I'd be comfortable winning 3-0. One point more than they have will do, though. Same goes for next week.

It's far fetched, but if we were at, say 8-0, or something, I could see myself pulling hard for them and every other opponent we play because it helps us. In the absence of some self-serving reason, though, the correct and only answer is f--- no.

Say this for Gregory. Redshirting the kids is a move that a lot of coaches in his spot wouldn't do. They'd just burn the redshirt figuring what's the difference. That's pretty admirable.

To say nothing of the fact that I think at least our last five wins against them have been at noon (2014, 2008, 2000, 1999, 1998). The only one I am not sure on is '99. Winning at noon is optimal, too, because you get to have fun with it for the rest of the day and the pain doesn't subside...

You boiled the story of the 2015 season down in two sentences. Pretty good.

I thought it would hurt, but not as much as it has. I do recall saying after the Notre Dame game that his absence was the first thing I thought of, but that was before I learned how bad the line was.

Agreed 100%. I guess that's what I was getting at when I mentioned structural changes. I tire of people saying academics aren't an excuse, then point to Notre Dame or Stanford. Well, it might be instructive to review what their players are majoring in. Then, of course, we get the line...

Are we discussing who's the most right, or who predicted what? I still think the offense is largely plug and play. If there's anything that we learned, it's probably not when you replace seniors with freshmen. But I remember everyone worrying about losing Orwin Smith only to have Robbie...

It would be interesting (to me) to know where our opponents rank in the same category. Outside of Notre Dame and to a lesser extent Virginia Tech, I can't think of another opponent more besieged by injuries.

I think what he's getting at is that we're probably better than our record (regardless of what the Bill Parcells fanboys say). And that's a reasonable position. I'm not sure it relieves the frustration of the season, but it probably explains why we're a pick 'em against Miami, and will...

I think it's tough to recruit by telling a kid that he's not gonna play professionally. All of them think they're good enough, and telling them they aren't, while honest, probably isn't a sound strategy. I don't want to say we should resign ourselves to the idea that we will never get better...

Gotta be honest, if I never heard anyone use the term exotic when describing a blitz or a defense or anything sports related, I'd be fine with that. For me it only confirms that someone has been listening to too much Merrill Hodge. Try thinking for yourself every now and then and not...

This is along the lines of the point I have been making. Essentially, the practice reps we gave out in the Spring have been entirely lost to injury or dismissal. Then, many of the reps we gave out in the Summer were similarly wiped out by injury. If you look at it from that perspective...

I think there's tremendous value in going through a full offseason weight lifting program, 15 practices in the spring going over what we do rather than trying to learn what we do AND game plan for the next opponent, and all while taking a full load of your first college classes. I would take...

The issue, I think, for Thomas has been that he hasn't been able to just make reads and distribute the ball appropriately. He has been tasked with doing all that and evading an army of defenders while his teammates watch. He isn't Superman, and even if he was, he'd only be marginally more...

Bah! Six day option on the UGA game.

Did you ever stop to consider that your skillset isn't as valuable as the head coach's at a major institution, and that's why he gets more leeway?

As far as I recall, there's only one in the SEC, and you should ask Ole Miss fans how they feel about Dave Wommack right about now.

Alabama is about .500 in one score games since Saban has been there (I'd have to look it up, but I think he was 15-14 or so in the eight years he's been there). The difference between the best teams and everyone else isn't an extra chromosome that enables them to win close games. Rather...

We are roughly .500 in one score games since he's been here.
