yep....and her business and finance background.....future AD somewhere ?...

Mallard Creek one of the top teams in NC>….he will get plenty of publicity if the team does well again this year …..

Did you watch our QB this year? ....he was far more accurate on those quick outs than any other play....basically throwing to a guy who was standing still waiting on the ball....saw somewhere that JS had almost an 80% completion rate on those. The main weakness for us was poor blocking by the WRs to give RD a moment to break with the ball. JS threw over the middle to other receivers with probably less than 50% completion rate. RD was the "sure thing" for a handful or yards and an occasional break out. Tunnel screens and things like it are widely used all over college football...not just by Gus. And nothing wrong with being a specialist....football is full of them, third down pass receivers, third down pass rushers, punters, nickel backs, kickers and even some guys like Stove who basically ran the sweep. RD had a role with the team and did it well...congrats to him for his contributions. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/college-football-washington-state-offense-so-dangerous-air-raid-luke-falk

Those screens were a way to get the ball into the hands of a guy who could make yards.....really was a way to augment the running game when the OL was suspect and no way he would have touched to ball 70 times in a season if he were running conventional pass routes. I'm sure I'm in the minority on this point, but what made him valuable to the team's offense was the number of "carries" he had...and most of the time was able to get plus yardage on the plays that involved him. Take Davis's stats away from JS and I bet he was barely 50%....these were "sure thing" passes and with his quick first step, plays to him were more like an extension of the running game and not the passing game. We are going to miss him and his sure hands.....but I think many people underestimate the value of the role he played in our offense. JMO, but he was a specialist... if he been running conventional pass routes or slants the offense would have suffered as would he have suffered when one of he QBs hung him out to dry on a badly thrown pass.

my first and I think last experience was at Pontchartrain Park in New Orleans when I was about 11 or 12 perhaps. What looked to me like the worlds highest roller coaster and I tossed cookies pretty soon after the end .....my last ride....kind of reminds me of my only helicopter ride in bad weather. Congrats on the young ladies for their courage.

Makes me queasy just reading about it...😬

sure...take the big money, screw around for a few years and then get fired and walk away with a lifetime of security....we know your game....😀 as for those fired coaches....just thinking that if they recruited as well as or better than AU, they would probably still have their jobs....or perhaps they recruited better but could not coach the guys they had?

Judging by the number of "former" SEC coaches in recent years it must be harder than it looks..or they would still have their jobs

Sounds like this is the kind of guy where you don't worry about motor or motivation.....or entitlement. He might not make it but I'm betting that lack of effort will not be an issue. Walk-ons, even preferred walk-ons come in with two strikes against them in my view....and usually know they have to work harder to prove themselves if they want to play. .

Overtime procedures, targeting, blind-side blocks and more were tweaked by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, it was announced this week. Beginning in the fall, according to NCAA.com, officials will either confirm the targeting call or overturn it. Official will no longer be allowed to let the call on the field “stand.” Instant replay officials are now directed to examine all aspects of the play and confirm the targeting foul when “all elements of targeting are present.” The panel also approved instituting a progressive penalty for targeting. Players who commit three targeting fouls in the same season are subject to a one-game suspension. The panel also approved the following: A new rule relevant to blind-side blocking techniques. Players will not be allowed to deliver a blind-side block by attacking an opponent with forcible contact. It will be a personal foul with a 15-yard penalty. If the block also includes the elements of targeting, it will be a blind-side block with targeting. A rules change has been approved to eliminate the two-man wedge formation on all kickoffs. There is more which you can read on al.com So...did they clear things up or make them more "interpretational"?

What....bosox give up a grand slam to Gardner on an 0-2 pitch.... and it was right down the middle.....BIG MISTAKE....guess even the guys in the bigs can do that..

The scariest gators are the ones that are about a foot to 18 inches long....;cause you just know momma is somewhere close keeping an eye on them and you sure don't want to make her mad...

Walked up on a couple sleeping along side ponds in high grass/rough....not big ones...maybe 3 or 4 feet but scared me good when they moved when I "disturbed" them.

That's a serious gator....it's not uncommon to walk up on one of them on a golf course along the SC coast but nothing that large... that's really big. I think SC wildlife and golf course owners try to keep the big ones removed....and maybe allow the smaller ones ….2' to maybe 7 or 8' to hang around the ponds to give the snowbird golfers something to wow their friends back in NJ about. Some of those tourist golfers are nuts.....apparently thinking they can walk up to a gator and the gator will run....which they do sometimes....but not always.

thanks...guess some folks did not notice that MSU rushed for 350 yards had the ball 42 minutes of the game.....and UT game was almost the opposite...unable to stop the pass. Just thinking that some things on the D side were hard to understand last year.

Agree...games like MSU and UT last year were unexplainable....inferior teams just went through us with almost no resistance and cost us a good season. Hoping we don't have those kinds of disappearing acts by the D this season. Gus got the blame for the losses but IMO KS should have been on the hot seat for those performances, among others.

Thanks for the analysis stat......nice to note that all of the impact players from the 2013 team ended up playing professionally.

That grizzly could probably eat our little bears as a snack....a golf buddy had pix of 4 bears in his yard from last week.....three were young'uns....yearling or two years old maybe with mom still keeping an eye on them while they raided my friends bird feeders.

That guy who committed to Uga and Crean is a fluke in my view. He has a lot to prove...got run out of the home of college basketball and can't see him being a serous recruiting threat in this area. Could be wrong but even a stud or two is not going to overcome Crean's coaching.

We had a spectacular sunset behind Melrose Mountain across from my house....azaleas finally showing forth.

Nope….me and most people in this town agree with you and guess if some old person gets into a scrap with one of the bears then NC Wildlife will rethink their policy. Big problem I think is there are all of a sudden so many bears they don't know what to do with them. Babies under 100 pounds and biggest could be in the 400 pound range from what I've seen. Big enough to cause some injury if you got a mon anxious about one of her young'uns. My son in law works at the parks in Wyoming a week or so every summer and he concurs...people do stupid things around those really dangerous bears they have.

State wildlife says they are harmless...just don't mess with the cubs.....so they just wander around and does not good to call animal control to pick them up.. Small ones are kinda cute....big ears and snouts.....and mostly they run pretty quickly when they come across a person. I've walked up on a couple of them in my yard…..seemed to scare the bear as much as it did me.

They are all over our little mountain town now....on the look for bird feeders and garbage cans that are not properly stored.

What we have to watch for... my side yard...forget the date...was about a year ago...did not reset the clock on my game camera. But we see these guys pretty often including up on my deck. .

Great picture....so where is the gator? gotta be a few of them out there....
