    New Blog -- The Essence of Ed Orgeron

    For recruiting yes, because no matter how you feel about Tennessee, you probably won't forget a visit from CEO.

    New Blog -- The Essence of Ed Orgeron

    Great question. Pieces of The Misfit, Manly Pointer (her character name, not mine), Mr. Shiftlett, and Mrs. Cope. I don't find him particular at home within any of the stories, just the caricature that he sometimes portrays. Thanks!

    The Once and Future QB

    I'm not a fan of quitting either, but I do feel like BJ's path to becoming a starter was filled with substantially more potholes than most other situations. I'm pulling for Cromp too. I just don't want to have that sick feeling on the morning of the UF game.

    HA! That maybe the greatest compliment of my life. By the way, I would consider defending your sister's sexual proclivities the honor of my life.

    But did anyone really think there was going to be a different ending to that story? Maybe I'm in the huge minority here but Crompton is a lock to be the starter.

    The Once and Future QB

    Really? I think I made it pretty clear that there is a thick ambiguity surrounding why it all went down. It's hard to be an apologist when I'm not really sure how I feel about the entire situation. On the flip side, couldn't you argue that many fans are entirely too quick to villainize...

    The Once and Future QB

    Is the production this season going to be a question mark? Yes. But when one guy is getting all the first team reps, is it a leap to name him the de facto starter? Do you really believe if Crompton gets 80% of the first team reps that somehow Stephens will magically become the starter? Agree...

    That's a pretty simplistic view of it.

    The Once and Future QB

    Not churning, just trying to understand what happened. Actually it is 100% speculation. More specifically, it's just my ignorant and unfounded opinion. I make no judgements. For me to judge a guy like Kiffin who is abundantly more successful than I will ever be just doesn't make sense. But...

    I've never heard that.

    The Once and Future QB

    That sentiment kind of seems like a cheap shot when regarding someone else's future. It's a great thought to have, but if you are a player staring down the barrel of a career-long term on the sidelines, don't you have to consider leaving? Would you hang around if you knew the odds were stacked...

    The Once and Future QB

    Kiffin hadn't named a starter, but with first team reps you don't have to. Further, didn't it seem like the praise came a little more effusively for Crompton? I just think it would have taken a ginormous downturn in Crompton's play for Kiffin to seriously entertain starting BJ. Just my humble...

    Thanks for the feedback. I think if all things are equal, Kiffin would unquestionably lean towards Coleman. If you have the option between two guys who will give you mediocre QB play, how can you not go with the situation that will look the most enticing to recruits?

    The Once and Future QB

    Just to be clear, I don't think Kiffin asked him to leave. Thanks for the compliment on the writing!

    New Blogs: The Rearview and Coleman or Crompton

    Not true at all. That suggests that there is only crappy or non-crappy, but there has to be a spectrum of crappiness. The new 90210 and current season of Heroes are both crappy, but can you say they are equally crappy? No, because Heroes, at one point, was good where as the new 90210 has never...
