Somehow this one short quote from Pat Allen manages to push my learning curve button perfectly.
“Our eyes are up more and we’re able to understand defenses a lot better and that all goes to Coach Pitt,” said the 6-foot-4, 285-pound Allen said. “He really teaches us front, he teaches us rotations, those type of things. When we key in on those things, we’re able to make calls and adjust.”
Keep keying in, baby. Keep keying in.
Titos and Kool Aid.

The NCAA should give Baylor the “death penalty” for all the violations and outright criminal actions, not to mention the lies and cover-ups by officials. Five years ought to be about right.

Sort of related to the current thread, as I’m riding to my hotel in Chicago, an ad for Notre Dame season tickets came on the local sports talk radio station. I was somewhat surprised they are having to advertise for ticket sales this late in the spring.

What surprised me was that Chicago is dominated by ND and is close by. I didn’t think there would be any way that tickets would be available.

ND doesn’t dominate Chicago like it used to.
Like Atlanta, every conference school has a large alumni presence and there is no dominant college program in the area, not even the independent one two hours away.
Unlike Atlanta, the pros come first.
Coming off a poor ND season, this isn’t a surprise.

This season, it’s mangy dawgs.

Heck, it may be cheaper to buy ND season tickets than it would be to buy just the UGA ticket. How much are they?

They are pretty expensive. I looked on their site, and you have to make a contribution as well.

They need all the help they can get. If this line stays in tact the way it is… Ugh, we’re in for a long offensive season.

Yep we practiced on a dirt field and if we did not keep our heads up we got a mouth full of dirt from the OL coach

And practiced under “the chute” to practice keeping low. Back then ours was made of chicken wire (top) & 2 X 4’s to keep it together….you didn’t want to raise up. Lineman would battle under there to see would get driven out…a test of wills.
It was a sight to see, and something else to hear (cheering, grunting groaning, yelling & etc)….one of the
best parts of day. Our practice field was mostly dirt & clay too..maybe mixed in with little bit of grass…..a small south GA HS. Good times though, times that I will never forget. Made a lot of brothers/friends for life.

We practiced against an offense intent on imposing its will between the tackles with undersized linemen, so there weren’t many things to key on. 😉
