Take a good look at the guy in my avatar. No, that’s not me. He’s my grandfather who played fullback for Michigan in the 1920’s. The pick is a zoom in from the team photo. He earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering as well. Not all jocks back in the day were knuckle dragging mercenaries.

Immediate or lifetime money? If we can sell "lifetime" money over immediate, then $$$ is in our favor.

I think the transfer portal is the true test of a program's and a coach's recruiting prowess. I wonder if it's a different skill set than recruiting high school players? I think we upgraded our recruiting with the new coaches, but the proof will be in the transfer pudding.

I've always felt a sense of pride in GT doing things the right way. Yes, doing things the right way makes it harder, but victory is that much sweeter. Victory minus integrity is not victory.

Aren’t the courts responsible for this NIL mess?

How many times did the yell “money down?”

Will it be televised?

He had zero ints vs the mutts.

How about waffle house cups full of frozen water?

If I wanted to be another Ivy League, I would just say join the Ivy League. Harvard and Yale and the boys don’t want to be a national champion at the highest level. They don’t compete against power five teams, Notre Dame and Stanford do. And we can still play outside the league. I guess I...

I’d love to throw something at him! 🙏

One of the toughest and meanest SOBs, to ever play on the flats. Needless to say, one of my favorites of all time. I actually own one of his high school jerseys. When I lived in Pensacola, his younger female cousin was one of my middle school students. I asked her if she could snag me one of...

We don’t know all that goes on behind the scenes. That’s why it’s called “behind the scenes”.

I bet the mutts won’t be sleeping on us this year.

One theme I hear in a lot of interviews of coaches is that we’re bringing in the right people. The right people make decisions for the right reasons. I think this will go along way to creating stability in the program.

I really like the direction of the program. I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to say that again. I think back to that introductory press conference of the former guy. I had a bad feeling. Now I have a good feeling. PS I will miss dancing on the sidelines and lifting weights on the field before...

I think zero-tech means heads up over the center. Here is a good primer on defensive line positions/names. https://www.si.com/nfl/colts/film/gus-glossary-breaking-down-roles-interior-defensive-line
