I don't buy too much into the recruiting angle on helmets. If a more "modern" and exciting helmet design is needed to help recruiting, the most boring helmets in the NCAA are on the west side of the state with a trophy case full of nattys.

This sucks way more than the Bass Fishing team being suspended for the season.

Watched his Q&A with the media the other day. No mistaking Bobo's geographic origin. Looking forward to seeing his 'awfence' perform.

Or Brodie Croyle?

One of the most exciting games I remember was 1984 #16 vs #9 FSU where it was like the last team to have the ball would win. I was on bivouac during a field training exercise with the army and I was listening on a small transistor radio with an ear plug.

My entire family also went to that game. In fact, I had just gotten my license and drove. On Wire Road going to the stadium, a bird flew right into the driver's side windshield. I about had a heart attack. I should have taken that as an omen to turn around and go back home.

Best performance is a tough criterion because you have to consider all phases of the game and the strength of the opponent. Hard to beat the second half of the 2010 Iron Bowl and the dominance of South Carolina in the SEC Championship that same year. Best performance of a mediocre team had to be the 2018 Music City Bowl annihilation of Purdue. Using different criteria, answers would be different. Kick 6 and Miracle at Jordan Hare are hard to beat for exciting finishes, but not necessarily the best performances overall.

1980 on the Plains, Tennessee 42-0... the beginning of the end for Doug Barfield.

They are now only $109 short of the goal.

The ramping up of commercialism in NASCAR really took a lot of the character out of the sport. It favored polished Ken doll idols like Jeff Gordon that appeal to broader demographics over real, rough and raw characters like Cale Yarborough, Donnie Allison and Dale Earnhardt Sr. who had as much grease under their fingernails as in their crankcase.

I was the motorsports editor of the Montgomery Advertiser for a couple of years back in the day... back when Bill Elliot was dominating the super-speedways in his Ford Thunderbird, Bobby Allison was still competitive and Davey Allison got his first Winston Cup ride. For you whippersnappers, Nextel/Sprint/Monster Cup (now NASCAR Cup) was the Winston Cup for 32 years.

At the time, Miami (FL) was supposed to be no bigger threat than Miami (OH) is today. I was so disappointed. I had forgotten about the orange pelting at the UTk game. And that Legion Field tornado game was awesome. Bo ran his 69-yard touchdown right at me. I was in the company of my best friend at the time, a Bammer. It was sweet.
