Agreeing with Trev Alberts is dangerous and distasteful, but.... I think I'll have to on a point he made. He was talking about the "BCS Buster" topic all the other talking heads were espousing, and trashing the very idea. He said that CUSA, MAC, WAC, etc., etc. conferences could occasionally...

I saw highlights of what I think was Middle Tennessee vs. Florida on SportsCenter (I was in The Booth after the game, and was looking mostly through the bottom of a Hieneken bottle, so it's a little fuzzy). Also, I checked back several pages, and found nothing on this board about it. But I...

I'm curious as to how CBS's problems with the forgery of Bush's National Guard "documents" has affected their public perception. What do you think?

This question's for any medical personnel out there. Brodie's had both knees reconstructed. His sister Reagan had both knees reconstructed. Their dad had trouble with both knees during his playing days and had at least one and maybe both reconstructed. I'm far from a doctor, but it just...

On SEC Refs Well, now the whole country knows what we've been complaining about for years. SEC refs are horrible. Florida got royally hosed twice on the same play, and make no mistake, it did decide the game. How the guy can be looking right at the mutual helmet slap and not either (1) make...

We can say Brodie shouldn't have been in the game, and that Shula blundered. And where does that get us? It gets us more (often deserved) criticism as fickle fans. It undermines Shula's support, and can only hurt recruiting. We can say that Brodie should have stepped out or just thrown the...

What? :confused:

Oliver's Right! I was at both games, and saw the football equivalent of pitch-and-roll punts put us in the hole time and time again. My solution? I'd put two men back to field the punts, with call signals prearranged to prevent confusion as to who should handle a punt in the middle of the...

I was in the stadium last night, and, without a lot of reading of other's thoughts, here are mine: Good Points: First and foremost, it was a convincing home-field win against an SEC-West opponent who embarrassed us last year. The running game was sound. Toward the end, we were piling up 5 - 7...

Pluses: We threw to the TE on a delayed crossing pattern for a TD!! No surprise that this caught US off guard...When's the last time we did that? Brodie was on. Missed only one pass I thought he should have hit. Tackling was better than at any time last year. Very few arm tackles, and our...

Phil Fulmer would tape Aycox's clarification, play it at the Neyland pregame show, and insist that he be an All-American. Roy Kramer would promote him for the Heisman Trophy. Larry Coker and Donna Shalala of the University of Miami would declare him developmentally disadvantaged, wrap...

Tennstud's a lot of bad things, but ill-informed (especially about NCAA-related things) isn't on that list. He was so dead-on so long before anything became public about the Alabama investigation and punishment that it's pretty dang clear he had an inside source in Indianapolis. If he's saying...

One non-professional's take Charlie Peprah has nothing to prove. He's clearly one of our four best DBs, and barring injury, he's going to start on September 4. Hamstrings need rest. You can put them in heat, you can treat them with sound waves and electronic impulses. But nothing will take...

I thought there were a couple of interesting points on who's on the 104-man roster, who's not, and who's at another position: First, Von Ewing worked all spring at tackle, and is now moved to guard. That tells me one of two things: Either Kyle Tatum did fine, and he's the man, or Ewing has...

Can't Belieeeeeve What I'm Readin' Here... Guys, this one's a tie, but third place can't even see the dead heat at the finish line... Tim Brando and Bill Curry First class, all-out jerk and sanctimonious, self-righteous prig.

Thanks & Closing Quote Question Tider1700 -- Thanks for the article. Very fair assessment; really can't argue with much there. Also, that's a cool closing quote -- where's it from?

I know he's just finished his junior year of HS, but are there any indications of academic status?

I like the way LSU plays the game under Saban. Strong lines, strong running game. Because they can run, they can throw when they want to, and are good at it. Slobberknocking defense. Great coach. Saban may be a jerk to deal with or work for, he might be arrogant, he might be a lot of things...

I like my beer and scotch, too, but I agree that it shouldn't be sold in BD. Some folks are bad enough as it is. Adding open access to alcohol during the game just adds too much chance for an embarrassing incident. Bama games should be for the whole family, and seeing more drunks (both ours...

Don't know for sure, but my guess would be SEC Media Days in Birmingham. Lots of speculation here that he won't show.
