Well, there's no Gronk on the team, but these guys ought to be ok. Given that Davis was an integral part of the O at UConn and didn't get the same opportunities here, I doubt we'll make the TE a major part of the O and all of them can block and catch some. (I'm assuming that Johns was moved...

I don't doubt that what you (and others) say, but I believe that players at Tech will start and be really good when they, you know, start and are really good. To be blunt about it, we have no idea how the competition between Cochran and Johnson and the returning OLs will work out. If I'm...

This is due to the coaching transition. If Paul had stayed, Smith and Hansen would be the guards coming up. Smith is a right good run blocker by all reports and, Lord knows, he's big enough. You may be right, however. Oth, the two OLs I wanted to see more of last year were Maye and Smith. Maye...

The OL got a bad rap last year, mainly due to a disastrous lack of continuity. We only lost Cooper for the year (though that was bad enough), but it seemed like almost everyone got dinged up for a game or three and some played with injuries that limited their participation. When we finally got...

This UCF business strikes me as a bad move. The old saw is that if you let the fans influence how you coach, you will join them soon. If the story is true and Collins let his decision on this be driven by the opinions of high school coaches … well, I don't feel very warm and fuzzy about that...

Since the only RB with more then 20 carries who averaged better ypc then Howard last year was Mason, I'm not sure where this "not great football player" stuff is coming from. I thought he should have always been the first off the bench when Mason needed a blow, but the coaches used Griffin...

I think the one player these posts are overlooking is Dawson. He was a starter before he got hurt and played as least as well as the other DEs. I don';t see any reason - except rosy scenarios about Clayton - to think he won't start against Clemson. Mind, I hope everyone's evaluation of Clayton...

That's because he lost 9 games his first season. If he had won 9 - like some coaches we know - nobody here would be complaining. But he has done a good job recruiting. Let's hope he can coach them up. Doing well on the recruiting trail is absolutely no guarantee of success: ask Tennessee or...

So that's what you are thinking about when you go to the men's. Interesting.

He should have. Too much class.

My sympathies to you and your bereaved family. That is a heartfelt and moving tribute to your father. I hope my son will feel the same way about me when my time comes.

What worries me is the "upgrade" to the bathrooms. The men's at BDS are a paragon of human engineering. Those group urinals get the job done efficiently and there is never a hold up. Other stadiums tend to favor individual urinals - probably some sort of kickback from the facility manufacturers...

Wait a minute. UNC has entrance requirements? For athletes? Well, of course, they don't; not really. Some may remember the truly heartbreaking tv show a few years ago where former UNC athletes confessed to having graduated as functional illiterates and having ambitions to become "maintenance...

Especially for the 10% of the population that is red-blue colorblind. That's why I always told my students to use gray scale (ggplot2 has a bunch of them) though there is also a "colorblindfriendly" palette in R somewhere. See...

Oth, getting the Navy DC (formerly the DC at Kennesaw State under Bohannon) is a very good idea. The transformation in Navy's D was the main reason they won 11 games this year. Let's hope somebody listened to him.

EXCEL isn't "weak". It simply sucks big-time for any graphic presentation. It's as good as most spreadsheets for preparing small/middle square datasets. But once you do that, the whole shebang should be fed into either JAMOVI or R and analyzed using ggplot2. I'd use JAMOVI because it is...

On VT: you mean the outfit we curb-stomped at Lane Stadium in 2018? And beat 3 out of the four last four years before that? We can do that. Again. On the Coastal: I keep saying this. The Coastal isn't a bad division; it's a very evenly matched division. Unlike the Atlantic where first FSU and...

No. This has been another in a series of simple answers to simple questions.

At one time I might have agreed. Now, I think what we need to do is resurrect the pre-Reagan University of California model. That means: • A virtual guarantee that any high school grad whose parents earn a decent living (or are willing to go into hock) and has the chops can a) enter a college...

Amen. One of our problems is that actual solutions cost money. And, since these are usually for public goods, that means higher taxes. As I've pointed out before, Americans continue to call for Swedish-level social services for Mississippi-level taxes. The usual excuse for not ponying up is...
