I remember that. That was a thing of beauty. To me that possession was DH's Heisman moment. LSU's defense was one of the best in the country, and they could not stop him.

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere here, but one observation that I saw on social media was that RW caught the go-ahead TD pass with exactly 2:26 left on the clock. How cool is that? 2-26 seems to be some sort of cosmic number that foretells doom for Jawja against the Crimson Tide!

I agree. We were definitely not trying to milk the clock. I get wanting to stay aggressive, but it seemed like we were trying to have it both ways -- less aggressive but not committed to ground and pound either. I see three issues here that could come back to bite us later in the season. 1...

I don't think bleeding the clock is in this team's DNA. I think anything other than super aggressive and gunning for points gets us out of our comfort zone. That may cost us a game somewhere down the line, but it also means we may post some pretty ugly scores on some really good teams. Could...

OK, thanks. I never saw that movie. Now it makes more sense.

Sort of related topic, what is the story with the message on Williams's eyeblack? It seemed like a weird thing to say. Is there a backstory to that?

I'm surprised no one mentioned 2016 Bama 52, So. Cal. 3. There are so many to choose from under CNS! But the one that gets my vote is 21-0 over LSU for the 2011 Natty. I think we had one penalty the entire game, and LSU only crossed the 50 yard line one time.

I've been following him a fair amount lately, and signed up for his newsletter. He is a smart guy and has an impressively wide range of knowledge and information. He's especially good on global trade and finance. He sometimes gets out of his lane by trying to make pronouncements on things...

It's kind of interesting that Auburn just hired a coach who had a 29-22 record at Ole Mess, went 2-2 against the dominant team in the SEC, never won an SEC championship, and got caught in a sex scandal as well as a recruiting scandal. Eerily similar to , but perhaps even more miserable than...

Remember Ted Ginn in the NCG, Ohio State v. Florida, back in the mid-2000s? As I recall he scored a long touchdown early in the game, hurt himself with a celebratory jump, and missed the rest of the game. Gators crushed the Buckeyes, so it probably didn't make a difference, other than as an...

I don't know the the "potential loss of US military preeminence /hegemony" is near at hand, nor do I think that Japan and Germany stepping up a bit would change that. But if our military edge becomes less decisive while that of some of our allies increases, that may be a net plus. Dominance...

I agree, if the decision had to be made tomorrow it would be between Mel Tucker and Lane Kiffin. (Kirby would be ahead of them on that list, but I don't see him leaving UGA). But four years ago it would have been a different short list, and four years from now it will likely be different...

I worry about that too. One solution may be to tell Russia that one condition for lifting economic sanctions and for an overall peace deal is that they have to give a fixed percentage of their oil revenue to Ukraine for war reparations for x number of years.

Yes, the message needs to be delivered clearly that the response will be swift and decisive, as in elimination of the Russian Pacific, Baltic and/or Northern Fleets, the Russian military presence in Syria, Russian forces in Transnistria and/or Georgia, etc. I have to assume that message has...

It stands to reason that unless Russia has some sort of big breakout soon (unlikely), they will wear down their resources, especially the combat-readiness of their troops. Ukraine is also sufferering losses, but they have a huge advantage in morale, plus a pipeline of better equipment than...

They are way behind, and there aren't a lot of paths for them to catch up. One would be to just grind Ukraine down in a very long war. The problem with that is that Russia may not be able to sustain such a war economically, especially if the West continues to supply the Ukraine military, and...

I hear what you are saying, and its valid up to a point, but I'd pump the breaks on pushing that idea too far. It plays into Russia's hands. The fastest way to grow dissension within NATO and lose German support would be for the US to take that view. Sometimes pragmatism has to take priority...

It worked for them in WWII Hard to say if Ukraine is winning, but it is clear that Russia is losing.

I agree, but the deal has to be tough enough on Russia that Putin can't be incentivized to try something like this again. And it has to include some kind of security guarantee for Ukraine, even if short of NATO membership. I'm thinking something where Russian has to return to its starting line...

I agree. That link contains several really hollow points and rewrites a lot of history. Reagan cut and ran from Lebanon after Hezbollah blew up the marine barracks, so why would anyone think he would have handled Afghanistan any better? The increase in military budgets began under Carter...
