scholar, iirc. And I agree that no one should turn down an ivy league offer, but they do not give scholarships. they send you a "likely letter" with a grant funding package that's need based or academic, and they often will let athletes directly apply to any of...

Also, the secondary was underappreciated in 15. Two NFL guys at corner and the safeties were solid and experienced.

He is major league ready. Soft hands, great reciever, gun. Has some holes in his swing, but approach is excellent.

Hehe. I paused for sure, but with Dobbs, Kamara and Barnett they were good. They underused Kamara but this UT team was, if not "good", talented. Was thinking it shows that the talent gap isnt really dispositive, and that scheme and execution matter. Had UT stretched the field with Kamara...

They took a good UT team to the wire that year.

I do (or do not, depending on your woody hype) recommend watching app vs Miami 2016. Lots of bubble screen death:

Read the athlon preview last night on a flight. We are favored by them in all by UGA, Clemson, Miami and Va Tech. Pitt (barely favored) and L'ville (barely dogs) are basically tossups. They projected 7-5 regular season with losses to those five, which seems reasonable. If we stay healthy and...

So glad he is going for it. An old friend from Westminster was our baseball and football PA / announcer and a huge tech fan until he found out that Tech didn't offer a degree in journalism. He only applied to 'Cuse and UGA and turncoated into a dwag since UGA was by far the cheaper than 'Cuse...

UGA by an infinitely long shot. If we win that one, I'll be happy with the season. Next is Clemson. I get that folks dont like richt and VT sucks or whatever, but Clemson is a rivalry game, they have a playpen for a clubhouse and their uniforms are terrible.

Looks like Nichols is doing offensive breakdown and Cook is doing defense. Nichols knows TO football backwards and forwards. He was in an impossible situation at Davidson.

I think Charlie was moved to OLB but I could be wrong.

Nichols was an option qb on an undefeated Davidson team, and was pretty excellent at Marist (personal bias, but anyone who knows him would say this is a great hire). Also, Davidson football has zero scholarships. They used to be dIII, but a little big money came in and endowed it just enough to...

I'd rather we play Clemson, UGA, and another power program every year. Oregon made their jump by renovating everything, pouring a bunch of money in and then scheduling top 10 teams to start every year. No downside from our current position.

Ya, RISP was hotly debated with David Ortiz' contract -- with the consensus being they were just paying for the papi show, not anything real. I agree with The Book's analysis.

Cam Newton won the Heisman with 2800 passing and 1500 rushing yds.

And Sturniolo is the opposite of messing with kickers. He's a statistician. When I played there, he used the same cut/stat programs that he used with the falcons for our scouting reports and grading. He might give some guidance on kicking form, but where he's really otherworldly is tracking...

Braun; some of the D guys might put up crazy numbers in this system. I would say Benson, but seems likely that he'll split carries more this year.

Go Cats... I'm a Westminster grad too and played for Romberg. Still disappointed that Tech didn't offer Sedrick Hodge.

Charlie Rogers

The numbers are all kinda screwy, but out of high school, Fields has 20 pounds, .2 s on Jackson's 40 and .3 s on Jackson's short shuttle. Jackson has way better numbers than that now, but Fields is a freak.
