Just a ridiculously easy solution; would be better for all concerned. Why those that feel that way about him don't just do that makes no sense. I'm convinced some just have to look for things to criticize.

In Newts defense..it is not his usual MO. But it does look like that would be a great solution to me. I don't like seeing Brubear or Chiefs turds floating around, so I ignored them.

I’ll live with that. Online noise and “threats” are difficult to differentiate. Vol fans are familiar with the genuine nuts, and no...serious violence over a game is bull. But the resentment towards an ORGANIZED caravan from another school at one of the great traditional SEC game sites is on point. Individual UCF students wanting to attend the Great Cocktail Party would prolly be welcome, but the school busing em in? With their recent history? If I was a bought in Dawg or Gator, I might throw a faceless “I’ll kill you!” into the Twitter machine...but I most likely wouldn’t. Been acclimatized to modern reality where a nut would actually do it. It’s a shame. You used to be able to yell “we’ll kill you!” to opposing fans in plain sight, and they’d know it was part of the game. UCF made the right decision to back off. It’s a shame they had to be threatened to be decent.

I think UGA and UF playing EVERY YEAR in Jville is BS, anyway. They should have to go into the Swamp or between the hedges, every year. All the rest of the SEC has to experience hostile road games against each other...they should, too. Could care less how long they've been playing there. I believe it's an advantage for both of them to not have to face each other in a TRUE ROAD GAME.

I don’t agree. The Red River Rivalry, this game and the original Iron Bowls have always been one of the best things about college football. One side of the stadium for each fanbase...nothing the pro’s or other programs can replicate. And upsets are always a strong (to probable) possibility...no matter the rankings. I arrived in DFW 95 and wondered what the big deal was about. One weekend later I knew. Got hard core Longhorns and Sooners in the same Chili’s prolly local alumni that live down the street from each other! Not everything cool you read about from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s died in the 80’s...just most of it.

Also I struggled with the news today... I had to be vague due to the sensitive nature of the medical side of it. I also wanted to respect the process the university has around news as sensitive as that as well as his family. He is a GREAT KID and has been amazing to get to know which also made it hard for me...trust me when I say this kid will do great things no matter if it is in football or not....he is that special of a person.

That being said for those of you that don’t understand it and didn’t respect how I tried to relay the message please just put me on ignore...much easier for us all. GBO

Which has been part of the problem, but has been necessary at the same time. It's time to stop after seven games. Hall and Carvin are not #1 guards. They are both RT's, when healthy in Hall's case and when experienced and in better shape in Carvin's. The problem with all that rotating is no chemistry develops where each knows what the guy next to him does. I'm not seeing what they keep seeing is beneficial in playing guys in the wrong spots if the lesser performers play at all.

For the situation now you move Richmond back to LT unless you have a better one ready to go. You take your next best T and play him on the right, which is probably Tatum or Hall. Then start Locklear and Niehaus at G and ride for the rest of the season if possible. The 6th man is J-Johnson if healthy.

If they can move the iron bowl from Birmingham they can move this one.

As a critic of the way you posted earlier, it’s nothing personal and I don’t want to put you on ignore or anything. It’s really not a big deal to me. I just don’t get what the point of posting at all is when you can’t (rightfully so in this instance given that it was a medical issue) provide anything more than a vague reference.

In other words, why not just let it come out organically in that instance when you rightfully can’t provide details? I feel like that is more desirable than sending the speculation meter through the roof until the news finally drops.

Those of us that have been around awhile all know and respect your credentialed status as an insider. And I think you did the right thing by not posting any details. I just disagree with posting cryptically.
