Trampoline derail is at least fun. Completely unrelated sexual assault derail leads to either The Worst Discussion or just a bunch of people going "ayup, rape sure is bad" and patting themselves on the back for it. There is literally no good reason for it, other than to be smug about calling something everyone agrees is bad bad or using it in a gross rear end way to score some sort of weird football rivalry points (hi, AsInHowe). So take that poo poo to GBS or D&D or ADTRW or literally anywhere that is not a thread I read and have to moderate.

I actually enrolled in one of those blow-off classes in college. Taught by like a semi-retired 70 year old man who told lots of good stories and all, and not holding anything against him because he was legitimately awesome, but it was 50/50 whether i actually went to class or slept in a beanbag in the library and I still got an A. Final was "open-everything" and to this day it's the reason that Tyler Wilson knows I exist and owes me a favor.

Yeah African American Studies courses are usually easy regardless because they're trying to attract more students (and because the athletic department can't strong-arm the physics department into making their classes easier).


Any Bama fans remember all the speculation that Blake Sims wasn't smart enough to really run the offense without help (it was actually Lane changing the plays from the sideline after the defense got set up)? Cuz Saban just came out and said that they're dumbing it down for Coker and the other 6 foot 5 white guys.

One of my old co-workers hates Justin Tucker. She had a class with him and after football season was over and he knew he was going to the draft, he came into the final, turned in a blank paper a few minutes after it started along with a pile of cash and told the teacher and everyone in the room to be cool and split it up. They did and she hated him for being such a dick.

That's actually kind of baller. Especially because you are getting the cash some bagman gave out. As long as its not like some exams in college where once someone leaves no one else can start the exam, meaning if a guy is a minute or two late they fail.

As loath as I am to move us away from trampoline chat, UGA had their first spring practice yesterday and here is the general impression:

Offense: Keith Marshall dropped a few pounds and everyone seems to think he looks to be in great shape. That would be pretty great, I feel bad that he just couldn't really get it together since his knee exploded at Neyland stadium. Quarterback situation is unchanged, Ramsey, Park, and Bauta are (allegedly) all good in their own rights. They shifted a few guys into the center position to replace Andrews, Houston and Long seemed to be taking most of the first team reps but a lot of people think that Isaiah Wynn will probably take the spot because he is pretty great and would have a long time in the position if he took it now in his freshman season. Justin Scott-Wesley also appeared to be pretty much back in form, dropped a few pounds and actually able to run around since his knee injury. He and Malcom Mitchell could have pretty huge years, but maybe not too huge with a first year starter QB.

Defense: The biggest area of strength is probably at OLB based off of our practice report. We return Jordan Jenkins and Lorenzo Carter who are pretty great athletes and can make plays, but the word is that the whole group is hyped up. It seems that the big focus is speed this year, can't complain with that. The ILB situation is a bit more interesting, we have a UAB transfer, Jake Ganus, who lots of people seem to be super keen on. I hope we can slot him and he pays off in big ways, considering the shitstorm that was the UAB shuttering.


So yeah lets talk spring practice so we can argue about who our world-beaters are since it is essentially meaningless.

Drop Your Nuts



Spurrier said our quarterbacks were doing good, Connor Mitch was throwing it around well. Said our WR's dropped a few but were coming along. Defensive staff says they're all working well together and focusing on creating a pass rush.


My translation: Connor Mitch will be benched by the second game after throwing 5 interceptions. Receivers are going to be useless. The coaches all hate each other and resentment will permeate the entire team. Losing season ahead.

We had a giant innertube that came off a tractor tire and I'm amazed I didn't end up with anything worse than stitches from that thing. All the bouncing of a trampoline but with the added fun of it being apt to randomly become unstable and flip over at any time.

He does, but a big part of it is rather than setting up a play real quick and running it before the defense adjusts, he waits for the defense to adjust, then changes the play to counter it. Basically the offense was getting set much faster than they were last year, the problem was getting adjusted after the second play call. We got much better at it after the Arkansas game, but there were serious problems before that--especially in hostile environments, without headsets like the NFL has. Ole Miss and Arkansas were the absolute worst because our only experienced center (who normally coordinates the line) went down, so Blake was frantically trying to set up the whole offense twice before each snap. Thankfully the backup center improved quickly and Blake obviously got the hang of it, but simplifying the process is definitely something I'm glad Kiffin is focused on.

Schotty definitely does, as noted Kiffin has scaled his way back out of necessity as he's started pushing the tempo more.
