Other than going remote with HQ, what has GK done? The person overseeing the referees is an ex military officer and not a long time college referee?

I've got the game ready to tape as I play even more bad golf. Thank you.

Is he wrong? Is there a better CFB 'town' in the west than Eugene? Folks show up in the Coli when SC wins, otherwise?

Man, it's tough seeing all of the DL starters plus Flowe dinged up. Hopefully, these guys will all be good come the 1st game? Lots of great guys on the roster but have to stay healthier than last season. I like Lanning holding these guys except for learning the new schemes, out of spring ball contact. Need all hands on deck come 9/3.

Something that never looks better on your permanent record Chip. Great stuff. Great looking future.

He inherits a stellar QB. Like he inherited Justin Herbert. It will be fascinating to see how the O performs under Mario and new OC Gattis. Gattis won the Broyles award last season because he had a great OL and a great D that covered up many of the Wolverines errors on O. I think that Miami could get blown up at A+M in 2022? IMO, Miami will not be able to road grade the A+M D. The penultimate regular season game at Clemson should also be very interesting. I do not think the Mario hype will be proved up? However, playing in a smaller stadium, the Miami spring game is sold out.

The starters are fine, but the number of OL guys is so thin. The transfer from UVA will help but injuries will happen. Williams should also help. The OL gave up only 18 sacks in 2021 and that was with Dart, now at Ole Miss, playing QB. Williams is quicker and more elusive but quick enough to help out this OL? I see a flip in 2022 for SC from 4-8 to 8-4 or 9-3. Conerly was a great get for Coach Lanning. SC has not recruited 5* OL guy in 7 years!

The system and scheme in CFB so matter. The prospect of bringing back the Brand is super exciting. I just hope Flowe will be day 1 good to go? And the QB that wins the competition is far more than a game manager.

1 of 2 highly recruited Dawgs to leave the program this spring. The UGA O OL should be great and the QB returns. But lot of guys from Lanning's great season last year moving on to the NFL. And the #1 WR transferred to Bama. Shock the CFB world on 9/3? Nothing would give the Pac-12 a better bounce than OR winning 'at' UGA and Utah winning at Florida.

Perhaps sour grapes? From a potential Heisman winner to a guy benched for a freshman?

Was anyone ever handed a better group of assistant coaches than was Chip Kelly?

A #3 class? Your post to the football gods' ears. If it takes 3 years to be in the final 4 then he will not be close to Nick Saban. I love your enthusiasm but bringing in the #3 class at Oregon would be astounding. I sure hope your optimism is realized.

Bobby Orr?

"Years off my life?" Give me a break. This would have been laughed at 20 or fewer seasons ago. In the 60s in high school we practiced intentionally without water breaks. Smart? No. But worth $100M? Amazing, I'm 75 and still alive. Still alive when the seat belt was your Mom's right hand. Still alive without having to wear armor to ride a bicycle. Still alive while eating stuff off the shelf that wasn't labeled. Still alive when we used to hitch-hike everywhere. LOL. Let's just get to 7 on 7. Probably coed 7 on 7, sooner rather than later. Would have loved to have seen this guy hitting the beach at Normandy or hitting the beach in the south Pacific. Where is one of Charles great 'kitty-cat' GIFS when we need it. Because of my respect for the site I'm not going to use the P-word. Should anyone be practiced 'sick?' No. But this stuff is so over the top it is beyond belief. Seriously, with all of the 'junk' going on today how long will CFB or the NFL for that matter, continue to be played? 'First thing we do, we kill all the lawyers.'

He is in a long line of those, including Dabo Swinney, who believe that CFB as currently structured is not sustainable. You simply cannot ignore the impact that NIL and unrestricted free agency is having on the money ball sports, basketball and football. Add W VA basketball coach Bob Huggins to the list. He wants consolidation and a 32 team basketball tournament that will not spread the money asunder. Our Pac-12 commissioner has asked the member schools in the Pac-12 to step up and spend more money on CBB and CFB. But how many will or can do so?

I think Arkansas is a decent opponent?

Fascinating game in 2022, besides BYU at Oregon; Arkansas at BYU. In 2023 BYU officially joins the B12. No program will benefit more from stepping up to the P5 than will BYU. Last season the 13th ranked Cougars had to play in a crummy bowl vs UAB.

NONE of these pundits understand how difficult it is to go on the road in the Pac-12 for 5 conference games. Why, because they somewhat understandably discount the Pac-12. Since CU and Utah joined the conference, no Pac-12 team has run the conference schedule. Not one. And every conference opponent is fired up when they play the Ducks. After the rivalry game, every team wants to defeat SC and the Ducks more than any other opponent. And btw, no team that played 9 conference games has ever won a playoff title. Open on the road vs a team that will be preseason ranked in the top 3. Play a team, BYU, that will be preseason ranked in the top 25 and last season finished ranked #13 by the playoff committee. And play an FCS team that is far from a cupcake. These rankings are one of the reasons the SEC teams get a mulligan. Other than Bama and UGA, of course, last season, the SEC was not all that in its bowl games.

Sorry, the young man's name is Stetson 'The Mailman' Bennett.

I checked, Stetson is healthy and will start at QB for UGA in 2022.

Oh, that's bad for your health and scoring points.

None of these draft gurus are the least bit self-accountable. Where is McShade and Kiper's post-draft grade on how close (far off) they were in their draft projections. If these guys picked at the track like they do with the draft they'd be homeless.

Negative Events With Spin. Some guy claimed Conerly was NIL paid $1.2M to commit to Oregon. This un-social media is off the rails.

As far as I could tell the young man was homesick?

JT Daniels has transferred to W VA. But Natty-winning Stetson is back at QB, unless he has been injured and is out for the season. Stetson, unless injured, is THE GUY.
