I'll give it to BYU scheduling a Thursday game to gain 2 days rest on us. Hopefully 2nd, 3rd, 4th stringers are playing 2H against Ga St. Which means play aggressively H1 and put the scrubs away in 30 minutes or less.

Did the ga tech kid get granted a waiver ?

Think that is who he was referencing. Myles Sims approved. Tech's other transfer, from Florida, was also denied.

Michigan outgoing transfers now at 5 approved, 2 denied. They made just enough last minute adjustments to avoid detection and investigation.

Pruitt's upbringing ain't all bad. Rainsville is less than an hour from Chattanooga and he went to MTSU for two years. He's practically a Tennessee boy.

That's like saying Spurrier is a Tennessee boy haha. If you played and coached at a school, you're officially one of them. I hope we have the problem some day that Pruitt is so successful that he might ditch us to replace Saban though.

I am glad that you're sharing your personal experience. I have never known anyone to have one, so I thought it was a big deal. It still is a big deal, but I can see how, in many cases, it's just erring on the side of caution and how easy it is for someone to manipulate the system when all you have to do is make an accusation.

Yeah, I'm sure I would be drawing very different conclusions if this didn't happen to us.

I wouldn’t take La Tech straight up to win, but with the way the Longhorns have opened the last two seasons under Herman, 20.5 points seems like a LOT to be giving. Their defense may be losing a lot of bodies, but I think they’re upgrading in talent at every spot besides Omenihu. Maybe Gary Johnson as well, but it’s not like he even got drafted.

The RB (lack of) depth is their biggest problem, IMO. You forgot to mention that the 2nd string RB (Whittington) is a WR they converted in spring practice, so Ingram is the only true healthy RB on the roster right now. Scary lack of depth when you consider how much Herman would like to run to take carries away from Ehlinger so he can stay healthy.

Yeah I forgot to mention Whittington. They love him but he is a converted WR too. Ingram is also hurt but they think he'll be back either game one or 2. So as of right now they have zero healthy scholarship RBs that weren't converted from other positions. As far as the bet I'm just thinking about doing a small $20 bet so I can talk ish to my friend during the game. But I do think LA Tech has a very good chance to win the game. They're not a bad team and have a few guys with a chance to get drafted.

I’m thinking that the Terry Bradshaw stuff this summer along with the LA Tech CB talking trash will have Texas motivated, but you would have thought that about the revenge game against Maryland in the opener last year as well. With the points it seems like a no brainer.

I know the analytics don’t like them, but they didn’t last year either. The people they lost were Charlie Strong guys that for the most part didn’t get drafted, and now all of Herman’s guys from the last two top 5 classes are moving into starting roles. It will be a faster and more talented defense, for sure, just not as experienced. They are one class away from having the depth they need, especially on offense. That’s their biggest concern for having a special season. If they lose one more RB they will be very one-dimensional, and if they lose Ehlinger for any length of time, they’re done. He means as much to that team as Cam Newton for Auburn or Tebow at Florida.

Georgia Tech football coach Geoff Collins just blasted the NCAA for denying waivers for Antonneous Clayton and Myles Sims is eligible.


“I’m happy for Myles and for our team that he has been granted immediate eligibility,” Collins said through a release. “This is the right decision for the young man.

“At the same time, I vehemently disagree with the NCAA’s decision to not grant immediate eligibility for Antonneous,” Collins said. “As an athletics department and a football program, we remain confident that he meets the stated criteria for immediate eligibility and by not granting it, the NCAA does not have the best interest of the student-athlete in mind.”

Myles got his reversal yesterday.

From 247 1 hour ago:
"First-year Georgia Tech coach Geoff Collinsapplauded the NCAA for granting immediate eligibility for defensive back Myles Sims, even while slamming the organization for denying a similar waiver for defensive lineman Antonneous Clayton."
