Also, some people will refer to blocking at knees and ankles to take someone to the ground as a CUT block. In the open field this is always legal, provided you don't clip from behind. In the trenches, I think that it is legal as long as they aren't engaged (then it would be a chop block and illegal).

Now, back to my original point:

I hate Vandy.

Nailed it. What's funny is that I think they will get what's coming to them this year. They weren't great last year but lost a good deal of their talent. I heard that Jordan Rodgers isn't even a sure thing to start.

I believe the block you are thinking of when referring to vandy is a clipping type of block.

Things I'm worried about more than Hunter taking a cheap shot:

- our run games
- our OL play
- Dools having the team ready for NC state
- if my friend Tony Vincent will make it past the next round on The Voice
- if the supreme court will overturn Obamacare
- my 13 year olds braces are hurting her teeth
- my son thinks that Jesus, not the Easter bunny, will bring him candy on Sunday
- is eating cereal before I go to bed bad for me in the long run?
- my 10 year old daughter's obsession with her ipad's cam wow feature
- my refrigerator leaks water about once every 10 days
Why is it so hard to sleep in hotel rooms?


I think I've made my point.

How awesome would it be to see Dooley throw off his headset and go across the field after Franklin when he sees the cheap shots that are sure to come? I love seeing Dooley get fired up. and Franklin is a douche.

What's funny is that I always see that picture of Reagan and imagine you as a 65 year old. Then you talk about your young kids and it weirds me out. I realize I had no reason to think you were that old. Odd.

The only problem with his grades are the ones being made up by jealous rival fans.

this is football, there are players on every team in the NCAA on both sides of the ball recovering from major injury

if it has healed as well as the trainers say it has then he is not any more likely than anyone else to have a tear - just part of the game so not worth worrying about

Are your concerns for or against Obamacare? For Jesus or against? For candy or against?
