    Football Body Count

    I’m assuming that we had 85 athletes on scholarship after National signing day. We had 58 dressed yesterday. So we’re down 27! Does anyone have a rough idea of how that breaks down in terms of transfer portal, opt out, suspensions (Marlow) and COVID? The 27 seems like a huge number.

    Football Content plan for the fall

    First, some background on my coming weeks: My work at Blue Ribbon is probably about to take me into the 60-hour workweek (just for that alone) territory between now and the end of September. That means I'm going to have to manage my time exceptionally well between that and running the site. For...

    SEC: COVID-19 outbreaks on teams are inevitable

    “There are going to be outbreaks,” one official told players on the call. (The official didn’t identify himself, and the SEC spokesman declined to identify him to The Post.) “We’re going to have cases on every single team in the SEC. That’s a given. And we can’t prevent it.”...

    Remember Norval McKenzie?

    Norval McKenzie was a RB for Vanderbilt (01-04) and he led the team in rushing in 2003 and 2004. He returned to Vandy as a graduate assistant in 2008 and 2009 and his coaching career has only skyrocketed since then. He was an assistant at Arkansas State prior to 2019 and he was a Broyles Award...

    Football BoJo vs Derek Mason

    Who do you think was a better football coach, Bobby Johnson or Derek Mason? Let's assume that they had equal resources and started from the same talent base and facilities/administration support.

    Do You Hate James Franklin?

    Back in 2014 when Jimmy Frank left us high and dry, I felt seething, boiling rage about him. I hated him for all the lying about not wanting to leave. But now, in light of learning a bit more about his time here, I am a bit more ambivalent. It does us no good to evaluate the past inaccurately...

    Football How Many Games Does Mason Need to Win?

    How many wins will it take for Mason to keep his job? The schedule looks challenging, even the out-of-conference games. There are hardly any gimmes. What will it take for us to want him back?

    An overlooked/under-discussed point re Mason's status

    This is a really good observation that I had not considered until your post, @va72. I don't know how ADMT can try to trumpet a strategic plan (which includes facility upgrades/development) for all athletics with any credibility as long as Mason is the HC. I agree that ADMT knows this and knows...

    Football Everyone, relax regarding Secretariat's contract

    To my understanding, it was not former AD David Williams who gave Mason an extension -- it was the current AD. Therefore, it is Turner's name and reputation associated with it. It is highly unlikely that Turner would accept a role as merely a puppet performing the previous AD's will. Anyone...

    Football Theory

    I bet ADMT has been trying to fire Mason since at least the UNLV game, but has been told by the university that he needs the underwriting to do it, and that the university itself won’t underwrite the buyout. They are flippantly telling Turner to go collect the buyout if he wants it so bad. In...
