I think the New York Convention realized that, once they los Long Island, the US had no way to retake them, so they have to be denuded (to the extent possible).

I kind of like Mizzou's black jersey-yellow pants unis. Ty takes too many hits for his own good. Learn to slide, throw the ball away, or brace yourself for a hit.

Just because they have not yet announced a starter (before the first scrimmage) is not the time to push the panic button. A colleague of mine spoke about "thinking in time." What the situation is today is not what it will be tomorrow, or next week, or next month. Relax, grab some popcorn, and...

Mizzou was the next game. Mizzou drives the field for an opening possession touchdown, Bama's offense flounders a bit. Facing a 3rd and 15, but wait! Zion Young of Mizzou (who had not made the tackle on 2nd down), runs over to a Bama player on the ground and flexes over him. Unsportsmanlike...

I understand confiscating (or destroying) military supplies the British Army might use after having occupied King County, but laying waste to the entire county seems a bit over the top.

250 years ago today, Washington writes to Hancock that the New York State Convention (which was the post-colonial government of the state), resolved: "August 10th. Having learned that the inhabitants of King's county, Long Island, did not intend to oppose the enemy, the Convention appointed a...

It did cause considerable schadenfreude that one of the main reasons why Vandy lost was three turnovers by Pavia. GMac on the broadcast noted that it was Pavia's mistakes that cost Vandy.

For me, the shotgun snap has to be in a certain box. for any mishaps to be the QBs fault. A snap that rolls back to the QB about four feet off centerline is clearly the center's fault. If a snap hits the QB in the hands, but the QB was looking elsewhere and he drops the snap, that is on the QB...

I just finished watching the Vanderbilt game. Ty was not as crisp as he had been in previous weeks, but he was still pretty good. Plus, I think Grubb was committed to the run and stayed committed to the run. Now I am up to the USCe game, were the wheels started to fall off the season.

I hope it is someone who can grab a teammate's facemask and tell to play better (should someone need that encouragement). In my view a team captain is someone who improves everyone around him. Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, A J McCarron

At Dulles, there are police whose job it is to tell violators to move on, but (a) the number of people standing in the zone is enormous (right now, I'd bet that there are 100 cars standing illegally in the 1/4 mile long front of Dulles terminal) and (b) the police are not too motivated to do...

Here is another one: Folks who bring toddlers into a sit-down restaurant and do not remove the child when it gets into a screaming fit. I like kids. They mean there is a future for humanity. That said, toddlers sometimes get really upset and do not yet have the self-discipline and self-awareness...

Agreed. I know a QB cannot play scared, but a QB who gets hurt harms the team so much that I wish our QBs would protect themselves by throwing the ball away or even taking a sack rather than risking serious injury. Tua was absolutely horrible in this area. I love Tua and am thankful for his...

One thing that really struck me was that Coach Grubb called a much better game against UGA than against Fla State. A little bit tricky, more dedicated to the run (and effective at running). Lot of injuries over the year. Bama in September was not the same team as Bama in December (especially Ty...

You are probably right, but the ESPN strength of schedule ranking are telling.
