Ndamukong Suh deserves the Heisman. Derrick Morgan is one of the finest linemen I've ever seen play. He is outstanding, and is a legit NFL player still in the college game. I watched him strafe the field and hawk down the much smaller Kyle Parker like it was nothing. Therefore, you understand how good Suh is when I say that he is head, shoulders, hips and knees above every other defensive lineman in the nation. McCoy will undoubtedly get it, but nobody has contributed to their team as a whole this year as much as Ndamukong Suh has.
BeBe is very nearly as exciting to watch as Calvin used to be.
Check the video at about :30. I'm the last person on the left at the end, in the blue pants and gold fleece signaling a touchdown. Sure, BeBe isn't going to do any spinning catches or anything like that, but the way he manhandles opposing secondaries is just outstanding. His touchdown in the ACCCG was the most exciting play I think I've ever seen.
We are going to cornhole Iowa. Just puttin' that out there. I have a feeling that after the Peach Bowl debacle at the end of last season, Paul Johnson has been simmering in very constructive frustration and is going to nutpunch the entire Iowa defense for 60 minutes. It will be like watching stock animals being slaughtered. Sorry, Iowa.
The best thing about going to Miami again? NO MIAMI FANS. Those people make georgia fans look like cotillion guests. Seriously, walking into and out of that awful stadium in September was like taking a stroll through a prison yard.
I really like Dabo Swinney. He waved to us and the Reck before the ACC Awards Banquet from about 20 yards away. CPJ, whose van pulled up right in front of us, walked immediately past us, mostly ignoring us except for an inaudible hello. Oddly enough, this makes me love Paul Johnson even more. He is a man's man.
TAMPA SUCKS. Maybe I need to give it another shot when the weather is better and we are not packed into a watermelon truck while towing a priceless item, but my God that city was awful. Let's hear it for Charlotte!

A corn and animal slaughtering reference? WIN!
Thank you for abiding by my rules of engagement in Iowa stereotyping as laid out in a different post. Next time go for the record and mention something about lack of electricity!
Keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city - that aint legal either, Dude.

Oops
Sorry about that. In my defense, they were not direct references, only extremely passive-aggressive ones.
But really… how does a kerosene powered laptop work?
Mine actually runs on biodiesel.

Tampa
wasn’t that bad. Spiller should’ve been invited. He is more important than 90% of the country’s QB’s and would start at RB for any team in the country. I like the thought of DL in the running but offense wins college football games not defense.
This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
BeBe's touchdown
was freaking incredible. Also it was probably the stupidest I will ever look on national TV, but who cares – touchdown!
Bebe...
is a beast but to compare him to Calvin seems a bit wrong. Calvin faced double coverage from day 1 for 3 years and still put up big numbers. He ran amazing routes to get open (open being a relative term when there’s 3 people chasing you) as compared to Bebe who has a 3 yard stop route, a 10 yard stop route and a go route…
Calvin was a much better blocker than he gets credit for only because our running was always between the tackles while he was here but I rarely saw a DB he was blocking making a tackle.
The only thing Bebe has going that Calvin didn’t is the ability to be good enough to be a pretty high draft pick but not so good as to get drafted by the Lions…
I realize that you were only saying he is as exciting to watch but I’d say that has a lot to do with watching an exciting (read non-Gailey, non-Nix) offense

I'd definitely agree
The value of BeBe’s blocks are always extremely obvious. When we give him the short pass, it lets him show off the one facet where I really DO think he is better than CJ – slapping around approaching tacklers. Most of the other passes tp BeBe are show-stopping bombs into man coverage…. and you are right, few teams were dumb enough to allow Calvin to go into those kind situations.
I’m definitely not saying BeBe is as incredible as Calvin Johnson. And yes, I know Thomas has always been expected to be a good player. However, I never, ever thought I would be doing backflips over another receiver during the two years following the departure of one of the most legendary Jackets to ever play the position.
I still dream of a world...
where Reggie stands up and throws it straight to Calvin and gives him a chance. I seriously remember us doing it 5 times in his whole career and every time he got 8 to 10 yards just by falling forward…
Are you a LION or a GAZELLE?
I dream of a world
Where little Joe throws Calvin perfect 48 yard out routes, Robert Lavette runs for 18 on every play, and Josh Nesbitt strips a fumble on every play, only to option it to Dwyer for a 98 yard TD.
Goddam I love Makers.

Who got the bigger shaft: Clemson or CJ?
Clemson gets KU in a third rate bowl (BC gets a third rate-yeah I remember the Emerald Bowl on a baseball field, The U gets a third rate bowl-but they stay home?) and BOBBY gets exit stage left against WV. I hope the Mountaineers run all over Free Shoes University like they did over U(sic)GA in the Atlanta version of the the post Katrina Sugar Bowl. Quietest I’ve ever seen U(sic)GA people since they all sat down for the Regents test in order to graduate.
CJ is THE most dangerous player on green grass. Not on the podium in NYC?
A CRIME of immense proportions.
CU and GT should demand that OUR Coach’s name be taken off of the “ESPN lifetime achievement award” for players who get weekly/daily coverage on the 4 letter, SI, US Today, etc.
This thing has been a joke 40% of the time since Gordy Lockbaum DIDN’T win in 1984.

Tampa Sucks?
Thats rich! I’ve lived in Tampa for 20 years since graduating from Tech. If it weren’t for GT, I’d never go back the the S##Thole that is Atlanta.
Dane, next time you get to Tampa, get someone to show you around. If all you saw was the area around the stadium and the Dale Mabry strip clubs, you didn’t see squat.
