I thought I had read somewhere that he had spent a lot of extra time on special teams. I think he did well with special teams, but if you can't do it without taking a lot of time away from other periods, maybe you're not that good at teaching it. I don't see Saban giving up a lot of practice...

Do we still follow this playbook if the candidate doesn't use a playbook?

I was in the close endzone and I thought Jennings had it until Calloway came from nowhere and snatched it for the TD.

Here's a link to a series of paintings from the Spanish Empire trying to identify and classify race in New Spain. Redirect Notice

This is a link to a rather long article by a former BYU player trying to figure out BYU's recent struggles (they lost to the same USU team that we beat)--blame the coaches or the players. Deep Shades of Blue – BYU Football – BYU Basketball – BYU Recruiting » Blog Archive » Do BYU’s Coaches...

I think it's been brought up, but the humidity in August can be a killer. I'm originally from out west, in fact, I attended USU for a year. When we moved here in August several years ago, we thought we were going to die. My dad came out two years ago, spent an hour mowing my lawn, and was flat...

For NYC, park at one of the ferrys and ride across--you'll get to see the statue of liberty and land near Battery Park. Parking and the ferry ride is cheap. Definitely visit the footprint of the Twin Towers--I went with a Boy Scout troop and will never forget it. Driving isn't nearly as bad...

I wanted to believe in Dooley for a long time, but when I watched him pack it in at the end of the Missouri game--with a minute or so left with Bray's cannon of an arm and all of our WR weapons--I realized he just doesn't get it. To not even take a shot, relying on our defense to somehow get a...

I've wondered about this as well. Several posters have said that they deserve a scholarship--and I don't doubt that at all. But if I were trying to build a legacy class or rebuild UT and there was a chance we could bring in another phenomenal player or two while I paid my own way or my...

Al Pacino - Any Given Sunday - Game of Inches speech. Especially appropriate after the overtime loss to Georgia. Six inches and Pig gets that TD. Sean Connery - Untouchables - "What are you prepared to do now?"

Just got back a bit ago from the game with my son. we had a great time. Just caught up on the thread from the game. Great reading. Here's what I liked about the game. The defense was very aggressive and kept attacking. Even after they gave up big plays, they didn't drop their heads like last...

Not that it adds much to this or what others have said, but we had some training yesterday with a teacher from Cincinnati who used to work at the Bearcats athletic department and still has friends there. I asked her about the change in coaching staffs and she said the staff at Cincinnati really...

I didn't see much of Neal in the second half, I was worried that he might have been hurt. King left limping in the second quarter, I don't remember seeing if he came back in. It was a great crowd today and as others have mentioned, the defense outplayed the offense. Both QBs looked a bit...

I can't wait to cheer for the defense at the Orange and White game.

I'm liking this hire more and more as I learn more about him. I watched some videos of him and his players today and was really impressed with his press conference. If he keeps Graham and Pittman, I think that's a fantastic start for a staff. I'm very interested in who he plans on bringing...
