A look around at how Spring Practice is fairing for our competition next season:
- GSU - Southern had to shorten their Spring game due to weather. Defense predictably dominated. Hatcher is talking national title.
- Central Michigan - CMU's spring game is the 19th.
- South Carolina - Spurrier is eager to right the ship in Columbia, and the Charleston paper thinks that Spurrier hasn't lost his marbles. Oh...and Corso thinks the Coots will win the East. As. If.
- Arizona State - ASU continues to add wrinkles to keep their QB off the ground. Last year, the Devils gave up 55 sacks. As a point of comparison, I think Notre Dame only allowed 58 sacks, and the Irish had the worst major conference OL in the past 500 years. At the same time, they are looking for stability at cornerback.
- Alabama - Finebaum says Bama is on the way back. Maybe that's because the Tight Ends might get the ball more this year? Nah. It's gotta be Saban's hair. Get the full recap.
- Tennessee - The Vols are focusing on their offense, and obviously donuts. Improving the offense was made easier as the QB play improved; although, Crompton will have minor elbow surgery after the spring.
- Vandy - They finished spring already.
- LSU - Nothing really jumped out at me.
- Florida - OMG!1!11! The best spring game ever in the history of the galaxy. Meyer didn't just invent the Spring Game. He invented Spring. Actually, he invented it but there were problems. Luckily, Tebow surgically repaired it. Oh, and Rainey looked good.
- Kentucky - Kentucky's offense struggled as their top two QB prospects combined to go 13-29 for 104 yards (3.6 yards per attempt). It's tough enough replacing Woodson at QB, but the task is tougher when you also have to replace the always reliable Tamme.
- Auburn - Tuberville can't stop chatting up his new offensive coordinator Tony Franklin.
- Georgia Tech - The Jackets continued to scrimmage without their top QB candidate (Josh Nesbitt). Last week, the NATS fumbled the ball 14 times. This week, they cut that number down to 6. Separately, the GT Sports Blog discusses the defensive disadvantages of Paul Johnson's offensive approach. It's a must read.

Taking that poll is like voting for the presidency; you have the choose the lesser of the evils. Yikes!
I LOVE the new 'header banner' (? i guess that's what you call it)
My favorite part of the GT defense article was when one of the guys that replied said things would be better now that Tenuta was gone. I know Tenuta coached a high-risk/high-reward game, but outside of Calvin Johnson, the defense was the best thing going at Tech of the past few years.
Am I crazy or didn't Corso say just last year that SCU would never win even with Spurrier. As I recall SCU fans flipped their shit and put his face on their version of the jumbotron at every game just to boo and hiss at him.
Now, Corso thinks they'll compete for the crown?
As. If. Indeed.
I'm a pretty big astronomy buff, and I'm pretty sure no spring game in the history of the observable universe was as good as UF's this year. Of course, we can only see things that happened in the past (do to the length of time it rakes for light to reach us traveling at the speed of Rainey), so technically there could have been a game as good so far.
Thank you, Corso, for sending your curse in a direction other than Athens. And, thank you ESPN for spewing your hype on Tebo and Co, we need to find the misplaced chip and put it back on our shoulders where it rightfully belongs.
Corso, nowhere in your ramblings did you make a coherent statement. Everyone here is dumber for having listened to you. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. (name that movie)

HamDawg11,
The movie is BILLY MADISON. What do I win?
Am I the only one getting "Jan Brady" syndrome with Tebow. I mean its Tebow, Tebow, Tebow all the time.
Corso picked the cocks and Herbturd picked the gayturds to win the east. Par for the course from the world wide leader in sports.
The problem I have with ESPN Spring Lovefests for florida, OU and the likes, is that it is one big commercial for that school. It's not the same at a televised game because then there are 2 teams on the field and both get coverage, but for stuff like this it is really biased.
