And that’s the difference JG will not progress behind this Oline unless they get better. JG has to get better also as far as reading a Defense,he isn’t mobile enough with a bad Oline and it’s been just as bad since Dobbs but Dobbs managed because of his feet which opened up the field for the passing game.im just tired of seeing the box loaded because they know JG won’t run and he doesn’t really have time to pass.the teams we play do not respect JG at all

We'll see what this line looks like with more size and depth and what this offense and jg looks like under Chaney before deciding if he can't progress. I'm expecting good things.

Best case scenario is JG balls out and stays so we have a senior QB going into our make it or break it year.

If that means we lose one of Shrout or Maurer then so be it.

Also I’m not sure why we’re factoring Hill into these discussions at all at this moment. He’s a walk on and may never gain a scholarship. We’re taking a flyer on a kid and letting him rehab on our dime in order to create good-will with his high school.

Ideally, yeah. But JG also knows that the overwhleming majority of his receiving corp are leaving after this season. If he balls out, I wouldn't blame him for trying to get a payday if he thinks the lack of experienced guys coming up will hinder his own production his senior year.

Would love for him to stay though.

I got one. The LSU game when Dooley was here. Also the LSU game when Jamarcus Russell threw like a 90 yard pass to beat us. I was there and was like wtf.

Russell fumbled in that game, and they called him down. Before replay. There was a chance that would have won the game.

And the pass to beat us was short but with less than 10 seconds left. They converted on a 4th down with 2:00 left.

It's not a lot different. They both cheated to keep players eligible.

imo, UNC's was worse. With Mizzou and State it was (probably) a rogue student and a handful of athletes cheating. I know in the Miss State case, when they figured it out they immediately self-reported and fired the student.

At UNC, the school itself set up a system of structured cheating. That should have lost the school its accreditation. That's a wholesale, administrative academic violation.

The context of this was even more interesting. He went out of his way to point out that Osbourne didn't have any issues with Tennessee and enjoyed his time there and did everything the coaches asked. He just wanted an opportunity for more playing time. And he got approval. Really highlights how much the previous school controls the waiver.

JP making guys like Harbaugh, Saban, and Dabo look like real assholes today.. the only way it gets better is if he’d just came out and said he’d gave Kelly Bryant a ring lol

To be fair saban and Dabo also wrote letters to get outgoing players immediately eligible this year. Maybe not in the past but this year they did. Dabo wrote one for Bryant. Just didn't give him a ring, which is fair. I think Pruitt's comments were directed at Harbaugh and the ncaa specifically.

The fact that they should've lost accreditation was exactly the reason the NCAA didn't want to touch it. UNC is a prestige school and their fraud was just too big. Collapsing a prestige school isn't something the NCAA wants or is designed to do. UNC in that situation was like the big banks a few years ago -- too much was on the line (a serious blow to the entire university not just a sport in their Atheletic Dept.). The scandal's potential consequences made UNC "too big too fail/prosecute" for the NCAA.

It also showed that the NCAA is sorely lacking in any regulatory power when the university itself rather than just the AD or a team within it is actively involved in a sports related scandal.
