who is also a friend. I asked him if he had played against Covington or had seen Taylor play. Turns out he hadn't, but he did ask a colleague, who had this to say.
"Dude he's a rising junior so he is a 2017 player. He's a beast. Built like Ezekiel Elliott. Has great vision. Cuts up in the hole quickly on stretch plays and hits the hole hard on inside zone plays. Doesn't get tackled by the first man. Has much yards after contact. I hope he comes to UGA. And he catches the ball out of the backfield and makes big plays as a receiver out of the backfield."
but did that feel good. Sparty Eats Paste, and Chews Corn. At the same time. I'm gonna stick a split of Champagne in my fridge with Dantonio's name on it. To be opened when he goes the fuck away. The man is a clown of epic dimensions.
I don't think I've ever seen a backfield in my almost 50 years of football watching (used to play, also) that brings so much diversity of styles and talents. Smith is smashmouth, Ty is upright style and finesse, Chris and Karan are smart, open eyed, burners, Khalid is unstoppable, Jabrill is unpredictable, Bobby Henderson is an unknown quantity. I've never seen anything like it.
if not, potentially, the best, or one of the best, in the history of football, college or pro. I mean, damn, Smith, Isaac, Evans, Higdon, Hill, and Peppers? Are you fuckin' kiddin' me? Plus Bobby Henderson?
We have scored 300 points in 6 games. Obviously, some of those (very few, relatively speaking) were from the defense and special teams, but still ... We're averaging 50 points a game through 6 games, and should proabably maintain that average through Illinois.
We have way more depth than OSU, way more, though they are scary talented at the starting positions. Call me nuts, but I think J.T. Barrett is way overrated. Plus, if they lose Samuels or Weber, they are doomed. Not to mention losing Barrett, which could happen next week.
The OL play was abysmal, and the DL play, measured against expectation, not much better. Got gashed and gobsmacked on too may run plays. Saved from embarrassment by excellent special teams play and the best QB in the conference, if not the country – down the line. Defense looked sluggish and a bit disoriented at too many turns. Not a stellar performance, but, of course, we’ll take it. UCF was way more than we expected, and here’s to Colorado not being. But, all said, we have weapons of mass destruction, and I think Wilton’s gonna have a massive year.
Tech dudes, can you do something about this?Little blue cursor appears and does not allow you to back or forward space without erasing what you've already written. Has happened to me on FB a few times, and it chews corn.
My family got its first TV set in 1968, when we moved from Germany (where my father was stationed) to Damascus, Maryland. Dad was a Michigan alum, class of '42, and I was beginning to play football with my suburban neighbors (mostly Mormons, and big BYU fans). Our backyard games were BYU vs. Michigan. Then 1969 happened. The Wolverines have been the only sports team I have ever really cared about since.
Harrison's essays on food, drink, and eating and drinking are some of the best I've read in that genre. So different from, say, M.F.K Fisher's, but complementary. The collection is entitled The Raw and The Cooked: Adventures of a Roving Gourmand. Check it, it rocks. And I just finished a collection of his essays entitled Just before Dark, and highly recommend it. Must now delve deeper into his fiction and poetry. He was one of a kind.

Use the link below for FirstRowSports. If the cursor doesn't become the hand icon, which means you can't click on the game you want, just reload.
My bet is that they're will be three links for the game, and my experience (I live in Sicily) is that that Link 1 is usually the most reliable. Hope this helps, and hope you enjoy Budapest.
No love for that Delano Hill open field tackle? I'll take it as an oversight prompted by your infectious enthusiasm for where we're headed. Love to hear you guys having so much fun.

Patriot is a flippin' hoot. Great casting, writing, and production values. Give it a shot.
Kurt Taylor, Ben Mason.
Ben Mason? Was this an oversight?

on the field and in the classroom. This is very encouraging news. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for posting.
gotta get the underwhelming D performance out of our system. Bound to happen sooner or later. We're still the number two team in country.
gave very little away.

Like, for real.
35-10 Michigan.
It may take him some time to settle in, but he's got the potential to be All B1G.
McGuffie is a once-in-a-generation athelete.
42-14 Michigan.
Great Coach.
Michigan's O is going to be Stanford on steroids by week 5 or 6. If the D is servicable, look the flip out.
I loved this guy from the first glimpses of his HS reels. Damn, just two games? The upside is wonderful to contemplate.

I have to go with Bell and Lytle. Man were they something.

Given the class. Probably Hudson and Bredeson.
That is one great piece of writing. Kudos.
You're on record: We win, you never wear pants again. Gapeesh? We got our eye on you.
Find Way to Delete Them. I'm sure all of you are willing to cut me some slack in light of what just transpired. WOW.
He's put Higdon into the mix. We may well achieve great things.

Thank God.

is deeply troubling.
Hell, we've done it before, and with less than stellar results. Maybe wait a few games, but why not give it a thought.
