On a 30 for 30 show about Bo, Boomer said he was watching Bo during warmups before that game and told a teammate "we're in trouble."

I sat right behind the Maryland bench and really enjoyed watching Boomer warm up.  He threw such a pretty and catchable pass  

 

My company contracted Boomer to do some PR work for us a number of years ago and we talked about that game a bit and his biggest reflection was about Tommy Agee's performance that day. An amazing game by both teams.  What got my attention the most was his detailed recollection of down and distance details of the game. Sharp cookie.

Always liked Boomer

Maryland was no pushover.  I think they were ranked something like #7 in the country, and I can remember being awestruck by the rifle of an arm Boomer had.   I remember seeing maybe 30 to 40 yard passes being thrown on a rope, zero arc on the pass.

yep over 200 yards

I'm no X and O guy, but I think I recall they ran the "wide tackle 6" defense, which meant they had practically no one in the middle on the line. Agee wasn't touched for about 5 yards every time he carried. 

I was a student in the endzone, so the alignment was just obvious for the taking. But as usual, I was also slightly impaired, so my recollection may be off.

I think Calvin's tweet ends this drama.  Had he wanted to decommit, you don't purposely tweet out that you are "110% committed and always will be. WDE"

Well, based on your track record, now I'm inclined to believe he gone but, maybe you're right. I wont count on it

"Based on my track record" in what way?  Someone piss in your cereal this morning?  

Look, if you want to start picking fights out of the clear blue sky, that's certainly your prerogative.  But don't cry when I punch back.

It was certainly the case last year where the women's sport far outshined the men's. Shaping up for the same in 2017.

I always wondered what happened to our dominant swimming program. We were a perennial contender when i was there. Was it a funding issue?  Did Jay refuse to upgrade our swimming facilities?

no idea on the facilities but we lost the most dominant and greatest coach the state of alabama had in David Marsh and its been slowly downhill ever since.

I honestly did not even know what thread this was in. Just saw JJ and got enraged. Coach Quick dying really hurt us as well. He was not marsh level but he was a great coach in his own right. but yes back to Calvin Ashley.....  UNDER ARMOUR BIDDING WAR!

Yeah just seeing JJ's name nowadays gets my blood pressure soaring. You think Battle wouldn't give Saban whatever he wants? >:(
