Anyone know how many dunks LSU had last night?
quote:

Was Hugh Green an under the radar recruit?


Yes, Sherrill was watching tape of Rooster Jones when he noticed Green making all of the tackles.
Actually, that was Joe Theismann. His name was pronounced “Theesman” beforehand. The Dorsett pronunciation change is correct, though.
Hugh Green was recruited to Pitt by accident. Jackie Sherrill was recruiting Rooster Jones, a stud running back from Pascagoula, the Miss state champion, when they played North Natchez, where Green went to high school. He ended up getting them both.


Here’s a pic where you can see the clear acrylic helmet. The sticker buttons are applied to the outside of the helmet and appear to be floating. I also think the paint being applied to the inside of the helmet is what made the mustard color dull and not shiny.
Also, the helmet in 1973 did not have the Pitt logo applied as a sticker like current day helmets do. The helmet was clear acrylic that was painted from the inside. I was in the football operations center when the helmet was shown to the team for the first time. The players were pumped.
I was a freshman at Pitt with Tony Dorsett when they went to that color combo and the current Pitt logo on the helmet. It was a change from the old gold helmet with no logo that the terrible Panther teams the previous seven seasons wore. Their record during that span was 16-56. Johnny Majors was the coach who made the change.


I remember someone floated this idea after the band jacked up the Auburn kicker during halftime.
Having knowledge of strengths of the Rebs may be dampened if you don’t have the personnel to combat the strengths, but I feel this Tiger team has much better personnel than last year’s team. So, I feel really good about stopping them. I also like our weapons to attack a weaker Reb team, on both sides of the ball.
I can’t imagine any staff ever having this huge of an advantage about an opponent. He knows almost every starter much greater than just film study. He’s seen firsthand every practice and game for them for years, and should be able to plan much more thoroughly than a normal staff could. It’s a really big deal, IMO.

Is that some dude that picked up the mic??
As long as they win a natty, yes they are top coaches
I don’t think he announces he is leaving before that game is over. Can you imagine him telling everyone he is leaving, then he goes and sits in the crowd at a north MS high school football game. The chances of someone getting in his face would be high.

The National Cowboy &Western Heritage Museum in OKC is very nice. A lot of really cool displays and exhibits.

What level of trolling will State fans bring

No, it’s the same as a punt that touches a defensive player beyond the line of scrimmage. Whoever recovers gets a new series of downs.

It was a scrimmage kick that went beyond the line of scrimmage. It is the same as a punt, another type of scrimmage kick. If the defense (receiving team) touches it without possessing it, then whoever recovers it takes possession with a new set of downs. Rare, since most blocked kicks remain behind the line of scrimmage, but the correct call.
