He looks like he'll flog ye for a wee dram and a bit of haggis.

Even the "block" Klare made on Smith's touchdown was basically him just being there. The defender blasted him and just as easily could've knocked him back into Smith. We've heard a lot about the TE room and coaching and Day's seemed to want to make a point of using them, but the product hasn't...

Not disputing that and certainly not saying all the credit belongs to Patricia. Almost unanimously, though, (although I don't remember seeing a quote from Reese on the issue) our defensive guys, even those with multiple years in the Knowles system and Downs, who's renowned as having jedi-level...

Also, gotta think playing for Patricia has helped with his progress.

There's room for more lateraling in CFB... says the rugby guy.

I think we went from a guy who thinks genius is being a mad scientist and that his system is the best and only way to a guy who is smart enough to be flexible as to personnel and scheme and to teach rather than dictate.

Someone remind me so that I don't have to put forth any effort: how much eligibility does he have?

I'm not hating his play calling, so far.

I was there for the loss in 2011 and will never forget the death march back to Atlanta. I wouldn't mind seeing 100 rung up on the Fighting Bielimi.

If, as reported, it was a stinger, they may hold him out this week, too. I’ve had more of these of varying severity than I want to remember and the problem is that if not given sufficient time to recover, they can become chronic.

I think they’re spending some of the karma credits from winning the NC. Spending on capex, investment, as you say, in a QB who will be here awhile, and in simply winning games rather than the opex urgency of having to do everything right now and with something-to-prove scores. I think we’ll...

Even more not letting the facts get in the way of a good story, knocking him for not throwing deep. but completely ignoring that when he has his accuracy has been elite.

No question. Both hires are still upgrades; we wouldn't trade them out to get last year's guys back.

Solid, yes. Pulled everyone together under incredible adversity and blew through the playoffs, no question. Is Bowen still a massive upgrade on-field and in recruiting? So far, yes.

Two all around massive off-season upgrades with Bowen and Patricia.
